Marvel Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I'll keep this related to audio. While many aren't crazy about country music, and this is a love song of sorts, it has clever lyrics. Record Year Written by Eric Church and Jeff Hyde Since you turned the tables on me I’ve been steady and learnin’ lonely Keepin’ this turntable spinnin’ Everything from Jones to Jennings Slowly plannin’ my survival In a three foot stack of vinyl Since you had to walk outta here I’ve been havin’ a record year I bet you thought before you left I’d just sit in silence by myself Turn this house into a jail Dyin’ slow in a living hell But love’s got a funny way of keepin score And your leavin' lit up my scoreboard I usually make it through Side A sober All bets are off when I flip her over One bourbon, one scotch, one beer I’m havin a record year Quarter notes and Hank’s half time Are pounding on this heart of mine Song to song, I pass my time With these speakers on ten Your good and gone keeps me up all night Along with Songs In The Key Of Life I’m either gonna get over you Or I’m gonna blow out my ears Yeah you’re out there now Doing God knows how and I’m stuck here Havin’ a record year Your leaving left me going crazy Im countin’ on a needle to save me I drop it in the groove And we go 'round and 'round And down in a spiral I guess I really oughta call and thank you I rediscovered Red Headed Stranger Got down with old James Brown And found new grass revival If you find your way back, I owe you a beer For my record year Quarter notes and Hank’s half time Are pounding on this heart of mine Song to song, I pass my time With these speakers on ten Your good and gone keeps me up all night Along with Songs In The Key Of Life I’m either gonna get over you Or I’m gonna blow out my ears Yeah you’re out there now Doing God knows how and I’m stuck here Havin’ a record year Yeah I’m having a record year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love their beat. YOu have eclectic tastes in music. Something I heartily approve of. Songs abut drinkin? Tell me more! (better not be 99 beers on the wall) As it happens, the first three songs were by Toronto bands that were big in the 1980s. So you want drinkin' songs? Here's a classic: George Thorogood - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 George does seem to like his drinkin', or at least he likes singing about it. This was recorded in 2013, and it looks like he's not aging too badly. He was asked what he does to stay healthy, and his reply was that he gets plenty of sleep. "The doc never told me, 'George, you're getting too much sleep.', so I figure I'm doing something right."

Islander Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Then there's Joe Walsh. He was drunk non-stop for decades, but he finally quit in 1994. Then he discovered that he had to learn how to play his guitar while he was sober, something he hadn't done since he was much younger. With encouragement from his wife, he got it together and started touring and recording again. Here's a song from his 2012 CD, Analog Man.

thebes Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Then there was Thebes. He was drunk for decades, but... ..but... ...er, um, then there was Thebes thinking that maybe all love songs aren't all bad. "My Dingaling" for one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Social Distortion if you're into fast paced guitar playing and punkish rock, Brian Setzer Orchestra, The Offspring, U2, Judas Priest, Metallica, to name a few. With friends like you, who needs enemies? You ain't right, you ain't never gonna be, You're out of the car, I'm afraid you've been declined. You shake my hand, while you're pissing on my leg I'm cuttin you loose, I don't need this misery Your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine. You talk real trash when I'm not around To build yourself up, you gotta to tear me down. You'll have to excuse me, I've got better things to do. You smile through your teeth, you talk out your neck Every chance you get you're gonna stab my back. Your time's run out, I've got nothing left for you... [Chorus:] I'm leaving you far behind. I'm leaving you far behind. Stop wasting all, all my time. I'm leaving you far behind. So I'm pulling out the weeds, I'm taking stock You can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk Your narcissistic ways have gotten the best of you. So I'm leaving you to sink, in all your glory For you and me it's the end of the story. Get out of my way, I've got better things to do... [Chorus x3] With friends like you, who needs enemies? You ain't right, you ain't never gonna be Your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
