From Tom Keifer and They performed this Song :-)
It was a TOTAL Religious Experience----I felt like I was in an Innercity Church on a Sunday Morning :-) God--SOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!! :-)
So I went looking for live performances of the Song---and came across the Joe Cocker version---PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO---

There's no reason to work for the man in this wonderful country of ours. Just met with my husbands , now my business partner to go over the details of the new company . He and my spouse ave been working on patents for sometime and he's has quite a few and other ventures and seeing how he has some free time now we decided upon our venture of passive income bringing in about 15 g a day to start. I'm gonna be busy doing the marketing portion since I have all the contacts until it gets going and off the ground and then well, fishing, writing a few songs.
My name is Amy and on May 19, 2013 my grandson died.
He was sleeping and vomited and choked.
I want you to know that at 3 months old he loves your music!
When he got fussy all I had to do was put your music on my iPod
And he would start to calm down.
We would dance around the house! His favorite I think
Was the Chickens in the Pen, he would smile and kick
His little legs!
I want to thank you for being you! For making music that
You do! You made my grandson smile, and I love you
For that!
Now get in the pit and try to love someone.

(oh! oh oh! woooo oh woah!)
He got a song to sing he got an axe to grind
He far and wide but still hard to find
He go wop bop a loo bop a wop bam boom
He sang Long Tall Sally and Sweet Sixteen
Good Golly Miss Molly and, uh, Maybellene
He sent the whole world Walking to New Orleans
Mr. Hiatus won’t ya save us from your radio
'Cause these hip hop pop punk rock kids got no soul
(Either way we’re proud to welcome back the star of the show)
So put your hands together for Mr. Rock n Roll
He sang Jailhouse Rock and, oh, Peggy Sue
Rock Around the Clock and Blue Suede Shoes
And still there ain’t no cure for the Summertime Blues
He took the Mississippi Queen to Katmandu
A Stairway to Heaven and yelled Hey Jude
So tell me Proud Mary now Who Do You Love?
Mr. Hiatus won’t ya save us from your radio
'Cause these hip hop pop punk rock kids got no soul
(Either way we’re proud to welcome back the star of the show)
So put your hands together for Mr. Rock n Roll
ayie! oh yeah!
Save me
Love me 'till the day I die, take me to the mountain high
Baby
Guide me through the great divide and lay me by the ocean side, yeah!
oooooh oh, oooooh oh
So put your hands together for Mr. Rock n Roll
He said Hey Good Lookin’, What’s Going On
A whole lotta shakin’ and a simple song
And still there Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
He said Walk This Way Up Around the Bend
'Cause up there we Won’t Get Fooled Again
And yes, he gets high with a little help from his friends
Mr. Hiatus won’t ya save us from your radio
Because these hip hop pop punk rock kids got no soul (got no, ain't got no soul!)
(Either way we’re proud to welcome back the star of the show)
So put your hands together for Mr.
So put your hands together for Mr.
So put your hands together for Mr. Rock n Roll

