Let's put together our own " Rockin' New Years Eve " !

First up :

SHE'S SO COLD

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her

I'm so hot for her and she's so cold

I'm so hot for her, I'm on fire for her

I'm so hot for her and she's so cold

I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire

I'm the bleeding volcano

I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her

I'm so hot for her and she's so cold

Yeah, I tried re-wiring her, tried re-firing her

I think her engine is permanently stalled

She's so cold she's so cold

She's so cold cold cold

Like a tombstone

She's so cold, she's so cold

she's so cold cold cold like an ice cream cone

She's so cold she's so cold

I dare not touch her my hand just froze

Yeah, I'm so hot for hot for her, I'm so hot for her

I'm so hot for her and even so

Put your hand on the heat, put your hand on the heat

Aw C'mon baby, let's go

She's so cold, she's so cold, cold, she's so c-c-c-old

But she's beautiful, though

Yeah, she's so cold

She's so cold, she's so cold

She was born in an arctic zone

She's so cold she's so cold, cold, cold

I dare not touch her my hand just froze

She's so cold, she's so goddamn cold she's so

Cold cold cold she's so cold

Who would believe you were a beauty indeed

When the days get shorter and the nights get long

Lie awake when the rain comes

Nobody will know, when you're old

When you're old, nobody will know

that you was a beauty, a sweet sweet beauty

A sweet sweet beauty, but stone stone cold

You're so cold, you're so cold, cold, cold

You're so cold, you're so cold

I'm so hot for you, i'm so hot for you

I'm so hot for you and you're so cold

I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire

I'm the bleeding volcano

Psyco , ... choose a tune ! Save the sermons for Sunday ! :shades:

Next up : The Who : 5:15

Why should I care, why should I care?

Girls of fifteen

Sexually knowing

The ushers are sniffing

Eau-de-cologning

The seats are seductive

Celibate sitting

Pretty girls digging

Prettier women.

Magically bored

On a quiet street corner

Free frustration

In our minds and our toes

Quiet stormwater

M-m-my generation

Uppers and downers

Either way blood flows.

Inside outside. Leave me alone.

Inside outside. Nowhere is home.

Inside outside, Where have I been?

Out of my brain on the five fifteen.

On a raft in the quarry

Slowly sinking.

On the back of a lorry

Holy hitching.

Dreadfully sorry

Apple scrumping.

Born in the war

Birthday punching.

He man drag

In the glittering ballroom

Gravely outrageous

In my high heel shoes

Tightly undone

They know what they're showing

Sadly ecstatic

That their heroes are news.

Why should I care?

The Beatles -- You Never Give Me Your Money

You never give me your money

You only give me your funny paper

and in the middle of negotiations

you break down

I never give you my number

I only give you my situation

and in the middle of investigation

I break down

Out of college, money spent

See no future, pay no rent

All the money's gone, nowhere to go

Any jobber got the sack

Monday morning, turning back

Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go

But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go

Oh, that magic feeling

Nowhere to go

One sweet dream

Pick up the bags and get in the limousine

Soon we'll be away from here

Step on the gas and wipe that tear away

One sweet dream came true today

Came true today

Came true today (yes it did)

One two three four five six seven,

All good children go to Heaven

Sorry Kevin...i get hyper sometimes...

Time is on my side, yes it is

Time is on my side, yes it is

Now you always say

That you want to be free

But you’ll come running back (said you would baby)

You’ll come running back (I said so many times before)

You’ll come running back to me

Oh, time is on my side, yes it is

Time is on my side, yes it is

You’re searching for good times

But just wait and see

You’ll come running back (I won’t have to worry no more)

You’ll come running back (spend the rest of my life with you, baby)

You’ll come running back to me

Go ahead, go ahead and light up the town

And baby, do everything your heart desires

Remember, I’ll always be around

And I know, I know

Like I told you so many times before

You’re gonna come back, baby

’cause I know

You’re gonna come back knocking

Yeah, knocking right on my door

Yes, yes!

