Where is Honaloochie and how do they Boogie????

[theabbeyabbott]

Not too sure there mate but it was no 12 in 1973.

 

I was a city child with a dead-end smile

And a worm's-eye point of view

Oh I knew my way, I was a back-street stray

And I had my eyes on you

 

Now I got this friend and he's a screwdriver-jiver

You know, some kinda automobeat on the street

And he has converted me to rock'n'roll

 

I just wanna dance to

Honaloochie boogie yeah

Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie yeah

You sure started somethin'

 

Now my hair gets longer as the beat gets stronger

Wanna tell Chuck Berry my news

I get my kicks outta guitar licks

And I've sold my steel-toed shoes

 

Now I got this friend and he's a spider west-sider

You know, he's hung up on a protection rejection thing

But I have made him see the light

 

He just wanna dance to

Honaloochie boogie yeah

Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie yeah

You sure started somethin'

 

Honaloochie boogie yeah

Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie yeah

You sure started somethin'

Who's that by?

[coupwotcoup]

fnar, fnar...Wasn't there a Bowie song off Ziggy Stardust or Hunky Dory that gives Dylan a plug?

[Mr Happy]

If you are talking about plugs then you cannot get much bigger than Don McLean's American Pie.

 

Marillion's Gazpacho had a recording of John Lennon in the intro and Steve Hogarth's Dinosaur Thing was a pop at the Galagher brothers

[lovely stuff]

When Smokey Sings - ABC

[Hookey]

Quote:

fnar, fnar...Wasn't there a Bowie song off Ziggy Stardust or Hunky Dory that gives Dylan a plug?

He did but it was under Dylan's real name of Robert Zimmerman.

[Hookey]

Hunky Dory-Track 9. "A song for Bob Dylan" with the opening line of "Oh, hear this Robert Zimmerman" (Dylan's real name)

[coupwotcoup]

a ha...That is the one.

Marillion's Gazpacho had a recording of John Lennon in the intro and Steve Hogarth's Dinosaur Thing was a pop at the Galagher brothers

 

So who was Three Minute Boy a pop at?

[Mr Happy]

I'm not 100% sure. Badger may well know. I'll check in the biography, 'Seperated Out'. That will have the info.

[Badger]

Glen Medeiros. Or someone else entirely.

 

And it also mentions Elvis and The Beatles.
