Got 'em. Friday on My Mind was originally by an Aussie band, the Easybeats, that really wasn't Australian and has been covered by almost everyone at some time. A couple members (including the writer) were Dutch and the rest were from England and Scotland.
Good job. Aw shit, there go visions of Phoebe climbing out of the pool again.
Next.


excuse me but

The Easybeats were a rock and roll band from Australia. They formed in Sydney in late 1964 and split at the end of 1969. They are widely regarded as the greatest Australian pop band of the 1960s and were the first Australian rock and roll act to score an international pop hit with their classic 1966 single "Friday on My Mind" (the folk-pop group, The Seekers, had international hits in 1965). Their manager was former Sydney real estate agent, Mike Vaughan.

The band's line-up exemplified the influence of post-war migration on Australian society. All five founding members were from families who had migrated to Australia from Europe: lead singer Stevie Wright and drummer Gordon "Snowy" Henry Fleet were from England; rhythm guitarist George Young was from Scotland; lead guitarist Harry Vanda and bassist Dick Diamonde were from The Netherlands.

"Friday" was co-written by Harry Vanda and George Young. With Dutch Vanda now having mastered English, he replaced the increasingly erratic Wright as Young's songwriting partner from this point on

SD, I thought I was saying basically the same thing. They all lived and performed in Australia, but had come from other countries. If it sounded otherwise, that wasn't my intent.

While someone comes up with the next full list, here's one quick passage to pass a little time.

In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me,
as you lick the boots of death born out of fear.
I don't believe you:
you had the whole damn thing all wrong
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays

Call it a PS to my last list.

Sfrebghd hfyjdb jhah fjkdiyrn g. OK I got my eyeballs back in my head. I guess there WAS a reason to keep striving. WOW! After my Nirvana confession, this will rank me up there on the all time dumb ass list, but WHO THE HELL WAS THAT???
On second thought, maybe she wasn't that good looking after all. I'd better go look at that another couple of hundred times just to make sure.
Homer says "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy."


Jeff, you must have posted that while I was slobbering on my keyboard answering 'Bob.
Nailed another one. I agree, that's always been one of my favorites too.

A bit of old, a bit of new, and a bit of cheese. A few easy ones, a few that might be tougher. But hopefully enough variety that it takes more than one person to guess them all. Anyway, without further ado:

1.
Declining numbers at an even rate
At the count of one we both accelerate
My stingray is light the slicks are starting to spin
But the 413's really digging in

2.
The glass was raised, the fired rose
The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
While at port adieu or die
A choke of grief heart hardened I
Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry

3.
Whatever happened to the life that we once knew
Can we really live without each other
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much

4.
Since you left me, I'm so alone
Now you're coming, you're coming on home
I'll be good like I know I should
You're coming home, you're coming home

5.
Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time?

6.
And when I woke
And felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair
With my grateful tears

7.
A different line every night guaranteed to blow your mind
See you out on the streets, call me for a wild time
So you sit home alone 'cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you

8.
Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and the radio
We didn't need no place to go

9.
Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you shes not breathing
Hello I am your mind giving you someone to talk to

10.
Under your spell again
I can't say no to you
crave my heart and its bleeding in your hand
I can't say no to you

Bonus.
Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me,
Callin me, all the time like Blondie
Check out my chrissy behind
It's fine all of the time

No theme per se, but like a chubby chaser, I have a thing for pears.

Looks like Keri Russell, maker of perhaps the all-time worst haircut decision in the history of the entertainment industry. She looked pretty darn good in "Waitress" recently, though.

I remember a big stink about an actress cutting off her long hair, but she was on a show I'd never watched...I guess I should have been. I tried making the title show up with my Magic Decoder Ring, but that didn't work either. Wink
Now to the list. Don't have much yet.
1. Da Beach Boys- Baby Shut her down (that's not quite right, but it's something like that.
3. The Beatles- Free as a Bird
4. The Beatles- No idea of the title.
8. Bon Jovi- ? This'n I should know

Roy Rogers on Trigger as far as the new list goes.

That was my title, with a 2 on the end.

bigpichost gave it the name "puwg0yoa0rl6lresgy0z". Damn bigpichost.

You can get the name when you try to save, or sometimes if you check the properties, as long as the host doesn't rename them.

This is the one with a 1 on the end.

Name or no name, she is simply beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to put these up. I believe you have the beginnings for a whole new thread here 'Bob.
