LS 12-3-07…………………………………….1975
1975 is one of my favorite years for music, so here you go...
1. I did a two-step quick-step and a bossa nova
A little Victor Sylvester, and a Rudy Valentino
2. Well, a-giddy-up, a-giddy-up, get away
We’re goin’ crazy, and we’re goin’ today, here we go-oh!
3. Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed
All the kangaroos
4. Greasy, slicked-down body
Groovy leather trim
I like the way you hold the road
Mama, it ain't no sin
5. What's that man movin' cross the stage?
It looks a lot like the one used by Jimmy Page
Its like a relic from a different age
6. Twelve forty-five
Headed for the subway home
I took my time
'Cause I felt so all alone
7. And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
8. Got your lady on the line
Got your name on the cover
Though your friends are ninety-nine
Honey you ain't got no lover
9. Now if you get a flu attack
For 30 days you`re on your back
10. Well, let her be somebody else’s queen
I don’t want to know about it

It was also a good year to be born. Now let's see if the #1 song from the day I was born is in here (I doubt it is, but that may be a good thing....)

I've heard Bruce Springsteen do this on a bootleg or two. I'm pretty sure he didn't do it in 1975, though. I think the song's called "Rockin' All Over the World" - I think I can hear Creedence singing it in my mind.traininvain wrote:2. Well, a-giddy-up, a-giddy-up, get away

Never was particularly good with recognizing lyrics.
Now if the choices from 1975 had included:
Boot heels a' shufflin' on the dance floor sand
Drink a little, think a little, shoot a little pool
Hittin' on the cuties right outta high school
Sixteen may get ya twenty, that's all right
Well then, I might have known that one!

I like when I have to think and it tortures me and I laugh when I see just how wrong I was, especially when I know the song. I certainly don't play to win or for glory or adulation (as if).

Scoring will have to wait until later tonight, as I am backed up with work, but I figured that I'd post the answers....
LS 12-3-07…………………………………….1975
1975 is one of my favorite years for music, so here you go...
1. I did a two-step quick-step and a bossa nova
A little Victor Sylvester, and a Rudy Valentino
#9 Long Tall Glasses – Leo Sayer
Always loved playing this one at the bar.
2. Well, a-giddy-up, a-giddy-up, get away
We’re goin’ crazy, and we’re goin’ today, here we go-oh!
#27 Rockin’ All Over the World – John Fogerty
Great song from Fogerty's second album. IIRC Status Quo opened Live Aid in 1985 with this song, and one of the idiot VJ's said it was a CCR song. I can forgive a layman for getting it wrong, but a professional...oh nevermind.
3. Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed
All the kangaroos
#37 Black Friday – Steely Dan
I love Steely Dan, and any song with the mention of kangaroos has to be good.
4. Greasy, slicked-down body
Groovy leather trim
I like the way you hold the road
Mama, it ain't no sin
#38 Trampled Under Foot – Led Zeppelin
I thought more people than just one would have gotten this one just with the last line of the song. The title of this one is always a toughie though
5. What's that man movin' cross the stage?
It looks a lot like the one used by Jimmy Page
Its like a relic from a different age
#12 Venus And Mars/Rock Show – Paul McCartney & Wings
I really never knew what the lyrics were to this one, I used it because it mentioned Jimmy Page.
6. Twelve forty-five
Headed for the subway home
I took my time
'Cause I felt so all alone
#5 Games People Play – The Spinners
My sister always played groups like The Spinners, Tavares & EW&F. I always love the baritone (or is it bass) in this song.
7. And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
#2 I’m Not In Love – 10cc
Mini, how can you not like this song? Unless the Rick Springfield or Donny Osmond versions have poisoned you? I read that there are some 256 vocal dubs on this track, great song on matter what Mini says.
8. Got your lady on the line
Got your name on the cover
Though your friends are ninety-nine
Honey you ain't got no lover
#16 I’m On Fire – Dwight Twilley
No one came up with this one, but I'm sure that you'd know it if you heard it. One of the great singles from the 70's
9. Now if you get a flu attack
For 30 days you`re on your back
#10 It Only Takes a Minute – Tavares
See #6
10. Well, let her be somebody else’s queen
I don’t want to know about it
#4 Bad Time – Grand Funk Railroad
This was a favorite of one of the barteners when I DJ'd, The Jayhawks do a nice version of it too. It's hard to believe that once upon a time Grand Funk was one of the biggest bands in the world
I was fairly lenient on the scoring, since it was the first game and all...

LS 12-3-07…………………………………….1975
1975 is one of my favorite years for music, so here you go...
1. I did a two-step quick-step and a bossa nova
A little Victor Sylvester, and a Rudy Valentino
#9 Long Tall Glasses – Leo Sayer
Always loved playing this one at the bar.
2. Well, a-giddy-up, a-giddy-up, get away
We’re goin’ crazy, and we’re goin’ today, here we go-oh!
#27 Rockin’ All Over the World – John Fogerty
Great song from Fogerty's second album. IIRC Status Quo opened Live Aid in 1985 with this song, and one of the idiot VJ's said it was a CCR song. I can forgive a layman for getting it wrong, but a professional...oh nevermind.
3. Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed
All the kangaroos
#37 Black Friday – Steely Dan
I love Steely Dan, and any song with the mention of kangaroos has to be good.
4. Greasy, slicked-down body
Groovy leather trim
I like the way you hold the road
Mama, it ain't no sin
#38 Trampled Under Foot – Led Zeppelin
I thought more people than just one would have gotten this one just with the last line of the song. The title of this one is always a toughie though
5. What's that man movin' cross the stage?
It looks a lot like the one used by Jimmy Page
Its like a relic from a different age
#12 Venus And Mars/Rock Show – Paul McCartney & Wings
I really never knew what the lyrics were to this one, I used it because it mentioned Jimmy Page.
6. Twelve forty-five
Headed for the subway home
I took my time
'Cause I felt so all alone
#5 Games People Play – The Spinners
My sister always played groups like The Spinners, Tavares & EW&F. I always love the baritone (or is it bass) in this song.
7. And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
#2 I’m Not In Love – 10cc
Mini, how can you not like this song? Unless the Rick Springfield or Donny Osmond versions have poisoned you? I read that there are some 256 vocal dubs on this track, great song on matter what Mini says.
8. Got your lady on the line
Got your name on the cover
Though your friends are ninety-nine
Honey you ain't got no lover
#16 I’m On Fire – Dwight Twilley
No one came up with this one, but I'm sure that you'd know it if you heard it. One of the great singles from the 70's
9. Now if you get a flu attack
For 30 days you`re on your back
#10 It Only Takes a Minute – Tavares
See #6
10. Well, let her be somebody else’s queen
I don’t want to know about it
