C'mon C'mon ~ The Von Bondies (2004) Video and mp3 As I make my way, c'mon c'mon These better nights that seem too long Now we grieve cause now is gone Things were good when we were young lesson #1 for all budding lyricists: if you just can't seem make one line rhyme - simply add some nonsense words (just kidding, it's a great song ) thanks to those who introduced me to this band Re the quoted lyrics: I'm not sure what you're on about, Farin. The lyrics to "C'mon, C'mon" have always made perfect sense to me. I may be way off the mark, but I have always understood the song as an observation on the wide-eyed intensity and urgency of youth- the rush, if you will- whilst acknowledging its transience. In that context, I find the merging of phrases and concepts into apparent non-sequiturs as enhancing, (rather than detracting from) the lyric, in conveying that youthful euphoria. As regards your last point: you should pay more attention, sunshine. If I haven't nominated "C'mon, C'mon" before, I'm pretty sure I've at least recommended it, absolutely ages ago.

Farin Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 yes, you're right if it's after me, Teardrop should have made #1 (with 10 points to #2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 *sigh* Where's an emoticon that cries real tears, when you need one? I deprived my own nomination of a Top 10 place, by putting somebody else's - that stupid frigging "C'mon C'mon" nonsense - as my #1. If I had put "Salivating" as either my #1 or #2 (rather than #3) it would be in there. And "Skinheads" also missed out by only 2. Chiz chiz chiz moan.

The Seeker Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 many people aren't online at all on the weekends, that's why we do try to complete one round from monday to friday... Martin is right, and usually it's no problem... most people are online more often than just once every 48 hours. Lately I've been trying to keep voting open a little longer than usual too; I don't know if it's making much of a difference though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Chiz chiz chiz moan. Chiz chiz moan I guess! I think a couple of us may have thought more highly of your nomination than you did. I would have like seeing The Broken Family Band get a second song into the Ten! Nice list, but it could have been better. If at least one of my noms had made it.

MindCrime Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 This might be rude, but out of all the Stones songs that have made it in, Start Me Up is the worst IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Not rude at all .... but it is your opinion. There are several Stones songs on the list I personally wouldn't have put there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Not one of my favorite Stones songs either to be honest MC. I am happy CCR made it in and am surprised that the Eagles song got next to no votes. It's one of my favorites by them Nice list this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Good on you Lea. I really like 'Start Me Up' and I'm surprised it didn't get to #1. There's a lot of Stones' songs in past Tens I don't even know. All of those Album tracks. I didn't buy Albums, just Singles. Here's why. We lived on an outback farm and it was very hard to grow crops there. I used to rise when the rooster crowed every day and do my chores: water and feed the animals and the poultry, collect the eggs - if there were any, milk the cows and goats, shear the sheep, tend the crops, plow the fields and then come in for a hearty breakfast of gruel. Then I'd walk the ten miles to school - barefoot, we couldn't afford shoes - where I was a straight A student, eat some yams or gumleaves I found for lunch, sometimes witchety grubs if they were in season, clean the blackboards after school, escort the School M'aam home - ten miles the other direction - then walk the 20 miles back home (10 + 10, duh). Then I'd do my chores again. We'd have a surprise for supper. I used to think, "Don't Be Gruel", but Momma usually made rabbit stew, fried goanna, or some other delicacy. Then I'd do my homework, wash up in the horse trough, get ready for bed - which I shared with my nine brothers and sisters - but before I went to sleep I'd listen to one of my Singles on my pedal powered record player. I just didn't have the energy left to pedal enough to play Albums. That's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
