This is a tough one. I love music so much that I just make up in my mind what the song is about. Some videos are way out there and some seem to go with the song. I prefer just to listen. I can put on headphones and get lost in music. That's just me!

Darling Nikki
Prince
Cool Tune from Prince!!
Lyrics for: Darling Nikki
I knew a girl named nikki
I guess u could say she was a sex fiend
I met her in a hotel lobby
Masturbating with a magazine
She said how?d u like 2 waste some time
And I could not resist when I saw little nikki grind
She took me 2 her castle
And I just couldn?t believe my eyes
She had so many devices
Everything that money could buy
She said sign your name on the dotted line
The lights went out
And nikki started 2 grind
Nikki
The castle started spinning
Or maybe it was my brain
I can?t tell u what she did 2 me
But my body will never be the same
Her lovin? will kick your behind
Oh, she?ll show u no mercy
But she?ll sho?nuff sho?nuff show u how 2 grind
Darlin? nikki
Woke up the next morning
Nikki wasn?t there
I looked all over and all I found
Was a phone unmber on the stairs
It said thank u 4 a funky time
Call me up whenever u want 2 grind
Oh, nikki, ohhhh
Come back nikki, come back
Your dirty little prince
Wanna grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind
{backwards at the end...}
Hello, how r u? I?m fine. ?cause I know
That the lord is coming soon, coming, coming soon.

EJ and the band really rock out at the end of that one too...the whole album is classic.
Which brings me another one for this thread...
Sweet Painted Lady....no subtle nuances in those lyrics.
Dirty Little Girl from the same album may qualify too.
Definatley....especially Sweet Painted Lady...can't believe I forgot those...I just have Alice in my head!! Good catch there RJ!!

All the Young Girls Love Alice
Goodbye Yellowbrick Road Album
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double barrel name in the back of her brain
And a simple case of Mummy-doesn't-love-me blues
Reality it seems was just a dream
She couldn't get it on with the boys on the scene
But what do you expect from a chick who's just sixteen
And hey, hey, hey, you know what I mean
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice it's my turn today
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice they say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me
Wait till my husband's away
Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart
It's like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part
Getting your kicks in another girl's bed
And it was only last Tuesday they found you in the subway dead
And who could you call your friends down in Soho
One or two middle-aged dykes in a Go-Go
And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo
And hey, hey, hey, oh don't you know

A set of Beatles lyrics handwritten by John Lennon on the back of a phone bill failed to sell at aution. The draft of I'M ONLY SLEEPING had been expected to sell for at least $350,000, but failed to reach its reserve price at Christie's auction house on Wednesday. The song was on the band's 1966 REVOLVER album. Meanwhile, a never broadcast recording made by a journalist during Lennon and Yoko's 1969 "bed-in" for peace in Montreal fetched $32,000 and a rare LP cover of THE WHITE ALBUM sold for $16,000, 3 times its presasle estimate.
Ok I would have bought the lyrics!! Come on, it's from a Beatle!!

Well no one says it better than Keith and if I was in the press I would not mess with him. You go get 'em Keith!!!

Former Traffic memeber Steve Winwood said it's time to release THE LAST GREAT TRAFFIC JAM, the legendary group's first ever live DVD. Winwood said.. "Traffic was going to tour in Ocbover of '04, but because of Jim Capaldi's untimely ilness and then death, we weren't able to do that...we felt this DVD is a very fitting tribute to Jim"
Ok now my list of music DVD's and albums to buy is so growing!!

Rock Star INXS was a huge success and the producers are looking for the next band to help find a new lead singer for...scratch QUEEN off the list! In a post on his website, guitarist Brian May emphatically wrote: "Ha! Apparently they are voting on us being in the next show?? HA! HA! Can you imagine? I don't think so! So don't bother voting for us folks! I mean, really!!"
Way to go Brian May!!

