Top Ten Songs To Wait With:

[deadwood]

"Wish You Were Here" - Pink Floyd

[knownuthin]

Here’s an update of songs, which reference locations I selected. The list is not in order of my preference, for city or song. It is also not totally inclusive of my selections. I don’t know any songs about Paducah and a few other locations.

Wichita Lineman – Glen Campbell
Take Me Home To Tulsa – (I like the Asleep At the Wheel version)
Route 66 – (Chicago, St. Louis, OK City is oh so pretty)
Houston – Dean Martin
Carolina In My Mind – James Taylor (Charlotte, Raleigh, Columbia, Greenville, Charleston
Sweet Home Alabama – Lynard Skynard (Birmingham)
Walking In Memphis – Marc Cohn
Nashville Cats – Lovin Spoonful
Burn On – Randy Newman (“There's a red moon rising
On the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake”)

Run For the Roses – Dan Fogelburg (Louisville)
Indiana Wants Me – R. Dean Taylor (Indianapolis, Evansville)
Country Roads – John Denver (“Almost heaven, West Virginia”)
Dayton, Ohio 1903 – Randy Newman

My songs are for the upcoming June cert.

"Please Come to Boston" Dave Loggins
"Time in New England" Barry Manilow
"Old Cape Cod" Patti Page
"Boston" Augustana
"Massachusetts" BeeGees
"Dirty Water" The Standells

And the night the lights all went out in massachusetts (BeeGees)

(Ducking)

[aaa]

Another song to wait with: Help Me Make it Through the Night

And if we all make it: All My Rowdy Friends

[testtaker]

With all this wondering about whether the calls will start tomorrow (as per Pix) or not (as per JaggHagg), I think tonight's song will be "Whatever gets you through the night" by John Lennon.


(great audio, but very weird video)

[skibum]

Two possible additions for consideration:

For Knownuthin (and Morgullord, too): "Oh, Atlanta" by Little Feat

For all of us, the subject of the song may be different, but many of the symptoms are the same: "Shook me All Night Long" by AC/DC.

[booboo]

I think Govtattorney got it right with Journey's "Don't Stop Believing." And with a tip of the hat to David Chase of "The Sopranos" fame, I hope everything doesn't "go to black" for me if I don't get the call and instead receive a Dear John letter. Not to go too far afield, but is there general agreement here among fans of "The Sopranos" that Tony was whacked in the final episode? Just curious.

Boo Boo

[cybear]

I have always found the music of Steely Dan to be inspirational waiting music. Wouldn't you agree? For example, consider these songs:

Any World That I'm Welcomed To
Rikki Don't Lose That Number
New Frontier
King Of The World
Boston Rag
Caves Of Altimira
Black Friday (perhaps, too pessimistic)
Sign In Stranger
Any Major Dude Will Tell You

and saving the best for last...

Pretzel logic

[Litigator]

I suggest we adopt PARTY TRAIN by the Gap Band (1982) as our anthem for Monday, Feb. 25th, 2008. It's tough to argue against lyrics such as these --


All aboard

Every all aboard
Anybody wanna take this ride
Anybody wanna ride
All it takes is a [single phonce call]

Be sure to get your ticket
Hurry, don’t miss it
Everybody’s got to stand in line
So make sure that you too will be right on time

Everybody all aboard
Everybody all aboard

Mmm
Mmm
All aboard

Don’t you miss it, baby
If you miss that train
Don’t miss the party train
Oh...don’t you miss it, baby
If you miss that train
Don’t miss the party train

Everybody all aboard
Oh...baby
Everybody all aboard
Mmm

Don’t you that train
If you miss that train
Don’t miss the party train
Oh...ho...ho...ho...
If you miss that train
Don’t miss the party train

Your ticket, ooh
Mmm, mmm
Everybody all aboard
Ho...ho
Everybody all aboard

Every all aboard
Anybody wanna take this ride
Anybody wanna ride
All it takes is [one phonce call]