Well, time is on my side, yes it is

Time is on my side, yes it is

’cause I got the real love

The kind that you need

You’ll come running back (said you would, baby)

You’ll come running back (I always said you would)

You’ll come running back, to me

Yes time, time, time is on my side, yes it is

Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is

Oh, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is

I said, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is

Oh, time, time, time is on my side

Yeah, time, time, time is on my side

The Temptations

Ain't Too Proud To Beg

I know you wanna leave me,

But I refuse to let you go

If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy,

I don't mind coz' you mean that much to me

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me, girl, don't you go

Now I heard a cryin' man,

Is half a man with no sense of pride

But if I have to cry to keep you,

I don't mind weepin' if it'll keep you by my side

Ain't to proud to beg, sweet darlin

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

If I have to sleep on your doorstep

All night and day just to keep you from walkin' away

Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand

Because I want to keep you any way I can

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Now I've gotta love so deep in the pit of my heart

And each day it grows more and more

I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you baby

If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door

Ain't too proud to beg, you know it sweet darlin'

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Baby, baby, baby, baby (sweet darling)

OK , let's pick it back up !

Crocodile Rock

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Available on the album Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player

 

I remember when rock was young

Me and Suzie had so much fun

holding hands and skimming stones

Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own

But the biggest kick I ever got

was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock

While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock

we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking

when your feet just can't keep still

I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will

Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights

when Suzie wore her dresses tight

and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight

But the years went by and the rock just died

Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy

Long nights crying by the record machine

dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans

But they'll never kill the thrills we've got

burning up to the Crocodile Rock

Learning fast as the weeks went past

we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last

Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits

You get a shiver in the dark

It's raining in the park but meantime

South of the river you stop and you hold everything

A band is blowing Dixie double four time

You feel alright when you hear that music ring

You step inside but you don't see too many faces

Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down

Too much competition, too many other places

But not too many horns can make that sound

Way on downsouth; way on downsouth London town

You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords

Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing

And an old guitar is all he can afford

When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene

He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright

He can play honky tonk just like anything

Saving it up for Friday night

With the Sultans; with the Sultans of Swing

And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner

Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

The don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band

It ain't what they call rock and roll

And the Sultans played Creole

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone

And says at last just as the time bell rings

'Thank you .. goodnight .. now it's time to go home'

and he makes it fast whith one more thing

'We are the Sultans; we are the Sultans of Swing'

Sweet ! Thanks all ! Now , slowin' it down a mite here's ...

Pink Floyd - Money

From the album

"The Dark Side Of The Moon"

Money, get away.

Get a good job with good pay and youre okay.

Money, its a gas.

Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.

New car, caviar, four star daydream,

Think Ill buy me a football team.

Money, get back.

Im all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.

Money, its a hit.

Dont give me that do goody good bullshit.

Im in the high-fidelity first class traveling set

And I think I need a Lear jet.

Money, its a crime.

Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie.

Money, so they say

Is the root of all evil today.

But if you ask for a raise its no surprise that theyre

giving none away.

HuHuh! I was in the right!

Yes, absolutely in the right!

I certainly was in the right!

You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!

Yeah!

Why does anyone do anything?

I dont know, I was really drunk at the time!

I was just telling him, he couldnt get into number 2. He was asking

why he wasnt coming up on freely, after I was yelling and screaming

and telling him why he wasnt coming up on freely. It came as a heavy

blow, but we sorted the matter out

...and now, a 'waltz' for the lovers out there ...

