A Day is probably my favorite Wooden Nickel song. Grove, for me, is more about the subject matter than the actual song. By law, I'm not allowed to hate Song for Suzanne.

The subject matter? Praytell what do you mean?

You don't have to hate Song for Suzanne to REALLY dislike it.

Obviously not a Dennis fan here. How can you put Show Me and Roboto on your list? Two classics. Especially SMTW.

Oh, I'm a Dennis fan, but I'm just a lot more partial to his pre-Kilroy stuff. I would even agree with you that SMTW and Roboto are Styx classics, but I just don't care for them!

I see Zan wanted a chance to bash Dennis some more so she created a post specifically to do so.

You're obviously brilliant. With a perfect screen name. How many Darwin awards have you received, incidentally?

By the way, NH, it's not WHO the song is about, but WHAT about WHO the song is about that gives me nightmares. lol

While I've never had nightmares pondering the What and the Who, I can say that it's never kept me up at night either...errrr so to speak.

Just kidding! Men are pigs and he probably just had a wonderful night and was thinking about it and had to write about it or something like that.

Sorry to hear that something like "that" wouldn't keep you "up" at night. :wink:

"Born For Adventure" the live version, pretty much "excites" me :shock:

Just something about that song!

LOL, very cute!!! By the way, you're cute!

Seriously though, have you read a lot of the lyrics?? I keep forgetting that those were written a long time ago, probably when they were all in their sexual prime and probably had that on their mind 24/7. I just never "got" what most of those lyrics meant way back when like I do now - LOL I'm very s-l-o-w with that kind of stuff :wink:

[Excerpted from an interview with Dennis DeYoung on the Jonathan Brandmeyer show on WLUP in 1997]
DDY: ...I have a song on there [The Serpent Is Rising] called The Grove Of Eglantine, you know what that means?
JB: No, I have no idea
DDY: Oh please.
JB: I have no idea
DDY: Well, it's a Victorian reference to a part of the female anatomy
JB: The Grove of Eglantine refers to the vagina?
DDY: Well, yeah.
JB: Get outta here!
DDY: They call it The Grove at Eglantine, but I changed it to The Grove of Eglantine.

Yes, but Dennis said why he did this song...He said that he wrote this goofy type song because Lady Had bombed and that he thought that this was what people wanted to hear...

Then Lady went on to become a hit....
