Herman's Hermits are definitely in the almost too easily dismiss-able pop category. That said, I seem to like their later stuff like this versus their earlier stuff that gets most of the plays.
On That Note - In My Room
- Thread starter MeanDean
- Start date
Thanks, I missed it both times I read through the thread...I think Rulzzz beat you to that. (Page 1)
Only one occurrence
“Sitting cross-legged on the floor”
“Sitting cross-legged on the floor”
So I need a clarification. "Room" is in the thread title, but not one of the 5 words listed - does it count? I have two really good "room" songs that don't have the other words.
Avett Brothers - Laundry Room
Close the laundry door
Tiptoe across the floor
Keep your clothes on
I've got all I can take

Clarifying -- "room" is not accepted, only the 5 specific words. I could understand the title being misleading, now that I think about it.
We selected that title since it ecompasses the 5 and also is a song title in itself.
Somewhere down the line we'll probably do some kind a more-specific room-related theme, so keep those in mind
Inspired by this, I thought of another song from that album (one of my all time favorite albums BTW)
"I've got posters on the wall
My favorite rock group Kiss"
Weezer - In The Garage

Darn, I've got a lot of ROOM songs
I'd figure you would have quite a few in your catalog.
And there's always Room for more.
Buuuut, some of those room songs mention our buzz words
The English Beat - Mirror in the Bathroom lyrics
"Mirror in the bathroom
Please talk free
The door is locked
Just you and me"

Coming through the door is a snub nose 44
What the barrel can't snort it can splatter on the floor
Your eyes feel like pinballs
And your tongue feels like a fish
You're leaping from the window sayin' (Ahhhhhh!!!)
Don't gimmie none of this!!!

Woke up in the morning, peculiar feeling...
Looked up and saw eggs dripping from the ceiling!

"By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising,
She'll find the note I left hanging on her door."
She'll find the note I left hanging on her door."
Piggy-backing on @20eyes post, a couple more from Beastie Boys
“‘Cause one man's ceiling is another man's floor”
“Staring at the cracks up there upon the ceiling”
“She'll show you a good time, then she'll show you the door”

Seems like B-Boys might have several other floor/door/wall references, seems like something they used a lot. But no others are coming to mind at the moment.
It's one of those themes that listeners will encounter down the road when listening to a familiar song they had forgotten contains it.
