Music


I blame my Dad for my taste in music. Meatloaf, Deep Purple, The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Jethro Tull. Occasionally, I throw a bit of Britney into the mix to convince myself I am a twenty-something girl, not Jeremy Clarkson in drag.


Whilst listening to Bat out of Hell, on the 6.30pm to York last Friday, I found myself wondered whether sales of Harleys went up when that album was released. It certainly must have pushed brand awareness into the stratosphere.


Maybe Google has the answer...

Dad's have a lot to be blamed for when it comes to Music.

My father's responsible for my Paul Simon/Beatles/Cream/Van Morrison love.

How could I forget to mention Simon and Garfunkel and Van Morrison?! Your post also reminded me of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young! I'm very glad I am not the only one to have been indoctrinated by Dad-rock...

Funny, I don't remember the bike, just "Paradise by the dashboard light"

Boy:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Girl:
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed

Boy:
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been waiting so long
For you to come along and have some fun

And I gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light

You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely--

We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go allt he way
An tonight's the night...

And what about the effect on the sales of meat loaf? Or is it just brands that get affected by product placement? But, then, Meat Loaf is a brand...
