Tales of Brave Ulysses by Cream You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever, But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun. And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids, And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses, How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing, For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white-laced lips. And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise, And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea. And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body, Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind. The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers, And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter. Her name is Aphrodite, and she rides a crimson shell, And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands With tales of brave Ulysses, how his naked ears were tortured By the sirens sweetly singing. The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers, And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.

Simply love this song.

Thought Petty put on a pretty good show for Petty. However, his songs really don't bring the kind of energy I want at the Super Bowl. But he sounded damned good.

If we're going to bring Alice Cooper into the mix, I have to recommend How You Gonna see Me Now? Dear darling, surprised to hear from me? Bet you're sitting drinking coffee, Yawning sleepily. Just to let you know I'm gonna be home soon. I'm kinda awkward and afraid. Time has changed your point of view. How you gonna see me now? Please don't see me ugly, babe, 'Cause I know I let you down In, oh, so many ways. How you gonna see me now Since we've been on our own? Are you gonna love the man When the man gets home? Listen, darling, now I'm heading for the west. Straightened out my head, But my old heart is still a mess. Yes, I'm worried honey. Guess that's natural though. It's like I'm waiting for a welcome sign Like a hobo in the snow. How you gonna see me now? Please, don't see me ugly, babe, 'Cause I know I let you down In, oh, so many ways. How you gonna see me now Since we've been on our own? Are you gonna love the man When the man gets home? And just like the first time, We're just strangers again. I might have grown out of style In the place I've been. And just like the first time, I'll be shaking inside. When I walk in the door, There'll be no place to hide. How you gonna see me now? Please, dont see me ugly, babe, 'Cause I feel like I let you down In, oh, so many ways.

Lucky, Most certainly from the midwest, and I have most of these songs in a collection of KSHE classics from the vaunted St. Louis radio station. Btw, Pampered Menial by Pavlov's Dog (which contains "Julia") is sitting on my desk at home.

For John Mellencamp's "Lonely Ol' Night, I submitted the following:

I assume a "point" is a percentage of profits, but I might be wrong.

I always wondered how it worked. Talk about abuse of the little guy. Wow!

"If You Know What I Mean" by Neil Diamond When the night returns just like a friend, When the evening comes to set me free, When the quiet hours that wait beyond the day make Peaceful sounds in me. Took a drag from my last cigarette, Took a drink from a glass of old wine, I closed my eyes, and I could make it real and Feel it one more time. Can you hear it, babe? Can you hear it, babe? From another time, From another place, Do you remember it, babe? When the radio played like a carnival tune As we lay in our bed in the other room, When we gave it away for the sake of a dream In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean. Here's to the songs we used to sing And here's to the times we used to know. It's hard to hold them in our arms again but Hard to let them go. Do you hear it, babe? Do you hear it, babe? It was another time; It was another place. Do you remember it, babe? When the radio played like a carnival tune As we lay in our bed in the other room, When we gave it away for the sake of a dream In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean.

"Living on a Thin Line" doesn't get nearly enough airplay.

Someone mentioned Tommy Bolin's "Post Toastee," which is wonderful. Some of my favorite obscure songs: Never Met a Dog--Vinegar Joe--Robert Palmer on vocals, and it makes no sense at all, but it's a smooth tune! Every Step of the Way--Steve Walsh--Kansas's lead singer on his own. Schemer Dreamer a tough album to find. Hey, St. Peter--Flash & the Pan--Great tune that would sound fresh even today. Blue Mist--Mama's Pride--A regional band out of St. Louis, the Pride had a great little tune with this one. Roll the Dice--Couchois--Just something a little funky and a little cool about this song. Hollywood--Shooting Star--Another regional band, this one out of Kansas City, that never really got its due. "Hollywood" is a phenomenal track.
