From a parody I once heard on Seattle radio:
When the Cougars are hot
They’ll be drinking a lot
Spokane
She don’t like
She don’t like
She don’t like
Spokane
(Son, you must not be from around here …)
Pumped a lot of pane
As in PROPANE and propane accessories.
The song is actually about Hank Hill.
I thought propane pumped itself. Well, you know what I mean. I didn’t think people pumped it. More like “release” it.
Though I’d like to see ol’ Hank get down with the CCR boys.
On the other hand, Lodi does suck as advertised, so Fogerty’s done some public good.
Pain is quite the commodity. It can be pumped, tasted, housed, and ruled by a monarch. It’s the only thing that’s real!
And lest we forget, life is pain. Anyone who says any different is selling something.
I always heard it as “pumped a lot of 'tang” as in poontang.
Heh. I learned from Hank Hill that it’s compressed into a liquid.
Creedence Revisited used to feature former Cars guitarist Elliot Easton on their tours. Easton has since re-formed The Cars (as The New Cars) along with former Cars keyboardist Greg Hawkes and new frontman Todd Rundgren.
Compressed into a liquid? That’s one of the 8 propane related activites I haven’t personally experienced!
As for the OP, I have more of an issue with “Green River”
“Said, youre gonna find the world is smouldrin.
And if you get lost come on home to green river.”
Easy for you to say, Mr Fogerty. HELLO! If I’m lost it’s just not that easy to come on home because, like, I’m LOST!
Still, ont he whole I am inclined to give a pass to any guy who mentions Buck Owens in his lyrics.
mm
Underdressed and freezing cold deadbeats at that.
If you go down to the river, I’d recommend driving or taking the bus rather than chooglin’, which can be time-consuming.
I have actually heard the “new” ELO - A friend who does a radio show out of the UK (on an Indiana broadcast station that I listen to on the Internet) is an ELO freak - and went out and bought the CD. He played a few cuts on the air, and wasn’t totally pleased. This was a couple of months ago, and he hasn’t played it since.
Personally, it sounded sorta like ELO, but they aren’t one of my favorite bands, either, so I wasn’t too disappointed or excited. It was OK.
You have to be a fool to trust a song lyric. A friend of mine moved to London a few years ago…didn’t…meet …even…one…werewolf.
I live on a river. Don’t come round looking for a handout.
The line “you don’t have to worry, 'cause you have no money”–the way he warbles “cause”, it comes out sounding more like, “Oyyyy”. I always pictured this Jewish hippie showing up and kvetching, “Oyyyy, I have no money!”
He must not have been looking for anyone who’s hair was perfect.
Since it is a song about marijuana, I thought it meant that people would share their dope with you.
Good to know I’m not the only one with her mind totally in the gutter. Seriously always thought it was 'tang.
But now that I think about it, Tina wouldn’t be pumping poontang, would she?
But if she did, wouldn’t that have been hot? Don’t ruin this with logic. :D:D:D
Hank Hill has his own theme song?
Do The New Cars cover “That Smell”?
