  1. Crazy Horses ~ The Osmonds is, according to songfacts, about air pollution: Crazy horses Crazy horses Crazy horses Crazy horses Crazy horses Crazy horses There's a message floatin' through the air. About crazy horses ridin' everywhere. It's a warning that's on every tongue. Gotta stop them crazy horses on the run. There they go, what a show Smokin' up the sky, yeah. Crazy horses all got riders, And they're you and I. Crazy horses Crazy horses They never stop and they never die. They just keep on goin' how they multiply. Crazy horses, they never halt They just keep on goin' and it's all our fault. There they go, what a show Smokin' up the sky, yeah. Crazy horses got their riders, And they're you and I.

  3. I think lyrics are more important than music. A song may have a great groove going, but if the lyrics are complete crap, I won't like the song. Instrumentals are great but then if the all music was instrumental, we wouldn't be having this discussion now would we? Also, if songs have great words but the instrumentation is bad, I won't like the song. I agree with rayzor, songs that have great words AND music are the best. Another example using a more modern song is Sir Paul's Only Mama Knows LYRICS: Well I was found in the transit lounge Of a dirty airport town What was I doing on the road to ruin Well my mama laid me down My mama laid me down Round my hand was a plastic band With a picture of my face I was crying, left to die in This God forsaken place This God forsaken place Only mama knows why she laid me down In this God forsaken town Where she was running to what she ran from Though I always wondered I never knew Only mama knows Only mama knows I’m passing through I’m on my way I’m on the road no ETA. I’m passing through no fixed abode And that is why I need to try To hold on I’ve gotta hold on gotta hold on Was it planned as a one night stand Or did she leave in disgrace Well I never will I ever see my father’s face see my father’s face Only mama knows why she laid me down In this God forsaken town Where she was running to what she ran from Though I always wondered I never knew Only mama knows Only mama knows Only mama knows why she laid me down In this God forsaken town Where she was running to what she ran from Though I always wondered I never knew Only mama knows Only mama knows I’ve gotta hold on I’ve gotta hold on you’ve gotta hold on MUSIC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp_kQmJLDZw (take a listen!)

  4. Too Many People by Paul & Linda McCartney is about John: Too many people going underground, Too many reaching for a piece of cake. Too many people pulled and pushed around, Too many waiting for that lucky break. That was your first mistake, You took your lucky break and broke it in two. Now what can be done for you? You broke it in two. Too many people sharing party lines, Too many people never sleep in late. Too many people paying parking fines, Too many hungry people losing weight. That was your first mistake, You took your lucky break and broke it in two. Now what can be done for you? You broke it in two. Too many people preaching practices, Don't let 'em tell you what you wanna be. Too many people holding back, This is crazy, and baby, it's not like me. That was your last mistake, I find my love awake and waiting to be. Now what can be done for you? She's waiting for me Let Me Roll It by Paul McCartney and Wings was a responce to "How do you Sleep?": You gave me something, I understand, You gave me loving in the palm of my hand I can't tell you how I feel My heart is like a wheel Let me roll it Let me roll it to you Let me roll it Let me roll it to you I want to tell you And now's the time I want to tell you that You're going to be mine I can't tell you how I feel My heart is like a wheel. Let me roll it Let me roll it to you Let me roll it Let me roll it to you (Whimper) George Harrison's "All Those Years Ago" is about John Lennon: I'm shouting all about love While they treated you like a dog When you were the one who had made it so clear All those years ago I'm talking all about how to give They don't act with much honesty But you point the way to the truth when you say "All you need is love" Living with good and bad I always looked up to you Now we're left cold and sad By someone, the devil's best friend Someone who offended all We're living in a bad dream They've forgotten all about mankind And you were the one they backed up to the wall All those years ago You were the one who imagined it all All those years ago.. (All those years ago) (All those years ago) Deep in the darkest night I send out a prayer to you Now in the world of light Where the spirit free of lies And all else that we despised They've forgotten all about God He's the only reason we exist Yet you were the one that they said was so weird All those years ago You said it all though not many had ears All those years ago You had control of our smiles and our tears All those years ago.. All those years ago ... All those years ago ... All those years ago ...

