How about:

"... we shot that tunnel at a hundred-and-ten,
like gas through a funnel and eggs through a hen... "

"... we shot that tunnel at a hundred-and-ten,

"... we shot that tunnel at a hundred-and-ten,
like gas through a funnel and eggs through a hen... ""Let them truckers roll...10/4" :woot:

[Tom V]

Getting close...

But where is it?

[High ISO!]

I just couldn't hold it back any longer!:woot::woot::woot:


Wolf Creek Pass...CW McCall...

Alissa

[Tom V]

Yes!

Wolf Creek Pass was in the top 40 in 1975. In high school, I took a filmmaking class and made a film to go along with the song.

So Alissa, where to do you want us to go next?

[High ISO!]

OK.....I've been racking my little pea brain, and thought of a couple...but this will do.....Where in the world are we NOW!!!????

"And it starts up north in Hollywood, water on the driving side."

Have fun! I think it might be too easy.....SORRY!

Alissa

[sandman]

Only easy if you know the answer :D
and i have'nt a clue .:baldy:

Well done Tom , Scott Walker one of my favorite singers , great voice which never recieved the recognision i think it deserved , still singing and making music in London , but too far out for my tastes now .Anyone who has his 'Boy Child ' album will know what i mean

Brian

PS i should have got McCall , 'Convoy'' just about summed up my life back in the 70's

"And it starts up north in Hollywood, water on the driving side."Hmmm lets see, taking 101 up the coast, that could only be "North to Alaska"! :haha:
Naw, those folks couldn't leave their southern comfort. :crazy:'Convoy'' just about summed up my life back in the 70's Same here Brian, through '82... http://davedisbrow.com/images/horse.gif

OK...so nobody is getting this yet..either I thought my too easy song is only too easy to people like me or, maybe no one is trying to figure it out.

OK so this song is from 1971...here's another line from the song....

"There's a road I'd like to tell you about, lives in my hometown."

OK well not QUITE MY hometown...but.....well.....

Ok so can ya figure it out now?????

Dave, your guess was exactly where I figured people would think it was...but you're not even close! :lol::lol::lol:

Got married in 71 .... think the song is from that era (geez....just saw that you said it was 71 ..... .... grew up in Southern Wisconsin ... so, I assume it is LSD (Lake Shore Drive) ....

How about

Rambling out of the wild west
Leaving the towns I love best
Thought I'd seen some ups and down
'Till I come into .......

So here's the words to the song Lake Shore Drive by Aliotta-Haynes-Jerimiah

There's a road I'd like to tell you about, lives in my hometown.
Lake Shore Drive the road is called and it'll take you up or down.
From rags on up to riches, fifteen minutes you can fly.
Pretty blue lights along the way help you right on by.
And the blue lights shining with a heavenly grace, help you right on by.

And there ain't no road just like it, anywhere I've found.
Running south on Lake Shore Drive heading into town.
And just slipping on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound.

And it starts up north in Hollywood, water on the driving side.
Concrete mountains rearing up throwing shadows just about five.
Sometimes you can smell the green if your mind is feeling fine.
There ain't no finer place to be than running Lake Shore Drive.
And there's no peace of mind or place you'll see, like riding on Lake Shore Drive.

And there ain't no road just like it anywhere I've found.
Running south on Lake Shore Drive heading into town.
And just slipping on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound.

It's Friday night and you're looking clean, too early to start the rounds.
A ten minute drive from the Gold Coast back, make sure you're pleasure bound.
Then it's four o'clock in the morning and all the people have gone away.
Just you and your mind and Lake Shore Drive, and tomorrow is another day.
And the sunshine's fine in the morning time, tomorrow is another day.

And there ain't no road just like it anywhere I've found.
Running south on Lake Shore Drive heading into town.
And just snaking on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound.

'Till I come into .......Tulsa town...
