"Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meatloaf are associated with Kristi in Texas.

Nope, sorry -- that's the parking lot of the dropzone at Turner's Falls :)

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I overlooked this post...

It's UB40.

I will collect my back rub at the Orfun boogie ;)



UB40 wasn't even the first to RECORD the song. No back rubs for you!

BZZZZT!

Wrongo! Thanks for playing.

What do we have as a consolation prize for our lovely contestant?

The original poster asked who wrote the song, this site gives the answer. UB40's contribution is noted in this passage.

Quote

In 1983, UB40, preparing their Labour of Love album of reggae covers, recorded a version based on the Tony Tribe treatment, unaware it had been written by Diamond. Released as a single, this recording hit number one in the U.K., earning a Top 40 placing in the U.S. in early 1984. Then, in 1988, the song was re-released after being revived by a disc jockey and topped the American charts.



Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

I heard Champagne Supernova by Oasis last night and it totally brought me back to middle school. That and "Who'll Stop the Rain" by CCR brings me back to being 5 and listening to it with my dad.

"Dust in the Wind" takes me back to my 8th grade dance. My date was Selene Marcello and I thought she was hot! She was a member of the cool group.:)



She went out with you on a dare? ;)

:D :D :D :D :D

this is better on this thread....:D

If I hear Better Than Ezra "King of New Orleans", or Jimmie's Chicken Shack "High", or the whole "Down On The Upside" album by Soundgarden... I can almost feel the cold North Dakota wind blowing through my nasty, ugly, yellow, $200.00 Ford Fiesta (with no back window...) at 6:00 am when I would make the 2 hour drive to the DZ....
or.....
I can hear Air Supply, and want to puke. only because it brings me back to a certain time in my life (7th grade dance with... damn, what was her name??? :D only one word comes to mind B|)...

Yep, I'm getting the goose bumps listening to Jimmie's Chicken Shack right now B|
HAVE FUN...
...JUST DONT DIE
