echoes with accustic like sounds lyrics are

starts out "i heard it from a friend who, hear it from friend who"

then it skips on and says (the following are random pieces of the lyrics)

"they say you have a boyfriend................."


"putting on your bedroom eyes"
 
"Take It On The Run" - REO Speedwagon

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around
They say you got a boy friend
You're up there every weekend
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I'm telling you, babe
That I don't think it's true, babe
And even if it is, keep this in mind

You take it on the run, baby
If that's the way you want it, baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun
So you take it on the run

You're thinking up your white lies
You're putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you're coming home but you won't say when
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight, keep running
And you need never look back again

You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun
So you take it on the run...

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around

Hey, where's the love for REO?

REO, Journey, Styx, Cheap Trick - All good 80s rock bands. They each had more than 1 song that most people would recognize. Better than most bands today.

CheapTrick is fine.
Reo is fine.
But, for the love of ATOT, do you have to include Journey and Styx?
Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto ????
Wheel in the Sky ????

LOL....I like Journey also. Cheap Trick &amp; Styx are OK. But you can't forget about Foreigner!!!!! 😀
 
Wheel in the Sky ????
OK - That was actually a cool song, but Journey, taken as a whole, blew.

REO just conjures up memories of too much acid-wash and hairspray.

And acne. Lots and lots of acne.
 
I saw REO Speedwagon with Styx and Eddie Money at Verizon Wireless Music Center for free a few years back. Not a bad show - plus I won the tickets on the radio.
