Blue Autumn, lovely! I guess I'm still waiting for my first love... had my share of infatuations, tho. There sure are a lot of love songs out there! Excellent thread. |

Blue Autumn--back in 1966, yeah, I'm old...just met my future wife...Bobby Goldsboro was singing it--a really, really beautiful ballad.
Good listening,

'Paradise By The Dashboard Light', by Meatloaf. It was recorded WAY after the fact, but hit the nail on the head(except-I was thirteen, not, "barely seventeen")! (http://new.music.yahoo.com/meatloaf/tracks/paradise-by-the-dashboard-light--682333) |

Snofun3,
"Driving in my car" by NRBQ. A shame they only really remained a local band.
I'll tell you this, even though it dates me...
Terry Adams, founder of NRBQ, was a good friend in High School.
He started into music by playing trumpet, but didn't really have the 'chops' to play very well. BUT, he was very bright guy, with a 'fashion sense' of music--and took up piano--emulating Jerry Lee Lewis (why I don't know, as I'm not a fan of Jerry's banging style).
He'd call me and say, "Come over, I've got a drummer and bass player coming over, we can jam."
Not really liking his sort of 'hillbilly rock'n roll' I'd usually decline until he agreed to play some jazz too. At that time, I was into Cannonball and Parker and other jazz greats--and frankly he was curiously a 'Monk' fan too.
That year, we played in the Fall Talent Contest at our High School...playing a Jazz version of the Song 'Tonight', from 'West Side Story'. Great fun. It's amazing how many girls who'd never spoken to me before came up and said, 'Wow, that was good, I didn't know you played, Larry.'
That reaction, as much as my love of music 'sold me' on being an Alto player. lol.
NRBQ, I believe actually, became an East Coast player--AND they've had dozens of albums over the years.
PS. Most of Terry's music is a blueprint from what he did in those Salad Days of summer more than 30 years ago.
Good listening,

"Cactus Tree" by Joni Mitchell. She was busy being free. |
The Chauffeur - Duran Duran
Great song. Great lyrics. Inscrutable yet deeply profound. |
Mofimadness,
You and I must have been dating the same woman, as we wore out a copy of Captain Fantastic while making out in her parent's basement. She was a pretty good piano player and loved Elton John, and her dad had a nice rig down there to listen to while he lifted weights.
Our song, though, was definitely Tiny Dancer from Madman Across the Water. She was about 5'1" and had great legs from fencing.

Hey Tpreaves, Can't say I remember "You Broke My Heart, So I Busted Your Jaw" by Spooky Tooth, but I gotta give it a listen -- just because the title sounds so cool. |
"On The Street Where You Live" from "My Fair Lady."
Regards,

Amen Paul,that women are more romantic stuff is a total load of BS.
What they are is more sentimental and sentiment is not love,far from it.
You can bet the farm on the fact she has no memory of it,none whatsoever. |
"Love" by Mercy
"A Time For Us" Theme for Romeo and Juliet
"Jean" From The Prime of Miss Jean Brody

Oops, I see you're the OP Paul. My bad. |
I was 12, so was Gina. She was playing the guitar and singing at the campfire late at night, just the two of us.
I've heard the song 12 million times since then, and have thought of the late night campfire with Gina every single time.
And yes, I wonder if she even remembers the night, or me. This stuff about women being more romantic is simply wrong.
Paul_graham And the song would be???? |

Noble, did I mention I also had a crush on (1) Raquel Welch, (2) Jane Fonda (Barbarella ??, exercise records) and (3) Ellen Foley (sang with Meatloaf; she did a great video with the "Loaf" singing Paradise By The Dashboard Light). There were many others. My memory is failing.
BTW, I see that an A'gon member's handle is "Raquel." I wonder if that is R Welch?? |
Bifwynne,
Gloria did look kind of like Linda Ronstadt facially but not otherwise. And she was always wearing cut off jeans with bare feet not roller skates.
I recall her looking more like a young and tanned Raquel Welch. Gloria's gotta be about 60 years old now. Good thing I've had her young image permanently imprinted in my mind since I was a horny teenager. |
