Old school music is cool!

[Blurock]

An all time favourite by Peter Green, one of the best guitarists of our age. Pity he flew too close to the psychedelic sun.

Fleetwood Mac - Man of the world 1969

Shall I tell you about my life
They say I'm a man of the world
I've flown across every tide
And I've seen lots of pretty girls

I guess I've got everything I need
I would't ask for more
And there's no one I'd rather be
But I just wish that I'd never been born

(Instrumental)

And I need a good woman
to make me feel like a good man should
I don't say I'm a good man
Oh, but I would be if I could

I could tell you about my life
And keep you amused I'm sure
About all the times I've cried
And how I don't want to be sad anymore
And how I wish I was in love

Kylie Minogue: Locomotion: 1988: Album –Kylie: Lyrics and Video









For Miss V, simply cause you appreciate good music from the 80’s.

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now

(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it
If you give it a chance now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your a b c's
So come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me

You gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby, jump up, hmmm jump back
Oh well I think you got the knack


Now that you can do it
Let's make a chain now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Do it nice and easy now don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
So come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me
Yeah

Chug chug


Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you got the notion
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy
When you're feeling blue
So come on come on do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now


Come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me
Yeah
Come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now

Wet, Wet, Wet:Love is all around: 1994: Lyrics and video..and much more!!!

This is cyber space, so whatever is confirmed to the record stays here! I have being apprehensive about this particular post, as it exposes me!??!

After all, all the best secrets are hidden in plain view. I’m going to be forthcoming with you??? I started this whimsical thread “Old School Music Is Cool,” to relive my youth. MG , this montage is “especially for you!” “It’s a feeling, it’s a heartbeat.” At the very least, short, succinct and to the very point, this is incalculably ME. Perhaps this sounds a little bit far –out, you’ll have to be refreshingly open minded. I on the other hand, am just a hobo masquerading as a gentleman!! I do a pretty splendid job of it though! So, MG, there’s a lot of good memories in this specific thread. I hope it flatters you rather than annoy you?? So, I'm just going to say "something stupid," and leave it at that......

Lets go..

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go, oh yes it is
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show
You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the
Way that I feel
There's no beginning,
There'll be no end
'cause on my love you can depend
I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking
Of all the things you said, oh yes I did
You gave your promise to me and i
Gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everything I do, oh yes I do
You know I love you, I always will,
My mind's made up by the
Way that I feel
There's no beginning,
There'll be no end
'cause on my love you can depend
Got to keep it moving
Oh it's written in the wind
Oh everywhere I go, yeah, oh well
So if you really love me, love me, love me
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it
Come on and let it (come and let it show, baby)
Come on, come on, come on let it show baby
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show, baby
Come on and let it show

By bit (bit by bit, bit by bit)....

AND.....

If I can’t have you: Bee Gees: !977:Lyrics and Video

Allow me to build on this montage.."You give your promise to me, and I give mine to you."

Don't know why
I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be
No chance for me

My life would end
And it just don't matter how I cry
My tears of love
Are a waste of time
If I turn away

Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh...

Can't let go
And it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily
To you my love

To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong source enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh...

Kylie Minogue: Tears on my pillow: 8 January 1990: Lyrics and Video

Still working on this montage MG



You need a sensational lady to deliver this original song, from the movie “GREASE.” Remember the original scene with this song from “GREASE?”
Ingenuous Miss Minogue! There's some innocent, puppy love , and yet "up skirt," scenes in here, which you do so innocently! "Ooh baby baby"

Full marks for you Miss Minogue

Tears on my pillow was recorded by Little Anthony and the Imperials in 1958.

It became hugely popular when Sha Na Na sang this song in the movie Grease(1978)

You don't remember me

But I remember you
T'was not so long ago
You broke my heart in two


Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
Caused by you


If we could start anew
I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back
And tempt the hand of fate



Love is not a gadget
Love is not a toy
When you find the one you love
She'll fill your heart with joy

Caused by you

Wikipedia: "The Loco-Motion" is a 1962 pop song written by American songwriters Gerry Goffin and Carole King. "The Loco-Motion" was originally written for Dee Dee Sharp, but Sharp turned the song down.[1] The song is notable for appearing in the American Top 5 three times, each time in a different decade: in 1962 by the American pop singer Little Eva,(U.S. No. 1);[2] in 1974 by the American band Grand Funk Railroad (U.S. No. 1);[3] and finally in 1988 by the Australian singer Kylie Minogue (U.S. No. 3).[4]
The song is a popular and enduring example of the dance-song genre: much of the lyrics are devoted to a description of the dance itself, usually performed as a type of line dance. However, the song came before the dance.
"The Loco-Motion" was also the second song to reach No. 1 by two different musical acts. The earlier song to do this was "Go Away Little Girl", also written by Goffin and King. It is one of only nine songs to achieve this feat.[5]

I've always been one for the more meaty and complicated music. This one by Grand Funk Railroad.

Tom Petty- 20 October 1950-2 October 2017 RIP


I grew an appreciation for Tom Petty when he co-founded The Travelling Wilburies. I then began to visit his early works such as “American Girl,” and "Refugee(Tom Petty and the Heart breakers)

For me, the songs “Free Falling,” and “Handle me with care,” are remarkable works of art, and stand out.

Tom Petty: Free falling: 1989: Lyrics and video

She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Blvd.
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

Free fallin', now I'm free fallin'
Now I'm,
Free fallin', now I'm free fallin'

I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I'm gonna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for awhile

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
Oh! Free fallin'
Now I'm free
Oh!
Free fallin'

Travelling Wilburies: Handle me with care:1988: Lyrics and Video

Been beat up and battered 'round
Been sent up, and I've been shot down
You're the best thing that I've ever found

Handle me with care
Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
But baby, you're adorable
Handle me with care
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care

Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and dream on

I've been fobbed off, and I've been fooled
I've been robbed and ridiculed
In day care centers and night schools
Handle me with care


Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Handle me with care

I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care

Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and dream on

I've been uptight and made a mess
But I'll clean it up myself, I guess
Oh, the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care

My Tribute to Tom Petty

Champaign: How about us:1981: Lyrics and Video

Ooh, short and sweet
No sense in draggin' on past our needs
Let's don't keep it hangin' on
If the fire's out, we should both be gone

Some people are made for each other
Some people can love one another for life
How 'bout us
Some people can hold it together
Last through all kinds of weather
Can't we

Now don't you get me wrong (watcha you saying to me baby)
'Cause I'm not tryin' now to end it all (let's start something new)
It's just that I have seen (what have you seen)
Too many lover's hearts lose their dreams (we won't lose it)

Some people are made for each other
Some people can love one another for life
How 'bout us
Some people can hold it together
Last through all kinds of weather
Can't we

How about us, how about us baby
How about us, how about us baby
How about us, how about us baby
