Good Morning All,

I’m surprised to see this still up. I was sure that at least two of our regulars know this one.

I’m sure these few more lines will do it:

No, no, no, no, no, ooh ooh
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Edited to remove repeated words

I believe that this was ELO - Don't Bring Me Down.

Sorry guys, haven't had much chance to logon for the past few days.

Pinball Wizard, by the Who? (For anyone wondering about the meaning, I think there's just a simple typo there. His disciples lead him in -- because he's blind. )



Let's try:

Darkness fills my room, I'm only dreamin'

I do believe that’s “Nice to be with you” by Gallery.

Here’s one from 1970:

I love you for who you are
Not the one you feel you need to be

Yep - that was indeed a typo
Heading out to the Coast - back Monday

Everybody Is A Star, by Sly & the Family Stone. Good one!


Early 80s here:

Out on the floor, he shuffles his feet away


(Have a good trip, Tony! )

More lines:


There's a bar right across the street
He's got a need he just can't beat
Out on the floor, he shuffles his feet away
He'll get the girl 'cause he looks so fine
He's gonna win her everytime
He knows he will, he's dressed to kill


Aussie band. A #6 hit in the US in 1981.

Good Morning All,

I like that one, Jim. It ‘s “The Night Owl” by Little River Band.


This went to #2 in 1986:

Ain't to proud to sleep on the floor tonight

I think that's R.O.C.K. In The USA, by John (Cougar?) Mellencamp.


The original recording of this song was a #5 US hit in the early 60s. It's been covered many times, including a fairly popular 70s version in the US, and a 1995 version that hit #1 on the UK charts:

At night the stars put on a show for free

Yes they do, Jim. “Up on the roof” that is. I like that one.

Here’s some late 70s:

It don't really matter to me, baby
You believe what you want to believe
