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

This one was done fairly recently, jogging my memory enough so that it was easy...

Blinded By the Light--Mannfred Mann and Springsteen

Another easy classic:

Yeah, you got, satin shoes

Yeah, you got, plastic boots

Can't you hear me knockin'?

You're up, post a challenge.

[Bill Cain]

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]

OK, here's a hint. It's on the Specialty record label.

[Bill Cain]

OK, "Drunk" by Jimmy Liggins and his 3-D Band.

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.

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!

'Obscurities?' 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?

[Jeff Matthews]

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.

Name that Tune!

[theryugobuddy]

BC--

Sorry for me being a jerk-- I've been on this thread since the early days, and I even started a competing thread which was smashed and forgotten long ago--

PLEEEEEAAASE post a challenge that you think we have heard but will bother us nto sleepless nights because we've heard it but can't place it!

[Bill Cain]

BC--

Sorry for me being a jerk--

Not a problem. [H]

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. I'll watch from over here....... [8-|]

[Jeff Matthews]

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!

[theryugobuddy]

BC - this was your challenge

A little easier one, perhaps......

She was a friend, indeed.

She was my baby, until the day she died.

When I looked it up I found this:

Gang Bang

---

There once was a woman with wings
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

Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues.
(repeat)

She was a woman who was twice my size
She looked into my eyes
She said "Only you can blow my blues away"
She said "I'll tell you what to do
Bring all your friends with you
And you can come up and see me any ol' time of day"

Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues, ahhh
(repeat)

There were twenty-seven guys
An unexpected surprise
She just kept on rockin' 'til the night was gone
She was smilin' through the tears
For a hundred and fifty years
Just lickin' her lips and helpin' me along

Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues.

which is Gang Bang by the Alex Harvey Band --

--not Mr, Tambourine Man--

This is Mr Tambourine Man:

Mr. Tambourine Man

Bob Dylan - Tambourine Man

hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me
i'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to
hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me
in the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin you

though i know that evening's empire has returned into sand
vanished from my hand
left me blindly here to stand
but still not sleepin
my weariness amazes me - i'm branded on my feet
i have no one to meet
and my ancient empty street's
too dead for dreamin
hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me
i'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to
hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me
in the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin you

take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
my senses have been stripped
my hands cant feel to grip
my toes to numb to step
wait only for my bootheels to be wanderin
i'm ready to go anywhere, i'm ready for to fade
into my own parade
cast your dancing spell my way
i promise to go under it
hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me
i'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to
hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me
in the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin you

though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun
its not aimed at anyone
its just escaping on the run
and, but for the sky, there are no fences facin
and if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
to your tambourine in time
its just a ragged clown behind
i wouldnt pay it any mind
its just a shadow your seeing that he's chasing
hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me
i'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to
hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me
in the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin you


then take me dissappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
down the foggy ruins of time
far past the frozen leaves
the haunted frightened trees
out to the windy beach
far from the twisted reach
of crazy sorrow
yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
silhouetted by the sea
circled by the circus sands
with all memory and fate
driven deep beneath the waves
let me forget about today until tomorrow
hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me
i'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to
hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me
in the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin you

I felt bad about being a jerk, so I looked them up--sorry

Is Alex Harvey a frind of yours?

I'd never heard of Gang Bang--anyone else?

[Jeff Matthews]

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.

[Jeff Matthews]

Here's some more....

"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.

Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (Lord, Lord)
Will you hide the dead man's ghost,
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
or will his spirit float away?"

Name that Tune!

[colterphoto1]

Melissa- Allman Brothers band- had it before the hint btw.

Michael

next up:

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp, so I wished that I could stay.

Before the thing could answer me well someone took, Took the lamp away

I looked around a lousy can was all I found.

"Close your eyes, girl...." Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride."

Here's another southern rock classic challenge:

"How many times must good men die?
How many tears will the children cry?
'Til they suffer no more sadness
Stop the madness,
Oh, stop the madness."

Name that Tune!

Name that Tune!

Fall of the Peacemaker by Molly Hatchet.

Two feets they come a creepin'

Like a black cat do

And two bodies are lyin' naked

Creeper think he got nothin' to lose

So he creeps into this house, yeah

And unlocks the door

And while a man reaching for his trousers

Shoots him full of .38 holes

Name That Tune!
