ATF: Seeking Fame

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) 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 you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Cover of the Rolling Stone
Dr. Hook
I don't believe it
Don't touch me
Hey Ray
Hey Sugar
Tell them who we are

Well we're big rock singers
We’ve got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
That sounds like us
We sing about beauty
And we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show
Right
We take all kinds of pills
That give us all kinds of thrills
But the thrill we'll never know
Is the thrill that'll getcha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rollin’ Stone

Rollin' Stone
Wanna see my picture on the cover
Stone
Wanna buy five copies for my mother
Yes
Stone
Wanna see my smilin' face
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone
That's a very very good idea

I got a freaky ol’ lady
Name of Cocaine Katy
Who embroideries on my jeans
I got my poor ol’ grey-haired daddy
Drivin' my limousine
Now it's all designed
To blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll getcha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone

Rollin' Stone
Wanna see my pictures on the cover
Stone
Wanna buy five copies for my mothers
Yeah
Stone
Wanna see my smilin' face
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone
Hey
Sure enough

I know how
Rock and roll
Ah that's beautiful

We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who’ll do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian guru
Who's teachin’ us a better way
We got all the friends
That money can buy
So we never have to be alone
No
And we keep getting’ richer
But we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone

Rollin' Stone
Wanna see my picture on the cover
Stone
Wanna buy five copies for my mother
I want one
Stone
Wanna see my smilin' face
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone
On the cover of the Rollin'
Stone
And us
Wanna see my picture on the cover
I don't know why we ain't on the cover baby
Stone
Wanna buy five copies for my mothers
We're beautiful fellows
Stone
Wanna see my smilin' face
On the cover of the Rollin’ Stone

I ain't kiddin' ya
We would make a beautiful cover
Fresh shot
Right up front man
I can see it now
We'd be on the front
Smilin' man
Aah
Beautiful



Fame
Irene Cara
Baby
You look at me
And tell me what you see
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time
I'll make you forget the rest
I've got more in me
And you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hand
Don't you know who I am
Remember my name

Fame
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
High
I feel it comin’ together
People will see me and cry
Fame
I'm gonna make it to Heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Baby
Remember my name
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember

Baby
Hold me tight
Because you can make it right
You can shoot me straight to the top
Give me love
And take all I've got to give
Baby
I'll be tough
Too much is not enough
No
I'll grab your heart
Until it breaks
You got what it takes

Fame
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
High
I feel it comin’ together
People will see me and cry
Fame
I'm gonna make it to Heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Baby
Remember my name
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember

Fame
I'm gonna make it to Heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Baby
Remember my name
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember my name
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Fame
I'm gonna learn how to fly
High
I feel it comin’ together
Fame
People will see me and cry
Remember my name
Fame
I'm gonna make it to Heaven

  2. Hey there Jerry,
    How are you sir... (heavy on the sir)

    I haven't talked to you in a long time. I haven't forgotten you either.
    I was just praying for you the other night too.
    I hope that all is well with you. My wife and I have fallen on tough times.
    God will provide though. Of this I am sure.
    I look forward to hearing from you sometime.
