ATF: To Eleven

This 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 your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



Make Me Lose Control
Eric Carmen
I run a comb through my hair
And step out in the street
And the city's the color of flame
In the mid-summer heat
Oh yeah
Jennifer's got her daddy's car
She's playing “Up-Town” on the stereo
We go cruisin' so close
The way they did long ago

My darlin'

Turn
Turn the radio up
For that sweet sound
Hold me close
Never let me go
Keep
Keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
Baby baby
When
 When I look in your eyes
I go crazy
Fever's high
With the lights down low
So take
Take me over the edge
Make me lose control

We put the top down and park
With the moon in the sky
And the wind is so hot in our hair
Like a fire in July
Oh yeah
Jennifer's singin' "Stand by Me"
And she knows every single word by heart
Was love always this good
Or could this be just the start

Oh darlin'

Turn
Turn the radio up
For that sweet sound
Hold me close
Never let me go
Keep
Keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
Baby baby
When
 When I look in your eyes
I go crazy
Fever's high
With the lights down low
So take
Take me over the edge
Make me lose control

Keep my baby’s clothes on
And were movin' in time
And the heat from your touch
Makes me feel like I'm losing my mind
Oh yeah
And then they played
Back in my arms again
We close our eyes
We start rememberin' when
We start to kiss
And all the feelings return
And we just pray that this night never ends

Whoa oh
My darlin'

Turn
Turn the radio up
For that sweet sound
Hold me close
Never let me go
So take
Take me over the edge
Make me lose control
Baby baby
Turn
Turn the radio up
For that sweet sound
Hold me close
Never let me go
Keep
Keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control

When I look in your eyes
I go crazy
Fever's high
With the lights down low
So take
Take me over the edge
Make me lose control
Baby baby
Turn
Turn the radio up
For that sweet sound
Hold me close
Never let me go
Keep
Keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control




Turn Up The Radio
Autograph
Turn it up

Yeah

I'm workin’ hard
You're workin’ too
We do it every day
For every minute
I have to work
I need a minute of play
Day in
Day out
All week long
Things go better with rock
The only time
I turn it down
Is when I'm sleepin' it off

Turn up
The radio
I need the music
Gimme some more
Turn up
The radio
I wanna feel it
Got to give me some more

Now listen

I wanna shake
I wanna dance
So count it of
One
Two
Three
I hear the beat
I'm in a trance
No better place to be
Daytime
Nighttime
Anytime
Things go better with rock
I'm goin' twenty-four hours a day
I can't seem to stop

Turn up
The radio
I need the music
Gimme some more
Turn up
The radio
I wanna feel it
Got to give some more
Turn up
The radio
I wanna feel it
Got to give me some more

Turn up
The radio
I need the music
Gimme some more
Yeah
Turn up
The radio
I wanna feel it
Got to give me some more
Whoa oh
Turn up
The radio
Come on
I need the music
Gimme some more
Everybody
Turn up
The Radio
Turn it up
I wanna feel it
Got to give me some more
Whoa oh
Turn up
The radio
Turn it up
I need the music
Gimme some more
Gimme some more
Turn up
The radio

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Linda!!! Well, the Autograph video is plumb stupid, but it's a great song to go crazy to while bored out of your mind on a long drive.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Marja!!! Yes, both are American. Eric Carmen was the lead singer for The Raspberries, who were big in the 70s. He was also big as a solo act in the 80s and 90s. Autograph only had one really big hit, which is the one included here from the hair-band days of the 80s.
