Name That Tune
This seemed to be a hit on another forum so we'll try it here on this dud of a day after Thanksgiving. It may not get much play today with lots of folks away for the holiday. May not get much play at all; however, if you would like to stay in touch with your Rock 'n Roll roots you might enjoy playing along.
Now this is Rock 'N Roll Lyrics, y'all. Lyrics from "The Pilgrims'Chorus" from Richard Wagner's "Tannhäuser" won't cut it, nor will lyrics from "Your Cheatin' Heart" by Hank Williams. Christmas carol lyrics need not apply either and the less said about Rap the better. Start different threads for other musical genres.
I will start it with some Rock 'n Roll lyrics and you guess who it is and then add your own Rock 'N Roll Lyrics for others to guess.
*Extra credit for also naming artist and album
Here goes ...
"Well you're windy and wild You've got the blues in your shoes and your stockings You're windy and wild, oh yeah Well you're built like a car You've got a hub cap diamond star halo You're dirty sweet and you're my girl"

That "didn't take long or hurt much."
You can add new lyrics for us to guess, 4-2-go.

OOOooo...that's a fairly dark song but, considering the artist, Neil Young, is fairly typical. "Down By the River"
Don't know the original album. I have it on a greatest hits compilation album two-vinyl set, called "Decade."
"I don't want to sound complaining But you know there's always rain in my heart I do all the pleasing with you, it's so hard to reason With you, whoa yeah, why do you make me blue?"

Stand Back, Stevie Nicks?
Shammy cleaning all the windows Singing songs about Edith Piaf's soul And i hear blue strains of no regredior Across the street from Cathedral Notre Dame.

Stevie Nix - Stand Back
I look at you and my blood boils hot, I feel my temperature rise I want it all, give me what you got, there's hunger in your eyes I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe You know the way to give me what I need Just let me love you and you'll never leave

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality.

Funny you should say that, Happy. Played some ZZ Top albums lately. Enjoyable for a while but but a bit limited as a group. A live show attended on an occasion was fun but they really weren't so hot. This was in the late 1970s.
