Ugh, this song is in my head, and I need to know the name!!!

[Gary]

It's not the Starland Vocal Band "Afternoon Delight". but it is sort of similar. About the same time another band had something with a similar lyric That talked about Sky Rockets, and it was sung by a grizzled older man (or at least his voice was similar). Anyone have a clue what I am talking about? I am thinking something like Sky Rockets in Flight. That's at least what I wrote down while I was at work when I heard the song so it has to be similar in that way.

ugh!!!

You're not talking about Afternoon Delight sung by Will Ferrell in Anchorman are you? The line "sky rockets in flight" definitely comes from "Afternoon Delight" by SVB. Could that be it?

 

[Gary]

Nah, that's not the one. It's on our automated system playlist so next time I hear it I will write down the lyrics. I thought it might be that song at first, but then the chorus never came. The main singer sounds a bit like bob dylan as well.

Believe it or not, I can deal with Wildfire...its that stupid "Don't worry, be happy" song that will now be stuck in my head for the night.

Yes.

That song is very, very rude.

I had someone send me a dorky little e-card recently that was set to that song.

As sweet a gesture as it may have been, the song is still in my head several days later.

Well Gary if you could give a solid line of lyrics I might be able to help but the only song that comes to minds using the phrase "sky rockets in flight" is the dreaded SVB tune.

I don't know, but I do remember that that song by Elvin Bishop, I think it's called "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" or something like that was played in the movie 'Boogie Nights' the song is on my soundtrack to that movie.
