Songs About Fucking- GO ALL THE WAY

The Raspberries great 1972 hit (#5 on the Billboard Hot 100) was banned by the BBC due to it's sexually implicit lyrics. Awesome chunky chords and an almost chorus like intro by Eric Carman on the vox. As fantastic as the song is, (I almost) prefer the 2009 Matthew Sweet/Susanna Hoffs duet, in which Hoff's singing makes the song oh so hotter.




I never knew, never knew how complete love could be
Till she kissed me and said

“Baby, please, go all the way
It feels so right being with you, here, tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold ‘me close don’t ever let me go “

I couldn’t say what I wanted to say
Till she whispered “I love you so, please, go all the way”
It feels so right being with you, here, tonight
Please go all the way
Just hold me close
Don’t ever let me go

Before her love I was cruel and mean
I had a hole in the place where my heart should have been
But now I’ve changed and it feels so strange
I come alive when she does all those things to me
And she says, “Come on, come on, come on
I need you, I love you, I need you”

“Baby, please, go all the way
It feels so right being with you, here, tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold ‘me close don’t ever let me go “

And for one desperate moment...

Well she was an American girl

Raised on promises

She couldn't help thinkin'

That there was a little more to life somewhere else

After all it was a great big world

With lots of places to run to

And if she had to die tryin'

She had one little promise she was gonna keep

Oh yeah, all right

Take it easy, baby

Make it last all night

She was an American girl

Well it was kinda cold that night

She stood alone on her balcony

Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by

Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach

And for one desperate moment

There he crept back in her memory

God it's so painful when something that's so close

Is still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, all right

Take it easy, baby

Make it last all night

She was an American girl

Power Pop!

Well, I'm back after a few days in Chicago on business. Lack of sleep due to long hours and a mild case of food poisoning have left it's mark.

But the heck with that!

For a special New Year's gift, I have compiled:

Bleedin Out's Power Pop record!

Yeah, they're mostly pretty obvious tunes, but hopefully they'll be somethin' on it that you don't have in digital format yet.

The ground rules were simple. One song per band and it hadda be a song that you can put on endless repeat... sorta like back in the day when you dropped 45's onto yer rekkid player. And it's a lucky 13 songs.

Hope you enjoy em! They're in one easy to download package.

The songs:

1. The Records - Starry Eyes
2. The Only Ones - Another Girl, Another Planet
3. Superdrag - Sucked Out
4. The Rubinoos - I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend
5. Redd Kross - Lady In The Front Row
6. The Raspberries - Go All The Way
7. Ramones - Sheena Is A Punk Rocker
8. The Plimsouls - A Million Miles Away
