What an interesting concept...

Tie Your Mother Down - 1976
Song by Queen

 

[JBoy1952]

Anyone remember

LOL...another karaoke fav of mine. So many of their songs were fun to sing...
Lots of memories in that song...although some still even before my time. Our garage when growing up always had flypaper hanging...I wore penny loafers when I was a kid...smoked Lucky Strikes stolen by a friend from his parents (unfiltered Camels from mine) when we were "cool kids"...high school friend drove a Studebaker originally owned by his Dad...plus other memories

Just to make sure Statler Bros songs were available during any karaoke night, I carried my own Statler Bros karaoke CD...all of their songs on the CD in Statler Bros style. But...alas...I haven't done karaoke since before Covid and my home karaoke setup doesn't get much use.

I do love this song, always have.

And the idea of tying someone else's mother down... could be much fun.... but it says "tie your mother down"... um.... ewwwww!

Fortunately, I still do. I've never liked karaoke though, probably because I can't hold a tune... I sing better without music, so says Mrs Rj

Suddenly... I really need to hear the absolutely tasty bass work of Bob Babbitt. He was such a total monster and had a groove people fell in there and have never been found to this day. And they're good with that.

Stevie Wonder - Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)

 

[BrendaBear]

More Bob... because.. yeah... so cool!

The Temptations - Ball of Confusion

 

[BrendaBear]

OMG! I can just loose myself in the killer bass work from Mr Babbitt.... sooooo goood!!!!

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - The Tears Of A Clown

 

[BrendaBear]

More Bob.... because... yeah....

Jim Croce - I Got a Name

 

[BrendaBear]

More from the master...

Freda Payne - Band Of Gold

 

[BrendaBear]

Okay... I'll stop for a while... but Mr Bob Babbitt? We salute you.

Marvin Gaye - Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)

Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) (1999 Remaster)
Song by The Hollies

 

[Rj_1954]

There should be a song "Mr Picasso is a pain in the Butt"

 

[BrendaBear]

I'm sure you have thought worse about me... I don't blame you. I'm even a pain in my own ass.

 

[BrendaBear]

RJ made me think of this song.... and it's kind of out there for here, but kind of cool too.

And when it came out... I remember reading an interview where Robert talked about playing the track for Jimmy Page... who wanted to know "what's all that rubbish at the end?" Oh how wonderful life was, before people decided it was morally just fine to rip off other peoples performances and call it "sampling"


Robert Plant - Tall Cool One

 

[Rj_1954]

I'm sure you have thought worse about me... I don't blame you. I'm even a pain in my own ass.

Noooo. Never...well maybe a little. NO...don't make me say things...

 

[BrendaBear]

Oh great... now my fiendish brain is thinking about wonderfully funny things I want to make you say....

Shania Twain - Any Man Of Mine

(just sayin)

Who is that? I've never heard of them. You clearly need to listen to 10 hours of Wolfman Jack as penance. Or buy me a drink over in Mr T's...

 

[BrendaBear]

Let's get some more really killer bass work going here!!!

Grand Funk Railroad - Closer To Home (I'm Your Captain)

 

[TANSTAAFL58]

Hi all. I haven't been around much lately, but, well...

My grandson asks challenging questions. Today at the dinner table he asked "what's your favourite John Lennon song?

Ok, hands up if you just automatically say "Imagine"...that's ok. Its a great song.

Me? "Julia". Technically a Beatles song, but its all John.

Oh? Just another Rock / Pop song about a woman. Maybelline, Eleanor Rigby, Gloria, Lola, Angie, Brandy, Mandy, Layla, Rhiannon, Peggy Sue, Josie, Rhonda, Melissa, Maggie May, Lucille (at least twice)...

Except: Julia is Julia Lennon, John's mother who died in 1958. She gave hm his first guitar and encouraged his music. And, she is a bona fide Rock and Roll Woman (Yeah, I know Buffalo Springfield)...

Any way, "Julia"

BTW: Its credited as McCartney and Lennon, but John acknowledged that he had help from Donovan (Jennifer Juniper) because he wanted it to be almost a child's song...

Did you ever have a chance to see  LOVE in Las Vegas? We saw it in 8/2023 when we (me and three other Lit ladies) met in Vegas. It was amazing. I had never known about Lennon's mother until then.

Sadly no. Sounds like a great show.
