Shawna Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Here's another that's just been added: In Jersey Girl even though it wasn't written by bruce Jersey Girl ~ Bruce Springsteen I posted the video for Tom Waites rather than Springsteen, since he wrote it. But what do you guys think, should it have the Bruce video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I would guess, since Tom Waites wrote it, would make sense to post his video....I like The Boss too though....why not both?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I wish I could do both! There's only room for one video... :beady: I'm thinking since we have Bruce's name as the artist, though, I'll probably have to switch it out and put up his video...

kaleegirl45 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 what about Hotel California "Although it is well known that Hotel California is actually a metaphor, there are several strange internet theories and urban legends about the "real" Hotel California. Some include suggestions that it was an old church taken over by devil worshippers, a psychiatric hospital, an inn run by cannibals or Aleister Crowley's mansion in Scotland.

bluesboy Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I've hesitated and procrastinated long enough... from the streets of Los Angeles Pico and Sepulveda - Freddy Martin & His Orchestra (1947) aka Felix Figueroa & His Orchestra from wiki... "Pico and Sepulveda" is a 1947 song by Freddy Martin and his orchestra. Composed by Eddie Maxwell and Jule Styne (Ambassador Records, 1947—b/w "She of the Coffee Brown Eyes"), it utilizes a Latin-style beat, and Martin used the alias "Felix Figueroa" when performing and recording the song. It was frequently featured on the Dr. Demento radio show in the 1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I don't know if you are interested in hypothetical places, but Donovan can direct you to this neighborhood. [smaller]The continent of Atlantis was an island which lay before the great flood in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean. So great an area of land, that from her western shores those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South and the North Americas with ease, in their ships with painted sails. To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles. The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture. The antediluvian kings colonised the world All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis. Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth. On board were the Twelve: The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist, The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends. Though Gods they were - And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new.[/smaller] Hail Atlantis !

Dappled Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Beechwood Park is the title of a song from The Zombies 1967 album, Odessey and Oracle, that refers to a place in Flamstead, Hertfordshire as the group's bassist grew up nearby. "Beechwood Park, once the site of a Benedictine nunnery and now home to a preparatory school, lies in the parish, though it is closer to the neighbouring village of Markyate. Beechwood Park gave its name to a song by The Zombies, written by the group's bassist Chris White, who grew up in Markyate." ~ Wiki Do you remember summer days Just after summer rain When all the air was damp and warm In the green of country lanes? And the breeze would touch your hair Kiss your face and make you care About your world Your summer world And we would count the evening stars As the day grew dark In Beechwood Park... Do you remember golden days and golden summer sun The sound of laughter in our ears In the breeze as we would run? And the breeze would touch your hair Kiss your face and make you care About your world Your summer world And we would count the evening stars As the day grew dark In Beechwood Park... Oh roads in my mind Take me back in my mind And I can't forget you Won't forget you Won't forget those days And Beechwood Park... And the breeze would touch your hair Kiss your face and make you care About your world Your summer world And we would count the evening stars As the day grew dark In Beechwood Park... Oh roads in my mind Take me back in my mind And I can't forget you Won't forget you Won't forget those days And Beechwood Park... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dappled Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Birkshire Poppies by Traffic Berkshire is a historic county in the South East of England. It is also often referred to as the Royal County of Berkshire because of the presence of the royal residence of Windsor Castle in the county. In the Wiki article they list some famous people from Birkshire including Jethro Tull (1674–1741) Birkshire Poppies So many people with nothing to do Hundreds of buildings that block out my view Watched by a tramp with a hole in his shoe Standing alone on the corner He's thinking that work is all a big joke While he looks in the gutter for something to smoke Two hundred kids in one red minimoke Scream down the street fully loaded Day in the city Oh what a pity I could be in Berkshire where the poppies are so pretty I could be in Berkshire where the poppies are so pretty I wish that I was there I wanna make it out of there People like sardines packed in a can Waiting for Christmas that's made in Japan And I'm having trouble with my apple flan Sat in the cafe on the corner I walk through the green gates and into the park Where murderers crawl after girls in the dark Down by the shed I head a remark I turned on but no one could hear me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I don't know if you are interested in hypothetical places, but Donovan can direct you to this neighborhood. "Atlantis" Absolutely - it's a "place," right? Whether real or made up. Of course, it might prove to present me a challenge when it comes time for me to find a photo. This was one of my sister's favorite songs when we were growing up. Thanks, Dappled, for your suggestions! Our list is growing... and shrinking at the same time as we get these written.

Dappled Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Great work, Shawna and the rest of the gang! Stockton-on-Tees is a market town in North East England. Here's an article about the Globe Theatre in Stockton and below is a bit about The Shadows' song Stars Fell On Stockton "Also in December that year (1959) Cliff Richard and The Shadows appeared in the pantomime Babes in The Wood and Jet Harris of the Shadows crashed the car they were traveling in. Jet had broken his shoulder and Hank had injured his eye meaning he played on stage with patch over his left eye and tape over his glasses lens. They went to America after the panto but had to return to Stockton Magistrates court months later, where Jet was fined £35 for driving without 'L' plates. The Shadows hit 'Stars Fell on Stockton' the 'B' side of their number one hit 'Wonderful Land' was written to commemorate the event." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
