Ok..so the two songs I said were Drove all and Working for the Man...

I am digging through mom's old Orbison records and tracking down lyrics because some folks thought if they saw they lyrics they might be able to guess which one it is...since the guys would tell us WHICH one I got right...so...I went and played both songs...and well...hmm...Drove all Night sounded familiar...

check this out

And then go back and check out Mal's kyte...where it says Drive Drums (duh, how did I not catch this)...and there is quite a bit in common....hmmmm....

Lyrics for Drove All Night

I had to escape , the city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you

I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead
Uh-huh, yeah

Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night

What in this world keeps us from falling apart?
No matter where I go
I hear the beating of our one heart
I think about you when the night is cold and dark
Uh-huh, yeah

No one can move me the way that you do
Nothing erases this feeling between me and you
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?

I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night

Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Is that all right?
I drove all night

Sounds pretty close...

Think Coyle can do a better cover than Celine Dion?

:lmao:

Holy crap, that was Roy Orbison? I would've bet money it was Cyndi Lauper. (She's written some great songs, so I would've figured that was one of her originals.) Haha, shows how much I know...

I totally love this song and so i am really hoping that this is the winner!!

I think Your Vegas could do things with this track that will make it sensational .... I can actually hear coyle's vocals on this track ...

Fingers toes and everything else crossed for this ....

:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Good job Jackie, you're a genius! I think you're right! I agree with Sam, I can totally see them doing this one, it has YV written all over it! Not that they wouldn't do a smashing job with the other song, but this just looks like it makes perfect sense, just fits their sound. Even the lyrics look like something Coyle would write. If it is this, I can't wait to hear the YV version, it's going to be freaking stellar! Now if we could just figure out which Bruce tune.

:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Have to say I've never been much of a Bruce fan myself, though I appreciate his music a little more now than than I used to. I remember hearing Dancing in the Dark and Born in the USA so many times, I couldn't stand it, and this was when I was all into my British bands of the 80's phase (what phase? it's a lifestyle), so Bruce wasn't really my thing. LOL And it's probably blasphemy as a Jersey Girl to say all that, it's like the law to worship the Boss in Jersey; I am clearly in violation! :giggle: I'm not that familiar with the whole BS catalog, so I don't know what era they'd pick from, his 70's, 80's, or 90's to now stuff, or one of his slow or rock songs. I did tweet them for a cover of Jersey Girl, but that's purely out of self interest hee hee! They said no one got it right, my guess was Born to Run, so that's out. Brilliant Disguise? My Hometown? Sam, I'll have to look him up too and see what seems "YV".

Ohhhhh yeahhhhhhh, baby!

I love it!

Have to admit, the only song I am familiar with by Orbison is "Pretty Woman" and I guessed it 'cause I could so TOTALLY see/hear Heats on the keys on that song :wub: .

I know this song, too. Forgot Orbison did the original 'cause they hammered the hell outta Celine's version here in Dallas a few years back :nah: .

I can totally picture how Your Vegas would put their groove into it and make it BRILLIANT!

Very, very nice lyrics :pimp: !

I do really like this song... a lot! I'd love to hear YV do it. And many of us have driven all night to get to YV shows!
