chutzpah Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Moonchild- Rory Gallagher Released 1976 from the album Calling Card No chart position because Rory Gallagher didn't do singles.

MindCrime Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 New Moon On Monday - Duran Duran The second single to be lifted from the band's 1983 album Seven and the Ragged Tiger, the song was another success, reaching the Top 10 on both the British and American music charts. On 11 February 1984, the single reached #9 on the UK Singles Chart and on 17 March, it reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, after entering on 14 January 1984 at #56. The music video for "New Moon on Monday" was filmed by director Brian Grant during the icy first week of January 1984, in the village of Noyers in France. It has a loosely sketched storyline in which the band appear as members of an underground rebellion called "La Luna" (the name is one of the few connections between the video's content and the song lyrics), organizing a revolt against a modern (1980s-era computers are used) oppressive militaristic regime, apparently in France. "We set out to make a little movie", recalled Grant. "I'm not sure we succeeded." He was not the first choice to shoot the video, as Russell Mulcahy, director of many of the band's other videos, was unavailable. There is a 17 minute version of the video with a lengthy introduction. Both Andy Taylor and Nick Rhodes say this is the band's least favourite video. "Everybody ... hates it, particularly the dreadful scene at the end where we all dance together", Taylor wrote in his memoirs. "Even today, I cringe and leave the room if anyone plays [it]." He recalls that they were miserable since their Christmas holiday had been cut short to shoot the video, and spent most of the day on the dark and cold set drinking, to the point that he was "half cut" by the time the last scenes were shot. "It's one of the few times I've seen Nick dance." Taken from Wikipedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzor Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) "Wilbury Twist is the final track on their 1990 studio album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3. The song was also released in March 1991 as the second single from that album. The original music video featured cameos from many contemporary celebrities. The DVD video in the 2007 re-release set, The Traveling Wilburys Collection, retains only a few introductory shots of John Candy and Eric Idle, otherwise simply showing the band members performing the song."

Rayzor Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 "Bathroom Wall is a song taken from Faster Pussycat's first album Faster Pussycat released in 1987. Like much of the band's material from the album, it has a comedy side and deals with graffiti left on a bathroom stall wall that Taime Downe saw backstage at a gig the band were playing prior to getting signed."

OLD 55 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 The Electric Prunes were a mid 60s psychedelic acid/garage rock band from the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, California. They were well known for their offbeat and unique hard-rocking sound which made inventive and extensive use of echo, reverb, and other kinds of quirky sonic distortion. The group first formed in 1965. I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)was the band's biggest hit, released as a single in 1966 and reached #11 in the U.S. in 1967. You're welcome Dear Edna. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Smith was an American Pop/Rock group, formed in Los Angeles in 1969 with Gayle McCormick on vocals. They made U.S. # 5 that year (didn't chart U.K.) with a cover of the Bacharach/David song Baby It's You, originally a Top Ten hit for The Shirelles. ................................................. Hole In My Shoe - Traffic. There's lots of info about Traffic on Wiki of course. This song was their biggest Hit in the U.K. at #2 in 1967 but didn't chart in the U.S. Composed by their guitarist Dave Mason, it wasn't liked by the other 3 band members, Stevie Winwood, Chris Wood and Jim Capaldi. Covered by Nigel Planer (Neil in 'The Young Ones' British TV comedy - a favourite in our household) his version also reached #2 in 1984. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 "Hole In My Shoe" Traffic Written by Dave Mason. It was their second single, released in August 1967 with "Smiling Phases" as the B-side. It wasn't included in an album, except as a bonus track on the CD edition of their first LP. It made #2 in the UK clarts and #22 in germany. The other members of the band didn't like the song: it wasn't "Traffic" enough. The brief monologue, over the mellotron passage, is spoken by Chris Blackwell's stepdaughter Francine Heimann.

Rayzor Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 California Girls - David Lee Roth "California Girls" was a Beach Boys song covered by David Lee Roth on his 1985 EP Crazy from the Heat (with background vocals contributed by Beach Boy Carl Wilson along with Christopher Cross), and like the original it topped at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The iconic music video for the cover, directed by Pete Angelus and Roth, was released in February 1985.[8] Roth stars as a tour guide, showing tourists the beach and swimsuit models. One of tourists is played by Jane Leeves, who went on to play Frasier's Daphne Moon. The female bodybuilder featured in the video is Roth's personal fitness trainer, Kay Baxter. -Wikipedia- Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzor Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Don't Damn Me by Guns N Roses "Don't Damn Me" is the 13th track on the album, and is the only song from the album that's never been played live. Use Your Illusion I is the third studio album by the American rock band Guns N' Roses. It was the first of two albums released in conjunction with the Use Your Illusion Tour, the other being Use Your Illusion II. The two are thus sometimes considered a double album - in fact both were double albums consisting of 2 vinyl records each (Warman's Records Field Guide) -Wiki- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
