ATF: Timely Tunes

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.

I’m in a Hurry
Alabama
I’m in a hurry
To get things done
Oh I
Rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why

Don’t know why
I have to drive so fast
My car has nothing to prove
It’s not new
But it’ll do zero to sixty
In five point two

Oh
I’m in a hurry
To get things done
Oh I
Rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why

Can’t be late
I leave in plenty of time
Shakin’ hands with the clock
I can’t stop
I’m on a roll
And I’m ready to rock

Oh
I’m in a hurry
To get things done
Oh I
Rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why

Oh I hear a voice
That says I’m runnin’ behind
I better pick up my pace
It’s a race
And there ain’t
No room for someone in second place

I’m in a hurry
To get things done
I rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why
I’m in a hurry
To get things done
Oh I
Rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why
I’m in a hurry
To get things done
Oh I
Rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why
I’m in a hurry
To get things done
Oh I
Rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why

Slow Ride
Foghat
Ooh

Oh oh
Slow ride
Take it easy
Slow ride
Take it easy
Slow ride
Take it easy
Slow ride
Take it easy

I'm in the mood
The rhythm is right
Move to the music
We can roll all night

Ooh
Slow ride

Ooh
Slow ride
Take it easy
Slow ride
Take it easy
Slow down
Go down
Got to get your lovin'
One more time
Hold me
Roll me
Slow-ridin' woman
You're so fine

I'm in the mood
The rhythm is right
Move to the music
Yeah
We can roll all night
Yeah

Ooh
Slow ride
Take it easy
Slow ride
Take it easy
Slow down
Go down
Got to get your lovin'
One more time
Hold me
Roll me
Slow-ridin' woman
You're so fine

Slow ride
Easy
Slow ride
Sleazy
Slow ride
Easy
Slow ride
Sleazy

  2. Alabama was really popular back in the day. I haven't heard much of their music in a while.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Stephen!!! Back while Sam and I were married, we went to see them in concert at the old Barnhill Arena on the University of Arkansas main campus in Fayetteville. She got to kiss the lead singer, Randy Owen, after the concert, which might have been the beginning of the end of our marriage. Before that, we saw them in concert at the Empire Fair here in Springfield when they were starting to reach national prominence (1979?).

  5. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! Foghat had two smash hits over here. Slow Ride was by far their biggest, but they also had Fool for the City, which should get your toes to tappin'.

  8. PS sorry I've been absent of late, we sold our house about 2 months ago, and have now found our new home. We'll be relocating to the coast, semi-retiring, although our business is still running from up here and will continue to do so, thusly.... lots of things to arrange, organise, plan, and of course *grin* pay..... but you are not forgotten, I miss you guys, and once settled, will be back on a more regular basis. Just thought I'd let you know...

    1. Thanks for stopping by (twice, even) my dear Shadow!!! Thank you for letting me know what has been going on. Even though you keep insisting that you are personally doing just fine, with your poetry often being so very dark, it is easy to imagine something bad has happened when you disappear for weeks at a time.

      Would you at least publish a short notice the next time you will be out of the mix for a while? It is very easy for me to feel very close to people I interact with on a fairly regular basis--despite never actually meeting them in person. Yeah, I know it sounds plumb pathetic, but it is like a close member of my family is missing, and I do not think I am the only one who feels like this--especially about others as special as you.

    2. I consider myself reprimanded *grin* and will most certainly endeavour to not disappear unannounced. You are very precious to me too, and I would not want to worry you. Have a happy weekend! Lotsa love...

    3. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Shadow!!! Okay, you are forgiven, but you're still grounded for the next two weeks, young lady!
