Farty's Friday Chart

Given the events of this week, it was either going to be this or Bob the Builder.

Prognosis

Go on, name that tune.

    70's Rock Must Die by Lard featuring Al Jourgensen, who is also in the Revolting Cocks

    "I was cruisin' in a car
    Down Melrose Boulevard
    When I stopped all the traffic
    I was laughin' so hard
    Standin' on the corner
    Was this rock n roll dude
    In leather pants thinkin' he was so cool
    He had the jacket,
    He had the shades
    Farrah Fawcet hair,
    Or was that a wig?
    Face like a turtle
    Trying in vain to look stoned
    You could tell he'd been practicing
    In a mirror at home
    He'd probably been posing like that all day
    Didn't matter that it was a hundred degrees
    In the shade

    Well c'mawn, well c'mawn
    70's rock must die
    Well c'mawn, well c'mawn
    70's rock must die

    Bogus bands, plastic rock stars
    Stupid clothes and the worst made cars
    Country rock making us all sick
    While John Travolta wags his double-knit prick

    Being a teen back then,
    Man, it was a drag
    Bicentennial and no one burned the flag
    You think we live in
    Pretty desperate times
    When people want to go back to 1975
    My Saturday Night Fever fantasy:
    Lock the Bee Gees in a Pinto
    And ram it from the rear
    Burn, baby!

    Well c'mawn, well c'mawn
    70's rock must die
    Well c'mawn, well c'mawn
    70's rock must die

    Ooh babe, yeh yeh yeh
    We may not have talent
    But we sure got attitude

    Suck my ego, pay to play
    Got nothing more to say
    As we sell you a stairway to boredom

    Look around at the hip people
    Set in their ways
    Reaching back to the things they used to say they hate
    Young old farts playing fossil rock
    Pistols reunions pass for rebellion

    Radio and TV gettin' so damn bland
    With collegiate boy Neil Young copy bands
    Underground's becoming an Alternative joke
    Even Aerosmith hates all the Aerosmith clones
    I know they don't make 'em like the Son of Sam
    But even punks wanna go back to '77 ?!?!
    Gimme a break, man...

    Well c'mawn, well c'mawn
    70's rock must die
    Well c'mawn, well c'mawn
    70's rock must die"

    I am so rubbish at these, I haven't gotten one yet.
    So for today's song, I'm going to say it's "Flow" buy Sade, which did well in the *charts* (see what I did there?).

    Mr H - ALL THE LYRICS!! That's just excessively keen. I'm going with Rocket Man. Surely you'd need shades as he exploded through the atmosphere?

    But the lyrics are so kule.

    How could I pick a sample from all the genius wot Big Al came up with.

    Laurie - Even I had to google it to remind me of the band, well done!

    #Debi - Groovy!

    Mr H - Wrong.

    Anna - "Charts" - haha! Nice try.

    Taffeta - I think he'd need more than shades. And I'm working on your meme.

    John - Seriously? I remember it being very popular at the time. Let me jog your memory.
