Tonk's, that was a yup to chcr, right?

Nah, I was waiting for confirmation. :P

Anyway, my lyrics:

Either that or brilliant googling skills!

Inkara1

I only googled it to make sure I was right. If I'd googled in the first place before making my guess, I wouldn't have posted because that's cheating.

AlphaTroll

Ink - I have Beastie Boys stuck in my head for some reason now thanks to yourlyrics.....THANK YOU!!!!

Inkara1
1/20/05, 07:13am
That's odd, since the lyrics I posted aren't by the Beastie Boys.

AlphaTroll
1/20/05, 07:23am
I know - it's completely unrelated...which is what is so annoying :/

Forgot who I think it is - Metallica? (Can't remember the name of the song...There is no escape and that's for sure This is the end we won't take any more Say goodbye to the world you live in
You have always bitchin but now you're givin.....argh buggerit, can't think right now)

My bad....but I be right, though? Is it my turn?

tonksy
10/09/07, 03:05pm
You know, I did find it odd that you would pick a JCM tune.

Yes'm, you be correct.

You know, I did find it odd that you would pick a JCM tune.

Nothing really against him, his bass player when he first hit it and I played in rival bands together at one time. His cover of Wild Night pales in comparison to the Van Morrison version though. Saw Van play it live once. Pee Wee Ellis was playing sax and he practically stole the show with a killer sax solo.

I'm at the Marriott. Gotta be in the ballroom in about an hour. Same tomorrow then drive back to the 'Boro Sunday. I knew there was a good reason to not start playing regularly again.

Just went to Jerry Sullivan's Steakhouse (est. 1872) for dinner. Excellent french dip.
