OK Music junkies...need help identifying two songs for me.

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

Alright, I have two songs rattling in my memory banks, but not enough clarity to locate them via any search engine.  SO - I thought I would ask some fellow music geeks and see if you all could help me.

 

FIRST:  "Stage" song

 

I will call this one the "Stage" song as it refers to a band after a concert and playing the last song after everyone has left the building and the roadies are waiting on them to finish so they can break stuff down and pack the trucks up.  It is the same era as Lynyrd Skynyrd or BTO time period and similar sound.  I cannot for the LIFE of me remember this song, but know that the "classic rock" station back in Nashville used to play it often and I loved it.

 

SECOND:  "Under Water" song

 

This one will be a bit more challenging to ID and also describe.  The same "classic rock" radio station used to play this song whenever it would rain.  The lyrics were quite funny and it had more of a speaking rhythm to the lyrics than singing.  There were a lot of play on words with re: to the characters.  The whole song is based on an underwater scene with fish, etc.  The "singer" would refer to people (tongue in cheek) as if they were fish, "crabby", etc.

 

 

Thank you all for your help and if I can answer any questions about these descriptions, please ask away!

PS: first person to ID each song for me will win that same song sent to them via an iTunes gift (if you would like it.)  My way of saying thanks for helping me NOT loose my mind!

Second: maybe Spill the Wine by Eric Burdon & War?

Sorry philatticus...not it, but I did find it:

FOUND SONG #2:

 

The title is:  "Wet Dream" and wriiten by Kip Adotta.
Here are your lyrics ...now, just if I can find a place to download this one.

It was April the 41st, being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis
My barracuda was in the shop
So I was in a rented stingray, and it was overheating

So I pulled into a Shell Station
They said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing, and leave my private life out of it, okay, pal?"

While they were doing that I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar
A real dive, but I knew the owner
He used to play for the Dolphins
I said "Hi, Gil!"
You have to yell, he's hard of herring

Gil was also down on his luck
Fact is he was barely keeping his head below water
I bellied up to the sandbar, he poured me the usual
Rusty snail, hold the grunion, shaken not stirred
With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side, heavy on the mako
I slipped him a fin, on porpoise

I was feeling good
I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids, just for the halibut

Well the place was crowded
We were packed in like sardines
They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal
What sole!

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna
"Salmon Chanted Evening"
And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers
Probably there to see the bass player

One of them was this cute little yellowtail, and she's giving me the eye
So I figured this is my chance -- You know, a piece of Pisces!?!

But she said things I just couldn't fathom
She was too deep, seemed to be under a lot of pressure
Boy, could she drink!
She drank like a.......She drank a lot
I said, "What's your sign?"
She said, "Aquarium."
I said, "Let's Get Tanked!"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Wet Dream!!!

I invited her to my place for a midnight bait
I said, "Come on baby, it'll only take a few minnows."
She threw me that same old line, "Not tonight, I gotta haddock."

And she wasn't kidding either
Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock
I'd ever seen come down the pike
He was covered with mussels

He came over to me and said,
"Listen, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here!"
What a crab! This guy was steamed!
I could see the anchor in his eyes

I turned to him, I said, "A-balone! You're just being shellfish!"
Well, I knew it was going to be trouble, and so did Gil
Because he was already on the phone to the cods

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch
I catch him with a left hook
He eels over...it was a fluke...but there he was
Flat as a mackerel...kelpless

I said, "Forget the cods Gil, this guy's gonna need a sturgeon!"

Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend
She came over to me
She said, "Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish. What's your name?"
I said, "Marlin."

I think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Wet Dream!!!

Well from then on we had a whale of a time
I took her to dinner, I took her to dance
I bought her a bouquet of flounders
I went home with her
And what did I get for my trouble?
A case of the clams!!!

I think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Wet Dream!!!

I think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Wet Dream!!!

You are the MAN!  We have a winner!  Thank you for helping me with that.  Can I buy you a song?  Would be happy to send it to you via iTunes if you PM your email address.

 

Thanks again for helping and I now feel so satisfied that I found BOTH of them.  Now, if I can just find a digital source for the Wet Dreams song.

ACTUALLY - I have now discovered that it is technically "Load Out / Stay" combo.  The part that I was remembering was "The Load Out" portion, but they are intended to go together.

 

Just wanted to clarify...
