Musical monday #41#43
Well it's back.
After a brief hiatus for Pesach/Passover, Musical Monday is back.
Guess the lyrics, figure out the theme. (NO googling)
I know I have to post the answers for a few past ones. Hopefully tonight, but no guarantees.
1) With them windshield wipers slappin time
2) Well I read some books and I read some magazines
3) That boy drank all that night don't know why
4) It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
4) Never have drifted down a bayou stream
5) Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
6) Up in New York City
7) New York's got the ways and means; but just wont let you be, oh no.
8) But I never saw the good side of the city,
9) Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee,
10) The honey suckle is bloomin on the honeysuckle vine
11) So he offered her a smile and a stick of Beech Nut gum
12) In 1814 we took a little trip
13) Illinois Central, Monday morning rail.
14) She lived in a world of magic
15) I'm gonna need two pair of shoes
I am really sorry, I thought I had more. If I can remember any more, I'll post them tonight.
If you figure out the theme and want to add more, please feel free to do so in the comments.

1. Me and Bobby McGee - Janice Joplin
4a. House of the Rising Sun - don't know the artist
8. Proud Mary - Ike & Tina Turner
13. The City of New Orleanas - Arlo Guthrie (was thinking the same answer for #9 as well)
12. It's called "Battle of New Orleans"? I'm associating it with Doug Kershaw, but I seem to recall a country artist who specialized in history songs who did it first.

Besides the ones already IDed:
2) "Honky Cat", Elton John
4) Artist for "House of the Rising Sun" is The Animals
5) "Brown Sugar", Rolling Stones (should the comma be after "cold"?)
6) "Dancing in the Street", Martha Raye and the Vandellas and many other remakes
7) I know this one really well, but it won't come to me!
9) "Ramblin' Man", Allman Brothers Band
Theme is New Orleans - is it the anniversary of Katrina this week?
Posted by: Elie at May 5, 2008 10:44 AMDon't know how that "Raye" snuck in; I'm mixing up my Marthas here! Of course it's just "Martha and the Vandellas"!
Couldn't resist looking up #7 and now I feel stupid for missing it - oh well.
Posted by: Elie at May 5, 2008 10:50 AMThe only one I know right off that hasn't already been guessed is:
7 - Truckin' - The Grateful Dead
I think the artist for #12 that Yitzchak is trying to think of is Johnny Horton.
Welcome back!
