You're all forgetting the classic... Meat Loaf, Bat out of Hell

Re-read my second post - you obviously had a 'man look' the first time! How could anyone forget Meatloaf!

I have a bike song.......

HELL MARCH!

[Crasherfromwayback]

I've Been Tired- The Pixies.

And even thought it's not about bikes, it is about one of our favourite pieces of bike clothing.....'Love My Leather Jacket'- The Chills.

The Eagles - Take it to the Limit

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

The older riders amongst us are undoubtedly deliberately overlooking "The Leader of the Pack" by the Shangri-Las. In fact, I feel that there might be a few red reps coming this way for mentioning the hideous thing. It's the one that sounds like a Honda 50 being revved at the end of each verse

"hey, betty? is that jimmy's ring you're wearing?"
"uh huh."
"oh! must be nice riding on that motorcycle after school, huh?"
"uh huh."
"is he picking you up after school today?"
"unh uh!"
"well, where'd ya meet him?"

I met him at the candy store.
He turned around and smiled at me.
Ya get the picture? (yes, we see)
That's when i fell for the leader of the pack.

My folks were always puttin' him down.
Down! down!
They said he came from the wrong side of town.
They told me that he was bad,
But i knew that he was sad.
And thats why i fell for the leader of the pack.

One day my dad said, "find someone new."
New! new!
I had to tell my jimmy that,
Whoa, we were through.
He stood up and then he asked me why.
But all i could do was cry.
I'm sorry i hurt you,
The leader of the pack.

He sort of smiled and he kissed me goodbye.
The tears were beginning to show.
And as he rode away from me
On that rainy, rainy night,
I begged him to go slow.
But whether he heard me
I'll never, never, never, never know!
Look out now, now, look out!
Whoa oh no no no! whoa no no no! no! no!

I felt so helpless! what could i do-wo-wo-wo-wo?
The only, only love that we had was through.
At school they all stop and stare.
I can't hide the tears.
I just don't care!
I will never forget you,
The leader of the pack!
Whoa-oo-woh! gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!
The leader of the pack is,
Now he's gone!
The leader of the pack is,
Now he's gone!
The leader of the pack is, whoa gone!
Gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!

'Fire Lake' by Bob Seger

'Bat out of Hell'? me and 18000(?) other people sang along to that song one damp evening in Christchurch about 3 years ago while the big fella belted it out for us on stage. One of life's unforgetable moments. Oh yeah!

Not the most positive lyrics on that one..something about "torn and twisted in a wrecked bike" I don't think those are the songs we need .(just my opinion )

Yeah. I remember watching something that explained the song. Steinman wanted to write something to rival those car wreck songs of the late 50s and 60s. "Leader of the pack', 'Tell Laura I love Her', 'Teen Angel' etc.

Dont forget "Turn the page" I think it was a Bob Seger song

Correct.

"On a long and lonesome highway, east of omaha.
You can listen to the engine moaning out its one lone song
You can think about woman, or the girl you knew the night before,
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do.
When your riding sixteen hours and theres nothing much to do
And you dont feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through.
Say, here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page."
