Embarrassing Tunes
|
|
| Seņor Popcorn-Coconut 2007-04-25, 9:25 am |
| I finally got around to downloading a bit-torrent client, 'Vuze', and
was inspired to look into some peculiar tunes I haven't heard since they
came out to see if they might be available and how I might respond to
them now.
So far I've only managed to find 'Have You Never Been Mellow', by Olivia
Newton John. Quite an odd time warp kind of effect that visualized that
olive-gree lava lamp and brown shag we had... I think both are still
being manufactured.
I almost got a hold of 'More More More' by Andrea True Connection, but
pressed the wrong button which canceled everything.
Naturally I'm now curious to know of any peculiar tunes that any of you
guys might have liked in a mildly embarrassing kind of way. :D

Love You' deal.

Nicks. Mrr-owwww.

I was a big Elton John fan when I was a teeny-bopper. But I guess that's ok
since most of his early 70's stuff was vastly different than his post-Yellow
Brick Road mid and late 70's stuff.
Also, I liked "RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STARTED FROM" by Maxine Nightingale
"SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD" by Elton John
"Rhiannon (Will You Ever Win)" by Stevie Nicks
"Say You Love Me" by Christine McVie by Fleetwood Mac
"A LITTLE BIT SOUTH OF SASKATOON" by Sonny James
"YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE DANCING" by Leo Sayer
Why you ask? It's the soundtrack to the movie Slapshot, the George Roy Hill
hockey movie with Paul Newman. Hugely influencial for hockey crazed
Canajuns like me. Right Michael? Ken?

Cold hearted orb that rules the night, removes the colors from our sight.
Red is gray and yellow, white.
But we decide which is right, and which is an illusion.
Then a crescendo of flute, moog, strings and finally cresting with a
gong.........
(yeah, I memorized that stuff.....)

These threads are only going to work if you don't further humiliate the

<gettin down on my knees, pulling soiled hanky out of back pocket, blowin
runny nose>
Father, I have sinned. <sniff>
At a tender age I was smitten by Olivia Newton-Johns voice on the cheezy AM
radio having never seen her face. <sniff-sniff>
My sister bought the 45 of 'I Honestly Love You' and I snuck it out of her
room and played it through headphones on my parents stack-up record player
in the Florida room late at night when everbody went to bed. Me and my
imagination spent many-a perverted night with that saucy Aussie.
Then I got in with the wrong crowd and learned about Stevie Nicks, grew long
hair, smoked dope, got a tattoo and the rest is history.

Ah yes, nice voice, lot's of warmth and complex harmonics among other
attributes.

Agreed. I owned Brick Road for a time.

I heard them.

All those tunes were on the soundtrack?

This town's hockey folk've been making a ruckus recently as you can
imagine. I've gotten an earful when caught downtown on my rollerblades.
Maybe we'll have another riot this year.

I must know it by ear and should see if I can take a listen from online.
Not what I'd call embarrassing, but I found The Byrds' 'Eight Miles
High' recently and play it fairly often. In a sense, it's new to me, but
was often in the background.

I still listen to Levon every now and then, EJ's last *real* song.
When my son was very young he was taking classical piano lessons and I paid
dearly for private tutoring for him to learn a few early EJ songs.

Sound clip here......I warned ya!

Chevy Van - Sammy Johns
----------------------------
I gave a girl a ride in my wagon
She crawled in and took control
She was tired 'cause her mind was a-draggin'
I said, get some sleep and dream of rock and roll
'Cause like a princess she was layin' there
Moonlight dancin' off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me
Her young face was like that of an angel
Her long legs were tanned and brown
Better keep your eyes on the road, son
Better slow this vehicle down
'Cause like a princess she was layin' there
Moonlight dancin' off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
We made love in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me
I put her out in a town that was so small
You could throw a rock from end to end
A dirt-road main street, she walked off in bare feet
It's a shame I won't be passin' through again
'Cause like a princess she was layin' there
Moonlight dancin' off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
We made love in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me
'Cause like a princess she was layin' there
Moonlight dancin' off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
We made love in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me

I thought about that one for a while, and I can see Bob's point.
Harpsichord, dulcimer, Elizabethan pretensions....
Speaking of which, and Fairport Convention fans out there?

You will all HATE me for my contribution because this song will ring

You will all HATE me for my contribution because this song will ring
in your head for the next 3 days. Interestingly, I can tell you the
song without any words whatsover:
8 6 7 5 3 O 9
On a telephone it sounds a bit like Gershwin's "But Not For Me". How
embarassing!

Ron, I have an idea to locate and upload as many 'embarrassing tunes'
(so keep 'em coming) as my site will allow for anyone to take a listen.
So stay tuned, and your files (ideally, mp3) cued.
