Tenacious_Peaches Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I have gone through and added all of the suggested quotes and linked them to their respective Songfacts. I went through the songs that had no Songfacts to see if they had Artistfacts. If they had Artistfacts, I linked the song to that page. The following is a list of quotes with neither Songfacts or Artistfacts. I was surprised by a few of them on the list. If you know anything about the song or the artist (or both), please let me know. I can submit them for you and will give you credit, like our sensational Katie does for the Top Ten Facts. Yes, I do realize that my beloved Tenacious D is on this list. Yes, I am thoroughly ashamed and will rectify it immediately, if not sooner.

edna Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Telegram Sam by T.Rex Released in February 1972, Telegram Sam was the third UK number one single for the British rock group T. Rex. Perhaps best known for bringing the term "mainman" into popular culture, it was number one for two weeks. The lyrics feature numerous figures such as Golden Nose Slim (who knows where you been), Jungle Faced Jake (make no mistake) and Purple Pie Pete. It also contains these lines Marc Bolan wrote to refer to himself: Me I find I don't care/ I ain't no square/ with my corkscrew hair. The riff is similar in character to their massive hit from the previous year, "Get It On". It wasn't as successful as "Get It On" worldwide, and it only peaked at #67 in the Billboard Hot 100. In 1980, it was covered by the gothic rock band Bauhaus as a single. all from Wikipedia. Here´s more from allmusic.com: Marc Bolan's first single of 1972 was also the first release on his own T Rex Wax Co label, and was devoted, fittingly, to the manager who landed him the label (and an awful lot of money) in the first place, former Moody Blues/ Move overseer Tony Secunda. "Telegram Sam" was Bolan's affectionate nickname for his "main man" Secunda; in another verse, "Jungle-face Jake" was named for Sid Walker, Secunda's black assistant. Among the other characters peopling the song, Bobby is — no surprise — Bob Dylan, a "natural born poet who's just outta sight." Ever willing to muddy the waters, however, Bolan once added that the song was also "written about someone I met in New York who used to do little services for me." A taut rocker bristling with power and excitement and nailed by one of Bolan's most insistent riffs, "Telegram Sam" was recorded in Copenhagen, Denmark, as the public's first glimpse into what would become T. Rex's next album, the masterful The Slider. Of course it topped the U.K. chart with effortless ease, while it became the band's fourth (and final) U.S. hit, reaching number 67 that spring. A radically tougher working version of the song appeared on the Bump'n'Grind rarities collection, but adds little to the familiar take. I´d swear there was some facts for "Jeepster"... it was on a Top Ten not long ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Phil posted recently some facts for Jeepster... From Wikipedia, Jeepster was a 1971 single for the British glam rock band T. Rex. The song peaked at #2 in the UK charts, and was controversial in that Fly Records, the record label the band was signed to, released the song without singer Marc Bolan's prior permission, as Bolan had just left Fly for EMI, where he received control of his own label, T. Rex Wax Co. Records. The song was covered by Protex for their 1980 album, Strange Obsessions. The music and rhythm is quite close to that of the Howlin' Wolf song, "You'll Be Mine", written by Willie Dixon. In interviews, Marc Bolan said himself that he'd "lifted it from a Howlin' Wolf song".

Jenny Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Artist facts for Pink, who was born as Alicia Beth Moore: From Wikipedia: P!nk was born in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania to Vietnam veteran James Moore and nurse Judy Kugel. She is of Jewish ancestry on her mother's side, and is Irish, German and Lithuanian on her father's.[1][2] Pink has identified herself as Jewish when she defended Mel Gibson after he made anti-Semitic remarks when he was drunk. She grew up in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, where she attended Central Bucks West High School. Her father played guitar and sang songs for her, and from an early age she aspired to be a rock star. Her parents divorced when she was seven years old. While in high school, P!nk joined her first "official" band, Middle Ground, but the band never took off. She has said that they "really sucked".[3] According to Pink, her biggest influences are Janis Joplin, Steven Tyler, Bad Religion, Mary J. Blige, Bob Marley, Billy Joel, Indigo Girls, Don McLean, 2Pac, and The Notorious B.I.G..[4] P!nk developed her voice early on in her life. She had asthma and needed to learn to breathe from her lower abdomen instead of her chest on doctor's advice, and started singing lessons to learn this technique.[5] She began performing in Philadelphia clubs when she was 14-years-old. At age 16, she joined an R&B Atlanta-based trio called Choice, which included Chrissy Conway. The group signed with LaFace Records, and contributed "Key to My Heart" to the soundtrack of the 1996 film Kazaam. Choice eventually disbanded before having recorded an album, Moore remained at LaFace as a solo act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 two quotes from the same song: "A child is born with no state of mind Blind to the ways of mankind God is smiling on you but he's frowning too Because only God knows what you’ll go through" "Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge I'm trying not to lose my head It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder How I keep from going under" "The Message" ~ Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
