NAME THAT ROCK or ROLL SONG

[Human without the bean]

The rockin world go round

Hey, listen here

Now I got mortages and homes

And I got stiffnes in my bones

Ain't no beauty queens in this locality (I tell you)

Oh, but I still get my pleasure

Still get my greatest treasure

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen?

[Human without the bean]

Who is to blame in one country?

Never can get to the one

Dealin' in multiplication

And we still can't feed everyone

Oh God we've got to rock down to...

[Human without the bean]

Now in the street, there is violence

And-and there is lots of work to be done

No place to hang out our washing

And-and I can't blame all on the sun

Who is to blame in one country?

Never can get to the one

Dealin' in multiplication

And we still can't feed everyone

Oh God we've got to rock down to...

Let me put one up for WordWolf, respectively:

Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry

Don't see the time flashing by

Honey, got no money

I'm all sixes, and sevens and nines

Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider

You can be my partner in crime

Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me

[Human without the bean]

Women try to taste me, but their always tryin' to waste me

And make me burn the candle right down

But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown

Cause all you women is low down gamblers

Cheatin' like I don't know how

But baby, I go crazy, there's fever in the funk house now

This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin'

You know, you know the deuce is still wild

Baby, I can't stay, you go to roll me

Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry

Don't see the time flashing by

Honey, got no money

I'm all sixes, and sevens and nines

Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider

You can be my partner in crime

Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me

[Human without the bean]

The eagle picks my eye

The worm he licks my bones

I feel so suicidal

Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones

Black cloud crossed my mind

Blue mist round my soul

Feel so suicidal

Even hate my rock n' roll

A Beatles fan should know this.

It's "Yer Blues" from the white album. It was kind of morbid for the type of music they put out (The Beatles).

Was that ever released as a single? I realize that this thread doesn't have the "airtime" requirement that "Name that Tune" does, but it seems a pretty obscure album cut (even though the album is pretty well-known).

Well yes and no. In 1968 Lennon performed on The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll circus with Keith Richards and Eric Clapton on a British TV special but it never aired. It was released on video in 1996 and dvd in 2004.

Here's a pretty easy one I think.

When evening rolls around

And it's time to go to town

Where do you go to rock n' roll

The old folks say that ya gotta end date by ten....

What's the question ? for George? You got it.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

He must know somethin' but he don't say nothin'

He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along.
