ATF: Rockin' On

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.



Rock of Ages
Def Leppard
Gunter glieben glauchen globen

Alright

I got something to say

Yeah
It's better to burn out
Yeah
Than fade away

Alright

Oh

Gonna start a fire

Come on

Rise up
Gather around
Rock this place to the ground
Burn it up
Let's go for broke
Watch the night go up in smoke
Rock on
Rock on
Drive me crazier
No serenade
No fire brigade
Just Pyromania
Come on

What do you want
What do you want
I want rock 'n' roll
Yes I do
Long live rock 'n' roll

Oh let's go
Let's strike a light
We're gonna blow like dynamite
Well I don't care
If it takes all night
Gonna set this town alight
Come on

What do you want
What do you want
I want rock 'n' roll
Alright
Long live rock 'n' roll

Rock of ages
Rock of ages
Still rollin'
Keep a-rollin'
Rock of ages
Rock of ages
Still a-rollin'
Rock 'n' rollin'
We got the power
Got the glory
Just say you need it
And if you need it
Say yeah

Heh heh heh heh

Now listen to me

I'm Burnin'
Burnin'
I got the fever
I know for sure
There ain't no cure
So feel it
Don't fight it
Go with the flow
Gimme
Gimme
Gimme
Gimme
One more for the road
Yeah

What do you want
What do you want
I want rock 'n' roll
You betcha
Long live rock 'n' roll

Rock of ages
Rock of ages
Still a-rollin'
Keep a-rollin'
Rock of ages
Rock of ages
Still a-rollin'
Rock 'n' rollin'
We got the power
Got the glory
Just say you need it
And if you need it
Say yeah

Say yeah

We're gonna burn this damn place down

Down to the ground

Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh



Rock On
David Essex
Oooh

Hey kid
Rock and roll
Rock on
Ooh my soul
Hey kid
Boogey too
Did ya
Hey shout
Summertime blues
Jump up and down
In my blue suede shoes
Hey kid
Rock and roll
Rock on

And where do we go from here
Which is the way that’s clear
Still lookin’ for that
Blue jean
Baby queen
Prettiest girl
I ever seen
See her shake
On the movie screen
Jimmy Dean
James Dean

And where do we go from here
Which is the way that’s clear
Still lookin’ for that
Blue jean
Baby queen
Prettiest girl
I ever seen
See her shake
On the movie screen
Jimmy Dean

Jimmy Dean

Rock on
Rock on
Rock on
Hey hey
Rock and roll
Rock on
Rock on
Hey hey
Rock and roll
Rock on

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! It sounds like one would do well to always have a dime for the jukebox when around you.

  2. Def Leppard & David Essex?
    Those tablets are having an effect mate!

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Adullamite!!! They really aren't strong enough, nor does the effect last as long as I would like. Nonetheless, 'tis better than nothing, I suppose. Sigh.

  3. I knew the face but do you think I could remember it? David Essex ~ of course. I wonder if that was his real name?

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Carol!!! According to his Wikipedia segment, he was born David Albert Cook, and I am quite sure that the rest of the story is that he changed his name in honor of Adullamite coming to live in Essex.

  4. A couple weeks ago I had Rock On stuck in my head for some reason. I finally got rid of it. Thanks so much for putting it back.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! You are most welcome! One can have a incredible time with some really good speakers and the echo effect of that song while plowing through the concrete jungle section of New Jersey in a big truck.
