CHEESY SMILE TUNES…Guilty Pleasures PT. 5 or something like that

NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION…..

Another weekend approaches but in the FALL it seems so much more refreshing.

I can’t wait to watch my 4 year old girl play soccer as that is just a mess but its 4 year old soccer so that.   My 10 year old plays football and youth football is KEY so that too.

Just the feeling of being outside when the weather is nicer is just great to look forward to.  With that some tunes to sit back and let the breeze hit you while you reminisce back to a simpler time in your life.

I would KILL to know what they are talking about.

Some familiar some not so familiar and some that I just never get too much of.

Basically 70s and 80s tunes that I like and all are cheesy in their own cheesy way.   This could be lesser known songs by famous artists or THAT OTHER HIT.  Whatever just fucking listen.

Consider this Guilty Pleasures Part 5 or something like that and yes ASIA makes an appearance.

This should be in TWO PARTS…CHEESE and JAM…ENJOY!!!!

CHEESY SMILE TUNES

Gerry Rafferty – Right Down The Line *** JUST SMOOTH STILL***

“I just wanna say this is my way
Of telling you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way
of telling you that everyday
I’m loving you so much more”

Alan Parsons Project – Games People Play ***GOOD AM RADIO TUNE***

“Games people play, you take it or leave it

Things that they say, just don’t make it right
If I’m tellin’ you the truth right now, do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night”

Foreigner – Say You Will ***I FUCKING LOVE THIS VIDEO STILL***

“Now won’t you say you will, say you won’t make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you will be my guiding light”

Bee Gees – More Than A Woman

“This is the only way that we should fly
This is the only way to go
And if I lose your love I know I would die”

Kool and the Gang – Get Down On It ***THIS JUST BECAUSE ITS SMOOTH AND LOOK AT THEM***

“How you gonna do it if you really don’t want do dance?”

Three Dog Night – One

BONUS!!!! – Bee Gees – New York Mining Disaster 1941 ***ABSOLUTELY ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES AS IT BLENDS EVERYTHING RIGHT ABOUT MUSIC***

“I keep straining my ears to hear a sound
Maybe someone is digging underground
Or have they given up and all gone home to bed?
Thinking those who once existed must be dead?”

BONUS!!!! Three Dog Night – Shambala ***SING WITH ME***

“Ah, ooh ooh oo oo ooh ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, ooh ooh oo oo ooh ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah”

SOME 80s CHEESE….Like I might be the only person who secretly liked these songs.

Hall & Oates – Family Man

But he said, “Leave me alone, I’m a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite”

He said, “Leave me alone, I’m a family man
If you push me too far I just might”

Culture Club – War

“Now we’re fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Won’t somebody help me?”

SAGA – On The Loose

“I see no harm or danger in escaping
If the method suits the style
We put the mind on idle
And let the others take it for awhile”

Alan Parsons Project  - Eye In The Sky

“I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you, I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind”

TIME TO JAM

______________________________________________

AND NOW THE SECOND HITS FROM SOME 80s BANDS

ASIA – Don’t Cry

“So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever”

Night Ranger  - When You Close Your Eyes

“I remember
We learned about love
In the back of a Chevrolet
Well it felt so good to be young
It feels like yesterday”

The Outfield – Since You’ve Been Gone

“All I do is think of you I lie awake – lie awake
And no matter how I try this loneliness – you know I can’t take”

YES – Love Will Find A Way

“You wanna get next to me
I need your intrusion
I don’t need to be
Blinded by confusion”

Damn Yankees – Come Again ***FUCKING LOVE THIS JAM***

Swear I’ve been around the world
Every room is an empty space
In the darkness I see your face”

CHEERS!!!!! Have a good weekend as always

If We’re Evil or Divine We’re The Last in Line…Other Songs You Might Remember

I just want to ROCK...HARD....I am sitting here looking at Twitter trends and it makes me sick to see Adam Levine, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne trending.  As much as they want to think they are musically talented, they are not.  They have lame lyrics set to even lamer music.  Know this about today's music and I will put it in all caps to help you understand it better.  

