    Wow! whovin, you're getting better. My 2-year-old grandaughter has this logo on her tee shirt. Cute!

    Yes Yes the stones all day long lol

    This is just my guess: Stairway To Heaven? By: Led Zeppelin

    Chiangmai

    Good guess. No cigar yet.
    itsmee

    I am going to guess stairway to heaven also. that's the one d j's put on when they need to attend to "business" in the other room. every time i turn on the radio ... there it is ... argh!
    "If there's a bustle in your edge row it's just the spring queen ... (Oh ... whatever.)
    It makes no sense.

    This is just my guess:Whole Lotta Love,by Led Zeppelin.

    Chiangmai

    Hint: a few years earlier than Honky Tonk Woman.

    It's been recorded by nearly one thousand different performers.

     


    What is the most popular rock-and-roll song in history?


    Answer:  Because the lyrics in the Kingsmen's 1963 recording of the song, "Louie, Louie" were unintelligible, people thought they were dirty, and although they weren't, a U.S. congressional investigation assured the song's enduring success.  Since being sold by its author, Richard Berry, for $750 in 1957, "Louie, Louie" has been recorded by almost one thousand different performers and sold an estimated quarter-billion copies.

    "Australian crawl" a rock band in Australia sang it as well.Yeah it is a good song.
    itsmee

    i'm glad i didn't file through my head all the live-long day. i would never have come to "louie Louie" (I'll be listening to it today if it's around.)

    I was getting desperate: I was going to guess "you got a friend" and then it went to "take your clothes off when you dance" by frank zappa.
    Chiangmai

    As you ladies move your bodies to the music of Louie Louie today, think of me a bit. :)

    Cool. I thought it would be an Elvis song.
    itsmee

    who else, chiqngmai?!
    Dollybird

    Yes, Louie Louie is the most popular Rock-in-Roll song in history. The American FBI, was called to investigate the words of song,because people thought words were about sex etc. which gave the song additional attention it needed to secure its place in history.
    Chiangmai

    Correct. Thanks, Dolly

    Knocking on Heavens Door is way up there in my humble opinion...(:

    Chiangmai

    No doubt, hipster. See my hint to daren.

    A survey was once done on this,and Friday on my mind was voted the best.

    Chiangmai

    Not exactly.

    Hint: this song was recorded by more than a single artist.
    itsmee

    I don't really know "friday on my mind" PL: where do you live?

    itsmee

    Many years ago the guys would all gather round and what would we hear ,,, FREEEEEEEEEEEBIRD. It's a guy thing, Vinny & Chiangmai : )
    Vinny

    Yes! and in the late 70's I was playing keyboards with a traveling showband-- Showbands back then were a several notches classier than you would see in your local bar playing for beer. We had a 'tight' show that our program was rehearsed over and over and performed as such.. Always in the classy hotels-- There wasn't a night regardless where we were, no matter what city,no matter how classy the place- there was always someone yelling at the top of their voice FREEBIRD!! so we eventually worked it into the program but it made no difference, we would play it then within minutes someone would yell FREEBIRD!! again.. It was just the thing of the period.. LOL It became the joke of the 70's..

    We are the champions my friend and we'll keep on fighting to the end cause we are the champions no time for losers cause we are the champions

    Chiangmai

    Loud and clear, dunc. Big TU for you! Thanks, Champ!
