NAME THAT ROCK or ROLL SONG


Recommended Posts

I think this will be an easy one. Of course, I've thought that before. Just heard it tonight on the way> home.

And time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin'.

Sail on, on a distant highway

Sail on, on a distant highway

I've got to keep on chasing a dream

I've got to be on my way

Wish there was something I could say

Well I'm taking my time, I'm just moving along

You'll forget about me after I've been gone

And I take what I find, I don't want no more

It's just outside of your front door

This is what I get for thinking that huh? I've really never been much of ~Boston~ fan but this one was called Foreplay / Long Time. Most people probably know it just as Long Time.

Anyone got one go ahead.

Here's an oldie:

I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up,

I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight.

George

It sounded like ~Bill Haley and The Comets~ to me, but I wasn't aware of it's name Rip It Up. I kind of guessed it by randomly selecting American Bandstand videos, and that's the first one i tried.

"Tutti Frutti"

"Do you believe in rock and roll? Can music save your mortal soul? Can you teach me how to dance real slow?"

Don Mac Lean's "American Pie."

"We were at the beach. Everybody had matching towels.

Somebody went under a dock. And there they saw a rock."

But it wasn't a rock..."

Ok, this was the B-52's "Rock Lobster."

"I got the rockin' pneumonia,I need a shot of rhythm and blues.

I think I'm rollin' arthritis sittin' down by the rhythm review."

At first glance this looked liked ~johnny rivers~ rockin pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu but that's not it.

You got more lines wordwolf?

More lines don't necessarily fit the category, but ok.

"Well gonna write a little letter,gonna mail it to my local D.J.

It's a rocking little record I want my jockey to play."

"I got the rockin' pneumonia,I need a shot of rhythm and blues.

I think I'm rollin' arthritis sittin' down by the rhythm review."

"We're rockin' in two by two."

I'll be out of touch for a few days.

If you're sure you have it, answer then move on.

Ah-aaaaaah, yeah

Take me in your arms and rock me

Ah-aaaaaah, yeah

Take me in your arms and rock me

George

It reminds me of a couple different songs George. Neither of them are right I'm sure.

More......please.

That one guitar felt good in his hands

Didn't take long, to understand

Just one guitar, slung way down low

Was his one way ticket, on way to go

So he started rockin'

Ain't never gonna stop

Gotta keep on rockin'

Some day he's gonna make it to the top

It's from "The Guys from Another Country"

and it's called "Nickelodeon Champion."

Or something like that.

Yes the group is Foreigner. Is the Nickelodeon Champion thing a pun I should be getting WordWolf? I'm not getting it.

"Put another nickel in, in the Nickelodeon. All I want is loving you and music, music, music!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music!_Music!_Music!

"The Nickelodeon mentioned in the song is obviously a coin-operated music maker — player piano, jukebox, or radio — and "Nickelodeon" is usually capitalized in the printed lyrics as though it were being used as a brand name. However there is no prior record of "Nickelodeon" being used as a brand or common name for any coin-operated device, and the trademark owner was a chain of silent movie theaters that operated from 1905 to 1915. All uses of "nickelodeon" to refer to a jukebox appear to trace directly to this song."

For the pedantic, actual "nickelodeons" were tiny 5-cent movie theaters,

and never any coin-operated devices like the Kinetoscope or mutoscope.

After the song, the meanings all got blurred.

So, yeah, "Guys From Another Country" could work as a band name, don't you think?
