Screw Politics Name a Favorite Song

Sick of politics? Me too! Name a favorite song from any band. Some things just need to be done.

I'm not the biggest Aerosmith fan. But I love this live version of Train Kept a Rollin'

This will get your mind off politics, "I'm in heat with a hoe"

"pretty from New York City"

I was in car with 3 other coworkers coming back from lunch and this song came on. I put it on really loud and all four of us were rocking our heads to it. It was a really goofy work moment.

I have another funny Metallica story. I was working for Intel Corporation and I had a Sony Walkman. I was listening to Ride the Lightning really loud. The vibration from the music caused one of my fillings to come out. There were bits of metal in my mouth. As I was tasting the metal bits in my mouth I thought, "Metallica!"

Below are a few of my all time favourites, now that you know my music you have the key to my heart, be gentle.

American Pie by Don McLean
Who said that you can't go back by Jon Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles
We Weren't Born to Follow by Jon Bon Jovi
Sangria by Blake Shelton
Little Lies by Fleetwood Mac
Angel by Sarah McLachlan
Rhiannon by Stevie Nicks
Black water by The Doobie Brothers
Bullets in the gun by Toby Keith
Toes in the Sand by Zac Brown Band
People Are Crazy by Billy Currington

LOL!! That band is a parody of itself!

The lyrics to American Pie are really amazing. Those are all good songs!

A long long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But, that's not how it used to be

When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me

Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned

And while Lennon read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
And singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast

It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance

'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
And singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again

So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend

Oh and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell

And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away

I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken

And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

They were singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die

The way this song starts, how the instruments are stepping in one after another, when you hear it you will rock your head, unless you are dead.

Walkman

Must have been a while ago!

That's a great song. However, in today's politics, the following lyrics:

And the parting on the left
Is now parting on the right

becomes

And the parting on the right
Is now parting on the left