MUSIC HAS LOST DEPTH.

SEE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And by "depth" I mean it has no feeling, no punch to it and no longevity.  I mean do you actually think 20 years from now you will be humming "Payphone" by Maroon 5 or "Stupid Hoe" by Nicki Minaj. (SEE LINK) 

http://musicinducedcoma.wordpress.com/2012/02/02/207/

Even rock names of bands and album covers are lame.  I saw a metal band named "Deadguy" the other day.  Real Original.  

And metal now is just who can grunt the most unintelligible....that is not music...sorry...

I posted album covers because I love them and they are much cooler then...

and now for the tunes.....I am purposely posting the lesser known tunes by these artists to prove my point that even lesser known songs by 80's artists still pack a punch today....ENJOY

I also posted them in their original form to bring you back to the days of MTV when you first saw these and rocked then.

One other note.....1981 was a damn good year for music

JUST ROCK PART TWO

I have to start out with the OTHER hit from The Knack

The Knack - Good Girls Don't (1979)

"And it's a teenage sadness
Everyone has got to taste.
An in-between age madness
That you know you can't erase
Til she's sitting on your face."



____________________________________________

Billy Squier - In The Dark (1981)

"You take no int'rest no opinion's too dear
You make the rounds and you try to be so sincere
You guard your hopes and you pocket your dreams
You'd trade it all to avoid an unpleasant scene
Can you face the fire when you see me there
Can you feel the fire will you love me in the dark"

____________________________________________

Blue Oyster Cult - Burnin' For You (1981)

"Burn out the day Burn out the night
I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong and what's right
I've seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through"

____________________________________________

Judas Priest - Heading Out To The Highway (1981)

(and yes I know the lyrics on these two song are gay but the songs rock and I don't give a shit.)

"Making a curve or taking the strain
On the decline, or out on the wain
Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later.
We'll put it to rights, we'll square up and mend.
Back on your feet to take the next bend!
You weather every storm that's coming atcha!"

____________________________________________ 

Judas Priest - Hot Rockin' (1981)

"Don't let it stop, don't let it end,
Please let it carry on and on and on again.
I get so high. Knocked off my feet, yeah!
This is the only way I want, I want, I want"

____________________________________________

Night Ranger - Don't Tell Me You Love Me (1982)

"It's taken miles and lines to learn the Right from the wrong
I keep you hanging on"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-4hp5HZ2aU

____________________________________________

Krokus - Screaming In The Night (1983)

"Sons of vengeance, can you rescue me
They got me tied up to a woe tree
They had me screamin' and alone in the night
I'm beginning to see what's wrong and what is right
What is wrong and what is right, oh, what is wrong and what is right"

____________________________________________

Dio - The Last In Line (1984) 

"We don't come alone
We are fire we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away"

____________________________________________

Mötley Crüe - Ten Seconds To Love (1983)

"Touch my gun but don't pull my trigger
Let's make history in the elevator
Or lock the door shine my pistol some more
Here I cum just ten seconds more"

____________________________________________

Skid Row - Monkey Business (1991) 

"Blind man in the vox that will probably die
The village kids laugh as they walk by
A psycho is on the edge of this human garbage dump
And the vultures in the sewers are telling Him to jump"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8_rq7bhbkQ


____________________________________________

Black Sabbath - Junior's Eyes (1978) 

and JUST LISTEN TO THIS UNDERRATED SONG by Black Sabbath....classic Ozzy ...just listen and I promise you will like...

This song was dedicated to Ozzy Osbourne's father, who died in 1977

"Junior's eyes looked into the skies once more
Now he knew well, this life was hell for sure
He desperately tried, his fingertips stretched to the stars
Reaching for reason, along with the time and the scars
Yeah!"

____________________________________________

Def Leppard - Rock Brigade (1980)

"So when they hit your town
You'd better get down
I'm telling no lies to you mister
'Cos they live for rock'n'roll
They'll try to steal your soul
Might even try to steal your sister, oh"
