Looking for some Freeper musical help - I have a song that I can't recall the title or group from the late 80s early 90s. It is basically a list of cities sung very rapidly one after another. I know there at least two other songs that used a similar technique of stringing words together to a rhythm - one was in I believe the early sixties and the other in the later 90s. I have always been terrible with music titles and group names so looking to see if any FRiends can help me out on a Friday night. Thanks in advance.
There is a special Hell where that song is played over and over its for Child Molesters and people who talk in the theater...
“MUSKRAT LOVE - The Captain and Tennille - perhaps the greatest song ever.”
Tell me you’ve been drinking! ;-)
“life is a Highway’?
The one you remember from the early 60’s could be “I’ve Been Everywhere”
Can’t help you on the 90’s song
“Life During Wartime” The Talking Heads?
Heart of Rock n Roll. Huey Lewis and the News.
Maintenant, écoutez comme Petula Clark chante une chanson à partir de 1961!
Hank Snow, Johnny Cash, Asleep at the Wheel had versions of I’ve Been Everywhere.
It was originally an Australian song, but American songsters converted the Aussie town names to American town names.
Good to know I'm not the only Firefly fan here. /johnny
