Thanks a lot for the top 25 downloaded songs list, it is way different than what I thought it was going to be. Once again thank you for your hard work and awesome releases.

I’m guessing Brown eyed Girl for #3

 

IMO, frigginelvis got it…it’s got to be Jack and Diane…Song was originally written about an interracial couple, but Mellencamp was forced to change the lyrics to him being a football star, instead of an African American.

I think K-Mac is correct that it’s Brown Eyed Girl. This is from the wiki page…

 

“Originally titled “Brown-Skinned Girl”, Morrison changed it to “Brown Eyed Girl” when he recorded it. Morrison remarked on the original title: “That was just a mistake. It was a kind of Jamaican song. Calypso. It just slipped my mind. I changed the title.”[11] “After we’d recorded it, I looked at the tape box and didn’t even notice that I’d changed the title. I looked at the box where I’d lain it down with my guitar and it said ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ on the tape box. It’s just one of those things that happen.”[12] It has also been stated that the song was about an inter-racial relationship and Morrison changed the title to “make it more palatable to radio stations.”

[WolfgangJT]

Problem with that is it states quite clearly he wrote it as Brown Eyed Girl, but accidentally changed the title…not the lyrics. Hint talks about it changing lyrically, so title change alone (which is all that wiki page states) isn’t changing it lyrically….sounds like it was put on the tape box as Brown Eyed Girl (which would also mean lyrically, was recorded as that) but then titled different by accident..i.e. no lyrical changes. So if that is the case that it is that song, the hint is off by that page’s account at least. Otherwise, it’s more likely Jack and Diane, which had a true lyric change from being African American to being a football star, not a title change….interracial couple also being it’s original main theme. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />

Song facts about Jack & Diane

http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=3829

 

“Jack and Diane were a mixed-race couple in the first version of this song, inspired by the blended couples Mellencamp saw during his live performances. He took the race part out of it and made Jack a football star after an executive from his record company heard what he was working on asked him to do so in an effort to make the song more relatable and therefore boost its hit potential. With race removed from the equation, a broader swath of Mellencamp’s audience identified with the song, especially in the Midwest. He says that lots of folks have told him that the characters are just like them”

Hey there Rockers,

Happy Saturday, Rockers. We have a big day for you today, an amazing instrumental thrash metal pack and some of the biggest male rock stars ever. All of the male rock artists have no actual RB songs. Springsteen and John Mellencamp had GH songs that were ported over to RB. At any rate, there is not near enough of these guys… so, Sygenysis and I decided to bring you some of them. We hope you dig these. This week has big hits, huge artists and super hard, yet awesome thrash songs. Big fun in groups and some really challenging stuff, this week we tried to hit all those bases. Damn, I sure prattle on… enough talk, on with the rockin’!

*At the time of recording American Fool, he went by John Cougar, But GH used John Mellencamp and this is from the same album. So I had to use Mellencamp for sorting purposes.

This was a great week for great answers and discussion in the hints for this thread. Thank you guys for making this fun! Thank you to everyone who has participated in these hints. This is so much fun when people start thinking and talking music.

I just want to say thank you to all who have played along.

If you have never heard Scuzz before, he is a comedy country artist. This song is funny, catchy, has awesome slide guitar solos and references the excesses of Charlie Sheen. Please give it a shot, I’m sure some of you will dig it.

Here is link to Youtube vid, check it out. Funny shit!

 

 

Thank you to everyone that comes to visit our thread. We do this out of love for the game and its players.

[samjjones]

Awesome week. Great job.

 

Would love to see more Springsteen, Mellencamp, and solo Frey (The Heat Is On!) down the line. Springsteen and Mellencamp in particular have super deep catalogues.

In the original vision these were all part of packs. In attempt to make sure there is weekly variety they got split up. If you want more from these three artists and we get a good response on these ones, there may be more for all three. Thank you all for the kindness. Like I said we do this for the love of the game and its players.

 

You all rock
