ImThatGuyToo Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 There is this song that has been plaguing me and my mom (my partner in classic rock) lately. It is played on classic rock stations, so we know it's in our field. It's a basic blues riff in E if I'm not mistaken, reminiscent of ZZ Top's La Grange. The only discernable words are "get it on" in the chorus. As much as I tried, I couldn't remember any other of the words. It sounds a bit like the Zombies, but I might just be grabbing in the dark. If anyone could help me out it'd be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Maybe the Hollies? I Could be way off, but I know the song fades at the end with 'Get it on' being repeated. Just a stab. Here's the lyrics, maybe it'll jog your memory. Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress Hollies - Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) Lyrics Buy This Album Discography Saturday night I was downtown Working for the F.B.I. Sitting in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles piling high Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong Just about to call up the DA man When I heard this woman sing a song A pair of 45s made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just-a 5'9, beautiful, tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all I saw her heading to the table Like a tall walking big black cat When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy 'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at Then suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run A-jumping out of doors and tables When I heard somebody shooting a gun Well the DA was pumping my left hand And a-she was a-holding my right Well I told her don't get scared 'Cause you're gonna be spared I've gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9 beautiful tall Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Had it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jr_ Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 I love those 70's compilation cds. I have a whole stack of them. I've bought some just for one song. LOL. That was before the wonderful world of downloading, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImThatGuyToo Posted January 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Hahaha yes! It's most certainly T. Rex. I knew I could count on you guys! You have no idea how long this song has been playing in my head. Thanks so much. :happybanana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImThatGuyToo Posted January 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Well guys, good news and bad news. Good news is that the T. Rex song is what I was referring to, but, the bad news is that it's not the song my mum was talking about. See, her and I are never heard this "get it on" song at the same time. She told me "there's this song that's like 'get it on' that they play on 94.7 (our local classic rock station) and it reminds me of La Grange." I'm like, ok mom, I can hunt that down for you I'm sure. So, with SF help (as usual) I came up with this song. I played it for her, and no dice. So, the search continues, without much hope. All I can give you is my mom's opinion: "the song I'm talking about is much more rockin' and fast than this song [T. Rex - Bang the Gong]". She has said in the past that it reminded her of La Grange/ Spirit in the Sky/ Come Together which leads me to believe it's a simple blues riff in E or A. :guitar: So this is the part where you guys almost arbitrarily recommend classic rock songs with "get it on" in the chorus. And no, Marvin Gaye does not count... I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Power Station did a cover of it in the 80's. It's more rocking, but I doubt that's it. Now it's gonna bug me. Thanks alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImThatGuyToo Posted January 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 haha well try being asked by your mom, every time you see her, "hey, did you find that get it on song yet?" At least this way we have a good project, you and I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImThatGuyToo Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Alright, talked to the mum. Mentioned Radar Love, she says "no, that song has a more country feel to it than this one does." Alright, mom. All I got from her is that it's *not* a basic blues riff, it has very catchy music, and from the way she was describing it (it's from the 70's, it's British, there's screaming) it sounded like The Who to me. If it was Cream or Led Zeppelin she would have known that right away. Either The Who or the Kinks, that's what I'm thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I´m doing a search through my 70´s compillations... as Jr, I use to buy a whole record just for one song... I´ll tell you the results tomorrow as I get on the board, if the good Lord and the bleep server allow me... If I don´t, we´ll ahve to count on other songfactor´s knowledge, or a local DJ, or Earth-Angel whenever she comes back!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I'm bumping this really old thread because I just finished listening to "Train Kept a Rolling" by Aerosmith on the local classic rock station and there's a part of the song that says "Well get along Sweet little woman get along On your way get along Sweet little woman get along" If you listen to it casually, it sounds like "well, get it on". Upon reading your initial post, that's the song that popped into my head, but I couldn't remember the name of it until now. Give it a listen and see if that's the song you're looking for.
