You ain't seen nothing yet until you've been to the beach of Bloemendaal aan Zee: it is beautiful, the beer is affordable, the girls are topless, and most of all: no dogs allowed !

It is all in the The Rolling Stones Chronicle 1961-2008, in the database section (scroll down on first page to select sections). 78: http://www.timeisonourside.com/chron1978.html 79: http://www.timeisonourside.com/chron1979.html . Warning: the 1979 page has the worst picture of Mick Jagger that has ever been taken....

That's a great link! The facts database gave me the chance to verify my memories. And yes, there it is, my first Stones concert: "October 5-9, 1970: The Rolling Stones conclude their European Tour with more concerts in West Germany - Frankfurt (for the first time) and Essen -, and their first performance in Amsterdam, The Netherlands." The 7th one was two years ago.......

What is the relevance of this news in the forum Music News of the website SongFACTS.com ?

I always activate cruise control, whenever this song is played on the radio, or else I'll end up driving one-hundred-and-eighty..... (kilometers per hour, in my country, but enough to loose your driving license). Status Quo: Accident Prone Fasten your seatbelts!

I thought I had read in an interview in Mojo or Uncut, some 8,9 years ago, I can't dance is written against Michael Jackson. I looked through my old copies, but didn't find the interview. Online research suggests this notion is wrong. The song is against jeans models, says http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Can%27t_Dance . Still, I'd like to collect some more titles of songs that were written against a specific person or group. The Rolling Stones's Star star are Mick's impression of groupies, says your database. Any news on "Suzy" mentioned in their Dead Flowers? The reference to Suzy Creamcheese in the comments is not very convincing.

The Genesis song I can't dance was written to defame Michael Jackson, so I read in an interview with Phil Collins. The band really hated Michael at the time, the early nineties. I can't dance, I can't talk. Only thing about me is the way I walk. I can't dance, I can't sing Im just standing here selling everything. I like the genre of defamatory songs, and I am interested in more examples of songs, written to expose or underline some persons nasty characteristics, behaviour, image or whatever. You're so vain by Carly Simon is another example, although is is not entirely clear whom she wrote it for (my guess would be: Warren Beatty). Does anybody know some more examples?

Musicmeter.nl knows the album Dust by Dust: http://www.musicmeter.nl/album/121617 . This is the tracklist: 1.Stone Woman 3:36 2.Chasin' Ladies 3:12 3.Goin' Easy 3:47 4.Love Me Hard 2:35 5.From a Dry Camel 2:46 6.Often Shadows Felt 4:01 7.Loose Goose 2:42 22:39

Never understood why anybody could bear to listen more than once to "Do that to me one more time" by Captain and Tenille....... That stupid flute! That faked passionate voice! Also nominated: all songs that have whistling in them, like "Jealous Guy" by Brian Ferry.

David Bowie, in the song 5 Years: "I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long Smiling and waving and looking so fine, dont think you knew you were in this song".

Johnny Rotten's PIL (Public Image Ltd) hit: This is not a love song. Was Carly Simon's You're so vain already mentioned? "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you...".

The most impressive song describing a murder from the killer's view is Delia's gone, by the great Johnny Cash. I find this his most morbid contribution to music! "Delia's Gone" Delia, oh, Delia Delia all my life If I hadn't have shot poor Delia I'd have had her for my wife Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone I went up to Memphis And I met Delia there Found her in her parlor And I tied to her chair Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone She was low down and trifling And she was cold and mean Kind of evil make me want to Grab my sub machine Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone First time I shot her I shot her in the side Hard to watch her suffer But with the second shot she died Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone But jailer, oh, jailer Jailer, I can't sleep 'Cause all around my bedside I hear the patter of Delia's feet Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone So if you woman's devilish You can let her run Or you can bring her down and do her Like Delia got done Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

A good name for the category of songs with spoken parts might be: PARLANDO. Something happened to me yesterday, by the Rolling Stones, is one.

Listen to Downtown, sung by Mrs.Miller (mid-sixties). You'll agree with me that her version is definetly the worst sung hit ever. http://www.mrsmillersworld.com/whois_bin/WhoIs.html

I received an explanantion for the 47 miles of barbed wire. It means he's been in jail a long time, walking outside in a courtyard surrounded by barbed wire for half an hour per day, at the most. I started calculating how long he has been in jail: average dimensions of Louisiana courtyard, average time allowed in the open air in Louisiana jail, average speed of frustrated prisoner..... Anybody any clue about the icewagon flew ?

Hi. Not being born 'n raised in Louisiana, the lyrics of Bo Diddley's Who do you love are quite puzzling to me. What is the symbolism in 47 miles of barbed wire, a brand new chimney made on top, made out of human skulls, and around the corner an ice wagon flew ? Greetinx, and thanx in advance!
