Name That Tune: Classic Rock Lyrics --- One Toke Over the Line

[Ky Fried Redleg]

I’ll give one a try

I went home with the waitress, the way I always do
How was I to know, she was with the Russians, too?

Now who else would write lyrics like that? lol

One of my favorites by Warren. Warren's son and Dylan's son covering the classic:

[Cahill]

Ok, let me try:
Her number always turns up in your pocket, whenever you are looking for a dime.

Christine’s Tune - Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Brothers

Hey, Mother Earth
Won't ya bring me back down
Safely to the sea?
But 'round and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me

Have at it, folks!

Hey, Mother Earth
Won't ya bring me back down
Safely to the sea?
But 'round and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me

Have at it, folks!

Spaceman, Harry Nillson

next one:

Some night I still sleep on the beach
Remember when the stars were in reach
Then I wander in early to work
Spend the day licking boots for my perks

This is The Who from Quadrophenia. Bell Boy (maybe?) Not entirely certain of the song title.

[Cahill]

Bingo, Betterread. You must be as old as me.

[Roy Tucker]

My old sig line is from this.

As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, "Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?"

What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding. Elvis Costello (or Nick Lowe).

Nick says he made much much more money in royalties from this song than all the other great songs he wrote put together. Why ? Because it was sung by some guy named Curtis Stigers in the movie The Bodyguard. Go figure.

You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC

The Back in Black album was so revered among my peers we used biblical notation for the song lines. What you've got there is BiB 7:11-14.

Just don't quote the first line of Highway to Hell beacuse the "N" word is clearly in there!

And just to correct a couple of errors. "I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right, I'll never forget the sound that night" - - I don't know who this J. Frank character is but the correct answer is Pearl Jam and the great Eddie Vedder.

And " Sitting in the classroom, thinking it's a drag , listening to the teacher rap, just ain't my bag. The noon bells rings, you know that's my cue. I'm gonna meet the boys on floor number two!" is Motley Crue, obviously.

You guys are welcome for the corrections - except Roy. I can't correct Roy or RFS62 because they are old. Like Moses old. Respect Roy!

You are to good at this, yes it is Bell Boy

Huh? I just relistened to the song and didn't hear any such thing, nor I do I recall ever hearing such a thing. Is there some story behind this, am I just missing something?

edit: OK, i looked up the backstory and after listening to it again, its hard to tell for sure what he said, but I can't unhear it regardless.

Haha - yeah, once someone plants it in your head it's all you can hear. "Season ticket on a one way ride"

Let's try another one

Take me across the water cause I need someplace to hide
I done the ranchers daughter and I sure did hurt his pride