Every all aboard
Anybody wanna take this ride
Anybody wanna ride
All it takes is a [single phone call]

All aboard

Hee...
Hee...hee...
Ho...ho

Get down, get down, get down tonight
We’re gonna party, gonna party on the train tonight
Get down, get down, get down tonight
We’re gonna party, gonna party on the train tonight

Get down, get down, get down tonight
We’re gonna party, gonna party on the train tonight
Get down, get down, get down tonight
We’re gonna party, gonna party on the train tonight

Huh
Huh
Huh
Huh

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get on board
Hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, gotta come get on board, baby

Everybody all aboard
Get your ticket, don’t you miss that train
Everybody all aboard
Get your ticket, don’t you miss that train

Everybody all aboard
Get your ticket, don’t you miss that train
Everybody


Feel free to sua sponte modify the lyrics as you deem appropriate. No doubt the song will be running through my head on Monday while I'm in federal court with my cell phone turned off.

[knownuthin]

I'm just going to put my cell phone on vibrate and wait for those "Good Vibrations." ;D

[knownuthin]

One final song to contemplate, should you or I get a phone call with an offer (hopefully this week).

"Should I Stay or Should I Go" by The Clash

“Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know”

I intend to beat Peejay’s time of 0.08 seconds to accept an offer. “So come on and let me know”

GP: As you may have guessed, "Blues Brothers" is another of my absolute tip-top favorites of all time but I would have to give the nod to "Animal House". Thanks! CTB

I may have to start a thread about favorite movies now, so that I don't derail this thread any further. But, just for the record, the top 5 funny flicks for me is rounded out by "Stripes", "40 Year Old Virgin", "Talladega Nights", and National Lamthingy's "Vacation." ;D

I wasn't really into this thread, and didn't keep up with it. But I thought of a great song, and I am going through to see if someone already said it. And I have to give my 5 favorite comedies. Sorry for continued derailment.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Groundhog Day
Airplane
Stripes
Blazing Saddles

[Propmaster]

OK, I didn't see my choice.

Pressure, by Billy Joel.

[knownuthin]

Hey Props,
I second your movie selections. I would make one addition, Caddy Shack.

Carl Spackler: Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper (decision writer), now, about to become the Masters champion (ALJ). It looks like a mirac... It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole! ;D

[crazybroad]

Queen:

Under Pressure

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love
Cos love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure

Don't forget "Bad Sneakers."

[conanthebarbarian]

"A wed wose. How womantic!"

-Lilli von Shtupp, "Blazing Saddles"

I would just add one:

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains
Yes he still remains

Since we are still waiting:
I love Simon and Garfunkel, and listened to "The Boxer" et al, including this one, another of my favorites, on my road trip to/from Atlanta this past weekend:

"Well, those drifter's days are past me now, I've got so much more to think about, deadlines and commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out. Against the wind, I'm still running against the wind, I'm older now, but still running against the wind."
-- Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
(love the Silver Bullet Band, too, with the keyboard and sax and drums) ;D

AMEN to that!

And let's not forget Chain Lightning or The Goodbye Look (in honor of Raul, I suppose)

Well, not bad, but now that it is Tuesday, February 26th, let's go with LOVE TRAIN by the O'Jays.....circa 1972:

People all over the [BOARDs] (everybody)
Join hands (join)
Start a love train, love train
People all over the [BOARDS] (all the [Board] , now)
Join hands (love ride)
Start a love train (love ride), love train
The next stop that we make will be OFFERS

Don't you know that it's time to get on board
And let this train keep on riding, riding on through
Well, well
People all over the [BOARDS] (you don't need no money)
Join hands (come on)
Start a love train, love train (don't need no ticket, come on)
People all over the [BOARDS] ( ride this train)(Ride this train, y'all)

Join hands (come on)
Start a love train, love train

(And for those who are sooooooooo much younger than those of us who can sing along to something from 1972, the replaced word is "world".)

....Now, back to my cauldron.