COLUMBIA RECORDS TO RELEASE HISTORIC 'BORN TO RUN 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION' ON NOVEMBER 15
BOX SET WILL INCLUDE THREE SEPARATE DISCS INCLUDING A STUNNING DVD OF THE LEGENDARY 1975 HAMMERSMITH ODEON CONCERT; A DVD OF "WINGS FOR WHEELS: THE MAKING OF BORN TO RUN," WITH NEVER BEFORE SEEN ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE AND NEW INTERVIEWS WITH ALL THE BAND MEMBERS AND MANY OTHERS; AND A CD OF THE BRILLIANTLY REMASTERED 'BORN TO RUN'
Columbia Records will release the 'Born To Run 30th Anniversary Edition' box set on November 15. Personally supervised by Bruce Springsteen and Jon Landau, the box set includes "Hammersmith Odeon, London '75," an astonishing film of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's legendary 1975 concert at the Hammersmith Odeon in London; the new film "Wings For Wheels: The Making of Born To Run;" the classic album in remastered CD form; and finally, a 48 page booklet of previously unpublished photographs. With its two DVDs, the package offers approximately four hours of previously unseen footage.
"I believe that the combination of the great 1975 concert footage, the brilliant documentary of the making of the album and the dazzling remastering of 'Born to Run' add up to a nearly perfect storm of Bruce's music," said longtime manager Jon Landau.
Spanning roughly two hours and ten minutes, the November 18, 1975 concert at London's Hammersmith Odeon finds an epic performance of sixteen Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band classics, including "Thunder Road," "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out," "Jungleland," and "Born To Run," as well as such other favorites such as "Kitty's Back" and "Rosalita." The multiple-camera film of the complete concert will be available in its entirety and its original sequence, as newly edited by Emmy Award Winner Thom Zimny. "Hammersmith Odeon, London '75" is the only full-length concert film ever released of Bruce and the E Street Band's first 25 years.
Zimny's production team painstakingly cleaned the original negatives and digitally restored the footage, ultimately presenting this indispensable concert in vibrant color and detail. Producer Bob Clearmountain remastered and remixed the DVD in both stereo and 5.1 surround sound. Zimny has worked with Springsteen on several projects, including editing the Emmy-winning "Live in New York," the quadruple-platinum certified, Emmy-nominated "Live in Barcelona" and the "VH1 Storytellers" films. Clearmountain is the legendary mixer who has often collaborated with Springsteen over the last twenty- five years, most famously on 'Born in the USA.'
The ninety-minute documentary "Wings For Wheels: The Making of Born To Run" chronicles the definitive story of the creation of 'Born To Run,' from songwriting to production and beyond. "Wings For Wheels" boasts archival film never shown publicly, including substantial footage of Springsteen and the E Street Band recording the album, 1975 concert film and other footage shot between 1973 and 1975. The film also features exclusive footage of Springsteen playing solo piano and guitar versions of songs from 'Born To Run.'
In addition, "Wings For Wheels" incorporates newly filmed interviews with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, including former members who played on the album, as well as the production team. In newly shot footage from Asbury Park, NJ, Springsteen discusses his personal feelings about the making of the iconic album in great depth; the footage with Springsteen includes the musician reflecting on outtakes and unreleased tracks from the album for the first time since 1975. The DVD of "Wings For Wheels: The Making of Born to Run" ends with stunning bonus footage of three songs recorded live at Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theater in 1973: "Spirit In The Night," "Wild Billy's Circus Story" and " Thundercrack."
Finally, the box set will feature a CD of the newly remastered 'Born To Run,' as well as a remarkable 48-page photo album of previously unpublished photographs with an introduction written by Springsteen. This is the first time Springsteen has allowed any of his catalogue to be fully remastered and he enlisted his longtime mastering guru Bob Ludwig to handle the job. The newly remastered version presents the masterpiece with striking clarity and presence. Widely regarded as one of the cornerstone albums in rock and roll history, 'Born To Run' has been recognized by many international polls as one of the greatest albums of all time. It has sold nearly nine million albums worldwide. Of 'Born To Run,' which was originally released August 25, 1975, Rolling Stone wrote, "It is a magnificent album that pays off on every bet ever placed on him-and it should crack his future wide open."

Wow getting a lot of response from this...which is great. I want to make it clear that yes lyrics are what I am into but you can have cool music with crap lyrics and for me that blows. I need great music and cool lyrics. And no they don't have to be all that poetic, but need to touch my soul just as the music does. And 9 times out of 10 good lyrics have good music. And that goes for rockin out kick azz rock too!
-
Ok we had this discussion here at the radio station...what hooks you on a song? For me it is the lyrics...the first thing I do when I buy a new album is read the liner notes and the lyrics if printed. And if there is a song with cool lyrics and not a hit from the album I will listen. My boss here at the stations says it's the music, he said the lyrics can make no sense as far as he is concerned as long as the music is cool. This may be a little on the strange topic side but what is it that makes a song for you??
-
I've seen so many concerts and at the time I would always say this is the best!! Well...that changes, I have seen some that just stick with me all the time...
Bruce - 5 times
Don Henley - Inside Job Tour
lost it when he sang Wasted Time
Southside Johnny - 3 times
Tom Petty - 3 hours of standing and rockin'!
Those ones pop into my head right away. But I love the others too. I can't imagine life without concerts!!
:guitar:
-
Ok back again...just had to add a little bit more. I am listening to the new album from Clapton...BACK HOME...still has what it takes!! Rock and Roll...not going anywhere and I believe we will see new groups find their rock and roll hearts!
-
Oh yes I would have paid the $15...even more. I mean look at the line up of great artists!! I was young in '69 too young to drive but if I had been older I would have travled the states hitting all the cool concerts at the time!!
-
I can't even imagine that rock and roll will fade away! I am a child of the 70's and there are still artists from the 60's & 70's making great music. The Stones...on tour selling out!! Granted most of the groups coming about lately don't make great rock and roll but don't discount the rockers that are still rockin'! And yes they may be over 40, but who says you need to be a certain age to rock?? I guess I get passionate about rock and roll since it has always been in my life and I hope to make it a part of my little girl's life.
"It's only Rock and Roll but we like it!"

If you haven't checked out Smokin' Joe, you need to if you love the blues!! This guy is awesome! He played with BB King when he was 12 and he can sing the blues like he has lived them and being only in his mid 20's that is cool. He is a great talent and a down to earth guy. I met him 2 years ago and hung out back stage and he is laid back and mellow but then on stage the energy comes out and that guitar is smokin'! Check Joe Bonamassa out. www.jbonamassa.com Enjoy!
