[miamisammy29]

1. Do Ya - The Move (A true classic)

2. Never Been To Spain - Three Dog Night (I've never been to Spain, but I kinda love this song.)

3. Voices - Cheap Trick (I may have mentioned this before, but Robin Zander sounds a helluva lot like John Lennon.)

4. Strutter - Kiss ("Everybody says she's looking good, and the lady knows it's understood.")

5. Lay It On The Line - Triumph (My favorite from Canada's second best power trio. I challenge you to name a third.)

6. Medicine Jar - McCartney & Wings (Cool tune from just prior to the beginning of his "mindless fluff" era.)

7. I Started A Joke - Bee Gees (Written and sung by the dorkier twin, Robin Gibb, or as I like to call him, "Throatwarbler Mangrove".)

8. Hang On Sloopy - The McCoys (Took 'em nearly two hunnerd years to finally rassle the rights to this song from dem dang-blasted Hatfields.)

9. A Message To You Rudy - The Specials (The Fun Boy Seven kick up a damn fine pile o' ska! Don't they?)

10. Doctor Wu - Steely Dan (It's not "Bad Sneakers", but it's a pretty cool tune.)

[Uncle Joe]

1-Danny's Song - Anne Murray (1973) I'm the lucky one.

2-Do Ya - The Move (1976) Don't I!!!

3-Doctor Wu - Steely Dan (1975) How did I not place this at #1?

4-Electric Avenue - Eddy Grant (1983) Ya Mon!

5-Never Been To Spain - Three Dog Night (1971) That Hoyt Axton wrote some excellent tunes.

6-Reason To Believe - Rod Stewart (1971) That Tim Hardin wrote some excellent tunes.

7-Be-Bop-A-Lula - Gene Vincent (1956) Gene was badly injured in the crash that took Eddie Cochran's life and he nor his career were ever the same.

8-Bernadette - The Four Tops (1967) Keep a good thought for Levi Stubbs who is very ill.

9-Monster Mash - Bobby "Boris" Pickett (1973) Just for fun.

10-Hang On Sloopy - The McCoys (1965) That Derringer guy...rumored to have played with Deep Purple (or so some say).

1. Danny's Song - Anne Murray

2. Her Strut - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band

3. Sharp Dressed Man - ZZ Top

6. The Living Years - Mike & The Mechanics

7. Doctor Wu - Steely Dan

8. Medicine Jar - Wings

Well I know I could put this in the Announcements Thread, but most of my friends hang out here. Its 40 Years today since I met Mrs.O55. Lucky woman.

[Super Ry 71]

Tonight, you're mine completely

You give your love so sweetly

Tonight, the light of love is in your eyes

But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure

Or just a moment's pleasure?

Can I believe the magic of your sighs?

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight, with words unspoken,

You say that I'm the only one

But will my heart be broken

When the night (when the night)

Meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love

Is a love I can be sure of

So, tell me now and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Instrumental Bridge

So, tell me now and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Will you still love me tomorrow?

(repeat and fade out)

Congrats, Mr. and Mrs 55!!

Ray, you voted for Doucette! Wow, that was really a long shot. Poor Mr Doucette, I even left him out. Good thing he had a fellow Canadian around to support him!

Congratulations Darryl! What a smooth operator you are. But, congrats to Val too. She got herself a romantic, with a great memory! Two very good traits to have in a hubby!
