The thing he does with his lips makes me want to gouge his eyes out.

 

[Ozimoto]

John Mellencamp (during his John Cougar days). Ain't Even Done with the Night.

 

[Bigboote]

I couldn't find any footage of John Sebastian singing this at Woodstock, so here's the (very different) studio version.

 

[Bigboote]

When Tom Waits wants to do beautiful, it's REALLY beautiful. I can't think of a more beautiful bass line, and the lyrics are so evocative.

 

[Ozimoto]

And another. This one by Bob Seger. Seems to be a common coming of age theme in these "night" songs.

What a dreamy idea.

A little New Orleans sound.

Like Dreamer's Do - The Radiators

When Tom Waits wants to do beautiful, it's REALLY beautiful. I can't think of a more beautiful bass line, and the lyrics are so evocative.

Can't agree more BB - one incredibly poignant, beautiful, song by Tom.

Ok not really about a "lion". Maybe closer to the original than most versions.

The Lion Sleeps Tonight - Ladysmith Black Mambazo/Mint Julips

 

[meyers7]

And another. This one by Bob Seger. Seems to be a common coming of age theme in these "night" songs.

Another Seger song.

Hollywood Nights
