Name the song the line is from Part II

Surrender Dorothy!
Over the Rainbow. A Classic.

Ooh dat dress so scandalous
And ya know another nigga couldn't handle it
See ya shakin that thang like who's da ish
With a look in ya eye so devilish

Uh
Ya like to dance at all the hip hop spots
And ya cruise to the crews like connect da dots
Not just urban she likes the pop
Cuz she was livin la vida loca

[BRIDGE]
She had dumps like a truck truck truck
Thighs like what what what
Baby move your butt butt butt
Uh.....

Kidding... that's the Thong Song




People around every corner
They seem to smile and say
We don't care what your name is boy
We'll never turn you away



Whew! Glad you were just kidding about that Thong Song. Where DO you hear these things??

Your, um, "other" song is Ferry Cross The Mersey, by (I think) Gerry and The Pacemakers.


And now, from 1974:

Ain't it good, ain't it right
That you are with me here tonight



More lines:

Ain't it good, ain't it right
That you are with me here tonight
The music playin'
Our bodies swayin' in time

Touching you, so warm and tender
Lord, I feel such a sweet surrender
Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine



#1 song (US) in 1974.

Canadian artist of Lebanese descent, whose stage name was derived from his real name, which was Andrew Youakim.

I remember that one, Jim. It’s “Rock Me Gently” by Andy Kim (I believe).

I like a local sandwich named for this song from 1969:

Ducks and pigs and chickens call,
animal carpet wall to wall
American ladies five-foot tall in blue.


Good one! That would be Marrakesh Express, by CSN. I almost did that song a few days back, but decided to do Southern Cross first, and put Marrakesh Express on the to-do list.

That must be one interesting sandwich, by the way.


This was from 1981:

Tonight's the night we'll make history
Honey, you and I
And I'll take any risk
To tie back the hands of time

Hi Jim

Wow - Ferry? Fitzgerald? I still play them.

This one -

Best of Times - Styx

*********** NEW ***********

Here is a hot oldie -

Everyone's beneath the trees, feeding pigeons on a limb,

I don’t know about “Interesting”, but it sure is yummy. It is hot pastrami with jack cheese, tomato slices and alfalfa sprouts inside a pita pocket with something they call “Secret Goo”. I think the secret is that they mix a little something into mayonnaise.

Hi Tony,

You have one good song there. It’s “The Mighty Quinn”.

BTW, how was your trip? I haven’t been watching the TR forum. Did you write one?

Here’s a little 1966:

I walk in shadows, searching for light.
Cold and alone, No comfort in sight.


Well, THAT'S a classic, for sure. What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted, by Jimmy Ruffin. I loved that song!


More 60s:

Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call




(C'mon, Tony. Spill the beans, buddy. You have to at least tell us what you thought of Rod's show. )

I like a few hip newish songs- I dancing in my living roon- the Thong Song rocks!
and John, my casino hubby (Eminem) plays HIS music on the way to AC

Go ask Alice, I think she'll know

White Rabbit!/ Jefferson Airplane played front to Donovan- my first concert at 13.

I was down in Savannah Eat n' Cream and Bannanas
When the heat just made me faint
I began to get crosseyed I thought I was lost ...
I began to see things as they ain't..
Hi All,

I just loved that song when I was a little kid. It’s “Jug Band Music” by the Lovin’ Spoonful. It’s still a lot of fun.
