[SweetZombieJesus]

Poll question: Best Song With "Rock N Roll" in the title?

If KISS wins, I will be forced to kill myself.

[CO Liberal]

1. Rock & Roll Is Here To Stay - Danny & The Juniors

:-)

[Richardo]

5. Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo

Rick Derringer

Great thumping gutairs

[Lost4words]

36. Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo by Johnny Winter IMO

[Twillig]

6. "You can't kill Rock and Roll"

w/ the superb Randy Rhoads on guitar.

How many times can they fill me with lies and I listen, again
Twisting the truth and they're playin' around with my head O.K.
The things they will do and the things they will say
When they don't really understand
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries
For the reason today.

And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve.

Leave me alone don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock'n'roll is my religion and my law

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

7. Rock And Roll Part II (Gary Glitter)!

What other song can there be? It's the world's roller rink standard! (Part I is pretty good, too...)

On edit: Also, Rock And Roll Hootchie Coo (not even sure who wrote it) and also, BTO's Rock Is My Life, And This Is My Song...

[roughsatori]

9. "Rock N Roll Suicide" by David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars

Is still pretty good.

[AquariDem]

10. "Rock and Roll N____?" What the...

Would someone enlighten me as to what this song is about??

[mitchum]

16. A great sounding, but thematically stupid, song by Patti Smith

The basic conceit was that figures such as Jackson Pollock, Jesus Christ, and Jimi Hendrix were "niggers" because of their outsider status. Patti fails to realise that those figures chose the message or aesthetic path which resulted in their outsider status. No one who was ever actually called a "nigger", chose to be defined as such.

17. "Rock N Roll Hoochie Coo" by Rick Derringer!

Rock n roll hoochie coo
rock n roll hoochie coo <- background singers
Lordy mama, light my fuse
light my fuse < - background singers
Rock n roll hoochie coo
rock n roll hoochie coo <- background singers
drop on out and spread the news

skeeters start a buzzin bout this time a year
I'm goin round back said she'd meet me there
we were rollin in (up?) the grass grows behind the barn
when my ears started ringin like a fire alarm

(chorus)

(spoken) did somebody say keep on rockin?

(guitar solo)

I hope you all know what I'm talkin about
the way they wiggle that thing really knocks me out
gettin high all the time, hope you all are too
come on little pussy gonna do it to you

(chorus) x 2

that i'm tired of payin dues
rock n roll hoochie coo <- background singers

rock n roll hoochie coo <- background singers
lordy mama, light my fuse

25. You can't kill rock'n'roll ( simply he best................)

You can't kill rock'n'roll

Osbourne - Rhoads - Daisley)
How many times can they fill me with lies and I listen, again
Twisting the truth and they're playin' around with my head O. K.
The things they will do and the things they will say
When they don't really understand
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries
For the reason today.
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve.
Leave me alone don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock'n'roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock'n'roll it's here to stay.
Looking through eyes of time mirrors reflecting their stories untrue
Promises promises, telling me all of my glories overdue.
How many times have I heard it before
And I'll probably hear it again
King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table fight
Losing to you.
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve.
Leave me alone don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock'n'roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock'n'roll it's here to stay.
Even the rhymes that they give me in times of confession ain't true
Outcome is obvious all for them none for us meaning you too.
The things they will do and the things they will say
When they don't really understand.
Fear of rejection I need their protection
I'm making a stand.
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve.
Leave me alone don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock'n'roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock'n'roll it's here to stay.
Leave me alone don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock'n'roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock'n'roll it's here to stay.
