Name that tune...
Seems as though the music trivia thread has once again died. I figured why not do a "Name that tune" thread. Post a couple lines from a tune and see if rings any memory bells.
Once again google may be your friend but you're not allowed help from friends here. So, to start things off... Well I was movin down the road in my v-8 ford, I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns lowered. With my New York brim and my gold tooth displayed, Nobody give me trouble cause they know I got it made. |
I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide...
That's ZZ Top, my man. How bout this: I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do it So the little got more and more I just keep tryin' to get a little better Said a little better than before |

Let me get some caffeine in my system while I think of one. How about: I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway Heading for the love getaway, love getaway, I got me a car, it's as big as a whale |
love shack- b52's
....nothing, next caller please... |
I never could figure out what "tin roof, rusted" means.
You want to give us another Leander? |

Next please, Leander. |

And there WAS a love shack with a rusted tin roof outside of Athens, GA. If I remember right, that's where the B-52s and REM both played their first shows. It burned down a couple of years ago and made the news, mainly on the popularity of this song. |

While we wait on Leander (anyone want to put a clock on that?), I did a little research and remembered where I'd heard this. It was in the liner notes of their box set, but it looks like I misremembered the details.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Shack backs me up and shows where my memory was flawed. |

Edit: I do think there's a reason the interviewer asked the question: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=375382 http://www.theb52s.com/faq.html Maybe I misheard her answer, but I clearly remember her saying it had nothing to do with being pregnant. |
ok, here's one
I was 21 years when I wrote this song I'm 22 now but I won't be for long People ask when will I grow up to be a man But the girls I loved in school are already pushing prams |
