Human without the bean Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Maybe some clues will jog the ol' memories. This artist had a couple of other well known hits, not to mention he was part of another popular duo band. But you know he'll always keep moving You know he's never gonna stop moving 'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone And when you wake up, it's a new morning The sun is shining, it's a new morning And your going, your going home That other duo band was ~Steelers Wheel~.

Human without the bean Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Again, I thought it was pumped a lot of pane (as in petrol) down in New Orleans. It would make sense.

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Late 90's song. It was a hit on both radio and video. A little more:
And all her friends tell her
She's so pretty
But she's be a whole lot prettier
If she smiled once in a while
`Cause even her smile
Looks like a frown
She's seen her share of devils
