I’m Hungry…
I am hungry, actually, which got me thinking about this old song by Paul Revere & the Raiders. The lead singer was actually Mark Lindsay, who I think live in Portland, OR now; at least he hosts a weekly radio show from there. While normally you think of more pop-ish stuff when you think of Paul Revere & the Raiders, Hungry is a pretty edgy song. While I was never a huge PR fan, I do really like Hungry:
Get a load of those costumes and tricky dance moves. I’d like to see Korn or Tool do that; they just don’t do rock & roll like this anymore. Okay, now I have to go find something to eat. I can almost taste it …
NOTE: As the original video I had posted here was apparently pulled for “terms of use violations” I have replaced it with this boring version. Oh well, you can hear the song, anyway.
I chuckled out loud when they started bringing in the muppets. Yep, I always liked this song, too.
I liked listening to them a lot more than watching them. I’m not sure but I believe Mark Lindsay was originally from the Salem area.
Almost forgot, best song, “Cherokee Nation”.
“Cherokee Nation?” I almost spammed that comment… I took that song (it’s actually “Indian Reservation”) as a sign that the Raiders should have retired…
Actually, they had. Lindsay recorded the song as a solo, but released it under the name “The Raiders.”
It’s amazing what you can learn on wikipedia…
I guess I associate it with a really vivid period of time in my life …. summer, friends, probably a crush ……….what? where was I ? Yeah the time was somewhat special.
Hey, they removed your Raiders video.
Thanks… as you can see, I’ve replaced it. It’s not nearly as fun.
