Name that tune - Rock on! | Tennessee Valley Talks

_Joy_Old Faithful

Well, hope you don't mind, Blues Man, but after seen all the rock heads (haha, just kidding) in an undisclosed news thread, I thought I'd start one of these for rock music...any flavor...soft rock, Southern Rock (woohoo), heavy metal, rockabilly, grunge, alternative, hard rock, etc. Rock on!

Here's the best song ever made of course:

"Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers"

Boston - Long time

(Pssst...Earlier I was thinking of the Allman Brothers' Midnight Rider. But I'll take Seger, too...

)

Here's another one that's a bit more funky...

"Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip..."

Boston, "Long Time"

This one is a harder one (I think)

"Remember me to one who lives there..."

Nah. Not if you're into Simon & Garfunkel!

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine....

That would be Scarborough Fair.

See above for the last one I threw out. If nobody gets it, I'll try another one.

Okay, well, the earlier line is still up for grabs, but here's another one...

"It was twenty years ago today..."

Cool. I'll have to tell my husband that. He loves the Beatles - who doesn't, right? Anybody know this one?........

"Baby Ruth."
My favorite version was recorded by Delbert McClinton in our neck of the woods.

Here's one --
"I found some hid out giftwrapped alligator shoes."

Ahhh! tdreader, give us another line, or maybe two? I even cheated & searched for it...can't find it.

I will just tell you so the game can go on.

"Solid Gold Plated Fool", one of the best songs you never heard. It was on Delbert McClinton's Honky Tonkin' album, and Joe El Sonier also recorded it.

I think you guys are getting the "country" name that tune thread mixed up with the "rock" name that tune thread...my bad for calling it something similar. No prob, it's all good.

This is a 80s rock song:

"You've been hiding, never letting it show..."

Joy,

Delbert's actually quite a rocker, despite the album title.
