Where is the heart of rock and roll

Heart are from Seattle iirc.

The only ones I remember from the song are "...in Cleveland/Detroit!" and I'm not giving it to Cleveland.

Anyone else used to think he was singing "the oboe may be barely breathing"?

heard about houston? heard about detroit? heard about pittsburgh, pa?

Can’t answer, I’m hard of rock n roll

'the old boy may be there to beat them'

Clearly we need to poll these misheard lyrics next.

DIP DIP DIP DIP

Anywhere there's music. Real loud music.

What a horrible song. Throw that shit away bro

It's "the oboe may be bad at breathing."

This was a swipe at Andy MacKay, who had talked shit about Huey Lewis in the press.

cleveland is going to walk away with this, and then somebody will yell at cleveland and tell cleveland they saw what it did and to put it back

Hey Cleveland , skin it back

Tulsa

cleveland

The heart of rock n roll is in mucus

You're welcome.

It's not Cleveland, it's Oklahoma City.

Yup. It's right there on the sign and everything: https://goo.gl/maps/aKeAXum69JfKQ4XA7

philadelphia, D.C., chicago, detroit, austin, houston, dallas, san francisco, los angeles, seattle, portland, vancouver, new york city, kansas city, oklahoma city, cincinnati, jackson mississippi

Wherever Mizutani Takashi abides in shades.

in reflection i think the better poll might have been where it's not (seattle)

Weren't there versions of this record sent to radio DJs that had the city names re-recorded specifically for various different markets (ie. Toronto, Miami, Milwaukee, etc.) or did I make that up?

Wasn't that We Built This City?

"We Built This City" had a version with the San Francisco DJ doing a little patter and one without.

I don't know about any songs where local cities were included.

I saw HL&TN live during this tour, and I do have to say that he added LITTLE ROCK! to the line-up. As a matter of fact, the song basically ended with him repeating LITTLE ROCK! LITTLE ROCK! over and over again while the crowd screamed.

does anyone know what word is supposed to follow "it really kicks them in the..." ??? never could figure that one out

xp one of the weirdest lineups I've ever seen, btw:

May 15, 1984
Barton Coliseum, Little Rock, AR - May 15, 1984

Huey Lewis and the News
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Mr. Mister

I'm sure the SRV fans thoroughly bullied the others

I don't know about any songs where local cities were included.

quintessential example of this has gotta be "High School USA" by Tommy Facenda, where he recorded a few dozen different versions for different cities, namechecking all the high schools in that area

i think it's New York since where else can you do a half a million things all at 2:45

Anywhere there’s drum fills, real live drum fills

eh that's not that weird 70s had so many bizarre bills

or the Byrds/Mahavishnu Orchestra/Blue Oyster Cult tour

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

St. Louis definitely had a version that said "SAINT LOUIS! Champaign, Illinois!"

Different radio stations also had specific edits of "Rock Me Amadeus." During the chronology bit they'd say like, "1986, Q107 is the first to play... Rock me Amadeus!"

It was, in some respects, a simpler time, with simpler pleasures.

My favorite (somewhat bootlegged) version of this.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
