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.

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

Light up the sky like a flame

Remember my name
