Old rock song (70s) I want to identify. Can you help me?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

OK. I can understand almost nothing of the lyrics. If I did, I'd google any phrase between quotes plus "lyrics", like I did with many old songs. But here I don't have any of the lyrics -- except the fact that the chorus sounds SOMEWHAT like this:

I feel our boys will make a run on rock'n'roll
I feel our boys will make a run on rock'n'roll
I feel our boys will make a run on rock'n'roll, oh, oh

The tempo is, to the best I can evaluate, exactly half a second. 8 tempos (4 seconds) elapse between the same point in successive lines. (There's one "empty" tempo between the "roll" and the "feel" in the next line) The final "roll" and the oh's are in successive tempos. (i.e. half a second apart)

I know, this is hardly correct musician jargon, but I hope it helps. Come on, mock me. I want to know how ridiculously off the mark I was with the lyrics.

1. Hmm...I'm thinking...

not "God gave rock and roll to you"?

:shrug:

3. Wait while I google... ah, Kiss. No, the chorus sounds different.

Although it COULD be a Kiss song. Maybe.

2. I'm googling like crazy. Is it this?

4. No... likely, the word "boys" isn't there at all. I'm pretty sure about "rock'n'roll", "oh oh", and

the three-times repetition of the verse.

5. Kick for the morning crowd

[Phillycat]

6. Those lyrics can't be right

You don't even get hits when you Google PARTS of them.

8. I know they're not. It just sounds like it. I'm appealing to the auditive memory of DUers. -nt

[Pendrench]

7. Is it "Drift Away" by Dobie Gray?

"Gimme the beat boys and free my soul, I wanna get lost in your rock-n-roll and drift away?"

Just a guess...

[LeftyFingerPop]

12. Slade did it in the 70's. n/t

[MissMillie]

13. yeah, it looks like they did

I never heard of it before Quiet Riot

[Tikki]

14. Maybe? "Rock'n Roll Outlaw"....by Rose Tattoo

:shrug:

15. Need more clues.

1) Is the key minor or major? (Sad or happy?)

2) Is it from the early hippie influenced 1970s, the mid glam influenced 70s, or the late punk influenced 70s?

3) Is it an anthem, like the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again?" Is it bombastic, heavyish metal?

4) Is it British or American? Or Canadian? Or Australian? Or other?

5) Are a lot of people singing the chorus, or just one screeching lead singer?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

16. Sounds American, non-punk heavy. Think "Gonna Rock'n'Roll All night" by Kiss with a slower tempo.

Lots of people sing the chorus. One person sings the non-chorus.

If I manage to be alone in this room, I can sing it (oh my) and send it to you.

[BurtWorm]

17. Put it on YouTube!

I'll bet you'll become a star!

You know, I was thinking of Gonna Rock'N'Roll All Night. But now I'm thinking maybe it was The Green Angels singing this song:

[GCP]

18. Maybe something by Gary Glitter?
