O/T Need help finding a title of song (old timers will know)

[Damo1977]

There was a popular song back in the 60's or 70's about nuclear war where mutants would walk the earth etc, for the life of me I cant remember the title or most of the lyrics. ****e I havn't heard it in that long, but I remember loving it. Hope someone can help, and no I definetlely know it ain't Bob Dylan.

"Do ya think I'm sexy" by Rod Stewart ? :hmm:

[Onkel Neal]

"Everyone Was Kung Fu Fighting"?

[Iceman]

War Pigs?...Something from Deep Purple....or Jimmy Hendrix...or Beatles...Yellow Submarine....those ole blue meanies?

[Kiwi Zero Six]

"Tie me kangaroo down, sport"

Or perhaps "Waltzing Matilda"?

[Kapitan]

wow you guys are old :o

[Damo1977]

I think it had "the end of the world as we know it" but not the same exact lyrics as REM and later, if you get what I mean. man it ****es me. You love a song than forget about it than you want to here it again.

ANd Kapitan I am only 28 but love me 'Golden Oldies', they had more taste, class and meaning than most of the ****e we get now days


It was 60's 70's era that I am sure of

[Lucky Starr]

Servus Damo,


maybe the song is "In the year 2525" from Zager&Evans.


Greetings from Austria to Australia.

Edit:

Some lyrics from the song:

In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes.
You won't find a thing to chew.
Nobody's gonna look at you.


In the year 5555
Your arms hanging limp at your sides.
Your legs got nothing to do.
Some machine doing that for you.


In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife.
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too.
From the bull**** of a long glass tube. Whoa-oh

[The Avon Lady]

wow you guys are old :o
And nobody even mentioned "Eve Of Destruction" yet! :D

But no aliens there.

[gdogghenrikson]

War Pigs?...Something from Deep Purple....or Jimmy Hendrix...or Beatles...Yellow Submarine....those ole blue meanies?

'Mutually Assured Destruction' (MAD) by Ian Gillan or 'After The Holocaust' by Nuclear Assault?

[Damo1977]

the problem is so many artists change the beat to the original song and the rythym...........will I ever find this needle in a haystick.............I use to listen to the radio waiting for 'Burning Bridges' (some of you will know this song lol) so it was in the same era. This is anothe clue..lol.

Same here! I am 17 and only really listen to 60's-70's and maybe some 80's. Big Doors fan. Hate whats out there these days.

I have a friend that seems to be able to track down any song by only a few lyrics. He found a song for my dad the other day and we were amazed based on the limited amount of info we gave. Since no one else has got it right yet, I will run it by my buddy next time I see him.

Hey, I just had a thought, "hard rains a gonna fall' was sung by many peoples not just Bob Dylan, AM I right? Maybe that where I am getting confused. It was just a bit more lively than how Mr Bob Dlan sang it.

[Camaero]

All my friend could come up with was "Yeah, heard it before but can't think who did it or what it's called. I think it was by the guy that did "hey babe take a walk on the wilde side."

I also heard a version of a hard rains gonna fall i think by leon russell... if those lyrics sound right maybe thats it? It was certainly more lively.

Sorry I couldnt be of more help!

[Pioneer]

Bryan Ferry sung a version of Hard Rains a Gonna Fall, not sure if he did it with his band Roxy Music or not though.
