Changes, Turn and Face the Strange

So as you all know, David Bowie died yesterday.

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!

I know, it is heartbreaking.

Such an amazing artist. Such great music! I loved him. All of his fantastic songs and lyrics will live on.

Good-bye you amazing man. Good-bye. Life without you will be strange.

Rock You Like a Hurricane

Just kidding!

I love Rock You Like a Hurricane by The Scorpions. It always reminds me of my friend Amelia because it used to be her ringtone for a really long time.

Rock You Like a Hurricane has been a huge hit through the years; number 25 in the USA Billboard Hot 100, number 31 on VH1’s 40 Greatest Metal Songs, VH1’s 18th greatest hard rock songs of all time, and the the number 4 best riff of the 80’s. It’s an awesome song that bridges the gap between rock and metal.

Don’t worry Spock, I feel the same way.

Love it so much! I mean just the opening chords and lyrics, and I’m pumped and ready to get going with this song.

It’s early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The b**** is hungry
She needs to tell
So give her inches
And feed her well
More days to come
New places to go
I’ve got to leave
It’s time for a show

Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud
Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He’s licking his lips
He’s ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting

Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

Plus let’s not forget the awesome cover by Rock of Ages. Every time I see Tom Cruise on that pole I am amazed how he was able to climb it in those boots. (*Note*: this wasn’t in the actual film, it was cut out for the final version.)

Highway Star

This is how I feel about Highway Star by Deep Purple.

My love for this song came around when Rock Band came out and it was all my friends were playing. When I saw Highway Star that was it, that was the only song I wanted to play/sing.

I just love this song for three main reasons:

1. The Lyrics are super easy to remember
2. You don’t have to sing it well, in fact it sounds better when sung badly
3. It has amazing guitar! This song is just so awesome, words cannot describe how I feel about the guitar solo.

 

Not to mention the epic organ!

Just make sure your musical genius doesn’t lead you to becoming a stalker or murderer

I mean to be honest this is me throughout the whole song.

This is my cruisin’ song. When I was practicing for my driver’s test (which I passed) I would sing this all the time.

The song was actually created on accident during a tour in 1971. A reporter interviewing the group asked how they wrote songs and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore grabbed his guitar and began playing a “G” riff over and over, while the vocalist Ian Gillan just made things up. The song was later retooled and performed that night. Deep Purple is so awesome.

So here are the lyrics, make sure when you listen you crank it up ands let it rip!

Nobody gonna take my car
I’m gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It’s gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it’s a killing machine
It’s got everything
Like a driving power big fat tires
and everything

I love it and I need it
I bleed it yeah it’s a wild hurricane
Alright hold tight
I’m a highway star

Nobody gonna take my girl
I’m gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on every bend
Oooh she’s a killing machine
She’s got everything
Like a moving mouth body control
and everything

I love her I need her
I seed her
Yeah She turns me on
Alright hold on tight
I’m a highway star

Nobody gonna take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head
Now that I’m on the road again
Oooh I’m in heaven again I’ve got everything
Like a moving ground an open road
and everything

I love it and I need it
I seed it
Eight cylinders all mine
Alright hold on tight
I’m a highway star

Nobody gonna take my car
I’m gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It’s gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it’s a killing machine
It’s got everything
Like a driving power big
fat tyres and everything

I love it and I need it
I bleed it
Yeah it’s a wild hurricane
Alright hold on tight
I’m a highway star
I’m a highway star
I’m a highway star

I really wish they would put this song in Supernatural. I mean can’t you just see Dean singing it as he is in total love with his car? Right? Wouldn’t that be just perfect?
