ATF: Hookin'

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.

Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me
Mac Davis
Girl you're gettin' that look in your eyes
And it's startin' to worry me
I ain't ready for no family ties
Nobody's gonna hurry me
Just keep it friendly girl
‘Cause I don't wanna leave
Don't start clingin' to me girl
‘Cause I can't breathe

Baby baby
Don't get hooked on me
Baby baby
Don't get hooked on me
'Cause I'll just use you
Then I'll set you free
Baby baby
Don't get hooked on me

Girl you're a hot-blooded woman-child
And it's warm where you're touchin' me
But I can tell by your tremblin' smile
You're seein' way too much in me
Girl don't let your life get tangled up with mine
'Cause I'll just leave you
I can't take no clingin' vine

Baby baby
Don't get hooked on me
Baby baby
Don't get hooked on me
'Cause I'll just use you
Then I'll set you free
Baby baby
Don't get hooked on me
Baby baby
Don't get hooked on me
Baby baby
Don't get hooked on me
'Cause I'll just use you
Then I'll set you free
Baby baby
Don't get hooked on me…

Hooked on a Feeling
Blue Swede
Ooga shaka ooga ooga…

I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl you just don't realize
What you do to me
When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right

I
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

Lips as sweet as candy
Its taste is on my mind
Girl you got me thirsty
For another cup of wine
I got it bad for you girl
But I don't need no cure
I'll just stay afflicted
If I can for sure

All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up girl
Yeah you turn me on
I
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up girl
Yeah you turn me on
I
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I said I'm hooked on a feeling
And I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

      Thanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! My dad was really close fiends with one of Mac's uncles. He never brought him by to meet us, though. We didn't get invited to any wild parties, neither. Sigh.

    These are both great songs and I enjoy hearing them on the radio from time to time.

      Thanks for stopping by, my dear Stephen!!! One of the clearest memories of my past is driving north past the high school in Neosho, MO in my '61 Chevy Apache 10 pick-up, with the sun shining brightly and Ooga shaka ooga ooga… blasting out of the speakers. No, I have no idea why that has stuck with me so clearly for the past 38(?) years.

      Thanks for stopping by, my dear Martin!!! Well, you had me at a loss until I realized that you were referring to the live version I included here. I can sure see where his concerts were a lot of fun.

      Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Martin!!! Yeah, I was working on future postings and forgot to set up the scheduling for that one. It will be actually online on May 17. Sorry for the confusion.