Amen, Sista! That's what it's
Amen, Sista! That's what it's all about! :) Oh, how I melt every single time I hear Kid sing these lyrics of his! :) Every time he does he transports me...and I am there with him :)
Are you kidding!?! You're OCD
Are you kidding!?! You're OCD obsession fits perfectly with mine! LOL :) Interesting, to say the least! :) Hope you found the reference. I enjoy some of The Doors music. Now I just gotta figure it out. That can take this ol' blonde brain a bit! LOL :)
Thanks ladies! just seeing
Thanks ladies! just seeing your responses now. I'm glad you folks find my OCD obsession interesting!! :)
there has gotta be some Mr Hiatus reference somewhere. It keeps reminding me of Jim Morrison using "Mr Mojo Rising" to call his studio people when he was in hiding... its gotta be something along those lines. :) I'll come across it eventually hopefully.
If you don't find it Travis,
If you don't find it Travis, um, I mean Jade (LOL don't know what I was thinkin'? Must have something else on my brain! LOL), well, if you don't find it...let me try :)
Lovely work Jade, you are so
Lovely work Jade, you are so thorough and I so appreciate your work.
Glad you deciphered this song
Glad you deciphered this song, Jade, nice job. I wondered who Mr Hiatus was too...got no clue!
Haven't been to a concert yet, hope they play this one. I was thinking it'd be cool if they played on the big screen all the people that went along with the lyrics that were used.
Ahhhh, Jade, how do you know
Ahhhh, Jade, how do you know how to get a gal like me a goin'??? All these little tidbit goodies of information??? Heaven, I'm in Heaven :) I'd figured some of this out...but I'd missed more than I thought :) Thanks so much for posting your notes. I'm pretty stoked, I must say to check more out, but that will take a bit of time, so I'll probably be hanging onto this thread for a bit. Thanks again :)
anyone have any ideas on
anyone have any ideas on where the lines: "He got a song to sing he got an axe to grind
He far and wide but still hard to find" came from? Also: "Mr. Hiatus won’t ya save us from your radio
'Cause these hip hop pop punk rock kids got no soul." I'm sure I'm missing something in both these lines...
sorry for the terrible
sorry for the terrible formatting, this forum isn't very flexible! it looks better here: http://www.kidrocklyrics.net/rs-mrrock.htm
Wow!!! Thank you, JADE-FXD!
Wow!!! Thank you, JADE-FXD! This is awesome - excellent website! Thanks for the heads up. I've looked at and for lyrics on this official site and sometimes been disappointed. I didn't understand it's been an issue to try to correct this. I'm by far no technology guru but I don't understand how the rest of this site works so well but somebody couldn't type in lyrics or correct typos? I'm confident Mr. Ritchie tried to have it corrected because if he put in all the effort to create and compose his songs I'm pretty sure he'd want the correct lyrics posted. Can I get a witness? I guess what I was thinking this website backs up as well: "If a songwriter wrote lyrics, then they were meant to be heard, to inspire, to provoke thought, and to convey ideas. Ignoring lyrics is to ignore much of the meaning at the core of the song." Amen!! EXACTLY what I think...refreshing to hear it from someone else other than the little voices in my head :) lol :)
On another note...I think that's also why I can be a stickler for enunciation. I've seen so many live local acts lately and none...yeah, I'll say none...of them enunciated consistently. Bugs the crap outta me...I mean if they want people to come listen to their music, maybe even show up at the next performance, and they're gonna go through the effort of breathing...let alone moving their mouth(s) and making sound come out (maybe even throw out a facial expression or two) don't waste my time or expect me to buy in to the emotion of it if I can't understand what is being said. I'll do my part...I use q-tips and I pay attention...until poor enuciation tells me they don't care so why should I. ...Whew...sorry to vent a little, but I've seen it a lot...and well, I guess I had to let this out. Thanks for listening if you did :) Anybody else have thoughts on this?
("Can I get a witness?") HELL
("Can I get a witness?") HELL YEAH! :P

"Love me 'till the day I die" could be from a number of things. Fats Domino did Love You Till the Day I Die.
"Take me to the mountain high" could be a Marvin Gaye (Ain't No Mountain High Enough) reference, or a Tina Turner (River Deep, Mountain High) one. Or even John Denver (Rocky Mountain High)!
If "through the great divide" is a Hanson or Scott Stapp reference, I may cry. Lets go with the Neil Young song for that one, or the Willie Nelson album. or The Band's Across the Great Divide.
Hey Good Lookin' is a Hank Williams song.
Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On was made most famous by Jerry Lee Lewis, but the origins of the song are in dispute.

Long Tall Sally and Good Golly Miss Molly are the titles of songs by Little Richard

Maybellene is a Chuck Berry song.
Walking to New Orleans is a Fats Domino song.
I'm not sure about "Mr. Hiatus" but Joe Budden has a song called Hiatus. I'm sure this fact has nothing to do with KR, but wtf... I like Joe Budden so I'm throwing it in here anyway.
the "...got no soul" could be a reference to Led Zeppelin's Black Dog.
"welcome back the star of the show" is similar to the opening of the Emerson, Lake & Palmer song Welcome Back My Friends ("...to the show that never ends...")
"put your hands together" is also the title of a song by the O'jays
Jailhouse Rock is a song by Elvis Presley, and Peggy Sue is a Buddy Holly Song.

Mississippi Queen is the title of a Mountain song (later done by Ozzy Osbourne, Molly Hatchet, Creedence Clearwater Revival & Ministry.) [It also makes me think of rollin' with a Cajun Queen (CCR-Born on the Bayou but that's probably just me...]
Katmandu is a Bob Seger song (also a Cat Stevens song, but I think that one is spelled Kathmandu)
