Weekend Driving List: Here We Go

I've never been much of a Beatles fan, but this is a great song -- Ticket To Ride.

 

Steppenwolf. Man what a trip these guys were.

Why don't you come with me little girl
On a Magic Carpet Ride

Extended version, gotta-have for a road trip

 

Men At Work! Down Under



Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
And he said . . .

 

Buying Bread from a man in "Brr-r-r-ussels"
better get that trill goin'

 

Happy Friday, enjoy the weekend with some good vibes!

 

Boy!….memories!! Same to you!!

 

Here's another Steppenwolf great----a song that like Born To Be Wild, would make me want to get a chopper and head out on a road trip:

 

Oh yes!!

 

... no turnin' back...

Broke all the rules, played all the fools
Yeah yeah, they, they, they blew our minds
I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please?
Yeah the ladies were too kind
You've been...
Thunderstruck

 

Have always loved this song! Rock n Roll at its best!

 

John

john Kay just so, so cool
I have never seen this film clip

 

Before they called themselves, Chicago, they went by Chicago Transit Authority.

Their album under that name has a lot of excellent deep tracks that don't see much air time. Here is one of them:

 

Here are two more deep cuts from that album:
