The 1977 Song Draft (1 Viewer)

[Tremendous Upside]

well #### me:

Eric Clapton - "Lay Down Sally"

Damn. This was on my list.

I crossed it off as ineligible. Have to double checkPM sent to Monsieur Tufnel for my 6th pick

Defintiely eligible...Off of Slowhand, a '77 release...

 

[simey]

Yeah, but JML has 'The Book' . . .

that book was wrong about "Rio."

 

[Uncle Humuna]

Yeah, but JML has 'The Book' . . .

that book was wrong about "Rio."

DOH!

 

[Real Man of Genius]

6.07 Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - Santa Esmeralda Santa Esmeralda

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Yeah, but JML has 'The Book' . . .

that book was wrong about "Rio."

It was a first edition. I'd have to see if the 7th edition has it updated.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

6.07 Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - Santa Esmeralda Santa Esmeralda

Used to excellent effect in Kill Bill...

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Hov's pick:

Steve Miller Band – “Swingtown”

 

[Tremendous Upside]

The Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter 23

Still love the Shuggie Otis original a bit more, but this is a great version of a great song...

 

[Real Man of Genius]

Hov's pick:

Steve Miller Band – “Swingtown”

Apologies to the SMB fans in the room, but this song makes me want to throw my radio out the window more than any other song in the history of ever, maybe.Ooo oooohhhh

Ooo oooohhhh

Come on and dance, come on and dance

Let's make some romance

You know the night is fallin'

And the music's callin'

And we've got to get down to Swingtown

 

[Uncle Humuna]

Hov's pick:

Steve Miller Band – “Swingtown”

This song exemplified why 8-tracks sucked.The long intro that builds with each instrument joining in, was cut in two - fading out, click, then fading back in . . .

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Does someone have wildbill's pick? TU?

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Does someone have wildbill's pick? TU?

Just sent me one, which I used for his last pick...

You guys took a bunch of rock songs I wanted, so I'm going disco again.

Samantha Sang - Emotion

With great backing vocals by the Bee Gees. Wouldn't be surprised if they wrote and produced it as well.

I have had to look this up more than once. At least you had the nuts to ask.

 

[wildbill]

The Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter 23

Still love the Shuggie Otis original a bit more, but this is a great version of a great song...

Another one I'd have been glad to take. I know this was used in the movie Jackie Brown, but I can't remember where. Was it when Ordell killed Beaumont?

Samantha Sang - Emotion

With great backing vocals by the Bee Gees.  Wouldn't be surprised if they wrote and produced it as well.

Which is the band and which is the song?

You definitely know this one. The Bee Gees sing the most forceful parts of the chorus ... so a lot of people think it's credited to them. Samantha's parts don't stand out compared to Barry's falsetto.

Foreigner- Feels Like The First Time

Because....admit it, there was a time, long before Waiting For a Girl Like You and I Want To Know What Love Is, that you really, really liked Foreigner. And '77 was about that time.

[DCThunder]

6.16--Barbra Streisand--"Evergreen"

 

[JZilla]

Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla

Brian Eno - King's Lead Hat

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla

I wouldn't have let anyone else draft this song, anyway.

 

[JZilla]

Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla

I wouldn't have let anyone else draft this song, anyway.

Funny thing is, this was Jethro's round and it was his pick

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla

I wouldn't have let anyone else draft this song, anyway.

Funny thing is, this was Jethro's round and it was his pick

"Oh no, they say he's got to go, go, go, Godzilla JZilla!"

 

[FairWarning]

Biggest upset is theat UH took 4 pop songs with his first 4 picks. 

Just wait . . .

I knew that Grateful Dead pick was lurking (5th round).One of my 5 favorite songs is still out there from 1977. Whoever gets it will probably get my vote.

7.02--Sanford Townsend Band--"Smoke From a Distant Fire"

 

[FairWarning]

Hov's pick:

Steve Miller Band – “Swingtown”

This song exemplified why 8-tracks sucked.The long intro that builds with each instrument joining in, was cut in two - fading out, click, then fading back in . . .

Exactly. I still have some floating around. Last one I can remember buying was Def Leppard - High and Dry. First one I ever owned was Elton John - Don't Shoot Me.

 

[zamboni]

Junior is offline, but I will PM him.

 

[amnesiac]

[Leroy Hoard]

Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla

Brian Eno - King's Lead Hat

Two excellent choices, but I had you pegged for an ELO song.
