'cant believe no one has come in with "smoke on the water" yet, and how about a good old 60"s soul classic, "wade in the water" by ramsey lewis.' excellent choices...'smoke on the water' has a memorable riff...and, I remember at Elysian Park in LA in 1969 and the band was playin' 'wade in the water' and there was a gurl casually dancing on the stage with her butt moving in an hypnotic manner with the music (I remember that she had short dark bobbed hair and wore tight 'capri' pants) and then the LAPD 'waded' in with batons and smashed the place up for 'illegal assembly'... those were the days...

StreetCowboy Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Many rivers to cross On the banks, of the river... Crimea River (possibly mispelt) and then we can get on to specific rivers Fog on the Tyne... Ferry cross the Mersey Singin in the rain Its Rainin' Men Can't stand the rain! Its rainin' in my heart...

Now that is a setting for "Black Water!" "Smoke on the Water" and "Wade in the Water" are also classics! I think I need to download those for my iPod now that you have me humming them. A lot of critics don't seem to like it, but "Down by the River" is one of my favorite Springsteen songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
