Another Stupid Question

In the interests of lightening the atmosphere around here, I hereby submit myself for the amusement of the group by asking the following question.

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know
It's been coming for some time

When it's over so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know
Coming down like water

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day

-Creedence

 

I might be a retard but I didn´t quite get the question... so, give me a big ol flame if I´m just stupid or am I right, for once?

What was the question?

Don't worry about it, I'm not even sure what I was thinking when I posted that.

 

LoL

Feels good to realize that I´m not the retarded one for once =o)



Just kidding man, no offense.

 

He (or John Fogerty, I guess) wants to know, "Have you evaaaah seeeeeen the raaaaain?"

Good job, Etalis. I love CCR. One of my all-time favorite bands.

THIS FORUM NEEDS MORE CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL! LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE!

Fortunate Son

Some folks are born
Made to wave the flag
Ooh, that red, white, and blue.
And when the band plays
"Hail to the chief!"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you.

It ain't me,
It ain't me,
I ain't no senator's son.
It ain't me,
It ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one.

Some folks are born
Silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves?
But when the tax-man
Come to the door
Lord, the house movin' like a rummage sale.

It ain't me,
It ain't me,
I ain't no millionaire's son.
It ain't me,
It ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one.

Some folks inherit
Star spangled eyes
Ooh, they'll send you down to war.
And when you ask 'em,
"How much should we give?"
Ooh, the only answer is "More, more, more".

It ain't me,
It ain't me,
I ain't no military son.
It ain't me,
It ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one.

 

H3ll yeah that Foggerty boy sure is swingin´!!

(With that cool old cowboy accent =o))

 

Doooown on the cornaaaaaaaaaah
Out on the streeeet
With the...

I forget the rest, but it's a cool song. I must admit to not knowing many CCR songs. Who the hell is this Foggerty boy you guys are talking about?

 

Who's John Fogerty?! BLASPHEMY!

Jarinor, you are now the...
Anne would like you to leave the stage immediately.

He's the lead singer/guitarist/songwriter of one of the greatest rock bands ever, Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Anyway... Etalis, whatever you're original reason for starting this thread, I'm now hijacking it. This is now the "Feel-Good Classic Rock Lyricsâ„¢" thread.

 

Jarinor, Jarinor, Jarinor...
You´re closing in on Weagus, or what his name was, the dude that asked about Fallout.


And I think the song went something like this.

Down on the corner
out on the street
Willie and the poor boys are playing
bring a nickle tap your feet


Or something, we used to sing it in third grade, which was a while back... like 10 years or so.

I don't know that I'd call the CCR one of the greatest rock bands ever...I don't know that I'd even call them a rock band :smile:.

 

I cant take this no more...
He doesn´t settle with not knowing about dear old John, now he casts dirt on the whole band.

Why God, why!!?

 

Okay, didn't know you two would take it so personally...I'm just joking, CCR have some good songs...although, most people don't know who they are nowadays.

 

Well, to be honest, I´m no big rock fan, but CCR sure made alot of good songs.
I actually listen to Hip Hop and shit like Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Papa Roach...

 

Wow...that really is shit music! Glad you can admit it!

I tend to listen to local stuff - I'll give most anything from Australia a try. There are some surprisingly good local bands around where you live I'd say.

 

Why dont you mail me... forget it, just recalled you have your modem...
But yes, swedes make good music to, but the ones I listen to probably haven´t reached as far as Australia so they´re not worth mentioning.

You got any famous band from Australia?

 

Ever heard of AC/DC, Reko?

And you guys know I'm gonna have to torture a CCR tune now -- change the lyrics a little. I know 'em all, so which one gets the treatment?

 

No shit!?
They´re from Australia?
Cool, I used to listen to them as a child, along to other "rock-shit" like Metallica and Iron Maiden.

Hope I dont offend anyone to much with these words ;o)

 

And now that you're "grown-up" you listen to hip-hop?
Whatever.

 

Didn´t say that I grew up now did I ;o)
Just said I listned to rock as a child, I might be a baby nowadays.

 

I listen to all the things Reko does and also Don McLean and and Simon and Garfunkel and U2. You could say I listen to a bit of everything.
