Hey Guys how about some real muzic LOL  

Manic Mechanic by ZZTop LOL.

Now that's a bang you just have to see live   Lol

Holly

Just when you thought it was safe around here she's back! I have seen ZZ Top live (at Olympic Park) backed up by Rose Tattoo. great night, great songs, terrible echo sound due to the venue (band were great!). Personally La Grange does it for me! Love Billy's cars though (and the Hogzillas too)! The first Cad they started building is now downunder and finished (has been for ages actually)!

[grazza]

Well it certainly took you guys some time to get to the REAL Music, didn't it.  I've been sitting here waiting and finally the cream rose to the top - ZZ Top, you gotta love it!  It don't matter which song, as long as it comes from a ZZ Top album you got it right.  Dave your choice is way up near the top though.   Holly I was wishing you were gone, but now I may have to forgive you rambling ways [and all your LOL's] knowing where your listening pleasures lay!  We got to spend some time with Billy when the band came "downunder" back in early '80's [cant quite remember when it was] but remember it was a great day and he was fun to be around and appreciated his time with us as well I think.

If you don't like Rap, remember the first Rap song ever?

"Hot Rod Lincoln"

   

[rumrumm]

If Rap was like HOT ROD LINCOLN, A BOY NAMED  SUE, and RINGO (remember Lorne Greene's rendition) I wouldn't mind it so much. But music, art, and drama are all a matter of personal taste, so I won't denegrate it as a whole. It's just not for me. FYI, I don't like early country much either, except for Patsy Cline that is . She is great even by today's standards.

and RINGO (remember Lorne Greene's rendition)

Oh, boy, is that an oldie. I re-wrote the words for that one as part of an award ceremony for a youmg aborginal sailor on a ship I was on in the 70s. The young guy's name was Dingo. I remember the first verse.....

One day long ago on the Nullabor Plains,
An old moll sat down and coughed up her brains.
The sun was hot, the road was warm,
Nine months later there stood the spawn...
of Dingo,

Diiiinnngooooooo, DIngoooooo.


Wish I could remember the rest.

ZZ Top is definately my fav for cruizin', but I'm surprised that we haven't mentioned "Mercury Blues" by several artists, lastly I think done by Allan Jackson.
Did anyone else see the "Black Betty" video with the wicked coupe in it over on the HAMB a while back?

[Dave]

Do you mean the 35 Dodge Roadster in the 'Spiderbait' (Aussie band) version of Black Betty? Had a BB Chev in it. I have a version of 'Mercury Blues' here too. If you are into loud Black Sabbath's 'Die Young' is another goodie or just about any Chuck Berry album is full of good car songs.

] Yeah, that's the one, it was a roadster, with the top up, it's all coming back to me now...

[parklane]

Hey Joe, thats what the guy from Arkansas said when he peed into the wind "It's all coming back to me now"

[X38]

I'll take Mercury Blues from David Lindley.

Nope. Looks like a mighty fine list of musicians though.

I had no idea X38. I knew there was something I liked about you (apart from your car!).

No wonder you are president of the Aussie GAMB'ers
