An instant blues classic off the Badloves 1993 album “Get On Board”. You could be forgiven for thinking this song was written by some black dude 100 years ago, such is the cool old-school bluesy feel of this classic. The original recording featured a young Michael Spiby on vocals at his silky smooth best and John “Jak” Housden laying down the sublime lead guitar licks. This is an excellent track to have in your mid tempo set.

Track Notes: The REAL Track features the main guitar only, not the wah-wah track (that’s for you to play!) and no backing vocals as yet.

Tip: In the video below, check out the ending where the band really has fun with the song jamming out over the last minute, and leaving the tape rolling to catch the band chatting after the song ends. This is something The Beatles did a lot of, so the boys were onto a winning formula here!

Green Limousine

The Badloves

Listen to the sounds of the revolution
Everybody’s out on the street tonight
Everybody’s cool, everything’s alright
You better pray that you’re old man
Don’t get home tonight

When we drive my car where the wild things are
I got a green limousine
Everyone’s a star but they won’t get far without a green limousine

Someone burned the flag of your convention
Set the wheels in motion here tonight
Yeah everybody’s cool, everything’s alright (alright…)
Got a feeling in my bones we’re gonna
Get it on tonight

When we drive my car where the wild things are
I’ve gotta green limousine
Everyone’s a star but they won’t get far without a green limousine

Well, no need to get uptight
I’ve got room to spare
With prophets and sweet hitchhikers
I’m gonna take you there…

Well everybody’s cool, and everything’s alright
I got a feeling in my bones (I got a feelin’) we’ll get it on tonight

People drive your car where the wild things are
I got a… green limousine
I’m a shining star yeah I glide on tar
I got a green limousine (ooh…)
Jonah caught a whale, put it up for sale
And bought a green limousine (I got a, I got a…)
Yeah I got, hidden lens, black money
And a… green limousine

(Yeah… green limousine)
Everybody get down (everybody’s cool)
Everybody just remember (everybody’s got to be alright)
Everybody get on (woh…)
Everybody got to get on, get on board…
(Ooh…)
