On That Note: I Can Hear Music

[diaclone]

The Trammps - " Disco Inferno"

 

[Cupped]

The Band, Stage Fright

 

[BoxsterCy]

Whole song is about the venue (Montreux Casino) burning down.

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile, yeah
We didn't have much time now
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

 

[diaclone]

For us older folks, there was the "Soul Train Line" Here is the Isley Brothers singing "Fight the Power"

 

[cyzygy11]

Any song referring Woodstock.
Eminem 8 Mile
Come Dancing by the Kinks
Zoot Suit Riot by the Cherry Poppin Daddies

 

[Cupped]

Joni Mitchell, Coyote

Till we turned into some road house lights
Where a local band was playing

 

[matclone]

I don't know you from Adam,
but if you're gonna play the jukebox,
please don't play A-11.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Fight song, raising up
Like a roar of victory in a stadium

 

[BCWAngus]

In the corner of the bar stands a jukebox.

 

[Althetuna]

Willie Nelson: If You've Got the Money (I've Got the Time)

If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time
We'll go honky-tonking and we'll have a time
We'll have more fun, baby, all way down the line

Probably many songs out there that reference the Grand Ole Opry but here are a few of my favorites

"if they don't have a Grand Ole Opry like they do in Tennessee"







"And Opry music on a Saturday night"



"who's gonna play the Opry"

 

[IsUaClone2]

Creeque Alley lyrics:
"In a coffeehouse Sebastian sat,
and after every number they passed the hat."



Green Door lyrics:
"There's an old piano and they play it hot
behind the green door..."



Music, Music, Music lyrics:
"Put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon..."

 

[IsUaClone2]

Dancing Queen lyrics:

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

 

[IlliniCy]

Le Freak - Chic with a Studio 54 reference:

Now we "freak," oh, what a joy
Just come on down to the fifty four
Find your spot out on the floor



Self-explanatory:

 

[Hubbs4cy]

The Triple Rock in MSP was the second greatest venue in the area behind First Ave. Sad that it closed.

 

[Icky_Mettle]

And tonight I'm playing another Nambucca show

 

[drlove]

Bryant Street Theater

 

[matclone]

I really like this version of Joni Mitchell's song too.

Spread Your Wings - Queen
Sammy was low
Just watching the show
Over and over again
He knew it was time
He'd made up his mind
To leave his dead life behind
His boss said to him, "Boy, you'd better begin
To get those crazy notions right out of your head"
Sammy, who do you think that you are?
You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar

and then later in the song:

His boss said to him, "Now listen, boy
You're always dreaming
You've got no real ambition, you won't get very far"
Sammy boy, don't you know who you are?
Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Bar?
