Come to think of it, it would have to be more recent- because he's wearing his wedding ring.
Some website, I don't remember which one, was saying that it was taken the same time as the "Chaos And Creation" album cover photo, and I noticed some similarities.
That obviously must be wrong. Plus, the headphones look too modern than what they'd have in the fifties.Odd how it's practically a google-whack when you search about it.
-
Does anyone remember the 1982 Paul McCartney "Tug Of War" album? I find its cover interesting. I heard somewhere that the picture was a family photo taken when he was 15 years old, but the credits say that the photography was by his wife, Linda. Since she didn't know him when he was 15, is the photo really taken when he was 40, like I heard somewhere else? I've done some internet searches on it, but nothing really comes up.

You could always try doing an internet search on one of those songs, be really specific. Chances are somebody else is either asking the same question or telling others how to play it. Piano keyboards can make all sorts of different instrument sounds, and there are magazines/websites devoted to replicating certain songs. You might find someone in a more specific forum that would know.
-
"(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" by The Monkees, would also be a good fit.
-
-Who's that band on the stage?
Who
-The band on the stage!
Who
-You're starting to sound like an owl, kid.
Seriously though, doesn't The Who now have Oasis' drummer with them now? That would be cool.
-
Maybe he'll sing "Cafe On The Left Bank"! (..English speaking people, drinking German beer...)
Wasn't there a post on this site a couple of months ago, saying that he was retiring from touring? I knew it wasn't true.

Paul McCartney's The End Of The End, http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=9658
George Harrison's "Stuck Inside A Cloud",
Never slept so little
Never smoked so much
Lost my concentration I could
even lose my touch
Talking to myself
Crying out loud
Only I can hear me
I'm stuck inside a cloud
I made some exhibition
I lost my will to eat
The only thing that matters to me is to
touch your lotus feet
Talking to myself
Crying out loud
Only I can hear me
I'm stuck inside a cloud
Talking to myself
Crying out loud
Only I can hear me
And i'm stuck inside a cloud
Talking to myself
Crying out loud
Only I can hear me
I'm stuck inside a cloud
Never been so crazy
But I've never felt so sure
I wish I had the answer to give
Don't even have the cure
Just talking to myself crying as we part
Knowing as you leave me
I also lose my heart
Talking to myself crying as we part
Knowing as you leave me
I also lose my heart
and Hanson's "With You In Your Dreams" are my personal favorites.
If I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't cry
And if I'm gone when you wake up
It's not goodbye
Don't look back at this time as a time
Of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams
Oh I'll be with you, oh oh
But If I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't cry
And if I'm gone when you wake up
Don't ask why
Don't look back at this time
As a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams
Oh oh
Don't cry, I'm with you
Don't cry, I'm by your side
Don't cry, I'm with you
Don't cry, I'm by your side
And though my flesh is gone, whoa
I'll still be with you at all times
And although my body's gone, oh
I'll be there to comfort you at all times
Oh oh But If I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't cry
And if I'm gone when you wake up
Don't ask why
Don't look back at this time
As a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you
I'll be with you in your dreams
Oh, I'll be with you Oh
I'll be with you in your dreams
I'll be with you
I'll be with you
I don't want you to cry and weep, oh
I want you to go on living your life
I'm not sleeping an endless sleep, oh
'Cause in your heart
You have all of our good times
Oh, all of our good times
Oh oh you have
And if I'm gone when you wake up
Don't ask why
Don't look back at this time
As a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams
Oh I'll be with you in your dreams
I'll be with you
Oh I'll be with you
I'll be with you in your dreams
I'll be with you in your dreams...

This is the website to jack FM,
http://www.jack.fm/listen/
If you click the link to your local station, it'll take you to its website, which may have a "what we just played" section. If you heard the song within 24 hours and know when you heard it, it'll tell you what it was.
The Click 5 has a song called "Say Goodnight" that's chorus is "Say Goodnight, I'll be gone tomorrow, won't you say goodnight..." that seems close to it. Was it a slow paced song with a male singer?
-
I seen them in concert last December, and I told everyone then I just had to go because it could be the last chance to see them...I guess I was right.
Because I am an "only child", I never could understand how siblings could grow to hate each other, but perhaps all this will just make them reform together better in the future?
Very sad news, nonetheless. Oasis is one of my favorite bands.
-
That article doesn't know what it's talking about. McCartney was born on June 18th, 1942, making him currently 67.
Also, I read an interview with him somewhere recently where he said he wasn't retiring.
-
You could always make videos of them somehow and post them to YouTube, or get a Myspace, Facebook, etc. account. There's also "Snowfish", which is like Myspace, but just for creative people. Last I checked it was in "beta", so they weren't letting a lot of people in yet. Here's a link anyways, http://snowfish.com/c/loggedOut/index.seam;jsessionid=A0CD66B15AB47E5AAAFB3D9B5BC55E37?cid=12655
Songfacts has a forum for creative writing, too. You could post some to that.
Good luck!

