A video montage to David Allen Coes's "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" by Graybeard1952.Country Outlaw David Allen finally gained gained national fame with this song. A hard drinking, drug using fighting redneck who penned some outrageous lyrics. Many Country D.J.'s refused to play his music. This is probably one of the most played songs in Karaoke Bars (at least in Phoenix-plenty of rednecks here!). I found some live perfomances, but sadly, time and too much booze and drugs have taken its toll, and his perfomances stunk, so I found this montage using his recorded version. This is a another song that will get the crowd hopping! Enjoy

Paul Williams wrote the soundtrack for a generation. His songs were everywhere in the 1970s -- you could hear them on the radio, television, movies, and The Muppets. The simple honesty of his lyrics still captures attention and spurs the imagination. This song, The Rainbow Connection seems to fit him so well. Happy Birthday Paul Williams, you've given us happy memories!

The only time we ever heard the Little Tramp's voice was in Modern Times (1936) when he sang a nonsense song in a cabaret. If you don't understand the lyrics, it's okay. Nobody does. They are a mishmash of words from several languages with a bit of jibberish thrown in. (Some film historians claim that Chaplin was trying to make the point that actions speak louder than words.) Nevertheless it is rather odd to hear sounds come from the mouth of the silent cinema's greatest star.

Written by the team of Marilyn and Alan Bergman, this song, performed by Stephen Bishop (whose birthday is 11/14), was the theme for the 1982 hit Tootsie. I absolutely love it! A truly romantic classic, from an era when lyrics meant something. Doesn't it make you want to fall in love all over again?

In 1955, The Great Pretender, with lyrics written in the washroom of the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, exceeded the success of the Platter's debut in 1953. It became their first national #1 hit. The Great Pretender was also the act's biggest R&B hit, with an eleven-week run atop the charts.

1967, Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot perfom "Bonnie and Clyde".
They both look so cool
Music and lyrics written by Serge Gainsbourg:
translated here:
You’ve read the story
Of Jesse James
How he lived
How he died
You liked that, didn’t you?
Yet you still ask for more
And well,
Listen to the story
Of Bonnie and Clyde
Then here it is,
Clyde has a girlfriend
She’s beautiful, her first name
Is Bonnie
And the two of them form
The Barrow gang
Their names
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
When I knew Clyde
Before all that
He was a loyal guy
Honest and right
You’ve got to believe
That it’s society
Which definitely ruined him
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
All the things that they wrote
About her and me
They claim we kill
In cold blood
It’s not funny
But we really have
To silence
The one that starts to scream
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
Every time a policeman
Gets killed
Or a garage or a bank
Is attacked
For the police
It’s not a mystery
Signed, Clyde Barrow
Bonnie Parker
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
Now every time
We try to rest
To get comfortable
In an apartment
Within three days
The tac tac tac's back
The machine guns
Return to the attack
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
One of these days
We will fall together
And I don’t care
It’s for Bonnie that I tremble
It doesn’t matter
If they get my skin (kill me)
Me Bonnie
I tremble for Clyde Barrow
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
Anyway
They couldn’t have stayed longer
The only solution
Was to die
But more than one followed them
Into hell
When they died
Barrow and Bonnie Parker
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

This is one of the highlights of their 1994 album, 'Hell Freezes Over'. Great lyrics, great rhythm, great vocals from Don Henley, and great guitar work from Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh and Don Felder

Mark Dinning's recording efforts met with limited success until 1960, when he recorded 'Teen Angel' as a 45rpm single, that was written by his sister Jean and her husband Red Surrey. The lyrics told of the death of a teenage love that radio stations in the United Kingdom deemed too morbid to be aired, but it went to #1 on the Billboard Charts in the United States. Although he never duplicated the success of "Teen Angel", he had three minor hit records in the following years and continued to perform in the music industry until his unexpected death at the age of fifty-two from a heart attack in Jefferson City, Missouri in 1986.
Cathy, you will definitely find this on that long road to sappiness.

"In Dreams" is a song composed and sung by American rock and roll performer, Roy Orbison.
An operatic ballad of lost love, it was released as a 45rpm single on Monument Records in February 1963. The song's opening line refers to "A candy-colored clown they call the Sandman". The Sandman is a character in Hans Christian Andersen's children stories who brings sleep and dreams by sprinkling magic sand onto the sleeping.
It became the title track on the album In Dreams, released July 1963, and also appears on his 1989 posthumous album A Black & White Night Live from the 1988 HBO television special.
"In Dreams" was used famously in an infamous whorehouse scene in David Lynch's Blue Velvet (1986). An effeminate drug dealer, played by Dean Stockwell, lip synchs the song at the insistence of a sadistic criminal played by Dennis Hopper. Later, Hopper's character utters the lines "In dreams I talk to you... in dreams you're MINE - all the time!" as he threatens Kyle Maclachlan's character. The song also appeared in and provided the title for Neil Jordan's 1999 psychological thriller In Dreams.
If the structure of a standard pop song is ABABCAB (verse-chorus, verse-chorus, bridge, verse-chorus), then the structure of "In Dreams" is ABCDE: the lyrics "A candy-colored clown," "I close my eyes," "In dreams I walk with you," "But just before the dawn," and "It's too bad that all these things" all introduce sections of new musical material that are not repeated.
In 1988, songwriters Will Jennings and Richard Kerr wrote a response to "In Dreams", called "In The Real World", which Orbison recorded for his 1989 album Mystery Girl.
In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine named "In Dreams" as one of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."
