The Drive, 3/24/09: 1980

[RGMike]

good excuse to listen to KPOO for JJ's Tuesday '60s hour.

[RGMike]

Blues Brothers - Gimme Some Lovin' 
Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love 
Van Halen - And the Cradle Will Rock 
Jackson Browne - That Girl Could Sing 
Journey - Walks Like a Lady 
Police - When the World is Running Down 
Manfred Mann - For You 
R.E.O. Speedwagon - Keep On Loving You 
Billy Joel - Don't Ask Me Why 
Pretenders - Mystery Achievement 

Well, kudos on "Mystery G-Man", and the relatively rare Manfred Mann, but still, that's something of an AOR crapfest with the Blues Bros as Top-of-the-Hour-Krappers.

I've never heard of that Journey song.  Cheese?

[RGMike]

I've never heard of that Journey song.  Cheese?

Dude walks like a lady!



actually, one of their less-bombastic tracks.

[Tinka Cat]

I've never heard of that Journey song.  Cheese?

well, of course -- it's journey not "when they were good" 

it's a sorta fake jazz shuffle, but the band still had Gregg Rolie on keys at the time, so it was the "classic lineup" some would say:

I like it the song, but the lyrics make sure you know the lady is under Steve Perry's control:



Walks like a lady,
with her tender charms.
She moves like a lady
When I'm in her arms.
She loves like a lady,
lovin' all night long.
She cries like a baby
when she's done something wrong.


I told you once, yes, I told you twice
but you never listen to my advice
I catch you walkin' with that boy again
I'm gonna set you free.
Oh, I'm gonna set you free.


Loves like a lady,
So soft and slow.
She feels like a lady,
Ooo, I can't let go.
She smiles like a lady,
Smilin' all night long,
But cries lake a baby
when she's done something wrong.


(chorus)


Walks like a lady
Oh, but she cries like a little girl
Walks like a lady
Yes, but she cries like a little girl
Walks like a lady,
walks like a lady
cries like a little girl
