For years and years since about 1971, I've been listening to "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart. Well, not every minute of these past 49 years but at least 500 times I've heard that song either on the radio or from my music collection.
Not even my favorite Rod Stewart song but I've heard it probably the most out of the Rod Stewart songs on account of it being so popular and all. ("In A Broken Dream" is my favorite Rod Stewart song and he recorded it with a band that called themselves Python Lee Jackson).
So anyway, I've heard the song a bunch of times. And there is a verse in that song that I always heard like this:
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of frying food
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
At least, that's the way I always heard it. But thanks to the Internet, I happened to look at the lyrics tonight and saw that the lyrics referred to "playing pool" and not "frying food"
Then I go to listen to the song again and I still hear "frying food" instead of "playing pool."
You should give it a listen for yourselves. I'm sticking with frying food - I don't care what the lyrics say. I think they call that a mondegreen.
Besides, Rod Stewart looks a little like Gordon Ramsay. I think they call that a doppelganger. So I say frying food - not playing pool.
You think Rod and Ron have the same hairstylist?
Mandolin
Talk about range, he played Sid Vicious AND Churchill.
Try again:
I’m in the hi-fidelity
First class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Most people forget he and Ronnie Wood was with Beck. Then Steve Marriott left the Small Faces to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton. That’s when Ronnie & Rod joined the Faces.
Rock & Roll!
The drug fueled cop in the Professional was also wicked.
Don’t let your son go down on me.
I also loved this song:
The Young Rascals - A Beautiful Morning
But they had several great songs. 8>)
My personal example,
“Stand beside her
And guide her
Through the night
With the light
From a bulb” (!)
I was about 11-yo before I discovered I was wrong!
So you can stir your food from a distance and not get hot grease splashed on you.
Free - Alright Now.
Let’s Move before they raise the Parking Rate, or was it the F’ing Rent?
And look who played on Beck’s Bolero: Beck, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, John Paul Jones, and Nicky Hopkins.
I thought it was “playing fool”.
thought maybe his dad was a comedian of sorts.
Correction, the 2nd song is by The Rascals, not The Young Rascals. 8>)
It’s sad that apparently Marriott and Frampton were about to do a project together when Marriott died in that fire.
Cue: a thing said or done that serves as a signal to an actor or other performer to enter or to begin their speech or performance.
LOL
Hold me closer Tony Danza,
Count the head lice on the highway.
Maybe the ‘cue’ should be ‘queue’.
It’s a mandolin.
Like a Mandolin Wind.
