Oh -- Epic Records -- was it "The Big Black Hat"? Remember Nick Teen and Al K. Hall?

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day, when I thought I'd lay myself down to rest in a big field of tall grass. I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face. And I fell asleep and dreamed. I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie and that I was the star of the movie. This really blew my mind, the fact that me, an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome should be the star of a Hollywood movie. But there I was. I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings. I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world in front of every kind of girl--there was black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones. Out of the middle came a lady. She whispered in my ear something crazy. She said. . . .

I look at you and see the passion eyes of May. Speaking of May.
I've translated Maggie May into two languages. Once translated they stop being "stuck" songs. But only if the melody is perfect. I'm interested in melodies, or what most of you call tune.

Straight'nin' the curve,
Flat'nin' the hills.
Someday the moutain might get 'em, but the law never will.
Makin' their way,
The only way they know how,
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow.
Just good ol' boys,
Wouldn't change if they could,
Fightin' the system like a true modern day Robin Hood..

Winnah again!
I don't remember A1 K. Hall. Nick Teen rings a bell.
My two favorite one hit wonders of all time:
Merilee Rush
? and the Mysterians
I've seen them both in concert.
I have more songs going around in my head than I can count. They're making me... uh... Happy!

Well, to bed with me. After two nights of this delightful nonsense, I don't have songs running through my head any more - he voices are too loud and they drown them out.
I'll try to catch back up tomorrow. Night all!
To: Charles Henrickson
After all this build up, I don't know -- is this "Spill The Wine"?

Yes. I was in an "Eric" kind of mood: Eric Carmen's "All By Myself," Eric Burdon (and War)'s "Spill the Wine."

Great concert finds!! Especially ? and the Mysterians. Although they did have some other minor hits like "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby." I once saw The Critters ("Mr. Dieingly Sad" and "The Younger Girl") in concert and also The Music Machine ("Talk Talk"). Just two years ago I saw The Soul Survivors in NYC -- they sounded great!!

Well, if we weren't neurotic when this thread started, we most certainly are now.
Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss.
The cars keep going faster all the time.
Bums still cry 'Hey buddy, have you got a dime?'
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on.
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain.
La de da de dee,
La de da de daa.
