A Blast From the Past

I'm a music junky and I love how You tube allows me to find songs and videos from when I was growing up...songs that I thought were long since forgotten. Take this little gem from 1974 by the studio band, Reunion. Sit back and enjoy.



Here's the lyrics to the song.

B.B. Bumble and the Stingers
Mott the Hoople, Ray Charles Singers
Lonnie Mack and Twangin' Eddy
Here's my ring we're going steady
Take it easy, take me higher
Liar, liar house on fire
Locomotion, Poco passion
Deeper purple, Satisfaction
Baby, baby, gotta, gotta
Gimmee, gimmee, gettin' hotter
Sammy's cookin', Leslie's Gorey
Richie Valens end of story
Maha Vishnu, Fujiama
Kama Sutra, Rama Lama
Richard Perry, Spector Barry
Righteous, Archies, Nilsson Harry
Shimmy, Shimmy, Koko Boppin'
Fats is back and finger poppin'

Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
Gotta turn it up louder
So my DJ told me
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
At the end of my rainbow
Lies a golden oldie

FM, AM hits are clickin'
While the clock is tocking, ticking
Friends and Romans, salutations
Brenda and the Tabulations
Carly Simon, I behold her
Rolling Stones center folder
Johnny Cash and Johnny Rivers
Can't stop now I've got the shivers
Mungo Jerry, Peter Peter, Paul Paul and Mary Mary
Dr. John, the nightly tripper
Doris Day and Jack the Ripper
Got to go sir, got to swelter
Leon Russell, Gimme Shelter
Miracles in Smokey places
Slide guitarists and Fender basses
Mushroom omelet, Bonnie Bramlett
Wilson Pickett, stomp and kick it

Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
Gotta turn it up louder
So my DJ told me
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
At the end of my rainbow
Lies a golden oldie

Arthur Janoff, Primal screamin'
Hawkins J. and Dale and Ronnie
Kukla Fran and Norman Okla
Denver John and Osmond Donny
J.J. Cale and ZZ Top
And L.L. Bean and Dee Dee Dinah
David Bowie, Steely Dan
And sing me proud oh C.C. Rider
Edgar Winters, Joanie Summers
Ides of March and Johnny Thunder
Eric Clapton, pedal wah-wah
Stephen Foster, ooo-dah, ooo-dah
Good Vibrations, Help Me Rhonda
Surfer Girl and Little Honda
Tighter, Tighter, Honey, Honey
Sugar, Sugar, Yummy, Yummy
C.B.S. and Warner Brothers
R.C.A. and all the others

Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
Gotta turn it up louder
So my DJ told me
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
At the end of my rainbow
Lies a golden oldie

(Listen...they're playing our song)

Rock it, sock it, Alan Freed me
Murray Kaufman tried to lead me
Fish are swimmin', Boston Monkey
Make it bad and play it funky
