Song lyric quiz

[kingrooster]

Funkadelic.......you are right. What a band, I've only been into them in the last couple of years. You can really hear where the Red Hot Chili Peppers got their sound.

[Dogwatcher]

You certainly can hear it. If you listen to Swoop's albums from the early 90s, it's embarassing how much they ripped off George and co.

BTW - I don't know the song, off hand, so I still haven't got it right.

[kingrooster]

You can have it...the song is No Compute from the Cosmic Slop album. It's a really cool tune from an , nowadays, underrated band. Gotta keep it moving. I thought that I would inspire people to look outside the circle musically. Cant keep posting Stairway to Heaven and Hotel California all the time.

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
With a word she can get what she came for
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.

Day after day I'm more confused
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

[Leaping Lindner]

Drift Away. Pretty sure Dobie Gray did the original. Well the best known version anyway.

Your turn

[Leaping Lindner]

Fairly easy one this one - well I think so

You're a star-belly sneech
You suck like a leach
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch
So you can get rich
But your boss gets richer off you

When I feel heavy metal
And Im pins and Im needles
Well I lie and Im easy
All of the time but Im never sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you
