Looking Back At Some Classics - Jerome - 24-03-2013
Music Head Wrote:#349 - Who - Baba O'Riley - 1971
running recap for me - 3's=84, 2's=56, 1's=10
this one - ***
from the album: Who's Next
Written by Pete Townshend
Produced by Who, Glyn Johns
Chart action: non single
the players:
Roger Daltrey - vocal
Pete Townshend - guitar
John Entwistle - bass
Keith Moon - drums
Sometimes it's better to just not read the lyrics. Awesome performance clip for this one. Named
for Townshend’s spiritual guru, Meher Baba, and minimalist composer Terry Riley, whose work
inspired the track’s repetitive electronic textures. I thought it should have been called
Teenage Wasteland. Written for another Rock Opera piece that Townshend was working on to follow
up Tommy. It never saw the light of day but the song became the leadoff to the groups next
album. Townshend says the song is about the absolute desolation of teenagers at Woodstock. Oh!
now I get it.

Lyrics
Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland
Sally ,take my hand
Travel south crossland
Put out the fire
Don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older
Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland
Oh, oh
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted!
This is what rock music is all about. Amazing how Entwistle's bass drives the whole track.

#348 - Supremes - You Keep Me Hanging On - 1966
running recap for me - 3's=85, 2's=56, 1's=10
this one - ***
from the album: The Supremes Sing Holland–Dozier–Holland
Written by Brian Holland,Lamont Dozier, Eddie Holland
Produced by Brian Holland,Lamont Dozier
Chart action: #1 US, #8 UK, #11 Australia
the players:
Diana Ross - lead vocal
Florence Ballard - backing vocals
Mary Wilson - backing vocals
Funk Brothers - music
Can't think of a Supremes single I don't love. This one became the groups eighth #1 single. The
beginning of this song is supposed to sound like an SOS call. Never thought of it like that but
I guess it does. Although I love this song, it is not near the top of my Supremes favs.
Excellent cover of this by Vanilla Fudge in the late 60's. And no I don't like the Phil Collins
version.

Lyrics
Set me free, why don't cha babe
Get out my life, why don't cha babe
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin' on
Why do you keep a coming around
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start?
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me
Set me free, why don't cha babe
Let me be, why don't cha babe
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Now you don't really want me
You just keep me hangin' on
You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
And there ain't nothing I can do about it
Woo, set me free, why don't cha babe
Woo, get out my life, why don't cha babe
Set me free, why don't cha babe
Get out my life, why don't cha babe
You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else Hey!
Why don't you be a man about it
And set me free
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me
Go on, get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on...

Kim Wilde did a cover of this Supremes song back in the mid 1980s which was aweful with all those 1980s synths and drum machines,
heres the link if you dont remember it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNyRU0fKHAY (video)
like you though.."***" here,
i thought Phil Collins covered "you cant hurry love",not this one?????
Looking Back At Some Classics - SteveO - 31-03-2013

#347 - Paul McCartney - Maybe I'm Amazed - 1970
running recap for me - 3's=86, 2's=56, 1's=10
this one - ***
from the album: McCartney
Written by Paul McCartney
Produced by Paul McCartney
Chart action: #10 US, #26 UK
the players:
Paul McCartney - guitar, bass, piano organ, drums, vocals
Linda McCartney - backing vocal
Gotta be up there among the top McCartney songs for me. The studio album version of this song
was never released as a single. The chart placements are from a Wings live recording 6 years
later. Sure didn't know that trivia. Gryphon probably did, or maybe even CH. The song was
written before the Beatles break up. It was one of the few tracks from the album that Paul went
back to Abbey Road to record. He does all the instruments and vocals. Who needs a damn band
anyway?

Lyrics
Baby, i'm amazed at the way you love me all the time,
and maybe i'm afraid of the way i leave you.
maybe i'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time,
you hung me on the line.
maybe i'm amazed at the way i really need you.
baby, i'm a man, maybe i'm a lonely man
who's in the middle of something
that he doesn't really understand.
baby, i'm a man,
and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
baby, won't you help me to understand?
ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh.
baby, i'm a man, maybe i'm a lonely man
who's in the middle of something
that he doesn't really understand.
baby, i'm a man,
and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
baby, won't you help me to understand?
ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
maybe i'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time,
maybe i'm afraid of the way leave you.
maybe i'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song,
right me when i'm wrong-
maybe i'm amazed at the way i really need you.

#346 - Aerosmith - Walk This Way - 1976
running recap for me - 3's=87, 2's=56, 1's=10
this one - ***
from the album: Toys In The Attic
Written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry
Produced by Jack Douglas
Chart action: #10 US
the players:
Steven Tyler - vocals
Joe Perry - guitar
Joey Kramer - drums
Brad Whitford - guitar
Tom Hamilton - bass
Inspiration for this was a Mel Brooks gag from Young Frankenstein. Like the movie but no clue
what they are referring to. From my favorite album by the band, but not sure I loved this song
when it came out. It took some plays. No I have never liked the Run DMC version, which probably
sold more copies than the original.

Lyrics
backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
till I talked to your daddy, he say
he said "you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways"
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
oh, the times I could reminisce
'cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
only started with a little kiss
like this!
seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
and your feet flyin' up in the air
singin' "hey diddle diddle"
with your kitty in the middle of the swing
like you didn't care
so I took a big chance at the high school dance
with a missy who was ready to play
wasn't me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
and I knowed love was here to stay
when she told me to
walk this way [8x]
just gimme a kiss
like this!
schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
there was three young ladies in the school gym locker
when I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
till the boys told me somethin' I missed
then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
so I gave her just a little kiss
like this!
[repeat second verse, substitute this at the end]
when she told me how to walk this way, she told me to
walk this way [8x]
just gimme a kiss
like this!
