Name that Tune...

More FZ fun:

She was a debutante daisy
With a color-note organ
Deep in the street
She drove a '59 morgan

chorus (and then)

She didn't like it when her fan belt
Shrunk and got shorter
(ointment)
Battery leak could nearly cost her a quarter

Schoonerman jump on in here and enlighten the masses...

Took me a minute, but the "ointment" reference cleaned out some of the cob webs. Zappa is the artis and Florentine Pogen is the song. Great pick!!!

Here's my entry from my all-time favorite artist. An oldie but a damned good one:

__ __ you scare me so
I feel as though, my heart stopped dead
You're a liar, this I know
I watch you go, around my head

Ooohhh, I'm going down slow
Scare me so
Ooohh, you never let go
Scare me so

Gay desceiver, my eyes they burn
My insides burn, my brain is cold

Unbeliever, but now I've learned
I took my turn and come up cold

Ooohhh, I'm going down slow
Scare me so
Ooohh, you never let go
Scare me so

If you must kill me,
Please let me die Lord!
 
When you've got money
You've got lots of friends
Poundin' on your door

When the money's gone
And all the spendin' ends
They won't be 'round anymore.

Well I used to wake the morning
Before the rooster crows
Lookin for soda bottles
to get myself some dough
 
Barkeep gimme a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That'd make a grown man cry

Back in the Saddle... Aerosmith

Written by Steven Tyler & Joe Perry (which BTW resides in Austin these days). Released in 1976 in their first album.
 
But then it's flat-top, dirty bop, copin' a feel'
grubbin on the living room floor
 
Here is an old favorite, in honor of sybarite:

Lunatic Fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings
I can hear you comin'
I know what your after
We're wise to you this time
(Wise to you this time)
We won't let you kill the laughter
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Lunatic fringe
In the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far
Cause you gotta blame someone
For your own confusion
We're on guard this time
(On guard this time)
Against your final solution
Oh no
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
We can hear you comin'
(We can hear you comin')
No, you're not gonna win this time
(Not gonna win)
We can hear the footsteps
(We can hear the footsteps)
Way out along the walkway
(Out along the walkway)
Lunatic fringe
We all know you're out there
Can you feel the resistance
 
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost it's way
 
While you're pondering the Clapton tune, a little more Zappa from a later album:

Now I'm older
Got a place in the town, babe

or

They live in a ho-ho-hole
(tiny hole)
That is usually empty
(usually empty, tiny too)
They live by a code
(dit dit dit dit)
That is usually smpte
Which stands for
Society of motion picture & television engineers
Maybe I think
That is what keeps them in sync
They're wet n they're pink
I think I'll give em a, give em a,
Give em a drink

Speaking of Baby Snakes, someone eliminated some fine work in the Socialist v Dem thread... OK we get it so please, don't delete this thread.
