This weekly series
will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby
little hands on (so to speak). Now, each
one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit
only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered. For I just cannot bring myself to rate some
higher than others. So, this will not be
a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t
matter. Besides, with no countdown, this
could go on forever and ever! Oh, and
despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can
be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make. I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

On The Dark Side
John Cafferty and
The Beaver Brown Band
The dark side’s
callin’ now
Nothin’ is real
She’ll never know
Just I how I feel
From out of the
shadows
She walks like a
dream
Makes me feel crazy
Makes me feel so
mean
Ain’t nothin’ gonna
save you
From a love that’s
blind
Slip to the dark
side
You cross that line
On the dark side
Oh yeah
On the dark side
Oh yeah
The dark side’s
callin’ now
Nothin’ is real
She’ll never know
Just I how I feel
From out of the
shadows
She walks like a
dream
Makes me feel crazy
Makes me feel so
mean
Ain’t nothin’ gonna
save you
From a love that’s
blind
Slip to the dark
side
You cross that line
On the dark side
Oh yeah
On the dark side
Oh yeah
Ain’t nothin’ gonna
save you
From a love that’s
blind
Slip to the dark
side
You cross that line
On the dark side
Oh yeah
On the dark side
Oh yeah
On the dark side
Oh yeah
On the dark side
Oh yeah
Runnin’ Thru The
Fire
John Cafferty and The
Beaver Brown Band
I’ve got smokestack
lightnin’
Runnin’ through my
veins
Trouble hangin’
‘round my neck
It’s like a ball
and chain
Gotta be more than
this to bein’ alive
Every day spittin’
out nine to five
Every night runnin’
all over this town
Comin’ home feelin’
no pain
I’ve got a hunger
and a cold desire
Someday it’s gonna
take me higher
Just another small
flame
Just runnin’
through the fire
Just another small
flame
Just runnin’
through the fire
Runnin’ through the
fire
Baby it’s gonna get
hot
Runnin’ through the
fire
Honey if you’re
ready or not
Runnin’ through the
fire
Honey no way you
turn
Runnin’ through the
fire
Baby you’re gonna
get burned
I’m rollin’ down
the alleyway
Headin’ for the
neon lights
I’ve got a soul
full of strugglin’
Need a little mercy
tonight
This world’s askin’
just a little too much
Honey I need a
lovin’ tender touch
Just move your body
close to mine
Make everything all
right
I’ve got a hunger
and a cold desire
Someday it’s gonna
take me higher
Just another small
flame
Just runnin’
through the fire
Just another small
flame
Just runnin’
through the fire
Runnin’ through the
fire
Baby it’s gonna get
hot
Runnin’ through the
fire
Honey if you’re
ready or not
Runnin’ through the
fire
Baby no way you
turn
Runnin’ through the
fire
Baby you’re gonna
get burned
Runnin’ through the
fire
Baby it’s gonna get
hot
Runnin’ through the
fire
Honey if you’re
ready or not
Runnin’ through the
fire
Baby no way you
turn
Runnin’ through the
fire
Baby you’re gonna
get burned
Runnin’ through the
fire
Baby it’s gonna get
hot
Runnin’ through the
fire
Honey if you’re
ready or not
Runnin’ through the
fire
Baby no way you
turn
Runnin’ through the
fire
Baby you’re gonna
get burned

I love that movie. I've seen it a few times. I've got the soundtrack on cassette here somewhere...or I did have once.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! :)
Now your tawkin' - Love Eddie and the Cruisers, tho I like Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives better ("Eddie, Eddie!). Got both cd's. My fav is "Some Like It Hot"
ReplyDeleteNo Manfred Mann they....
ReplyDeleteThe first one is one of my favorites
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! Arlynda and I have watched both movies several times. "Tender Years" from the first movie is also one of our favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Grace!!! It is so good to hear from you again. I also like the second movie better than the first on account of the story-line being about him reemerging from the shadows. I don't remember, "Some Like It Hot." I'll make sure and check it out, though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Adullamite!!! Nope, John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band is an American band, which makes them inherently inferior in comparison to British bands--right?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! Duke is most definitely having some good influence upon you.
ReplyDeleteGreat memory from another great Michael Pare movie. After the fantastic Streets of Fire. I remember sitting in the theatre just stunned after that last scene. I need to watch this one again to see if it holds up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Kal!!! Oh yeah, my wife and I absolutely love Streets of Fire, as well. If you have not already found it, the link below takes you to a video (maybe both videos) that you will want to see.
