Foo - Maggie I think I got something to say to you.

What comes to mind when you hear this song? Can you hear it in your head? Discuss.
Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I fell I'm being used

Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone

You stole my heart and that's what really hurts
The morning sun when it's in your eyes really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax

Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone

You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a helping hand
[- From :http://www.elyrics.net/read/r/rod-stewart-lyrics/maggie-may-lyrics.html -]
But you turned into a lover and mother
What a lover, you wore me out, all you did was wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the head

Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
'Cause you didn't want to be alone

You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collected my books and go on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living at playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helping hand

Oh Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
You made a first class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be

You stole my heart but I love you anyway
I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home, one of these day

Yes, you bastard...I now have that song in my head. I hope you get VD that burns burns burns.

Bastard. :D

I think of two things:

1.) Maggie is Rod Stewart's "Mrs. Robinson", turned him out....

2.) My mother (a Mario Lanza fan, I kid you not), said she liked this song when I was playing it one day; I bought her a copy of it (the old vinyl 45's remember those?). Twenty years later, she denied ever saying she liked it.

Not bad for a cougar?

I hear that song and I hear the rest of the album. After that, I smell the bourbon and hear the sloppy performances. As somebody in the music biz, many musicians are keen on the idea of tweaking their disc to the nth degree to get it EXACTLY perfect. This album was my talking point illustrating that you don't really need to get it perfect to make it sound great.

+5 though I can't say the rest for the album. I've probably never heard another song on that album.

I hear the drum hits at the beginning of the song, right before the first line.

In 2003, the album was ranked number 172 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Mandolin Wind? (with the credit of the mandolin player listed as "the mandolin player" because they were too drunk to remember!)
Every Picture Tells a Story?
I'm Losing you?

Pick it up, it's a great album.

It also reminds me of Rod Stewart, which in turn reminds me of this:

What comes to mind is someone needs to turn the classic rock station off.

You asked.

That's my folks' music. I sought my own genres and still do.

I have my own genres too, almost all of them having nothing to do with music from that era. But I still like that song a lot.

Thanks to Mike Myers, all I can think of when I hear a Scottish accent is Fat Bastard. :crash::lol:

I was 2 when that song came out...A good song is timeless. After you get finished trying to rebel against your mommy and daddy, you'll find there's a lot of "old" music that is simply amazing.

Well I'll be dipped...it's (http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/rockstar.asp) not true! :lol:

I liked the version that Paulsang on American Idol on Tuesday.

The advice I gave my son came from Every Picture Tells a Story "Son don't lose your head, to a woman that'll spend your bread."

I have plans for a 16' sail/row boat that I will start building this coming fall, I have already named it Maggie. I know it is going to be a time/money killer, and I fell in love with the lines of that boat the first time I saw it.

links please? I loves me some hand built boats. When the wife and I had our Cal 20 out at the marina, there was a guy in a slip next to us that made a sail canoe that was unreal. He made everything, including wooden bits like blocks for the rigging and hand braided lines, hand sewn sails. It was a thing of beauty to see it sail.

The Goat Island Skiff. I have had the plans for two years but built a very similar 12' summer breeze and some single sheet skiffs as practice boats first.

I prefer the slightly sloppy sound...it lets me know real instruments are being played by real people. If its too tight, its probably not real people playing it.

After reading this thread I went on iTunes and bought the song. It was on sale for 69 cents.

I remember the concert in Mobile, Alabama in 1981 with some chick I didn't even know on my shoulders...

Hehe... Didn't know her name after either...

I'm Losing You was a fantastic cover. Though I believe it was actually done prior to that as a performance with The Faces. A couple years back I was sitting around thinking of songs that would make great rock covers. The Temptations I'm Losing You came to mind as a fantastic one. Then two months later I hear the Stewart version. I was bummed out, he beat me to it.

"Shanghai Lil never used the pill"

That's what I'm talking about. Great lyric.

I like that song, the whole album has a kind of a homespun feel. It had lots of airplay in the late summer of '71 when I was 16 and taking my first long rides out of my suburb into the country, so it has a pleasant connotation with cycling for me.

Hah, man now i gotta go listen to the song again :p

JD, have not started the "Summer Breeze" yet.

Did you use the deep keel on that one?

Nice, trim looking little boat. Should be fun to build and sail. I would love to do this with my boys when they get a bit older..... Have almost all the tools needed..... Hmmmmm.

It has a lot of rocker in it so I just used the skeg the plans called for. I will splash it in about two weeks when the weather gets a bit nicer, ice is starting to leave the local lakes.

Well, I'm glad that somebody figured out what spry was talking about.

:( Wow, you're a bigger buzzkill than Buzzkillington. Thanks.

:p

Buzzkill is his middle name... mom and dad were torn between that and "Mickey" and since Buzzkill was a family name they went with that.

Thankfully, they named me Neil instead of naming me after Uncle Booger.

It's a great tune...