I know it isn't a new song, but perhaps it could be The Beatles' "Savoy Truffle"? The chorus says tangerine in it quite a bit.
Creme tangerine and montelimat
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle
Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle
You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through
You're going to know and how
The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You're going to shout aloud
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.
You know that what you eat you are
But what is sweet now, turns so sour
We all know Ob-La-Di-Bla-Da
But can you show me, where you are?
Creme tangerine and montelimat

Not many people realize this, but "This Time Around" by Hanson is written from the view of a solider who's saying that he/she will die for what he/she believes in.
It's getting colder
In this ditch where I lie
I'm feeling older
And I'm wondering why
I heard they told her
It was tell and live or die
I didn't know her
But I know why she lied
I didn't know her
But I know why she died
Yeah
You can't say, I didn't give it
I won't wait, another minute
On our way, this time around
Whoa yeah
You can't say, I didn't give it
I won't wait, another minute
On our way, this time around
Yeah
And we won't go down
Yeah
I heard them say that dreams
Should stay in your head
Well I feel ashamed of
The things that I've said
Put on these chains
And you can live a free life
Well I'd rather bleed
Just to know why I died
Yeah
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
Yeah
And we won't go down
Yeah
Well all I know is
That fear has got to go
This time around
This time around
Well I've started feeling
Like I don't want to fight
Give in to the giving
And put out the light
Cannons are blazin'
Shower these moonlit skies
Then I remember
And I know why he died
Do you know why I died?
Yeah
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
Yeah
Wouldn't it be nice if we all picked a song to dedicate to a veteran we know or are inspired by? I guess that would be in another thread, though. I'd personally dedicate that song to my great uncle Orbie, who was an Army photographer in the Korean War. He always says that the government censored his photographs of the wounded because they were too graphic.
-
I'm absolutely ecstatic to hear that! I adore Ben Romans and the click five and always felt they never gets the credit they deserve for their great songwriting skills. A while back, I suggested them on the "Up and coming indie bands for interview" page. I even saw them in concert once, at a mall before Kyle Patrick joined the group. They looked like they were having the time of their lives. I even made an unofficial fan website for them, but it needs updating.

I didn't realize the "1984" connection before. Now that you mention it, I think that's the inspiration of the song. I've heard that The Beatles' "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?", which McCartney wrote, was based on part of "1984", so that makes perfect sense.
Glad to see this didn't turn into another McCartney Vs. Lennon debate. Can we all just give peace a chance on that?
-
I've always like the song "Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five" by Wings, but I don't really have any idea what it could be about. I've done internet searches to no avail, but I heard rumours that it was about John Lennon somehow. Does anyone here know what it means? I noticed it doesn't have a songfacts page.
-
I've seen that same infomercial! It's for DVDs of "The Midnight Special" TV series. Here's a link to the official website for it,
http://www.midnightspecial.com/index.php?uci=ous120&s_kwcid=midnight%20special|2425798148
It's a subscription deal, the first dvd is 9.95 +3.95 shipping and they send you different ones every month.
You can also buy a specific DVD from the set from Amazon.com for slightly more money.
I personally prefer the infomercial for the sounds of a specific decade-type CD collections.
-
Could it be "Rock And Roll Part 2" by Gary Glitter?
Here's the Songfacts page for it, which has a clip on it.
http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1604
I always recognized it as the theme for the Chicago Bulls Basketball team when I was a kid and they were winning the championships.

