Post a song lyric from an obscure rock & roll band and see if anyone knows the band and/or the song w/o using Google

Last edited Sat Feb 17, 2024, 04:03 PM - Edit history (4)

(By obscure, I mean a relatively little-known band, either still playing & recording, or played & recorded at least one album in the past)




"In their search, the whole wide world they roam, they roam.
Is there no place, for a girl and her dog?"

"Down by the train tracks you can hear a mournful sound
The chattering of teeth is heard for miles around, around"

(Both are lyrics from the same song)

Their first two albums we straight up great, better than most late Yes. Some would say. Saw them open for Gary Wright and also Robin Trower... They pulled it off live as well.

Am I supposed to add a song now? If so:

"This is the sound of poisons
The sickness no one knows
No one is crying for us this time
Our shapes are blurring under miracles of snow
Weave a circle round him three times
You have to plan your moves at these times
Our hearts are breaking
One more song to go

These eyes are blind
This is a pure thing
These hands I kiss
Tragic as anything
These eyes are blind
This is a pure thing
All splash and hiss
Beyond my measuring"

That synth patch is so like Wakeman's Moog on "And You and I" from waveform to portamento.

Thanks for the reminder of a song/album haven't heard in a while.
Be sure to check out their 2nd album "Fountains of Light", if you haven't already. It definitely continues that 'Yes adjacent' style, and has a very interesting production. Funny that, to this day, they deny that Yes was any influence at all. Riiight...

Starcastle is to Yes like Triumvirate is to ELP. No harm nor shame in that at all. Glad to have all those options, myself.

A tune by Dave Wilcox. I heard this band in Owen Sound, CA in the early 90's doing this. tune. Band was the Bearcats. Had a big black dude named Jimmie that played harmonica. Totally awesome. He did a version of "Wind Cries Mary" that rivaled Jimmy Hendrix.

16. Kidney in a Cooler by Keller Williams
Thu Feb 15, 2024, 08:01 PM
Feb 15

Any Keller Williams fans?
So many great tunes to choose from, I went with this one...



Kidney in a Cooler
Keller Williams

A break in the schedule
Sufficient coolant leak
Well we thought we were doing the right thing
Now you cannot be too picky
In Cheyenne on a Sunday
Then up walked the mechanic
With the perpendicular teeth
Perpendicular teeth, oh yeah

By the 17th hour
They pulled us up in the bay
And funky tooth started diggin'
Down under the hood
After clearing a path to the water pump
And taking a four hour break
By hour 27 we were all good
Then we sailed from Little America, oh yeah

Only two days later
On the way down to Deep Elem
We broke down in Oklahoma
Where a wind come behind the rain
We got towed to a town called Perry
Where a woman's car took priority
She had a kidney in a cooler
So two nights we had to stay
So she could deliver the kidney, oh yeah

When you go down to Deep Elem
Down to the Gypsy Tea Room
Tell 'em I'm broke down in Perry
And I'll try to make it back soon
Oh sweet mama
Your daddy got them Deep Elem blues
Oh sweet mama
Your daddy got them Deep Elem blues

Now I know I will be paying
On the concept after it's through
Unrealistic, maybe
But there's something I gots to do
I need a big ass bus with a satellite dish
A double-decker double-wide what I wish
I dream open eyed
That this be true
My double-decker double-wide, oh yeah

It's gonna have two icemakers
In both refrigerators
A silent but violent generator
To run the subwoofers and the disco ball
The escalator up to the dance hall
On the second floor with a giant sky light
Driving range and jacuzzi just right
For skinny dipping right after the show
At 80 miles an hour
It's worth all the dough

Until then I'll stand on the corner
With a sign that says
I will work for my
Double-decker double-wide

Perpendicular teeth
In Little America
Deliver the kidney
In my double-decker double-wide

Or more lyrics by the same band:

Ain't no bunk. Chicken Funk. This ain't no bunk. Chicken Funk. Huh!

Edited to add small clue: The Mississippi sax player in the first song, and lead vocals in the seconds song was invited, along with his new band, to perform in the chorus of "We Are The World" a mere ten years later. He got promoted to a solo vocal spot when Prince chickened/flaked out in the wee hours of the night.

Second clue: The band's best-known album isn't its own album and the band isn't even in the credits. The band played back up on Elvis Costello's first album, but for contractual reasons, couldn’t be credited; the were initially identified as The Shamrocks in publicity releases (which is another amusing clue).

Last night, I had a crazy dream...
'bout a chick, in a black bikini.
Well, she looked so good, she couldn't be real...
She must be a magic genie!

But she disappeared around the corner...
All I saw were three doors, and the top of her bikini.
I made through the first door, there was a party going on...
I asked about the chick but what they said was freaky!

Some of you might kick yourselves once I reveal it. Some will never have heard of it. But, I will give you all a hint.

This tune was originally supposed to be on a Monkees album. But, the show was canceled and the album was canned. So, they used it for another band in another show.

Eighty men tried, and eighty men died...
Now they're buried together in the countryside.

How can I believe that everything in this world has it’s place in time?
When I lay down to sleep I feel the world spin
Slightly off axis, it’s shaped like a fig
And when I lay next to you I shiver and shake
You tell me you love me, I dream I’m awake

I remember the taste of you still in my mouth,
And in the stillness of an Oriente rainfall
I remember the warmth of you
Still in my arms,

There’ll just be you and me tonight.

Oh, so beautiful the night will be,
A country road and you and me.
The moon won’t have to shine tonight,
Your eyes will be our light.
There’ll be no rush, we’ll take it slow,
No matter where the road may go,
We’ll just drive on,
And meet the rise of dawn.

It hurts him to think that
She is hurting her by
Him being hurt to think (To think that he thinks)
That she thinks he is hurt (He is hurting her by)
By making her feel guilty (Making her feel guilty at hurting)
At hurting him by (Him by her thinking)
Her thinking she wants him (She wants him to want)
To want her, he wants her (Her he wants her to want)
To want him to get him (Him to get him to want)
To want him to get him (Her she pretends she wants)
To want her she pretends (Him to get her she wants)

There's one little thing you ain't gonna rob
That's my freedom, and my liberty

Well I ain't gonna piss in no jar

I wouldn't pee in their mouths if they were dying of thirst
Yeah we got to get rid of this evil curse

I live in a tent
With the world’s strongest man
When I met the mother
Like to broke my hand
My baby she’s a lady
In the high wire act
When I’m feeling tense
She walks on my back

Now the pays OKAY
The benefits are great
I get to shoot the bull
With the world’s smartest ape
