Happy 81st Birthday to Brother Bob
Born this day 1945 in Deetroit MI

A gypsy wind is blowin' warm tonight
The sky is starlit and the time is right
And still you're tellin' me you have to go
Before you leave, there's something you should know
Yeah, something you should know, babe

I am somewhat embarrassed to say it took me about 3 days to figure this out.
While it straight up sounds like Harley, which I duly noted on the other thread,
It is actually more bad song lyrics.......

I been through the desert on horse with no name

Our garage band covered the Kingsmen's 'Louie Louie' hundreds of times. The only words I knew was Louie and yeah.

“Louie Louie” began life as a 1955 Richard Berry song, an imitation Jamaican sea shanty set to a rock ‘n’ roll beat. The mushmouthed sound of The Kingsmen’s cover version came about largely by accident. As the New York Times reported after the death of frontman Jack Ely in 2015:

Jack Ely would later insist that as a 19-year-old singing “Louie Louie” in one take in a Portland, Ore., studio in 1963, he had followed the original lyrics faithfully. But, he admitted, the braces on his teeth had just been tightened, and he was howling to be heard over the band, with his head tilted awkwardly at a 45-degree angle at a single microphone dangling from the ceiling to simulate a live concert.

That’s right: the song that helped birth a thousand slurred rock vocals was partly the result of a teenager’s braces.

That didn’t stop the conservative America of the early 1960s from freaking out–and suspecting much more sinister intentions
