Lola

When I first heard the song 'Lola' by the Kinks it seemed obvious to me that Lola was really a transvestite, but I still thought that the song sounded cool and I also like to sing along whenever I hear it play.

This song was released in June 1970 and made it to #9 on the U.S. Billboard top 100 chart, and went to #2 on the UK Singles chart. It did make it to #1 on the Dutch, Italian, Irish, and the New Zealand Charts.

This version of the song was from a 70's show called Top of the Pops.



What do you think about this song?

Beach Baby

In the summer of 1974 John Carter and Gillian Shakespeare wrote the song "Beach Baby." The song was recorded by a band named 'The First Class' which peaked at #4 on the U.S. top 40 charts on October 5th.

When I first heard this song I thought that it sounded cool. I liked to sing along with it even though I wasn't sure what the words were in a certain verse, but with the help of a song lyric site, I now know that the words are: "The sun-tanned crew-cut all-American male."

It made me wonder how many other people had no clue about what that verse was. I just made up my own words, which of course, was totally off. I was singing something about an American mile.

I must confess to you that there were other verses that didn't quite sound like the real lyrics sounded, so of course my version of the song was a bit off.

Anywho ... Here is the video for you to watch and to sing along with if you feel the need to do so, but before you do you might want to find the 'real' lyrics on the web, unless of course, you have no problem understanding what they are singing during certain parts of this song.

Tie Your Mother Down

I have always been a big fan of the band 'Queen' since I first heard their songs. Freddie Mercury's voice sounded so awesome to me that I deemed him as the greatest male vocalist of all time.

The song "Tie Your Mother Down" is one of Queens songs that has a rocking beat and makes you want to get up and dance to it when you hear it play.



I am saddened that we had to lose Freddie to a man made disease which tragically was spread around the globe by an airline pilot in the 80's.

Gotta Keep A Runnin

The band 'The Godz' is a band from Columbus Ohio that was formed in 1976. Soon there was a problem because the band members unknowingly named their band 'The Godz' before they found out that there was already a band from New York with the same name. Because of this unseen problem there was supposedly a monetary settlement between the two bands, so that this Godz band wouldn't need to change their band name to something else.

I was unable to find any information about whether or not the song 'Gotta Keep A Runnin' ever made a showing on the Billboard Charts.

Run Joey Run

The song 'Run Joey Run' is a song about a teenage girl getting pregnant by her boyfriend Joey, which ended in tragedy.

You may find the lyrics unbelievable in this day and age, but believe it or not, this scenario was closer to being true back in the day when fathers took teenage pregnancy a lot more seriously.

This song was popular enough to make it to #5 on the U.S. billboard charts in 1975.

Over The Hills And Far Away

The song 'Over The Hills And Far Away' is one of my favorite songs sang by the Led Zeppelin band.

This song is on their 1973 'Houses of the holy' album. Even though this song only made it to #51 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, it is still a memorable song.

Due to a possible virus issue involving sites with song lyrics on them I will not be including song lyrics anymore. I apologize to those of you who look forward to it.

I also apologize for the commercial at the beginning of the video.

Disco Inferno

Music from the 70's was mostly cool sounding ... and then Disco music was added to the mix.

The song Disco Inferno made its debut in 1976 and was one of the cooler sounding Disco songs out there, and that is probably why I like this song.

You can find this song on the 'Saturday Night Fever' album, which came out in 1977. This song became successful in 1978 because of its exposure on that album.

Here is the video for you to enjoy.