Your Song

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Available on the album Elton John

 

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside

I'm not one of those who can easily hide

I don't have much money but boy if I did

I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no

Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show

I know it's not much but it's the best I can do

My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song

It may be quite simple but now that it's done

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss

Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross

But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song

It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do

You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue

Anyway the thing is what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

"The telephone is ringing

You got me on the run

I guess that you couldn't see, yeah yeah

But you were under my wheels, honey

Why don't you let me be

'Cause when you call me on the telephone

Saying take me to the show

And then I say, honey, I just can't go

Old lady's sick and I can't leave her home

The telephone is ringing

You got me on the run

I'm driving in my car now

I got you under my wheels

I got you under my wheels

I got you under my wheels

Yeah yeah

I got you under my wheels

Yeah yeah

How about some Bangles...Okay..everyone Walk Like An Egyptian...

Walk Like an Egyptian

Bangles

All the old paintings on the tomb

They do the sand dance, don'cha know?

If they move too quick (Oh-Way-Oh)

They're falling down like a domino

And the bazaar man by the Nile

He got the money on a bet

For the crocodiles (Oh-Way-Oh)

They snap their teeth on a cigarette

Foreign types with their hookah pipes sing:

Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo...

Walk like an Egyptian.

The blonde waitresses take their trays

Spin around and they cross the floor.

They've got the moves (Oh-Way-Oh)

You drop your drink then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books

They like the punk and the metal band

When the buzzer rings (Oh-Way-Oh)

They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say:

Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo...

Walk like an Egyptian.

Line your feet astreet, bend your back,

Shift your arm, then you pull a clock

Like Sergeant O (Oh-Way-Oh)

So strike a pose on a Cadillac

If you want to find all the cops,

They're hanging out in the donut shop.

They sing and dance (Oh-Way-Oh)

They spin their clock and cruise on down the block

All the Japanese with their Yen

The party boys call the Kremlin

The Chinese know (Oh-Way-Oh)

They walk along like Egyptians

All the cops in the donut shops say:

Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo...

Walk like an Egyptian

Walk like an Egyptian

"Day Tripper" ~ The Beatles

Got a good reason for taking the easy way out

Got a good reason for taking the easy way out now

She was a day tripper, a one way ticket yeah

It took me so long to find out, and I found out

She's a big teaser, she took me half the way there

She's a big teaser, she took me half the way there now

She was a day tripper, a one way ticket yeah

It took me so long to find out, and I found out

Tried to please her, she only played one night stands

Tried to please her, she only played one night stands now

She was a day tripper, a Sunday driver yeah

It took me so long to find out, and I found out

Day tripper

Day tripper yeah

Day tripper

Day tripper yeah

Day tripper

To make it more interesting (and up the ante :grin: ) here's a Songfact:

In 2004, Paul McCartney did an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper where he explained that drugs influenced many of The Beatles' songs. He singled this one out as being about acid (LSD), but also said that people often overestimate the influence of drugs on their music.

Since these are the years of uncertainty, here's an answer to "the safe life" from Mary-Chapin Carpenter:

I took a walk in the rain one day on the wrong side of the tracks

I stood on the rails till I saw that train

Just to see how my heart would react

Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate

And for them I would not disagree

But I never learned nothing from playing it safe

I say fate should not tempt me

I take my chances, I don't mind working without a net

I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get

I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote

I found a preacher who spoke of the light but there was brimstone in his throat

He'd show me the way according to him in return for my personal check

I flipped my channel back to CNN and I lit another cigarette

I take my chances, forgiveness doesn't come with a debt

I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get

I've crossed lines of words and wire and both have cut me deep

I've been frozen out and I've been on fire and the tears are mine to weep

Now I can cry until I laugh and laugh until I cry

So cut the deck right in half, I'll play from either side

I take my chances, I pay my dollar and I place my bet

I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get

I take my chances, I don't cling to remorse or regret

I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get

I take my chances

I take my chances :guitar:

I renounce this thread. I turned on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve show ten minutes before midnight. He's been very sick and he looked and sounded terrible. The poor thing. I've never seen him look even close to his age, but he did tonight.

I PRAISE DICK CLARK! Bless him for his contribution to music for all these years. :bow:
