Steel2Velvet Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Me too! Very cool how they just play one after the other without having to restart. I am now enjoying the SF sounds library, while working on my photos and writing projects at my computer. Thanks a lot Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Ooee I didn't expect Mr. Kravitz's song to make it to #1.... very good! I did not see that coming Nice, nice! I approve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I'm surprised that Motherless Children didn't do better... That'll be because I nominated it. Thanks for the support for the playlist, everybody. I get to add another 90's song to it today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Band of Gold! Woo! Freda's in the hizzouse! I never knock anyone's nominations because it's a very subjective process. But please, if you know what this song is about let me know. Separate rooms on the honeymoon? Did he realize on the honeymoon that he was gay? What's the story here? And Billy Jack? Sorry, I'll say no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I suppose it figures that I only vote for one of MY songs, and the one I didn't vote for just barely misses it. Super Ry - you didn't vote for your own nomination I always vote mine highly, in case nobody else votes for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_s_1987 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) This has been the most surprising top ten for me, in a good way. I tipped Hold Your Head Up to make #1 this time, and I never expected either the #1 or Thank You by LBloodyZ (both of which are fantastic songs that deserve to be in those positions) to beat it. I commented recently on the fact that songs from the album Led Zeppelin II had been performing rather poorly in recent top tens. I think I can take that back now. I'm very happy, despite both of my nominations missing out, and the fact that I haven't heard most of the songs in this top ten.

bazooka Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 And Billy Jack? "I'm gonna take this right foot, and I'm gonna whop you on that side of your face ... and you wanna know something? There's not a damn thing you're gonna be able to do about it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Yeah ! It's not Citizen Kane material but a Classic in its genre. I've never seen it on Video or DVD here in Australia, or, believe it or not, I'd buy it ! Not the sequel though. What was it - The Trial Of Billy Jack ? Or did someone say there were three ? I don't know of any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 And Billy Jack? Sorry, I'll say no more. I don't understand Joe. Are you critical of the movie or the song? Of course the movie was second rate, but a classic of the times for a certain generation, (mine). Are you saying you don't get the lyrics? Those I think are pretty self explanatory, and what I what like most about the song. The lyrics are universal, and fit as well today as they did then. As for, Band of Gold, I've also wondered what in the world the lyrics mean, but at the end of the day, I really don't care. I love the song! Sorry, I guess it really doesn't matter does it? We all like what we like, don't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 So that´s the story behind "Band of Gold"... he was gay! I love the song, it reminds me of my teen years... I never quite understood why they had separate rooms either, I never really payed much attention... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Yes, edna, I think someone brought that to my attention here a while back. Or at least that is one possible explanation. It's possible too, that maybe he really idn't love her? Loved somebody else? Nope, the gay thing is probably right, and pretty risque subject, (though just loosely alluded to) for those times, huh?

Those I think are pretty self explanatory, and what I what like most about the song. The lyrics are universal, and fit as well today as they did then. For this forum I was questioning whether the song was "top ten" worthy. Obviously I think not. As to the movie, it was pure rubbish. And Band of Gold does sound like a good song, the lyrics notwithstanding. Freeda stirred controversy with her only other hit, too..."Bring The Boys Home". Her songs fit the times I suppose. I don't mean to be insulting towards anyone. Just MO, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 No, I didn't think that Joe. There's often a song or two that I'm totally puzzled about. Sort of like the song that gave me the "lovely" earworm, earlier in this thread. I believe it was by Gallery.? You know I'm teasing, right??

edna Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I heard an old Cliff Richard´s hit from the late sixties ("Goodbye Sam, hello Samantha" ) some months ago and I was astonihed as the lyrics were so dumb... I posted them in "the worst lyrics" thread and they also sound very weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Just the title sounds odd. A little "Lola-ish". Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 That´s what I always thought until I listened to the lyrics... rather quite undecided... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
