After not hearing it or thinking about it since it was popular way, way, way back when, this one just popped up out of nowhere.  Brains are strange.  I wonder how many people forgot it immediately but remember it when they see it...                              (Taking a trip up to) Abergavenny.     By Shannon.  Thanks to YouTube for the singer's name.

I Am I Said-Neil Diamond

 

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is "lay back"
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays
I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home
But it ain't mine no more

Get Out of Denver

Bob Seger

 

If you are a Bob Seger fan and you haven't listened to Get out of Denver, well, um....GO LISTEN TO GET OUT OF DENVER!

You find it on the Live Bullet Album

 

The idea is to see if you can sing the whole song with him without stopping to catch your breath.

 

I remember it was autumn and the moon was shinin'

My '60 Cadillac was rollin' through Nebraske, whinin'

Doin' 120, Man the fields were bendin' over

Heading up for the mountains and knowin' we were traveling farther

 

All the fires were blazin' and the spinnin' wheels were turnin' turnin'

Had my girl beside and brother brother she was burnin' burnin'

 

And more like that. A true rocker.