So many good ones have already been mentioned, but I always liked the sheer ridiculousness of "Everybody Knows The Claus" by Hanson.
Don't you smell the cookies he's bakin
Can't you see that belly, it's shakin'
Don't you take a cookie off that pan
You don't want to mess with this man
You've never seen this side of him before
You know he wont be knockin' at your door
Here comes Santa Claus
Doin' all those good things
Everybody knows the Claus
Here come Santa Claus
You know he's a big man
Don't mess with the boss
Ask Rudolph and he won't steer you wrong
Now, Santa wasn't this fat all along
Until he started cookin' one day
Now don't take that turkey away
You've never seen this side of him before
You know he won't be knockin' at your door
Here comes Santa Claus
Doin' all those good things
Everybody knows the Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
You know he's a big man
Don't mess with the boss
(bridge)
Ridin' down the air highway in his sleigh
Bringing all the presents for the next day
Don't forget the donuts
His cookies and his milk are his pride
Or anything that can be deep fried
Don't get me wrong now he's a nice guy
But you don't want to get on his bad side
You've never seen this side of him, you've never seen this side of...
Here comes Santa Claus
Doin' all those things
Everybody knows the Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
You know he's a big man
Don't mess with the boss
Also, being that Christmas is a religious holiday, someone should put in something about the true origin of it. I'm not sure if it's the original version or not, but Plus One's "This Is Christmas" is my favorite one of those.
They wished upon a star
Three wise men traveled far to see
A babe who was born to be King
The dream in heaven's dreams
That made the prophets' words complete
And the angels begin to sing
They looked to the sky
Followed the light
Love's greatest gift
Had come to us that night
Can you feel the spirit in the air
Giving hope to people everywhere
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
Hallelujahs echoing tonight
Now everything will be alright
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
I know we've seen some times
When joy has been so hard to find
And life seems to take more than faith
But we dreaming heaven's dream
And finding hope within our hearts
To believe that there's more than we see
We looked to the sky
Followed the light
Love's greatest gift
Has come again tonight
Can you feel the spirit in the air
Giving hope to people everywhere
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
(Hallelujah)
Hallelujahs echoing tonight (tonight)
Now everything will be alright (be alright)
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
There's no greater gift
Than the life that you gave
All the hatred
Rearrange it
Spread all the love
Spread all the love (the love, the love, the love)
Can you feel the spirit in the air (in the air)
Giving hope to people everywhere
This is Christmas
(Hallelujah)
Hallelujahs echoing tonight (tonight)
Now everything will be alright (be alright)
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas (Christmas)
Can you feel the spirit in the air
Giving hope to people everywhere (giving hope)
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas (Christmas)
Hallelujahs echoing tonight (tonight)
Now everything will be alright (be alright)
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
Can you feel
Can you feel the spirit in the air
Giving hope to people everywhere (everywhere)
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
Hallelujahs echoing tonight (tonight)
Now everything will be alright (be alright)
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas

The Backstreet Boys' music video for "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" had a haunted house with monsters, vampire girls, rats crawling on tables, and a (sort of) twist ending. Back in the day, the music video channels would put it back in rotation every Halloween. There's two different versions, though. If the Nick Carter mummy sings, it's the extended version.
I've never seen it before, but there's probably a music video for Love&Rockets' "So Alive". I always felt the song had an eerie, Halloween feel to it.
-
It's a kid show, but the theme to Hannah Montana, "Best Of Both Worlds" made the Billboard download chart at No.92 in 2006. Does that count as a hit?
I don't know if the theme from "Bones"(2005) by the Crystal Method ever made it to a chart or not.
The theme to "House"(2004) "Teardrop" by Massive Attack was a hit in the UK years before that, but it might've been in the US download chart afterwards, for all I know.
Entertainment Weekly's website just had a discussion about what were the best TV themes. Here's a link: http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/09/tv-theme-songs.html

How about Wayne's World and Wayne's World 2. It's not about a band, but it has a lot of rock references. Like the Blues Brothers, it also came from a Saturday Night Live skit.
My personal favorite rock movie, though is "Help!". It's basically several really good music videos all tied around a silly fun plot.
On a related note, most people don't know there a book of the first Blues Brothers movie. There was a lot of stuff in it that wasn't shown in movie, like why Jake went to prison and where they stayed after the woman blew up their apartment. I actually did a high-school book report on it once.
-
Hanson's "Penny And Me" references Joe Cocker's "Feelin' Alright", Aaron Carter's "To All The Girls" mentions Outkast's "Rosa Parks", LFO's "Summer Girls" mentions New Edition's "Candy Girl", and George Harrison's "When We Was Fab" references both "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" (done by both The Beatles and Smokey Robinson & The Miracles) and Badfinger's "Baby Blue", but I can't believe no one mentioned Oasis' "Morning Glory", which references The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows"!

I'm not sure if this is the right section for this, but here goes,
Swagbucks.com is a website where you can win "swagbucks", points that are used to send for merchandise from certain bands or random things that the site itself hands out. Vintage record albums go for 45 swagbucks, but VHS movies and cassette albums have just recently been available. They show as examples of what's available as The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, but whatever they send out is random.
Does anyone else know about swagbucks? I thought if so, it would be nice to list what albums we got from there, so others would know what to expect. I previously got Steely Dan's "Aja", Kansas' "Left Overture", Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty", and Chicago's "Hot Streets". They've all been in great condition, though they're definitely used.
Here's a link to the different celebrities they have to "search with".

About five years ago, Idaho Potato's spokespud, Spuddy Buddy, used to sing it as "Nobody makes a great french fry, like I do", etc. It was pretty cute. He even had back-up singers who were still stuck in the ground.
I can't believe it's not on YouTube yet.
