Greatest Song Lines

[Fudbutter]

"Standin' on a corner by my old high school,
I let this female call me a fool
I got on my knees and begged to the sun
And I knew that my manhood had begun
Boogie on, electric boogie, boogie on
Embrace your brother, dance in the mud
Like a Palamino stud
Come along hold my hand."

Marc Bolan, T. Rex, "Raw Ramp".

Well, you're windy and wild
You've got the blues in your shoes and your stockings
You're windy and wild, oh yeah
Well you're built like a car
You've got a hubcap diamond star halo
You're dirty, sweet and you're my girl

Did you know that Rick Wakeman, Ian McDonald and Flo & Eddie (the two Turtles guys) all were on the orignal recording of Bang a Gong? Which, by the way is a fun song to do for Open Mics real slow and bluesy on acoustic or keys

"And when I'm sad, I slide".

Yeah, I did know about those folks being on "Bang a Gong". Flo & Eddie's vocals added so much to Marc and Tony Visconti's arrangements and overall vibe.

@Fudbutter Talking about Volman and Kaylan got me thinking about Zappa. They added a bunch of additional madness to The Mothers as well.

"And she said, with a tear in her eye
Watch out where the huskies go,
And don't you eat that yellow snow
Watch out where the huskies go,
And don't you eat that yellow snow"

Frank Zappa, "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow".

gotta love it !

"Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho"?

and of course,

"Girl, you thought he was a man, but he was a muffin ..."

LMFAO! "Sears poncho" is/was a belly laugh. That guy is missed. Maybe the greatest American composer, who most folks don't comprehend.

"I don't wanna touch you too much, baby
'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No".

Def Leppard, "Love Bites".
