Why does this song make me think of this other (way different) song?

1. I dunno....

[CreekDog]

2. sometimes music types find similarities

:rofl:

3. It's that syncopated rhythm guitar

Not quite the same on each song, but close enough that your brain started doing a little shuffle dance in your skull.

4. thanks

:pals:

5. Well, it was just a theory.

I'm no music therapist or anything, but I make the same weird connections sometimes.

If it works for you, then cool.

:hi:

6. I got it, I think

Both lyrics not only begin w/ "I got to/two" but they scan the nearly same rhythmically in terms of phrasing throughout:

I got two hands (pause) on the sun shine

I got to run (pause) to keep from hiding


In the same melodic mode, some similarities in melody. Cool connection, CD.

7. Well now we are getting somewhere! Thank you.

That makes perfect sense.

It was one of those songs where I would hear it (in this case it's that Esurance commercial) and in my mind, the other song, "Midnight Rider" would play. The cognitive dissonance led me to ask.

This happens once in a while. I might have to post another example. :hi:

8. Willie Nelson? WILLIE NELSON?????

You are just BEGGING to be put on my DTM list, aren't you.

What kind of Jersey boy ARE you, anyway????? :rofl:

:*

[CreekDog]

9. Jersey Boy? Where???

I was born here:


Oh, I spent a lot of time out there :rofl:

Now I did look for the Allman Brothers version but there was no studio cut on Youtube.

Besides, Willie Nelson rocks! :spank: Much better than Rush :evilgrin:

[BeachBaby]

10. Willie Nelson "rocks"?

Babe.

You need a hug. :hug:

Oh - and before I forget - RUSH ROCKS. Deal. :P

[CreekDog]

11. Watch the tram car please

and don't disrespect Willie. :thumbsdown: :rofl:

[BeachBaby]

12. Hey - that's Wildwood!

I want summer to come back - yesterday.

And don't you forget - you owe me a ride.

Or I owe you a ride.

Something like that.

:rofl:

[CreekDog]

13. I might be out there next summer

and may try to collect on that ride.

i have a relative in Town Bank and all the other relatives from Philadelphia go down there on weekends or longer. after many visits to Philadelphia and NJ during the winter, i decided my next visit will be during the summer! :think:
