VENUS
(Van Leeuwen)
The Shocking Blue - 1969 (The Netherlands)
Banarama - 1986


A godess on a mountain top,
was burning like a silver flame.
The summit of beauty she was,
and Venus was her name.

She's got it, Yeah baby she's got it.
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire.
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire.

Her weapons were her crystal eyes,
making every man a man.
Black as a darknight she was,
got what no one else had.

She's got it, Yeah baby she's got it.
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire.
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire.
Shocking Blue (The Netherlands)


The goddess on the mountain top
was burning like a silver flame
the summit of beauty and love
and Venus was her name

chorus

She's got it, yeah baby she's got it
well I'm your Venus
I'm your fire, at your desire
She's got it, yeah baby she's got it
well I'm your Venus
I'm your fire, at your desire

Her weapons were her crystal eyes
making every man she met
black as the dark night she was
got what no-one else had

Eleanor had nothing to fear but that dog of hers? Not this sweet little dog?

Venus -- Frankie Avalon


Hey, Venus! Oh, Venus!

Venus if you will
Please send a little girl for me to thrill.
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you.

Venus, make her fair
A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair.
And take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me.

Venus, goddess of love that you are,
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task.

Venus, if you do
I promise that I always will be true.
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live.

Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task.

Venus if you do
I promise that I always will be true.
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live.

Hey, Venus! Oh, Venus!
Make my wish come true

Ah...y'all are making me blush!

don't stop blushing just yet

Venus in Blue Jeans
Jimmy Clanton

She's Venus in blue jeans
Mona Lisa with a ponytail
She's a-walkin' talkin' work of art
She's the girl who stole my heart
My Venus in blue jeans
Is the Cinderella I adore
She's my very special angel too
A fairy tale come true
They say there's seven wonders in the world
But what they say is out of date
There's more than seven wonders in the world
I just met number eight
My Venus in blue jeans
Is ev'rything I hoped she'd be
A teenage goddess from above
And she belongs to me
She's Venus in blue jeans
Mona Lisa with a ponytail
She's a-walkin' talkin' work of art
She's the girl who stole my heart
My Venus in blue jeans
Is the Cinderella I adore
She's my very special angel too
A fairy tale come true
They say there's seven wonders in the world
But what they say is out of date
There's more than seven wonders in the world
I just met number eight
My Venus in blue jeans
Is ev'rything I hoped she'd be
A teenage goddess from above
And she belongs to me

Look out, Eva. When a person blushes they have just moved into the affective domain. That is a very dangerous place to be when it's hot.

Raggedy, even lovable little terriers can be meaner than a striped snake when they're in heat.

Well, listeners, I guess this is luv evening and night.

Thanks to all for the fantastic songs.

Driving in my car, smoking my cigar,
The only time I'm happy's when I play my guitar.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.*
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Singing in my yacht, what a lot I got,
Happiness is something that just cannot be bought.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
I've been in and I'm out, I've been up and down,
I don't want to go until I've been all around.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
What's it all about, anyone in doubt,
I don't want to go until I've found it all out.**

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Just heard this song online.

I know, we should advertise here other radio programs .... but THIS is really a great site, FM-quality, 128K digital radio stream, freely available. ( Just click "PLAY NOW," and you're up and running :wink: )

i once remarked that when ever i heard this song it made me think of our cowboy, and the lady diane said i was right on in thinking that

here's one for dys

Return of the Grievous Angel
Gram Parsons

Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
And welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor
And I'll show you how it all went down

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town

Oh, and I remember something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

`Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with the waves of grain

And I saw my devil,
and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to Tennessee

We flew straight across that river bridge,
last night a half past two
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye
and so long as we went rolling through
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
And now I know just what I have to do

And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
He wants to take my money for something
that I've never been shown

And I saw my devil,
and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to Tennessee

The news I could bring I met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
And lighted out for some desert town

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town

Oh, but I remembered something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

Well, folks, there's our Walter. Great to see you back, Germany. Now our station is really complete. (you really look nothing like George, but you are both handsome devils)

Liked the cigar car song, and you can advertise anything here that you want. After all, this is not exactly a paying station.

and our sweet dj is dedicating a song to our cowboy.

Well, Letty has to take a break. It's getting hot in our studio and I need to switch on the fans. (I mean the mechanical ones.)

Nelly
Hot In Herre

Hot in.....
So hot in herre.....
So hot in.....

[Nelly]
I was like, good gracious ass bodacious
Flirtatcious, tryin to show faces
Lookin for the right time to shoot my steam (you know)
Lookin for the right time to flash them G's
Then um I'm leavin, please believin
Me and the rest of my heathens
Check it, got it locked at the top of the four seasons
Penthouse, roof top, birds I feedin
No deceivin, nothin up my sleeve, no teasin
I need you to get up up on the dance floor
Give that man what he askin for
Cuz I feel like bustin loose and I feel like touchin you
And cant nobody stop the juice so baby tell me whats the use

[Hook x2]
(I said)
Its gettin hot in here (so hot)
So take off all your clothes

I am gettin so hot, I wanna take my clothes off

[Nelly]
Why you at the bar if you aint poppin the bottles
What good is all the fame if you aint doin the models
I see you drivin, sportscar, aint hittin the throttle
And I be down, and do a hundred, top down and goggles
Get off the freeway, exit 106 and parked it
Ash tray, flip gate, time to spark it
Gucci collar for dollar, got out and walked it
I spit game cuz baby I cant talk it
Warm, sweatin its hot up in this joint
VOKAL tanktop, all on at this point
Your with a winner so baby you cant loose
I got secrets cant leave Cancun
So take it off like your home alone
You know dance in front your mirror while your on the phone
Checkin your reflection and tellin your best friend,
like "girl I think my butt gettin big"

[Hook x2]

Came back with somethin thicker than fittin in sasoons
Say she like to think about cuttin in restrooms

Damn, it's tough being a program director, listeners. That job requires Miss Letty to keep her cool when everyone else is losing theirs.

but, folks:

Jerry Reed
Song: When You'Re Hot, You'Re Hot


Well me and Homer Jones and Big John Talley
Had a big crap game goin' back in the alley
And I kept rollin' them sevens, winnin' all them pots
My luck was so good I could do no wrong
I jest kept on rollin' and controllin' them bones
And finally they jest threw up their hands and said
"When you hot, you hot"
I said "Yeah?"

When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not
Put all the money in and let's roll 'em again
When you're hot, you're hot
(La la la la la la la) (La la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, when you're hot, you're hot)

Well, now every time I rolled them dice I'd win
And I was just gettin' ready to roll 'em again
When I heard somethin' behind me
I turned around and there was a big old cop
He said "Hello, boys" and then he gave us a grin 'n' said
"Look like I'm gonna hafta haul you all in
And keep all that money for evidence"
I said, "Well, son when you hot, you hot"
He said "Yeah"

When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not
You can 'splain it all down at City Hall
I say, yeah, when you're hot, you're hot
You're hot
(La la la la la la la) (La la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, when you're hot, you're hot)

Well, when he took us inta court I couldn't believe my eyes
The judge was a fishin' buddy that I recognized
I said "Hey, judge, old buddy, old pal"
"I'll pay ya that hundred I owe ya if you'll get me outta this spot"
So he gave my friends a little fine to pay
He turned around and grinned at me and said
"Ninety days, Jerry, when you hot, you hot"
'N' I said "Thanks a lot"

When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not
He let my friends go free and throwed the book at me
He said "Well, when you're hot, you're hot"

I said, "Well I'll tell ya one thing judge, old buddy, old pal
If you wasn't wearin' that black robe I'd take out in back of this courthouse
And I'd try a little bit of your honor on
You understand that, you hillbilly?
Who gonna collect my welfare?"
(When you're hot, you're hot)
"Pay for my Cadillac?
Whadda you mean 'contempt of court'?"
(When you're hot, you're hot)
"Judge"
"O Judge!"

Whose that guy with Jerry? <smile>

Oops, listeners. I stretched and so did our studio monitor.

Now that it's quiet and cool, a song that reflects the mood:


Tenderly


The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly

Here I lay all alone
Tossin turning
Longing for some of your
Tender Love

I'm waiting for the right
moment to come
So I can thank you for
All the tender love you've given to me

Tender love (Tender love)
Love so tender (love)
Pulling me close to you
baby I surrender

Candles they light the dark
Now I see how lovely the feelings are
All the tender love you've given to me

I want you more and more
Can't resist you
Oh then I feel your touch
Tender love

And you're loving me straight from the heart
Hold me nearer
Please let me be a part
of the tend love you're giving to me

Tender love (tender love)
Love so tender
Holding me close to you
Baby I surrender

ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh whooo yeah
surrender baby
la la la la la la la la la
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
ohh (tender love) ohh ohh ohh

Please let me be a part
of the tender love you're giving to me

here's a song by fred eaglesmith (who'll be appearing here before month-end, i read).
-----------------------------------------------------------
I Like Trains
Fred Eaglesmith

Am
sixteen miles from arkadelphia
E7
right near the texas border
traffic was stopped at a railway crossing
Am
I took it to the border
I stoked the kettle I put it to the metal
F
I shook the gravel loose
E
I missed the train but I was happy with
E7 Am
a glimpse of the caboose

(chorus)
cause I like trains
E
I like fast trains
E7 Am
I like trains that call out through the rain
I like trains
F
I like sad trains
E E7
I like trains that whisper your name

I was born on a greyhound bus
my momma was a diesel engine
they tried to put me behind the wheel
but I wouldn+IBk-t let them
you should have seen the look in their eyes
and how it turned to tears
when I finally told them I wanna be an engineer

in a similar mood, i highly recommend Big Mountain's reggae rendition of this pop tune:

Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city
But don't hesitate 'cuz your love won't wait

Ooooh baby, I love your way, every day
Wanna tell you I love your way, every day
Wanna be with you night and day

Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some fire flies
I wonder how they have the power
To shine, shine, shine
I can see them under the pine
But don't hesitate 'cuz your love won't wait

Ooooh baby, I love your way, every day
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day

But don't hesitate 'cuz your love won't wait
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey and blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
I wish I could buy one out of season
But don't hesitate 'cuz your love won't wait

Ooooh, baby I love your way, every day
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day

Ooooh baby, I love your way, every day
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day

I always love to see the different songs that our contributors play here. In a way it's quite defining, no?

hamburger's trains--shari's tossing and turning--Mr. Turtle's blue mountains and shadows. All, all of them telling songs.

It depends, listeners, on the velvet and the satin, or the lack thereof.

Just listening in my mind.

So, who is the guy with Jerry?

And who the hell is Jerry?

(Ritchie Adams and Malou Rene)

I couldn't sleep at all last night
Got to thinkin' of you
Baby things weren't right
Well I was tossin' and turnin'
Turnin' and tossin'
a-tossin' and turnin' all night

I kicked the blankets on the floor
Turned my pillow upside down
I never never did before
'cause I was tossin' and turnin'
Turnin' and tossin'
a-tossin' and turnin' all night

Jumped out of bed
Turned on the light
I pulled down the shade
Went to the kitchen for a bite
Rolled up the shade
Turned off the light
I jumped back into bed
It was the middle of the night

The clock downstairs was strikin' four
Couldn't get you off my mind
I heard the milkman at the door
'cause I was tossin' and turnin'
Turnin' and tossin'
a-tossin' and turnin' all night

Jumped out of bed
Turned on the light
I pulled down the shade
Went to the kitchen for a bite
Rolled up the shade
Turned off the light
I jumped back into bed
It was the middle of the night

The clock downstairs was strikin' four
Couldn't get you off my mind
I heard the milkman at the door
'cause I was tossin' and turnin'
Turnin' and tossin'
a-tossin' and turnin' all, yay, yay, yay
I was a-tossin' and turnin'

[Fade]

Turnin' and tossin'
