edna Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I posted this a week ago, as my nominations for this week. Anybody?? I was sure I posted about it... I don t like those ones, Lucky. Sorry, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, my friend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 The truth is fine sweetie, thats what I posted them for, the truth! .... it was the no response that got me!!! I know "Go For A Soda" was a one hit wonder, and I didn't really expect many to know it. I've always liked it, just because it's a catchy tune!!

OLD 55 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I like At Seventeen, Dizzy and Brandy (You're A Fine Girl). I think all of those heve been nominated before ? I prefer Helen Reddy's version of Delta Dawn. I like Andy Kim, but not that one too much, even thought it was his biggest Hit in 1974, not long after the birth of our #3 Child. I prefer So Good Together and Baby I Love You, both 1969, but I was listening to the radio more then. I don't know 'Go For A Soda'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 "Cherry Hill Park" - Billy Joe Royal Shannon, I don´t like that much your Loretta Lynn & Jack White song. Peachy, I like that Jane Child song... but no Bob Marley for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hi dear edna. I think you've nominated that before ? It never made it here in Australia, and I don't really think I'd vote for it ! How about 'Down In The Boondocks' ? I'd vote very highly for that. Any other Gene Pitney fans here ? This is my favorite of his. I'm Gonna Be Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hi, dear 55!! I like the Gene Pitney song but I don´t think I´ll vote for it if there´s other songs I like better... I had not heard that "Cherry Hill Park" song since I was in high school... I don´t think I´ll nominate it anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 this song wasn't nominated before Aeroplane ~ RHCP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) How about his BIG Hit Down In The Boondocks. BTW, what are 'boondocks' ? Sounds like slums or ghettos. I'm sure one of our Melican friends can enlighten us. P.S. I don't mind 'Aeroplane' Martin, but if there were lots of good 60s/70s songs like last time I wouldn't include it in my Ten. Sorry.

Farin Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 BTW, what are 'boondocks' ? Sounds like slums or ghettos. apparently it's more the opposite... Boondocks may refer to a remote, usually brushy rural area. The expression was introduced to English by American military personnel serving in the Philippines during the early years of the 20th century. It derives from the Tagalog word "bundok", meaning "mountain". It also carries the implication that it is "backward" or "unsophisticated"; hence taga-bundok "people who live in the hinterland": i.e., people who are backward or unsophisticated. Boondocks or diminutively "the boonies" has since evolved into a more general American slang term for "the country" or any rural/wilderness location in general, regardless of topography or vegetation that is isolated and away from "the action" or the comforts and variety of urban life. A similar word, bundu is part of South African Slang. Equipment suitable for traveling in the boondocks has been jokingly referred to as "boondockers," as contrasted with Dockers brand dress-pants.

OLD 55 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Well, fair maiden, even an old guy like me knows Wolfmother.

edna Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Farin, "Aeroplane" is OK, I might vote for it... I might... I like "Down in the Boondocks", but I don´t know, I don´ t know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Has Down in the Boondocks not made the Ten? I'd vote it pretty highly! I'm looking for something different this week. What do y'all think of either of these great Country ballads?? Blue ~ LeAnn Rimes I Will Always Love You ~ Dolly Parton (never the Whitney cover) Edited November 11, 2007 by Guest too erly can'r spell... see? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I will sure vote for LeAnn Rimes... Not that Dolly Parton song though... I´m planning to nominate "You´ve got a friend" again this Top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 ^ and the Garbage song, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 For you non -Americans... Wiki is generally correct on what Boondocks are. It usually means rural areas, or areas that are off the beaten track. But in the case of that song, I think he is more intending the "wrong side of the tracks"... the places most more affluent people would never go to.

edna Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 ^ and the Garbage song, right? Yes, I saw the movie the other night and I loved the song... I never heard it before. Now I doubt... "You´ve got a friend" had very few votes so I might nominate Françoise Hardy instead. Anyways, I don´t think it´ll make it and few people will take the time to listen to it... but I love it!
