Back To The 70's

[storm]

Good day to the children of the 70s, the flower wearing, pot-smoking, curfew-avoiding people. With my apologies to mareng liberty I complied some of the songs we listened to while we were either:

a) stoned drunk c) both a and b or d) none of the above

 

Can you guess these popular rock songs/ballads?

 

1) Frank Zappa and the Mothers were at the best place around, but some stupid with a flare gun, burned the place to the ground

 

2) She said, 'I'm home on shore leave, though in truth we were at sea

 

3) Hop on the bus, Gus, you don`t need to discuss much

 

4) Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden, sprung in completeness where his feet pass

 

5) Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove, and the eagle flies with the dove

 

6) You won't remember, when this is blown over, and everything's all by the way

 

7) I keep your picture, upon the wall. It hides a nasty stain that's lying there

 

8) And only passing time could k*ll the boredom we acquired, running with the losers for a while

 

9) I keep a-telling you, right smack dab in the middle of town , iI found a paradise that's trouble-proof.

 

10) I've overcome the blow, I’ve learned to take it well

 

11) Now as the years roll on, each time we hear our favorite song

 

12) Many have used her and many still do

 

13) Pisces, Virgo rising is a very good sign

 

14) The way she's always payin', for a debt she never owes

 

15) I'm not so systematic, it's just that I'm an addict for your love

 

16) We don’t need no thought control, no dark sarcasm in the classroom

 

17) You're the cutest thing that I ever did see

I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree

 

18) When we are close, the world is singing

 

19) For here am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world

 

Bonus: for the disco-ducks of the 70s

 

20) You can learn to fake it, keep on trying and you're bound to make it

[walangiba]

Uyyy b-day din ni mareng Liberty next week sa araw ni Ninoy(?)!!!!!

 

O ano, eb na tayo? to the tune of Gloria Diaz' and Dindo Fernando's "O Ano?"

 

August pala ang month of the 70s lovelies!

 

Happy birthday :flowers: :flowers: :flowers:

Hahaha... yes I do remember those lyrics. Advance Happy Birthday to you Ms. Liberty! :cool: May you have many more blessed ones to come!

[Magaling]

Hi Liberty..thank sa greetings....ikaw naman next week ! At HOLIDAY PA!! We'll never grow old kasi naman get down and funky pa rin tayo (70's din yan) !!..kaya pa nga natin maglow rise jeans diba?

 

@Iomax - thanks for the greeting too.

 

Belated Happy Birthday to you Ms. Augustmoon....and advance Happy Birthday naman kay Ms. Liberty! Double celebration? Mukhang magkaka-eb...Hehehe

3) Hop on the bus, Gus, you don`t need to discuss much

 

Mahirap itong quiz ni Pareng Pinoy...most of the songs that I do know, nasagutan na. But from the list, I will have to say that 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon left the most impression on me not so much for the lyrics (defensive!) but more for the beat.

not like we see nowadays in fastfood shops using powdered boths and machine-made pao's

Looking around their resto ... you can see much of 70's memorabilla

That song first came out in '66. It was still being played a lot in the 70's though.

 

Anyway......happy b'day to you too, Ms. Liberty!

No, the school I was in did not use that book in my early elementary years.

 

Instead, we used a book that featured three blonde Filipino kids named John, Jean, and Judy who had a dog named Spot.

Yup! That's what I remember.

If I felt may amats na, I stopped. Okay na ko. Masaya na.

 

When I say Disco kid, I meant laman ng Disco at least 3 times a week. We practice dancing pa almost everyday.

Speaking of Imee, was it during the late 70s or early 80s when news came out of Tommy Manotoc's (ex-husband of Aurora Pijuan) supposed kidnapping? Pero what turned out pala was Imee and Tommy were having an affair and were intent on getting married, etc.

 

Oh yeah, that was '81. When the Imee/Tommy news came out, naubos ang lahat ng copies ng Collegian nun sa UP.

[sliderule]

Belated greetings Liberty!

 

Pinoy, thanks for your vote of confidence but truth be told, mga 5 lang ang nasagot ko in your name that tune quiz!

Belated Happy Birthday Libay
