Can anyone help...

At the beginning of Im OK the band sing something like hey hey hey something like Seven on a rotate....or something...ime often too drunk to work it out....what is sung and what does it mean

Thanks

Darren,

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Eight, Skate, Seven on the Rotate!

It's a term used for the game Craps. I personally asked him about this since it was bugging me for years.

Pieces of Eight is a concept album, I guess it has to do with gambling.

Hope that helps

Thanks Suite....I can now sleep at night for the first time since 1978.

You're welcome Darren, if there's anything else you need, just let me know, I'll try my best to find out the answers

I'm glad that you're going to get a good night sleep. It'll be better too when you come to the States and your on one of our time zones :wink:

That was bugging me for years and years too. I finally remembered to ask him. I have a list of 40+ questions that I still would like answered. I finally got smart enough to write them down

What were some of the 40 questions and what were the answers ?

Thanks Suite....I can now sleep at night for the first time since 1978.

Hmm. . . makes me wonder, Darren, did you experience much love in the midnight during all those sleepless nights? :wink:

Darren, I have pages of questions, most of them are from members of the various boards/groups that I'm on and they're basically the same questions that I wanted to know. I've been collecting questions for a few years now. I'm sure Sadie & Bugsy can remember most of the answers (from the studio, backstage & my interview) - LOL :shock:

I'm hoping to find someone that has a DVD burner around here so I can pass my little interview to my friends so they can help transcribe it. I also have the rest of my co-host interview too and the whole radio interview, so there's a whole lotta stuff to put on here. Some things I'm sure no one knew and some things that are the same from interview to interview. I'm terrible transcribing and remembering anything. :shock:

What does JY ( if it is JY ) utter at the beginning and the end of "On My Way"?????? I never can quite make it out.

by **SuiteMadameBlue** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 2:15 am

Yogi, I wish I could help you out.

Is this the beginning?

"...everybody plays this one right, everybody gets a fresh, hot latte and a scone..."

and then

"...'scuse me, waitress, latte's and scones for
everybody!..."

Since I can't find the cd, I can't listen - UGH

I left my Crystal Ball cd in the car, on the song "Mademoiselle", Dennis talks at the beginning right?

What does he say?

He says something in French..

J'aime la mademoiselle, oooh la la

which I believe translates to "I love you mademoiselle, ohh la la"

That ruins an otherwise GREAT styx song. I hate that they put that crap in the song.

Thing is - I don't think it's JY either. Sounds too good to be JY.

Here is one for ya

What song does Dennis say the line

On your tippie toes

Suite can't play

Froy says:

Why can't I play? :cry:

Just kidding.

You're talking about JY on the "On My Way" song right? Not Mademoiselle in the beginning. The talking in Mademoiselle is totally Dennis.

During the song Why Me DDY is heard having a conversation.........anyone make it out ?

Also at the start of Lonely People.....DDY shouts Hey .....knock it off will ya...ime trying to get some sleep, want me to call the cops....then I cant make it out

by **Ash** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 4:23 am

after that he says

"I tell ya Irma.... I can't wait until they {sweet the street?} and get that damn old theatre down"

I can't quite make out the area in {}

by **bugsymalone** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 4:29 am

Here goes my take:

In “Why Me” Dennis has a conversation with himself and it sounds like he is saying:

“That’s what I wanna know. You know what I mean? I mean – HUH! I dunno…”

At the beginning of “Lonely People,” he hears the saxophone music outside (and rain is falling). He bangs on the wall (floor?):

"Hey! Hey down there ! Knock it off will ya?!! Give it a rest, will ya?! I gotta get some sleep ! Want me to call the cops?? I tell ya (name??) I can’t wait until (something) tear that damn ol’ theater down.”

Close as I can come on Lonely People. What he says in "Why Me" I think is pretty accurate.
