Quote from: "Gazoo"
For years I was under the mistaken impression that James Taylor had appeared on "Smile a Little Smile for Me" because of that line about "flying machines in pieces on the ground."


But you do know that he was in a band with that name... but SALSFM was by a diff outfit with the same name (Brits, iirc).

And Leon's getting LAAAAR-GER!  BOS3 "Tightrope", a welcome hit single for a cult artist at the time.

This is all well and good, but I hope we get something other than the usual suspects in here somewhere.

ETA: That is to say, not songs like "Ramblin' Man".  Even though I love the Allmans.

Agreed, but this is Billboard chart-based (top ten I think Dave said), so good luck with that.

I see.  Well, top 10 isn't gonna result in any surprises, I'd imagine.

"She'll wrap herself around you like a well-worn tire?"

Did I hear that correctly?

Dat be what he said, mon.  The patois is embarassing in this tune.  I used to love it, but...ick.  Of course, when I loved it, I had no idea what he was saying.  I think I thought he was saying "I'm a Girl".

ETA: I guess, not quite "ick".  It still sounds fantastic.

This is another candidate for alliterative song phrasing:

"Tell me what you wanted wit your white man's world"

Right up there with "little old lady got mutilated late last night."

Everybody's high on consolation. BOS5 H&O, a small masterpiece.

Yeah, this is good.  And no pun in the title.
