Kako se zove ta pesma..?

Steve miller band is the singer.

"The Joker"is the title.

"Book of Dreams" is the album title..

Don't tell me you don't hit up youtube??

Some great old time music stored there!!

This post made me laugh.
    Do you know I have been singing this song now since I read the post??
Isn't that something when you hear a song and realize you are singing it in your head when you try to go to sleep? It happens to me all the time.
        I mean it can be anything, something I don't even particuarly like.  Yet, if I hear it at a certain time, it just sticks in my head.
          You'll love this....I drove myself crazy with "Ain't That a Kick In the Head" by Dean Martin last week, as my favorite Dean Martin slot machine plays it when you hit a big win. 

Now, here's a bit of trivia...

Who did "Muskrat Love" ORIGINALLY????

(Hint, no, not Captain and Teniellie)

Smarty pants!

Now that's a question I have heard a lot of times, but nobody has an answer!


But here it is (wiki)  "Pompatus means to act with pomp and splendor"

I always thought it would be "Pompous"

Bruce Springsteen - Atlantic City

"Well, I got a job and tried to put my money away
But I got debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew what I had from the central trust
And I bought us two tickets on that coast city bus

Well now, evrything dies, baby, thats a fact
But maybe evrything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in atlantic city"


                                I just love gambling tunes....
    Anybody got any others?                                  PMM2008

Pompatus is to act.

Pompous is to be.

  Hope that helps!

"I call you on the telephone
My voice too rough with cigarettes.
I sometimes feel I should just go home
but I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets

I love to hear you say my name
especially when you say yes
I got your body right now on my mind
but I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex, Mmmmm
To the sound of old T-Rex..."

Live from Jimbeaux's Ipod

the who  you better you bet of of faces--- steve miller invented the word [pompatus] because he couldnt find a rhyme it has no def, just useless info i finally found a use for lol

dont know that 1 maybe more lyrics

I am a roving gambler
Ive gambled down in town
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards
I lay my money down, lay my money down, lay my money down
                                            -Everyly Brothers-

PMM2008..

WONDERFUL LYRICS!

You sing it girl!

wake up lil suzy, wake up ...............

It's Saturday night
I just got paid
A fool about my money
Don't try to save
My heart says go go
Have a time
Cause it's Saturday night
and I'm feeling fine
Gonna rock it up
Gonna rip it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
Have a ball tonight......



                I'm off to the casino tonight, can you tell? 
                  Yeee-haaaa

      The Classic...."Viva Las Vegas....


Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money thats ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
Theres a thousand pretty women waitin out there
And theyre all livin devil may care
And Im just the devil with love to spare
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas

How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
cause even if there were forty more
I wouldnt sleep a minute away
Oh, theres black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on evry deal
All you needs a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas

Viva las vegas with you neon flashin
And your one armbandits crashin
All those hopes down the drain
Viva las vegas turnin day into nighttime
Turnin night into daytime
If you see it once
Youll never be the same again

Im gonna keep on the run
Im gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
Ill always remember that I had a swingin time
Im gonna give it evrything Ive got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with evry shot
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas,
Viva, viva las vegas

Maybe it's just my Imagin.ation, but could "Kick off your flip-flops, and relax awhile.." be Rod Stewart in "Tonight's The Night"?

words so secret they can only be revealed to a lover.

oops the meaning of pompatus ...words so secret they can only be revealed to a lover.

That is the meaningful purpose of the word "pizmotality" in a song
called "The Letter" by the Medallions 1956.. "words so secret they can only be spoke to one he loves"
Pompatus was derived from that song, another word..
"Puppatutes" which its meaning meant, "a secret fantasy figure, which would bear his children"

I'm guess that both words can mean the same thing?

          Casino Queen....


Well, the money's pouring down and the people all look down
And it's floating out of town
I hit the second deck and I spent my paycheck
And my wife that I just met, she's looking like a wreck

Casino Queen, my lord you're mean
I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green

I always bet on black, blackjack
I'll pay you back
The room fills with smoke and I'm already broke
And the dealer keeps on joking as he takes my last token

Casino Queen, my lord you're mean
I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green

Casino Queen, my lord you're mean
I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green

                                        --Wilco--

I think this is an awesome song by Hoobastank. But everytime i hear it...im never quite sure if he is leaving her.....or if she is the one he is starting anew with.

REASON

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you [x4]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

What do you think...

Lips

Lips.. I think he is talking about himself, leaving
the bad self, and becoming a new, her being his inspiration..

and BTW yes, that is a very good song, lyrics are great

Oh this is an excellent song that Ray Charles did...


Hard Times (no one knows better than I)  Ray Charles....

My mother told me
Before she passed away
Said son when I'm gone
Don't forget to pray
'Cause there'll be hard times
Lord those hard times
Who knows better than I?

Well I soon found out
Just what she meant
When I had to pawn my clothes
Just to pay my rent
Talkin' 'bout hard times
Who knows better than I?

I had a woman
Who was always around
But when I lost my money
She put me down
Talkin' 'bout hard times
Yeah,yeah, who knows better than I?

Lord, one of these days
There'll be no sorrow
When I pass away
And no more hard times
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?

Hi gang:
    I found a web site a few month ago called www.lala.com
  It is terrific for finding almost any song you can think of or remember from your past. There has not been one song it could not find for me. 
    If your a music lover, check it out.
Loads of fun.

Tony, Did Lips tell you about it?  I told her about it. HAHA
I have over 200 songs in my collection already, and I am one of the top listeners to the site. 
We have a ball on there. I just know other members will love it if they give it a look.
Give it a try guys.
                                                            Pam

Thanks for the link Pam I am a music lover especially the oldies from the 60's and 70's.

Pam, you are the Bomb, that site is wonderful..
I'm in heaven.. whoa

Hi Soda,

I bet you could write a book with your life's experiences. The most important thing is you stayed true to you. Your belief in that particular church was not the path that felt right.

Everyone has there own beliefs in a higher power we call God. The key is to accept and respect it.

I'm not sure if i will make it to the pearly gates...maybe you can put in a good word for me!!!

Lips

If the song sounds good I don't care what they're saying!

helwin lol i hear ya!
I'm sitting here listening to
Darren Hayes - Strange Relationship
from savage garden.. this guy is jamming in this song
and love the video too!

Another classic from Ray Charles.
      Does anyone remember the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles? With Steve Martin and John Candy?
            This song was playing while John Candy was driving the rental car flying down the road, smoking, and he was playing piano on the dash? I still laugh at that scene.
          Great song guys, Look it up on lala
