who remembers Blinded By the Light by Mansford Earth Band? Am i showing my age?

Oh, I hear that song now in my head!

Yes, and I like the song

We're old - and now we're all running thru the song.

Patsy

American Pie, remember all the verses?

I have the albums

That thought made me choke!

The Lyrics to the song.. :-6 :-6

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce,

another runner in the night

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce,

another runner in the night

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce,

another runner in the night

Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer

with a teenage diplomat

In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps

his way into his hat

With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped

the merry-go-round

With the stereo pleasin' and sneezin' and wheezin, the calliope crashed

to the ground

The calliope crashed to the ground

Oh she was...

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another

runner in the night

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another

runner in the night

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another

runner in the night

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce,

another runner in the night

Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I got what

it takes

She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong, play the

song with the funky break"

And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather charts to see

if it was safe outside

And little Early-birdy came by in his curly-wurly and asked me

if I needed a ride

Asked me if I needed a ride

Oh she was...

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another

runner in the night

Blinded by the light,

She got down but she never got tired

She's gonna make it through the night

She's gonna make it through the night

------ guitar solo ------

But mama, that's where the fun is

But mama, that's where the fun is

Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun

But mama, that's where the fun is

Some brimstone baritone Andy Sack from rolling stone preacher

from the east

Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,

that's where they expect it least"

And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,

watching the young girls dance

And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone,

reminding him of romance

The calliope crashed to the ground

Cos she was...

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another

runner in the night

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another

runner in the night[/QUOTE]

Oh wow! You've just given me a flashback to my youth!!



I used to go to under 18's disco's at the local nightclub (French Connection - how sauve is that) and dance the night away in my toned down new romantic clothes. (couldn't be a full blown nr as I grew up in Cornwall and would have stood out like a turd on the tablecloth!!)



What about Tainted Love by Soft Cell, my 11 year old daughter listens to that now on an 'oldies' cd!!

well don't feel too bad. Tombstone, Acc, Cars, and Unc grew up listening to Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller.

This song was of course written by Bruce Springsteen and opens his debut album, "Greetings From Asbury Park"

I remember all the songs you guys talked about. I love the music from the 70s and 80s!

But I always hated that damn Manfred Mann song

I remember guys and gals and songs that I won't mention cuz I don no your songs and that is definitely telling my age.

How about some of those *horrible* songs, like

"Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks

"Let's Get Physical" by Olivia Newton-John

"Billy Don't Be a Hero" by ??



Let's talk about the AWFUL music too! It's more fun

Watch it Wolfie there is nothing better to dance to then the Big Band sounds of the Duke and Glen Miller..

"Billy Don't Be a Hero" by Paper Lace ...so I'm told...ahem

I remember when i was about 16 going to the local nightclub and at the end they'd always play Dexys midnight runners -- come on eileen, everyone would start jumping round and stamping their feet like proper head cases :-5 Obviously i wasn't one of them :sneaky:

I think it was actually Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods (yup, I'm a plethora of useless information )

Paper Lace did another bad song called "The Night Chicago Died"

Remember that one?

It iss the park down in L.A., a very scarey park to be at when it is night time.

No decade has ever produced better music than the '70's....despite Muskrat Love.
