This was a band that might have been considered "Dinosaur Sr."

Rare Earth had an album cover with a bunch of cavemen on it. Survival I think.

This doesn't sound like one of theirs to me.

...is not the name of the song.

You have an artist, want to take a shot at the song?

Or is this some sort of drive-by?

I know we're a bit off-road from what we normally do,

but I think you can name it.

Yes we are. :offtopic:/>

Isn't that name of a tune by the group ~Train~? Drive BY Ha Ha

I made my guess of the title earlier ("Vampire for Your Love"). I thought that you OKed that, so I was guessing at the artist form you "Dinosaur, Sr." clue.

To quote Marvin from Pulp Fiction:

Man, I don't even have an opinion!

I'm just messing with you guys.

Whole song with title or partial title redacted:

Let me tell you 'bout a place

Somewhere up-a New York way

Where the people are so gay

REDACT

Here they have a lot of fun

Puttin' trouble on the run

Man, you find the old and young

REDACT

They're REDACT

Everybody's feelin' great

They're REDACT

They're REDACT

Here's a man in evening clothes

How he got here, I don't know, but

Man, you oughta see him go

REDACT

He's dancin' with a chick in slacks

She's movin' up and back

Oh, man, there ain't nothin' like

REDACT

They're REDACT

Everybody's feelin' great

They're REDACT

They're REDACT

Let's REDACT a while

Lean up

Lean back

Lean up

Lean back

Watusi

Now fly

Now REDACT

REDACT

Here's a fella in blue jeans

Dancin' with an older queen

Who's dolled up in her diamond rings and

REDACT

Man, you oughta see her go

REDACT to the rock and roll

Here you find the young and old

REDACT

They're REDACT, man

Everybody's feelin' great

They're REDACT

REDACT

One more time

Lean up

Lean back

Lean up

Lean back

Watusi

Now fly

Now REDACT

Here's one:

I wanna tell you about the girl I love

My she looks so fine

She's the only one I've been dreamin' of

Maybe someday she will be all mine

I want to tell her that I love her so

I thrill with her every touch

I need to tell her she's the only one I really love

It is Led Zeppelin. I may have done this one last year. The song was the only non-album track during Led Zeppelin's career.

I really didn't know the title to the track until I started searching for it...that was a few years ago now.

Here's a couple more lines.

A got a woman, she won't be true, no no

A got a woman, wanna ball all day *[ oh my! what will the sensors do?]

I got a woman, stay drunk all the time

I got a little woman and she won't be true

( ___ ___ ____ ___ _ __)

Listen closely can you hear the name of the tune?

You've got it.

The band was "the Spinners" ("the Detroit Spinners" for UK releases.)

That's embarrassing, ~The Spinner's~ of course.

Choose yourself a partner

From the middle of the floor

Blow a little kiss

To the woman next door

Step on the gas

Put your head in the air

make a "V" sign

And you throw back your hair

Put your hand on your hip

Now you let your back bone slip

Put out your tongue

Put your head in the air

Make a "V" sign

And you just don't care

Bragging rights if you (anyone) can get this one!

Now you feel free you gotta lose control

All Gods children got some soul

You don't have to think

you don't have to move a muscle

To do the brow beating, heavy, leather,

A few more lines......

And you throw back your hair

Think about nothing

Now your nice and high

Your advocating love but you don't know why

Now your getting vibrations all down to your feet

That's the brow beating heavy leather

Put your hand on your hip

Now you let your back bone slip

Put out your tongue

Put your head in the air

Make a "V" sign

And you just don't care

Now you feel free you gotta lose control

All Gods children got a little bit of soul

You don't have to think

you don't have to move a muscle

Tom Jones did a cover of this 70ish song. Added more lines too.
