Lostinozz Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 But mama, that's where the fun is But mama, that's where the fun is Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun But mama, that's where the fun is Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone, that's where they expect it least And some new mown chaperone was standin' in the corner, watching the young girls dance And some fresh sewn moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cain Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 You're up, post a challenge. My apologies for being slow on the uptake..... [:$] Here's the complete lyrics, except for the one word title..... [] It's a mean old bottle they call "Moonshine." Red, red wine, so mellow and fine, Come home at night with a swimmin' of the head, Reach for the pillow; missed the whole durn bed. Gin is a drink so mellow and slow, Get a little taste and you want some more. Start out walkin' and just can't go. Reach for the knob, missed the whole durn door. It's a low-down dog-life spent on the bar. Dusk 'til dawn, there 'n' that's where you are. Out on a party; get groovey and tight, Come home and forget to kiss your baby goodnight. I keep on drinkin', takes all my gold. Every Monday morning my head is sore. Whiskey, Gin and wine, so doggone fine. I'm gonna try you just one more time.

Bill Cain Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 OK, here's a hint. It's on the Specialty record label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cain Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 OK, "Drunk" by Jimmy Liggins and his 3-D Band. http://CraftonReunion.org/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/1953_drunk_jimmy_liggins.mp3 A little easier one, perhaps...... There once was a woman with wings.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Happy with the simple things. She had silk suspenders and high-heeled, stocking thighs. Helping me in my need. She was a friend, indeed. She was my baby, until the day she died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theryugobuddy Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Jeez, BC -- this thread is not for posting obscurities! Its for poking our brains with somewhat familiar lyrics that we may just remember! Kind of a walk down memory lane with classic rockers that have imperfect memories! We all have tunes we love that no-one has heard about--but we post only the ones we think someone else will know--or will have heard before---please no more thread killers!

That is a very relative term. [] But your point is well taken. My apologies for posting a song that was played at dances and on the radio, in the Pittsburgh area, for decades. Even though it's a well-known oldie, I doubt you'll find the lyrics on the Internet. Which is why I posted it. And subsequently posted the mp3 link. I didn't mean to be a thread killer. Of course, I admit I didn't read the 118 pages of posts. I probably should have...... Perhaps someone could post something new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 Okay, I'm up! [] But Mr. Cain, we want you to stay and play.... the more, the merrier!

"And each time I tell myself that I, well I cant stand the pain, But when you hold me in your arms, Ill sing it once again." Name that Tune! "Piece of my Heart" by Janis Joplin. Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand, Vanished from my hand, left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet, I have no one to meet and the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

I guess "Mr. Tambourine Man" by Dylan, The Byrds and a gazillion other folks is just too obscure for you. My mistake at giving credit when none is due. [] Have a nice day.

Jeff Matthews Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Actually, Cain's challenge of "Tambourine Man" was fitting. I'd have not been able to guess it based on the lyrics given, but I've heard the song many times. Cain, come on back now. You're in! In the meantime.... "Again the morning's come,Again he's on the run,Sunbeams shining through his hair,Appearing not to have a care.Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on." Name that Tune!

Jeff Matthews Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Buddy, that's funny. No, can't say that I've ever heard "Gang bang." But Cain did post "Tambourine Man" as a challenge, and that was a fair challenge. Anyway, name my tune. Hint, the song title is a person's name, and the band is southern rock. The guitarist is known for playing slide guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
