Name that Tune

It's not the "Cisco Kid" by ~War~ or "Slow Ride" by  Foghat.  It's a funk band song, I think. It's like you stopped time WordWolf.  I can't come up with any other lines other than those you left.  Uncle.  Oh wait a minute, I got it.  It is a funk band, that band is ~War~ and the song is "Low Ryder".  It finally clicked after I realized it was a ~War~ song.  Minus Eric Burton of course.

Hey woman, you got the blues
Yes you ain't got no one else to use
There's an open road that leads nowhere
So just make some miles between here and there

There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha ha woman, it's a crying shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame

Okay then, no bites to me means move on.

That song was ~ELO~ Evil Woman

A clue to this next song and I think players may need one is that tune (Evil Woman) has something in common with this next song.

He loves your sexy body, he loves your dirty mind
He loves when you hold him, grab him from behind
Oh, baby, you're such a pretty thing
I can't wait to introduce you to the other members of my gang

You don't need no wax job, you're smooth enough for me
If you need your oil changed, I'll do it for you free
Oh, baby, the pleasure'd be all mine
If you let me drive your pickup truck
And park it where the sun don't shine  
*Hint:  Part of the song title is in the lyrics.

I used it before but nobody got it, so name the group and win the round.

I don't think I'm going to get it this time, either.

George

I know.  I think my clue was pretty vague too.  The band singer from ELO was also in the group with the current song.  Name a band member of this group and win the round.

Not a very familiar song to someone who may not be a fan of their music.  So moving on then the clue I was using is the lead singer from ~ELO~ Electric Light Orchestra, Jeff Lynne, also played in the band along side George Harrison, Tom Earl Petty, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison, otherwise known as ~The Traveling Wilbury's~.  The song was Dirty World.

New song, not an elusive one.

Well, have you seen that girl in the corner?
I'd like to take her out of her chains
'Cause if I have my way with you, baby
I would be changin' your life today

That's Jeff Lynne, who joined the Traveling Wilburys after ELO.  This song was off "Volume One". I remember that because it's the only song that mentions "trembling wilburys" in it. "He loves your trembling wilburys."  

The rest of the Wilburys are easier to remember- Roy Orbison (sang on 2 songs, then died), Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and George Harrison.    They released 2 albums. The first was called "Volume One" and the second was called "Volume Three."  Some people wracked their brains trying to figure out what album qualified as the missing volume 2.  "That was just George being George."     Yeah, I got it instantly, some people didn't get it at all.

Sheesh, didn't even get 24 hours to answer this one?

WordWolf you're still up.

Actually, now that I went back a few posts, it looks like I posted a tune that has not yet been solved. 

New song, not an elusive one.

Let's forget it and just keep going now.   I don't have a clue what the tune is WordWolf.

"Paradise was closed so they headed for the coast in a blissful manner.
They took a two-room apartment that was jumping every night of the week.
Happiness was found in each other's arms as expected, yeah. Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh!"

 

"Billy wrote a letter back home to Patti's parents trying to explain.
He said: "We're both real sorry that it had to turn out this way.
But there ain't no point in talking  when there's nobody listening, so we just ran away.
Patti gave birth to a ten-pound baby boy, yeah." "

Sometimes I think life is just a rodeo
The trick is to ride and make it to the bell
But there is a place, sweet as you will ever know
In music and love, and things you never tell
You see it in their face, secrets on the telephone
And time out of time, for you and no one else

If I had my way, I'd shuffle off to Buffalo
Sit by the lake, and watch the world go by
Ladies in the sun, listenin' to the radio
Like flowers on the sand, the rainbow in my mind

There is no other lyrics left to give without the title in them.

She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

 

She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
It was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun

*looks it up* I've never heard this song.  I've heard of this band, but I'm only familiar with one of their songs.

So what!  Everybody has different tastes in music.  If you don't know it just wait for next round.
