Oh man? For me it's gotta be......

Neil Young

The Needle and the Damage Done

Harry Belafonte

Don't Stop The Carnival

Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour

The best part of the song kicks in at 1:34 quickly leading to the demise/cancelation of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.

"Smothers Brothers"


I watched them through the years. My favorite is George Carlin. I also loved the big chuck and little john show.

As a kid, my favorites were "Wake up little Suzy", "Unchained Melody", and Sheb Wooley's "Purple People Eater" (duh ).

Songs that I must listen to when they come on now: "Here Comes the Hotstepper", "It Wasn't Me", "Boombastic", probably a half dozen different songs by ABBA, most anything by Buddy Holly, "Sabotage", "Intergalactic", "Bring the Noise", "I've Got the Power", "Jesus Built My Hotrod", "Head Like a Hole"

You just named all my favorite songs you just left out angel by shaggy.

Shaggy - Angel ft. Rayvon



Nine Inch Nails - Head Like A Hole

Great call on Angel!
The lyrics remind me of another childhood favorite: Juice Newton's "Angel of the Morning"

Also gotta add "Let's Groove" because I just heard it.

I recently watched Boehemian Rhapsody .. and forgot how talented Mercury was w/the vocals. Great songs

Green Day - When I Come Around



Stone Sour - Through Glass



Stone Temple Pilots - Creep

Evanescence - My Immortal



Flo Rida - My House

The Notorious B.I.G. (feat. Bone Thugz-N-Harmony) - Notorious Thugs



Boyz N The Hood - Eazy E

The Rolling Stones.........Live, Altamont 1969

Under My Thumb

Tragically remembered as the concert where a concertgoer was stabbed to death 20-30 feet from the stage by a Hells Angel.

The vid doesn't show it but shows him being dragged off camera by an HA.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Meredith_Hunter

Meredith Curly Hunter, Jr. (October 24, 1951 – December 6, 1969) was an 18-year-old African American who was killed at the 1969 Altamont Free Concert. During the performance by The Rolling Stones, Hunter approached the stage, and was violently driven off by members of the Hells Angels motorcycle club who had been contracted to serve as security guards. He subsequently returned to the stage area, drew a revolver, and was stabbed and beaten to death by Hells Angel Alan Passaro.

The incident was caught on camera and became a central scene in the documentary Gimme Shelter. Passaro was charged with murder. After an eight-man, four-woman jury deliberated for 12 and a half hours, following 17 days of testimony, Passaro was acquitted on grounds of self-defense.

Since you mentioned that song, one of the best covers of a stones song IMO is by a late-70s, early 80s Canadian band named Streetheart.

I don't think they recorded a studio version of Under My Thumb, it was from a live album they recorded. I prefer it to the original (don't hate me).

If you feel like it, check that cover out.

They also did a decent cover of a Small Faces tune (a band that I liked), but I can't remember the name of the cover offhand.

This one?

It isn’t a favorite, but I heard this song about three days ago and I can’t get it out of my head:

Summer in the City

Always sort of liked Lovin' Spoonful. John Sebastian wrote some other good stuff as well.

The Lovin' Spoonful - Summer In The City

Neil Young - Heart of Gold

Hot town, summer in the city, back a my neck gettin dirt and gritty.

Been down, isn't it a pity. Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city.

Thanks! There it is

Thanks for making it stick ... again

KT Tunstall - Black Horse And The Cherry Tree



Nelly Furtado - Turn Off The Light

Cool! Thanks for taking the trouble, dawg. You're on my good list. The version that was in my head is from the late 70s, lol.

I think songs were better before computers were everywhere.

'been down" not bend down, man I so often get lyrics wrong.

is it,

Dirty Deeds, Thun der Chief!

or is it,

Dirty Deeds, done dirt cheap!

also,

is it, ..\

You make me feel like a nat ur al Woman,

When for over 20 years I was sure it was saying

You make me feel like a Man Should A Woman,

The name of the song is dirty deeds done dirt cheap - it might even be the album title - so yeah , those are probably the lyrics.

And here I thought it was "Dirty jeans dungarees. Dirty jeans and they're dungarees".

Love it! Haven't heard the term "dungarees" since grandma and grandpa, both born in the very early 1900's, were alive.

I used to do my own parodies of songs. I always thought that AC/DC was a terrible band so this is one that I came up with.

Maggie May?

"Wake u Maggie I think I got something all over you!"

I have quite a few of them but some won't pass the board rules.

Now we need a thread for 'misheard lyrics.'

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

"Blinded by the light; wrapped up like a douche...."

Haha yes

'Scuse me, while I kiss the sky"

That's what Hendrix sang

False.
Little-known fact: Hendrix was gay. Those lyrics are actually:

"'scuse me, while I kiss this guy..."
