Now listening to a 2025 remaster of a big old epic fave by Dubfire Motorcycle and me Motorcycle set me free My motorbike don’t go too fast Just sets me free.... Just you and me Just sets me free.... I feel warm inside On my motorcycle The wind is all around We are free Me And my motorcycle We We are free You set me high....
Switching genre like this is going to make me airsick.... Love what my girl J.J. did with this old 60s song by Tommy James & the Shondells. One small reason why she finally made the Rock Hall of Fame....
Oh yeah. Love that contrast, verses to chorus. But that bass just smooths it all right out. Probably shoulda posted this in the 60s thread. Thinkin' about somebody. Two somebodies, raven-haired and butter-blonde beauties.
Big clue that I spent way too much time in San Antonio. The blonde dude who introduces this also sang lead on "She's About a Mover" right up ^there^. Doug Sahm, aka Sir Douglas.
Proof that at least a few Tejanos can actually speak Spanish. The man who is smokin' that accordion, Flaco Jimenez (RIP) was a Grammy award winner. Freddy Fender (RIP) on the opening vocals. Doug Sahm again, in the shades. Voy ya cantar estos versos / I'm gonna sing these verses Aunque yo no soy de aqui / Although I'm not from here Yo soy puro Mejicano / I am pure Mexicano Soy de San Luis Potosí / I'm from San Luis Potosí Caminando y caminando / Walking and walking He llegado a San Antonio / Arriving in San Antonio Me encontre muy buen trabajo / I met with a very good job Y tambien con el demonio / And also with the devil Found me a little Tejanita And I fell in love with her She was so bonita And I had to marry her Then she took off to Laredo And she called me from Nuevo León She said "Send me some more money So I can come back home." Flaquito! Ya me voy para mi tierra / Now I'm leaving for my homeland Aunque pobre es mi nación / Although my country is poor Pero si, les aseguro / But yes, I assure you Que alla manda el pantalón. / That there the pants rule. Ahí les dejo a mi Tejana / I left my Tejana back there No la pude soportar / I couldn't stand her Hay que la toree el diablo / May the devil take her A ver, si el la puede aguantar. / Let's see if he can handle her. Now I'm back in my homeland Back where I was born One thing I know for sure now Many wear the Pantalóns I left her in old San Antonio 'Cause I could not afford her Hay que la toree el diablo / Let the devil take her A ver, si el la puede aguantar. / Let's see if he can handle her. She belongs to el diablo He can have her, I don't want her any more.
