Oh That Song!

December 1963 - Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons


Oh, what a night, late December back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember what a night!

Oh what a night,
You know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night!

Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh what a night,
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me
She was everything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Straining my head around and taking my body under

(Oh what a night!)

Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit

Oh what a night,
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Straining my head around and taking my body under

(Oh what a night!)

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Straining my head around and taking my body under
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit

Sugar Shack - Jimmy Gilmer & the Fireballs


There's a crazy little shack beyond the tracks
And ev'rybody calls it the sugar shack
Well, it's just a coffeehouse and it's made out of wood
Expresso coffee tastes mighty good
That's not the reason why I've got to get back
To that sugar shack, whoa baby
To that sugar shack.

There's this cute little girlie, she's a'workin' there
A black leotard and her feet are bare
I'm gonna drink a lotta coffee, spend a little cash
Make that girl love me when I put on some trash
You can understand why I've got to get back
To that sugar shack, whoa baby
To that sugar shack, yeah honey
To that sugar shack, whoa yes
To that sugar shack.

Now that sugar shack queen is a'married to me, yeah yeah
We just sit around and dream of those old memories
Ah, but one of these days I'm gonna lay down tracks
In the direction of that sugar shack
Just me and her yes we're gonna go back
To that sugar shack,
Whoa uh ohT
o that sugar shack, yeah honey
To our sugar shack

[Fade]

Yeh, yeh, yeh, our sugar shack

Ok.. this is kind of a sappy song.. but has a really nice beat to it and I just love a man that can hit a high note! Well... ONLY when singing!


Steelheart - I'll never let you go!

Angel eyes, you have angel eyes, such a smile
that lights up my life
You're a dream come true, now I'm holding you
And I'll never, never let you go, I will never let
you go!

First time I laid my eyes upon you, all my dreams
were answered

First time I kissed your tender
lips, my love to you I surrendered

Chorus:
I'll never let you go
you're always on my mind
You're the only one
for me, you're all I need
And I'll never, never let you go

Angel eyes, my heart relies on the
love you give to me
You never let me down, you're always
by my side and I'll never,
never let you go, I will never let you go

When my heart starts to crumble and the
tears start to fall
You hold me close with tender lovin',
and give me strength to carry on

chorus repeats 2 X

And I'll never, never let you go

Ok... you ever get in the car and turn on the radio and a song plays that is PERFECT to how you feel? And I always remember exactly where I was and what I was thinking when each song made an impact in my life.

I remember sitting on my bed, Indian style, when this song came on. I remember feeling a bit empty but also relieved. It was an odd combination. I guess that's when I figured out that this song to me really meant... most things are too good to be true!

yea... it's Friday - and I really shouldn't be this deep!

Poison - Every Rose has it's Thorn

We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside

Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess thats why they say

Chorus:
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Yeah it does

I listen to our favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the dj say loves a game of easy come and
Easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that youd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow
I guess

Chorus

Though its been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains

Solo

I know I could have saved a love that night
If Id known what to say
Instead of makin love
We both made our separate ways

But now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I guess

Chorus

Guess I better get on to something lighter. Right after my realization that life sucks... this song came on. I remember being in a car and listening to this with some friends and we had such a good time. We all sat quiet and sang the song together and after - never commented on the meaning.

Enjoy!

Lola by the Kinks



I met her in a club down in north Soho,
Where you drink champagne and it tastes,
Just like cherry-cola [ 3 ] , cee-oh-el-aye, cola.
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance,
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice,
She said, "Lola. El-Oh-El-Aye, Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola."

Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy,
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine,
Oh my, Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.
Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand,
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man.
Oh my, Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.

[ Short Instrumental break. ]

Well, we drank champagne and danced all night,
Under electric candlelight.
She picked me up and sat me on her knee,
And said, "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"
Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy,
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my,
Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.
Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.

I pushed her away. I walked to the door.
I fell to the floor. I got down on my knees.
Then I looked at her and she at me.

Well, that's the way that I want it to stay,
And I always want it to be that way for my,
Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls,
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for,
Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.

Well, I left home just a week before,
And I'd never, ever kissed a woman before.
But, Lola smiled and took me by the hand,
And said, "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man."

Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man,
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man, and so is,
Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.
Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.
Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.
Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.
Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.
Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola, Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.
[ Fade. ]
Lola...
