Name That Tune

LarryC · April 2006

So as not to hijack the Whirlwinds post about time and the meaning thereof, I thought I'd start a fresh one.

"Pedals to the floor hear those two quads drink.
Now the 413's really starting to shrink."

Parabeagle · April 2006

Radar Love?

Whirlwind · April 2006

Wild guess: Convoy?

A fuelie Corvette Stingray racing a Dodge 413 with dual quads and in the end the Corvette wins. I'll take mine bright red, please.

Whirlwind · April 2006

Well, at least I knew it was in the general area of transportation.

ray a · April 2006

Here's another one for you, Larry.

Little deuce coupe, you don't know
you don't know what I got
Well, I'm not braggin', babe,
so don't put me down.

Parabeagle · April 2006

But I got the fastest set of wheels in town.

'Little Deuce Coupe" The Beach Boys

'Cause if I had a set of wings, man, I know she could fly.

(I have this on my iPod right now.)

She's ported and relieved,
and she's stroked and bored,
she'll do a hundred and forty
in the top end floored.

Whirlwind · April 2006

She’s got a competition clutch with the four on the floor,
And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar.
And if that ain’t enough to make you flip your lid,
There’s one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy

HRinNH · April 2006

And comin' off the line when the light turns green
Well she blows 'em outta the water like you never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears

Dutch2 · April 2006

Beep - Beep.... Beep - Beep
How to you get this thing outta second gear?

LarryC · April 2006

The Playmates. They were a former comedy group out of Canada.

ray a · April 2006

I had a video tape from about 10 years ago of an a capella concert on TV and there was a male quartet that sang these lyrics. I can still hear them singing the beep-beeps. But, I can't place the song.

LarryC · April 2006

Ray, it was Beep Beep by the Playmates. Weren't you listening?

OK, here you go:

On that ship I dream she there.
I smell the rose in her hair.
See Jamaica moon above.
It won't be long I see me love.
I'll take her in my arms and then,
I'll tell her that I'll never leave again.

Whirlwind · April 2006

Louie Louie -- The Kingsmen.

LarryC · April 2006

Very good, Whirlwind. And the Indiana Governor thought the lyrics were dirty.

Whirlwind · April 2006

If you get a chance, check out the song "The Ballad of the Kingsmen" by Todd Snider -- you can google it. It's a talking song with a musical chorus that starts out being about the public reaction to Louie Louie and then goes all over the place. A cool song with a very hooky chorus.

System · April 2006

You mean someone actually understood what the guy was saying in Louie Louie? xflash

LarryC · April 2006

James, the original version by Richard (not Chuck) Berry is much easier to decipher.

Paul in Cannon Beach · April 2006

I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

Whirlwind · April 2006

"Like A Virgin" -- Madonna

Paul in Cannon Beach · April 2006

Good job. I think that song is possibly the most ironic song of all time.

SMace · May 2006

Wan' tell you a story,
'bout a woman I know.
When it comes to lovin',
She steals the show.
She aint exactly pretty,
she aint exactly small.
42-39-56,
you could say she's got it all.

Anyone?

Parabeagle · May 2006

Not a single clue.

HRinNH · May 2006

Me neither. But when I searched for the lyrics on-line there appeared an interesting photo with breasts and rose petals. Guess we know which of Rosie's parts 'steals the show'. 8-|

SMace · May 2006

It is about Rosie. Not the name of the song, though. I still need a band also.

Whirlwind · May 2006

Given the measurements, I thought it was "Baby Got Back", but no, the lyrics didn't check out.

Parabeagle · May 2006

Here's one that I'm guessing not many of would get:

There's somethin' happenin' here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Tellin' me I got to beware.

Think it's time we stopped, children,
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'round.

Tony Kessler · May 2006

Buffalo Springfield? Also, was it "goin' down" instead of "goin' round"? tk

Paul in Cannon Beach · May 2006

Ray, even a youngster like me recognized that one. I think it was on the "Platoon" soundtrack. Great soundtrack by the way.

So, did anyone get Smace's song?

Here is one of my all time favorites:

The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they’ve done to you
But I’ll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They’ll fall to ruin one day
For making us part

I found a picture of you
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
