15: we all went down to Monteaux

On the Lake Geneva shoreline

To make records with a mobile

We Didn't have much time

Frank Zappa and the Mothers

Were at the best place around

But some stupid with a flare gun

Burned it to the ground

70s rock, should be easy.

Deep Purple - Smoke On the Water. Every aspiring rock guitarist in my age group used to drive their parents crazy hammering out that riff ad infinitum, now matter how badly it was played. I think I was about 12 when that came out.

Here's one:

Sometimes late, when things are real

And people share the gift of gab between themselves

Some are quick to take the bait

And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves

varelse1

Smoke on the water is correct.

And Oz never gave nothin to the Tin Man?

Not sure who artist would be. If that's even correct.

guitarzan

Good, varelse1!

The song is called Tin Man, and the group was America.

At home

Drawing picures

Of mountaintops

With him on top

Lemin yellow sun

Arms raised in a Vee

The dead lay

In pools of Maroon below

Ah yes Smoke on The Water, one great classic!! Peace to the people!

Affirmative may be justified, take from one give to another;
The goal is to be unified, take my hand be my brother.
The payments silenced the masses sanctified by oppression;
Unity took a backseat sliding further into regression.

One, oh, one; the only way is one. One, oh, one; the only way is one.

I feel angry, I feel helpless, I want to change the world, yeah!
I feel violent, I feel alone, don't try and change my mind, no!

Society blind by color; why hold down one to raise another?
Discrimination now on both sides, seeds of hate blossom further.
The world is heading for mutiny when all we want is unity;
We may rise and fall, but in the end, we'll meet our fate together.

One, oh, one; the only way is one. One, oh, one; the only way is one.

I feel angry, I feel helpless, I want to change the world, yeah!
I feel violent, I feel alone, don't try and change my mind, no!


Definitely a song for our times; can you name the artist and the song?

History shows again and again

How nature points up the folly of man

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down

As he wades through the bay toward the center of town

Helpless people on subway trains scream, "My God!"

As he looks in on them

Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult

Ain't found a wy to kill me yet

Eyes burn with stinging sweat

Seems every path leads me to nowhere

Wie and kids, household pet

Army green was no safe bet

The bullets scream to me from somewhere

I am gross and perverted, I'm obsessed and deranged

I have existed for years, but very little has changed

I'm the tool of the government and industry, too

For I am destined to rule and regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious but you can't turn away

I'll make you think I'm delicious with the stuff that I say

I'm the best you can get, have you guessed me yet?

I'm the slime oozing out from your TV set

 

You will obey me while I lead you and eat the garbage that I feed you

Don't run for help - no one will heed you

Your mind is totally controlled, it has been stuffed into my mold

And you will do as you are told until the rights to you are sold

 

That's right, folks! Don't touch that dial!


Well, I am the slime from your video

Oozin' along 'cross your living room floor!

Yeah, I am the slime from your video

You can't stop the slime, people, look at me go!

 

Title: I'm The Slime

Yes I just couldn't think of this name, thanks...am I right on the artist?

Looks like it depends on which post you were referring to, winerkleiner.
