Timothy ... A Song About Cannibalism

When I was a preteen I remember a song that I heard on the radio, which was kind of cool and gross at the same time.

The song "Timothy" was the song. It was written by Rupert Holmes, with the intention of it getting banned from air play.

This song only made it to #17 on the U.S. Billboard Charts back in 1971. The song was about 3 miners getting trapped in a mine because it collapses and then when they are finally rescued, there are only 2 miners.

When you listen to the song you will find out what happened to the third miner named Timothy

No Matter What

The band Badfinger came out with some really good songs during the early 70's. The song, 'No Matter What', was one of them.

The tragedy of the suicidal deaths of two of the former band members, who were also the lead vocalists, came as a shock to many, who weren't aware of the troublesome things that those two band members had been experiencing, with the manager of the record labels.

I liked this song because I thought that it was a cool love song, which was a bit rocking for a love song, if that makes any sense.

These are the lyrics, just in case you want to sing along with the video:

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl, oh girl with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found girl, oh girl won't you
Knock down the old brick wall, and be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all, as I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter where you go
There will always be a place
Can't you see in my face girl, oh girl don't you
Knock down the old brick wall, and be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all, as I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl, oh girl want you
Oh girl, you girl, want you
Oh girl, you girl, want you
