SLBunge Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Sweet Jane Good call. Should we have a rancorous thread analyzing the relative merits of all the covers of this song now that the pajamas thread has cooled? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mongo_jones Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 you hear it, and you recognize it before your brain tells you the name of the song. "back in black": ac/dc "satisfaction: rolling stones "start me up": rolling stones "hard day's night": beatles "iron man": black sabbath "sweet home alabama": lynyrd skynyrd people, this is the definitive list (except for the inexplicable omission of "smoke on the water"). i wasn't actually asking for additions, just letting you know. but since you've all gone on and on while i was on campus, i hope someone got to jethro tull and "aqualung". 5wiSWhPzdl8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Ya, and thank God "Aqualung" IS so recognizable, too, so that one can in a nanosecond PRESS THE BUTTON, FRANK and get out get out get out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chad Ward Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Oh, here and there. Here's another one for this seemingly inexhaustible thread: School's Out! This one requires the DEN notation. Very nice. Instantly recognizable, thoughtful and erudite yet not a canonical rock classic. Deft move, indeed. Chad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 is Pete Townshend the only rock star who has aged? Sure, the Stones have lines in their faces deeper than Mariana's Trench, but at least God didn't take their hair. And all Pete did was love. I thought he said it was "research".

Liza Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I suggest we report Mongo for gross flute violations. And please to insert pinkie finger reference here. I thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mongo_jones Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 the egregious rolling stones omission was not "brown sugar" but "jumping jack flash". not to mention "honky tonk women". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Behemoth Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 the egregious rolling stones omission was not "brown sugar" but "jumping jack flash". not to mention "honky tonk women". See, I thought of Jumping Jack Flash, but assumed it had already been mentioned. Most of the Stones catalogue fits, actually. Even the obscure stuff like that mick Jagger song in Performance. Oh! Oh! I got one. Come on. Final Countdown by Europe. Tada daaaada Tada da da da...eet'sza finaal countdowwwwn, wee're leeving togeeethee...eeerr.... Oh, and the start of MJ's Billy Jean. Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. God, I grew up in a bad time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
