That is a " kick ass" song man !

That should be on the radio !

Each time I listen to it, I want to write a new response.

It is of the highest caliber... I hope your sing that when you perform in public..... it will rock the house !!

Awesome my friend!

That was really cool. It amazes me how someone can take a song and play it so different from someone else- a completely different genre and  approach to the same lyric.
I could never play guitar as you did, so I appreciate the " metalized version" - so cool.  I agree with Graham - I hear a little Lou Reed in there - but I don't know who iggy pop is so I can't comment on that. smile   I liked the picture you put with it on soundcloud too - fits perfectly.
Thanks again my friend !
Jim

Phill or Bill

Can you please send me the lyrics.

Thanks

Jim

Great stories gentleman !  I wish I had the talent to perform.
I enjoyed your stories immensely. EAsybeat I can feel your pain.... I gave my wife 5 coupons for Christmas, each one good for " stop playing and singing for the evening!"

[Song]

{t:Once In A Lifetime Girl}

{c: Story about falling In Love with that special girl. Kind of an old time 60's rock n roll beat. The chorus changes as the relationship changes - I hope that's ok?}

[G]Once I met a [Em]girl  as[C] cute as can [D]be
[G] She’d come around [Em]just to [C] flirt with [D]me
her [G] smile , her[Em] laughter an’ those  [C]loving [D]arms
[Am]Sure was hard to [D7] resist    all  her   charms    OHHH

(Chorus)

[C] she’d come around  ,  that  girl of my dreams
[G] batting her eyes , as she walked  by me
she’d [C] flash her smile  with  lips divine
I just [Am]couldn’t  wait  till [D7]  they’d   meet mine

[G]So we got to[Em]gether and we [C]started to[D] date
[G]I knew right a[Em]way it was[C] more than [D]fate
[G]She’s the only [Em} one I [C]thought   a[D]bout, I’d
[Am] fallen in   love and there [D7] was no doubt       OHHH

(Chorus)

[C] here she comes   now ,  the  girl of my dreams
[G]  batting her eyes , an’ smiling at me
[C] here she comes  now  with her lips divine
her [Am]kiss is  like  heaven [D7] every  time 

[G]Now we’re to[Em]gether   every[C] single[D] day
[G]She’s all my [Em] hopes in [C]every [D] way
[G] love  the way she [Em] makes my [C]achin’ heart [D]smile
[Am]Everything  she   does makes my [D7]life worthwhile
OOOHH

(Chorus)

[C] there she is   now ,   girl of my dreams
still  [G]batting her eyes , smiling at me
[C] there she is now  with those  lips divine
I’ll be [Am]  loving her for the [D7]rest of  my life

[G] she can make me[Em] smile for no [C]reason at[D] all ,  And
[G] she picks me [Em] up if I [C]happen to [D]  fall
[G]She’s every [Em] thing I [C] need in  in this [D]world
[Am] I love my once in a [D7] lifetime girl
Ohhh

(Chorus)

[C]Here she is now,  still holding my hand
[G]Here she is now , loving this  man
[C]Here she is now with those lips divine
[Am]I’m  so happy that[D7]she’s mine all mine

[G] she can make me[Em] smile for no [C]reason at[D] all
And[G] she picks me [Em] up if I [C]happen to [D]  fall
[G]She’s every [Em] thing I [C] need in  in this   [D]world
[Am] I love my once in a [D7] lifetime [G]girl
[Am] I love my once in a [D7] lifetime [G]girl
l
[Am] I love my once in a [D7] lifetime [G]girl

Slow.... it’s [Am] why  I love my[C] once in a [D7] lifetime [G] girl
(Fade)

Slow.... it’s [Am] why  I love my[C] once in a [D7] lifetime [G[ girl

Yep he was only 29   had 35 singles mostly hits

His down fall - alcohol and prescription drugs - pretty much the same nemesis of many stars today !

Died of a heart attack - exasperated by the pills and booze - such a shame, such a waste of a talented life
I do like his songs though - he was very creative.

Good one Bill !
Reminds me a bit of a mix between the Central Scrutinizer from Joe's Garage and the I, Robot movie.
Still giggling about the " OH, God! " part.  very clever of you!!
Great to have you back man  !! Glad Dondra is getting healthier and  back to being herself.
Lastly, thanks for all your kind words of encouragement.

Jim

Phenomenal playing.
I cannot fathom how many hours of practice that was required for that performance..
I don’t even know how he remembers all of the movements and notes, never mind the flawless execution
I sure wish I could make my 12er sound like that!

Thanks for the magnificent beginning to flying fingers, it was awesome!

Here is my version of this song.

I'm not a singer and barely a player - but I like the story.  Hope you like it.

Holy crap BGD

They are just excellent !

Guitar is incredible, but rest of players are not far behind. It is a fantastic melding of musical talent and performing.  The ability to inject just the perfect amount of each instrument, with precise fusion, and  at exactly the right moment is superlative! The voice of the singer reminds me of Bonnie Raitt.

Thanks for sharing this --- I REALLY  enjoyed this !  They have a bunch of other great songs as well.

Great job BGD - looking forward to your next find ! smile

I think Freddy Mercury and Frank Zappa were way a head of their time - incredible ingenuity and not afraid to be different.
