MuzikTyme Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Greetings, Songfactors! It's always been my conclusion that the worst way to die would be being burned alive. With that in mind, I'm intrigued by songs that mention fire in them... What's one of your favourite songs about fire? Here's one of mine though it doesn't mention fire except through its title because it's instrumental. lol Fire Eater ~ Three Dog Night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl once said his name sounds more like an accountant than a rock artist! lol Fire ~ Arthur Brown Sadly, I can't find the original black & white version.

MuzikTyme Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Mr. Crime... it is as if you have my mind. I was just getting ready to acclaim that fact! You not only beat me mentioning a great song, but you beat me acknowledging the very fact that you said it first! Thanks and the acclaim goes to you, my friend.
