And it won't forgive me after all these years

This sounds like a rock-n-roll station playlist -- all the songs I know have been on CHOM-FM within the last month. probably.


1. I've been looking at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild

BACK IN BLACK - AC-DC. (or bahaaaahaaaaack in black)

2. Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon
What could you do?

3. They print my message in the Saturday Sun
I had to tell them I ain't second to none
And I told about equality and it's true
Either you're wrong or you're right

4. Hey, hey mama said the way you move,
Gon' make you sweat, gon' make you groove.

BLACK DOG - LED ZEPPELIN.

CHOM made this song the #1 of all time in one of their iterations of the greatest hits of all time,but just so that they wouldn't be known as the station which always had "STAIRWAY" as the best of all time. Now it's Comfortably Numb. Which is how my rear end feels after playing a round of LS.

5. You got your spell on me, baby.
You got your spell on me, baby.
Yes, you got your spell on me, baby,
Turnin' my heart into stone

BLACK MAGIC WOMAN - SANTANA - this one I do remember from 1971, from the radio, cuz I was too cheap to buy the album.

6. Boiling heat, summer stench
`Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I`ll hear you scream again

BLACK HOLE SUN - SOUNDGARDEN. The cosmological term "black hole' was coined by Princeton physicist John Archibald Wheeler in 1967.

7. I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men
When they dive from the fourteenth floor

8. Yeah, keep on shinin' your light, gonna make every thing
Pretty mama, gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries 'cause I ain't in no hurry at all

BLACK WATER ? ? DOOBIES ???

9. But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done that
And it won't forgive me after all these years

10. She really gets me high (Bam-ba-Lam)
You know that's no lie (Bam-ba-Lam)
She's so rock steady (Bam-ba-Lam)
And she's always ready (Bam-ba-Lam)

BLACK BETTY - RAM JAM. That certain station used to play this at 0745h about one day in two. It has a good guitar soloist, FWIW.

11. And now at last we plainly see
We'll have a dance of Liberty, Liberty!

12. What can I do?
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue

Beatles '65: Baby's In Black.


Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that fits the theme of today's game.

LITTLE BLACK SUBMARINES - THE BLACK KEYS. doubling the theme.


5 Point Bonus: Who was the first African American artist to take a rap song to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100? I think a contradiction in terms, since a song which hit #1 pop has to be a sell-out and therefore can not be really rap or hip-hop. Therefore, never is the answer. If not, HAMMER is probably right.

1.
2. Black Velvet, Alanna Myles
3.
4. something by Led Zeppelin
5. Black Magic Woman, Santana
6.
7.
8. Old Black Water, Doobie Bros
9.
10.
11. Black and White, 3 Dog Night
12. Black is Black, Los Bravos
Blanket WAG That Old Black Magic for the remaining titles and Eminem for the remaining artists

Still my fave Doobie song. Then again, I'm always a sucker for an a capella modulation at some random point in the song. Almost as much as a random stop......and start again.

9. But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done that
And it won't forgive me after all these years

Black Horse and the Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall

Man, she hit the bottom of the flash in the pan dust bin in record time, didn't she?

10. She really gets me high (Bam-ba-Lam)
You know that's no lie (Bam-ba-Lam)
She's so rock steady (Bam-ba-Lam)
And she's always ready (Bam-ba-Lam)

Black Betty - Ram Jam

Wow, I got clear to 10 before my krox got stolen. Now I'm forced to go all old school country & western on your ass....

11. And now at last we plainly see
We'll have a dance of Liberty, Liberty!

Black and White - Pete Seeger

Yeah, yeah, Three Dog Night. But I put Seeger just to make you actually read up on the history of this song, which is quite interesting.

12. What can I do?
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue

Black is Black - Los Bravos


Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that fits the theme of today's game.

Long Black Veil - Lefty Frizzell

aka the most painful and hated song in my dad's various bands' repertoires. Because it was a long, slow, ponderous dirge with a 2/4 bass line that was sofa king boring that you were lucky if all of the band members were still conscious at the end. I hated it when I had to fill in on bass for practices and had to sit through this. We'd always follow it up with Under the Double Eagle or Wipeout just to wake up.....ha!


5 Point Bonus: Who was the first African American artist to take a rap song to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100?

Sir Mix-a-lot

Ack!!!! I was so involved in my Long Black Veil reminiscing that I didn't even read the bonus until I previewed! I don't think many bona fide "rap" songs made big waves on the Hot 100 once they added the rap chart, but this one was massive and I remember that it was the highest charting rap song ever or something. Which is not what the question asked, but whatever.....

Fanny Fun Fact: The first rap album to go #1 was Licensed to Ill....