  8. I liked it from when I got it out from the library. I liked the new version of "Heroes and Villians!
  9. What do you think of my review?
  10. Paul McCartney~Memory Almost Full (2007) 1.Dance Tonight 2.Ever Present Past 3.See Your Sunshine 4.Only Mama Knows 5.You Tell Me 6.Mr. Bellamy 7.Gratitude 8.Vintage Clothes 9.That Was Me 10.Feet in the Clouds 11.House of Wax 12.The End of the end 13.Nod Your Head I picked this gem at a Starbucks in Germantown, MD for $16 and I don't regret it! "Dance Tonight" has a folk feel with Paul's mandolin, and I went "Whoa!" when the Semi-distorted guitar of "Ever Present Past" kicks in. The album flows almost seamlessly! The riffs of Ever Present Past end, and the "Doo-doo..." of the love song to HEATHER, (written in 2003) "See Your Sunshine" comes in. This album is SOOO good. When the opening strings of "Only Mama Knows" come in you're kinda expecting a slow, sad song. That's not the case. "Only Mama Knows" is a hard-rocking story of a child who was abandoned in the "transit lounge of a dirty airport town." The guitars are awesome and there are strings at the end, too. That song screams "SINGLE!" at me. "You Tell Me," ehhh. Paul's falsetto is kinda bad. I don't like it."Mr. Bellamy" is a great story-song of a person who is wanted to come down from somewhere to a person. I think that person is suicidal. The piano riff is very awesome and the vocal seems to pop in and pot on the riff. The Coda has a few horns and a person softly singing Come down, come down , come down to me." "Gratitude" has a gospel feel and is Ok. Would've been better with some guitar. Vintage Clothes is a nice little ditty about how what's out is in again. I like it. In "That was Me," Paul recalls is child hood in a acoustic rocker. "Feet in the Clouds." I love that song. It has great piano and great lyrics. The guitar solo on "House of Wax" is awesome! The whole 5:00 song is great too! Here is where Paul gets really sentimental. "The End of the End" is where Paul tells us about dying and such. All of a sudden, i what woul've been a perfect ending, "Nod Your Head" comes in with it's rocking guitar. I like the song but, I don't like it's placement on the album. All in all, I LOVE THIS ALBUM!! If you love the Beatles or want to get some solo albums, get this, "Band on the Run," and "All things Must Pass." Also get this if you're a hardcore Paul fan. 9/10.
  11. The shortest song on my iTunes playlist is Miracle Cure~The Who, clocking in at a whopping 0:12! Her Majesty~The Beatles is 0:27. There are a few more songs from "Tommy" that are short.(The longest "short" one is 0:38)
  12. So You Want to be a Rock n roll star~The Byrds
  13. 1996 Macarena~Los del Rio
  14. 1990-U Can't Touch This~MC Hammer
  15. Not bad. I kinda like the folk-ish sound. 8/10. Walkie Talkie Man~Steriogram PS. "Maybe Tomorrow" was when Badfinger were still The Iveys.
  16. dislike Listening to vinyl records
  17. That's it! Thank you! What's with them using the "I feel Fine" riff? Is it the line "it sounds like John , Paul and george?
  18. Is the first video Tom Petty's "Runnin' Down a dream? (clicky)
  19. On the radio, I remember hearing a song that I think used the "I Feel Fine" riff. I can remember a few lyrics: Chorus: Don't call us, We'll call you... verse: I got your name from a friend a of a friend, said he used to work with you. It kinda has a funk feel, the "we'll call you" is sung high and sounds synthesized. Thanks.
  20. My favorite year isn't here! 1966 ROCKED: Revolver, Pet Sounds, A Quick One, and Aftermath! 4 awesome albums!
  21. Walkie Talkie Man~Steriogram
  22. Nice picture of The Fab four(I think!) 10/10
  23. In Junior's Farm, my mom thought Paul was singing "You shoulda seen me with the polka band" instead of "You shoulda seen me with the poker man." The second line makes more sense out of it: "I had a hunny* and I bet a grand." *100
  24. I disagree with #4 on that list. "Hey Jude" is one of the few Paul songs I don't like. That ending part is just stupid and long just stupid and long. Switch it out with #66 and we're good to go!
