The New 1970s Lyrics Game

Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale come on,
Come on, give a listen

Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice

Ramblin' Gamblin' Man - Bob Seger during his "System" days


From this time in '84


You go back to tschool it's a bad situation
Whay you need is
Oh yeah       

Adult Education - Hall & Oates


Natural born woman
Natural born soul sender
Come here about midnight, yeah! yeah!

Gloria - Van Morrison, but I always liked the Shadows of the Night version.

Well, take me down where cool water flow yeh
Let me remember things I love

Well, take me down where cool water flow yeh
Let me remember things I love

Green River - CCR

Very cool song!

Spent my money, took my car,
Started tellin' her friend she' goin' be a star.
I don't know, but I've been told
A Big legged woman ain't got no soul


Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, ah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, ah

Yeah, here comes it now...

Slip - Found that Dubinsky photoshop/gif on hfboards.com. Fans there make a yearly thread during the playoffs where they create humorous creations of players, coaches or anything related to the NHL. Doughty's face and Boudreau and Hitchcock's weight seem to be popular, haha. If you have some time on your hands and want some chuckles check it out.

Do You Know What I Mean - Lee Michaels


Yeah keep your eyes on the road
And your hands upon the wheel    

Yeah keep your eyes on the road
And your hands upon the wheel   

Roadhouse Blues  --  The Doors


I think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away       

Ticket to Ride - The Beatles

Let's change the theme now if that's okay.

The moon is melting in the blazing sky
I hear the flames sing, but I don't know why
I hope that only shadows see me "cry" (for you) 

 Critics slaughtered this artist unfairly imo.



 

Modern Music - Be Bop Deluxe. If you're thinking of doing a "cry" theme, we've been down that road before. But you mentioned it would be "okay" to change the theme, so we can try okay as a theme.


I'm a---- and I'm okay
I sleep all night and I work all day

I'm a---- and I'm okay
I sleep all night and I work all day

The Lumberjack Song  --  Monty Python


Things are okay with me these days
Got a good job, got a good office
I got a new wife, got a new life
And the family is fine       

Scenes From An Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel


I go to parties sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different I haven't changed

Life's Been Good - Joe Walsh

This song was just used on the yeah theme

If that's the way it must be okay
I guess I'll go on home, it's late 

If that's the way it must be okay
I guess I'll go on home, it's late

Pretty Woman  --  Roy Orbison and covered by Van Halen


You stared at me till your eyeballs smoked
Was it anger or love or the caffeine in your coke?
I searched my soul for the words to soothe you
But nothing that I did ever seemed to move you      

I'm Not Okay  --  My Chemical Romance


These lyrics were somehow skipped a few posts back:

You stared at me till your eyeballs smoked
Was it anger or love or the caffeine in your coke?
I searched my soul for the words to soothe you
But nothing that I did ever seemed to move you

Are You Okay - Was Not Was

Sorry about that, Cobra.
I got so caught up with Slip's been laid woman I completely forgot to answer your lyrics.

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok

A Big legged woman ain't got no soul  ??


I gotta comment on this one. I checked around and to my amasement those are the only printed lyrics that I was able to find. I suspect that this is another example of what I will call "Ed Sullivan Censorship". Remember when the Rolling Stones were on Ed Sullivan and he forced them to change the song from "Let's Spend The Night Together" to Lets Spend Some Time Together ? I believe this is similiar. I believe that the censors made Led Zep change the printed lyrics from what is actually sung. Think about it. Does, "A Big legged woman ain't got no soul" make any sense ? The lyric that I always heard and makes more sense to me is:

"A being laid woman ain't got no soul."


What do you think ??

"A being laid woman ain't got no soul."

You've got a very good point there, Slip.
It DOES sound like he could be saying that and apparently you have some company because I found it on a couple of those misheard lyric sites where they also thought what you thought.
Kissthisguy.com has a lot of good ones.

Don't know for sure what Plant is saying there but I always heard it as "big legged" but your version makes more sense.

Next song:
And I think it's gonna be okay

Well, it's startin' to feet good again
You and me
Startin'to feel real good lady
Just the way it used to be

Well, it's startin' to feet good again
You and me
Startin'to feel real good lady
Just the way it used to be


Shinin' Brightly - Bob Seger


I am pretty sure these guys weren't a band in the 70's, in fact they might not have been alive in the 70's. But, atleast I have heard of them:


Well if you wanted honesty
That's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go
It's better off this way
For all the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when you broke your foot
From jumping out the second floor
