Elvin Biship, "Fooled Around and Fell In Love"
On: Struttin' My Stuff (1975)
What the song is about: Pretty self-explanatory...a fuck-and-run guy meets the right girl and suddenly grow a heart.
Why I'm listening to it: I created "Ambrosia radio" on Pandora, and this song is one in a stream of soft rock hits that the station keeps repeating. I hated it at first...I thought it was kind of hokey...now it's growing on me.
Best lyric: "It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked/ I'd get out my book and write down her name/ But when the grass got a little greener over on the other side/ I'd just tear out that page." That's just cooooollllllddddd-bloooooooded!


T. Rex, "The Slider"
On: The Slider (1972)
What the song is about: I have no fucking clue...and that's about as much as I know about most of T.Rex's lyrics.
Why I fell asleep listening to it: This is one of the first vinyls I ever bought...I didn't know who T.Rex was at the time, I just really liked the cover (and it was $1)...and T. Rex became one of my favorite artists EVER...I listen to this record whenever I just need to feel better. I felt kind of shitty last night.
Best lyric: Oh the lyrics suck...I'm sure he was just pulling words out a hat ("I have never never nearly nosed before"....WTF? Is that a drug reference....Actually, that would make sense...)
Best part of the song: I've always kind of melted during the intro, because it's so simple...the distortion is warm and fuzzy, the beat it steady....it's a just a good groove...you just know right from the beginning that's going to be a good four minutes.
