After the turn of the century
over the clear blue skies of Germany
came a roar and a thunder man had never heard
like the screaming sound of a big war bird

Up in the air,a man in his plane
Baron Von Richtofen was his name
80 men tried to end that spree
of the bloddy red baron of Germany

10,20,30 40 50 or more
the bloddy red baron was rolling up his score
80 men died trying to end that spree
of the bloddy red baron of Germany

In the nick of time a hero arose
a funny looking dog with a big black nose
he flew into the sky to seek revenge
but the baron shot him down curses foiled again


I tried this from memory but i know the 2nd verses last 2 lines are most probably wrong.

Somer if there was ever a sure thing it was me knowing that you would be the one who knew what there claim to fame was.

This was featured in one of the BEST 80s movies with one of the HOTTEST actors who I still LOVE LOVE LOVE today! He is even HOT HOT HOT today!



And I didn't get reading past "In Your Eyes", but how could none of you list

"I Want Candy!"

Hee hee. I admit. I have this song on a CD in my car! (It also has Melt With You on it, which is also featured in another 80s AWESOME movie)

No freaking way!!!! This is IM material that I have for you, but not tonight. You would have to catch me at work some time.

Guys! Sorry for bringing up a dead thread. I haven't been here for a while and just skimming through what I'm finding interesting. AS I skim through this I haven't seen AC/DC on here.

Thunderstruck - use to be my theme song. Now I'm too old for it, or out of shape.
Hells Bells

Let's Go All the Way - Sly Fox

One Night in Bankok - Murray Head - from the Broadway Play "Chess." It was a good play. Never saw it with the original cast, but the actor who replaced Murray Head and sang the song, made it the worst song in the play.
