Lyrics: [Talking] Ha ha ha, I don't believe it Da, da, ah, ah don't touch it Hey, Ray, hey, Sugar, tell them who we are... Well, we're big rock singers We got golden fingers And we're loved everywhere we go...(That sounds like us) We sing about beauty and we sing about truth At ten thousand dollars a show...(Right) We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills But the thrill we've never known Is the thrill that'll getcha when you get your picture On the cover of the Rollin' Stone (Rollin' Stone...) Wanna see my picture on the cover (Stone...) Wanna buy five copies for my mother...(Yes) (Stone...) Wanna see my smilin' face On the cover of the Rollin' Stone...(That's a very very good idea) I got a freaky ole lady name a Cocaine Katy Who embroiders on my jeans I got my poor ole grey haired daddy Drivin' my limousine Now it's all designed to blow our minds But our minds won't really be blown Like the blow that'll gitcha when you get your picture On the cover of the Rollin' Stone (Rollin' Stone...) Wanna see our pictures on the cover (Stone...) Wanna buy five copies for our mothers...(Yeah) (Stone...) Wanna see my smilin face On the cover of the Rollin' Stone [Talking] Hey, I know how Rock and roll... [Instrumental] Ah, that's beautiful We got a lot of little teenage blue eyed groupies Who do anything we say We got a genu-wine Indian Guru Who's teaching us a better way We got all the friends that money can buy So we never have to be alone And we keep gettin' richer but we can't get our picture On the cover of the Rollin' Stone (Rollin' Stone...) Wanna see my picture on the cover (Stone...) Wanna buy five copies for my mother...(Wa wa) (Stone...) Wanna see my smilin' face On the cover of the Rollin' Stone On the cover of the Rollin'... (Stone...) Wanna see my picture on the cover [Talking] I don't know why we ain't on the cover, baby... (Stone...) Wanna buy five copies for my mother [Talking] We're beautiful subjects... (Stone...) Wanna see my smilin' face [Talking] I ain't kiddin', we would make a beautiful cover... On the cover of the Rollin' Stone... [Talking] Fresh shot, right up front, man... I can see it now, we'll be up in the front... Smilin', man... Ahh, beautiful...

That glorious period in the 70s when country and rock overlapped. So many excellent groups, including this one.

@Charlesb88

2 жыл бұрын

Technically, country and rock have overlapped to some degree going back to the mid 50’s starting with rockabilly music, followed by early beginnings of country-rock in the mid to late 60s which reached it’s peak in the 70s. So while country-rock was most popular in the 1970’s it origins go back to the 50s. Country-rock continued to some degree in the 80s and 90s but on a smaller scale. With the collapse of mainstream rock music’s popularity as a whole starting in the 2000’s and 2010’s, country-rock has largely disappeared, at least on the charts, though some modern country artists have included country-rock songs on their albums and concert set lists like Chris Stapleton and Sturgill Simpson.

@@chrisperrien7055 I don't see the issue. Today, the big thing is for a band/singer to write their own music or to at least collaborate. But for decades before, there were a ton of people who were songwriters, but not performers themselves. They would write songs either for a label who would give it to one of their talents to do or they would write stuff for a specific band/singer. Even bands/singers who did write their own stuff would also have songs from songwriters. In this case, Shel Silverstein (yes THAT Shel Silverstein) wrote most of the songs for this band. Including this song.
