Ahh.. question.. there is a song I wanted to know the name of it.. They play it in the classic rock station here. Twice I heard last two weeks. I need the name..

Song..
1) No words at all... That is hard part. If there was words.. Google it.. but no words..
2) has a guitar riff like.. "girl with dark sunglasses" by ZZ top..
3) has a drum solo in the middle
4) has some kind of guitar effects sounds "spacy" in the middle of the with no other instruments. then goes back into the main riff again..
5) guessing it is a 70's tune.
6) Must be pretty well know to hear it twice in two weeks.

Guessing you don't know but thought I ask.. otherwise I post it in the music section. I sat in the car the other night hoping they tell me the name or the artist no luck.

First song that comes to mind is "Frankenstein" By Edgar Winter Group.
Is that it?
TR

 

[Coltrane]

Frankenstein is the first thing that came to my mind as well.

 

[Jahn]

When I get home I'm getting on iTunes and sampling that song to hear what the hubbub is about!

 

[Doc Sarvis]

It's either Frankenstein or "Hocus Pocus" by Focus, although if it was the latter you would have probably mentioned yodeling...

 

[Masonjar]

I remember falling under the spell of that song.. it's actually hard for me to imagine someone NOT knowing "Frankenstein" - and I'm not even that old (I was born in '69)..

"Hocus Pocus" by Focus was another one.. I remember just waiting and waiting to hear that on the radio. The DJ's at Ashland College loved to play that..

Frankenstein4:45The Edgar Winter GroupMullets Rock!

Just heard it on iTunes - yep, never heard it before. You hear something new everyday!

 

[Aman]

It's difficult to think that somebody on this earth HASN'T heard the tune. I'm shocked!

Yes, it is most certainly Frankenstein. The 'spacey' guitar, though, is actually performed on a keyboard.

yea that is it.. keyboard.. i wondering I couldn't listen to it at work and the forums talk about the keyboard playing.. i guess there were two good tracks off that album. Free ride..

 

[Voltron]

Nice catch Todd! I have been waiting all day to see if that was the right song.

The whole album (They only come out at night) is pretty good actually.

They Might be Giants do a bang-up cover of Frankenstein at most of their shows.

I also am having trouble finding a song without lyrics. I believe it is also a 1970's rock song. It also has a very spacey feel to it which covers a majority of the song, but intermixed is an acoustic solo that appears 2-3 times; the acoustic part sounds a lot like the acoustic part in "Life's Been Good To Me So Far" by The Eagles, but it's faster than that...

It's definitely NOT Frankenstein or Hocus Pocus as I already tried both of those...

Any ideas?

Life's Been Good first appeared on the soundtrack FM and was put on But Seriously Folks by Joe Walsh. The Eagles included it in their set but it was a Joe Walsh solo.

Thanks..I totally remembered the song, but always forget the title...
