That was a high energy song!  With some very hefty ladies!

I woke up this morning with this song from the 60's in my brain.  It's still there.

This group came along in the 70's and disappeared a few years later.  But while they were together they made some pretty good music.

Sweetums is a big fan of this group.  They were popular during the 60's and 70's.  Most of them are dead now but the main songwriter is still going.  Last night this song entered my head and kept me awake in the early hours.

a song with minibikes and Gorillas!

[hardrockminer]

Well that was interesting!  I kept waiting for the mini bike to take off but it didn't.

If you like laid back country music you would have liked this song from the sixties.

[hardrockminer]

This is a high energy rock and roll song with lyrics that parody an American song.  Great lyrics!

Three Dog Night made this song popular but they didn't write it.  This guy did. It's a nonsense song but it made a lot of money for the writer.

[hardrockminer]

This song is about a guy who wrote a book and was looking for someone to publish it.  I find the guitar work exceptional.  It's the sound that I apppreciate...perfect for the song.

[hardrockminer]

I've always liked this song about a guy who is a bit of a dreamer.  The singer has a perfect voice for the lyrics.
