Nope. I am 45. They were listening to it in the 1960s, when it was a big deal for older people to listen to any rock and roll.
" Honey "
See the Tree how big it's grown
But Friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big.
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it
Was just a Twig
Then the first Snow came
And she ran out to brush the Snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed 'til I cried
She was always young at Heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a Puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve
Some Years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came home from workin' late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly
Late, late Show
And Honey I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

Should I just duck, or run?
For all out guitar, The Outlaws' "Green Grass and High Tides" is a winner. About 10 minutes of solid overlapping guitar licks.
Uughh....
Both. Now.
Speaking of Dire Straits, I always liked the opening of "Walk of Life"... No guitar licks but it is still kinda cool and in the right frame of mind, it'll get me going.
Well, thank you for that, Skooz. I started feeling really old there for a second. My MIL loves Credence, and she's 78. Music makes the world go 'round, eh?
Same here.
Anything by George Thourogood and the Destroyers or Bo Diddley will get my foot to tapping.
" I Drink Alone !!!"
*snicker* One of my favorite scenes in that movie!!
For some good Doobies I'd recommend the Vices/Habits album and Stampede. Songs such as Road Angel, Neal's Fandango. Any Doobies, pre-Michael MacDonald.
One of the fondest memories I have is one of the only times I carried the ball in a football game, the band busts into "25 Or 6 to 4", and the music pumps me up for an extra 15 yds and a touchdown. The only touchdown I scored in my sophomore year.
Thorogood totally kicks ass on old Hank's "Move It on Over." I saw him and Bo together in a bar about 20 years ago. Not too shabby!
I bet that was a great show!

JAMBALAYA
Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh.
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou.
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin',
kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen.
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
and I'll catch all the fish in the bayou.
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

"Swamp Music" COOKS!!! If you want to hear another great piece of guitar heaven, listen to "Come On a My Kitchen" on Shades of Two Worlds by the Allman Bros. An' while your at it, don't miss DESERT BLUES!!
Anybody post that lyric ought to take his ground and take his lickin's....
"When I hear the first notes of "Stairway to Heaven" or "Smoke on the Water," I lunge for the radio dial. Enough is enough. When I hear the first notes of "Sweet Home Alabama," well, I turn it up."
When I read this I thought, "Really! This is so true!" And just proves the point that "Sweet Home Alabama" is, indeed, the greatest Rock and Roll song of all time!
"And what whiny, sniveling, condescending hippie song ever deserved a rebuttal more than Neil Young's "Southern Man"?"
Don't forget that Neil Young is a Canuck from Canuckistan! Just like Peter Jennings. And so many other America-haters.
