Earworm question: "somethin somethin Blackwater (maybe "old man water"?)

[dolo amber]

blah blah funky dixieland...mama take me by the hand...blah blah dance with yer daddy all night long..."

This was on the radio where I am today a while ago, now it's stuck in my head, and I can't even illegally download it and purge it from my system because I have no clue who/what it is. :cry:

It sounds like it's probably some kind of 70s country-fried hippie kinda band or something, if that helps...:shrug:

Thanks! :hi:

Black Water
~Doobie Brothers

Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin'
That paddle wheel thumpin'
Black water keeps rollin' on past just the same
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries
'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

Well, if it rains, I don't care
Don't make no difference to me
Just take that street car thats goin' up town
Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
And dance a honky tonk
And I'll be buyin' ev'rybody drinks all 'roun'

Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries
'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
By the hand, take me by the hand pretty mama
Come and dance with your daddy all night long
I want to honky tonk, honky tonk, honky tonk
With you all night long

17. I find it really depressing that I knew that song right off the bat

I wish my brain was filled with useful things. Instead, it's filled with song names and lyrics.

18. You too?

We should start a support group or a 12-step program for people who are entirely too obsessed with musical trivia.

reprehensor calls me "The Cray" (like the supercomputer). My mind is kind of like a giant Roll-o-dex I can just flip through. I've only lost at Trvial Pursuit once in my entire life. And that was a fluke.

Pretty mama gonna take me by the hand

4. "Blackwater" by the Doobie Brothers.

Purge it now before the fever becomes an infection!

(Sidebar: the best bad ep of a TV show ever was when the DB's played a concert at the school on "What's Happening.")

My sister had the 45 when it was brand new, in 1974. :-) I was but a sprout.

Never a Doobies fan though.
