Paradise by the Dashboard Light

 

Never heard of it.  Looked it up.  Nice rockabilly tune.

This one isn't on my playlist, either.

OK.  I know this from the chorus:  "The Gambler."

That said, I then looked up the lyrics, and lo and behold, Raf's previous post showed up.  I've definitely heard the song MANY times, but either I just never listened to more than the chorus, or the first lines just didn't ring a bell without the melody.

Since I knew the song before googling, I'm taking the W.

This one may have been done recently, but

"Here she comes, just a-walkin' down the street..."

Long enough.

The Night Chicago Died

I actually had the line wrong.  It was "My daddy was a cop on the EAST side of Chicago."  Which is interesting, because the east side of Chicago is Lake Michigan.  :rolleyes:

New one (not the first line, which contains the title):

"I don't want to be your tiger, 'cause tigers play too rough.
I don't want to be your lion, 'cause lions ain't the kind you love enough"

I know Lord Badasss, demon hunter, is summoned whenever this song is played backwards.

When The Badger needed him summoned, they wondered what "the worst song in the universe" could be- but The Badger immediately claimed that Ham (the weather wizard) had it, and dug out his copy of "Red Sovine's Trucking Music." He began playing it backwards, saying it could only improve the song.  Sure enough, a few lines into "RAEB YDDET", the demon hunter appeared and saved the day.  Amazingly, back in ancient Babylon, they recited this exact same song to summon him! 

 

Personally, I think this song deserves better than THAT.  It's not one of the greatest, but it's a nice song.
