Name the song and artist

[Doc50]

“If I can just get off of this LA freeway
Without gettin killed or caught”

Can’t remember the artist.

Ok — here’s some favorite lyrics:

“Drive west on Sunset to the sea,
Turn that jungle music down
Just until we’re out of town.
This is no one-night stand, it’s a real occasion;
Close your eyes and we’ll be there,
It’s everything they say,
The end of a perfect day,
Distant ships from across the bay.”

I think it should be “ Distant lights from across the bay.”

In early memory mission music
Was ringing 'round my nursery door.
I said take this child, Lord, from Tucson, Arizona,
Give her the wings to fly through harmony,
And she won't bother you no more.

Give her the wings to fly through harmony,
And she won't bother you no more.

This is a great thread. I hope it goes on for a very long time. I don't know most of the lyrics because I don't listen to the same music as most. It's still fun to try and put a voice to some of those lyrics and when you do, BAM you solved a Rubic's Cube.

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see

Great song, Three Dog Night: "Mama Told Me not to Come"

Ok, adding more:

This is the story of how we begin to remember,
This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein,
After the dream of falling and calling your name out,
These are the roots of rhythm
And the roots of rhythm remain.

Paul Simon! I can't remember the name of the song. Gotta look in my library. It's from the Graceland CD. Under African Skies!

This is the story of ..... a man named Jed ....
This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein,
After the dream of falling and calling your name out,
These are the roots of rhythm
And the roots of rhythm remain.

I thought I had it from the first line, but then everything got weird

Hi Xelda!

Uh oh, you quoted Xelda's post before she edited it. Now we all know she was wrong the first time!!!

Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course.

The theme to Mr. Ed?

Talk to Mr. Ed.

 

[OmerV]

The theme to Mr. Ed?

lol - yep. I admit to not knowing all the words myself, so I looked it up. The only ones I knew would have been a dead giveaway. But I made my weak Beverly Hillbillies joke above, and it got me thinking about TV theme songs, and Mr. Ed popped into my head. Any part of the Hillbillies theme song would have been too easy.

Oh it seemed like a holy place
Protected by amazing grace
And we would sing right out loud
The things we could not say

Ricky’s been kickin the gong,
Lickety-split, didn’t take too long,
A junkie’s sick, the monkey’s strong,
That’s what’s wrong.

Well I guess he’s been messin around downtown
So sad to see the boy losin ground,
Windin down behind closed doors
On all fours.
