You Can't Catch Me
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSfx1nZTAuM">You Can't Catch Me</a>, Music and Lyrics by Chuck Berry. <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/The+Rolling+Stones/_/You+Can%27t+Catch+Me">The Stones covered it.</a> John Lennon was<a href="http://www.abbeyrd.net/lenlevy.htm"> sued (twice!)</a> for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXdo1jGfzsM">covering it</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e7AQQTONvg">appropriating the lyrics</a>. If Iggy Pop and the Stooges were never sued for doing the same thing as "Come Together" in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7dKnF0coxQ">1970</a>, perhaps it's because nobody could understand what exactly he was saying, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Birdman#Origins">not even the bands that took their names from the adapted lyrics</a>. Perhaps JJ Cale was thinking of the chorus when he wrote <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVUBsEMgW5o&feature=related">Call Me The Breeze</a> in 1971. Finally, though Jonothan Richman's "Roadrunner" clearly took inspiration from the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4qp3T476co&feature=related">Velvet Underground's Sister Ray </a>and Bo Diddley's "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUKUt8CtSOI">Road Runner</a>"(<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/jul/20/popandrock5">among other things</a>), but, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTT-wj69ObE">as a Berry fan</a>, you can hear Richman echoing the lyrics in the Spirit of 1956 going Faster Miles an Hour, with the radio on, tuned to Rock And Roll. More covers: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3_x2I8FQ8Q">Steven Stills</a>. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Anthology-Blues-Project/dp/samples/B000001EIV/ref=dp_tracks_all_2#disc_2">Blues Project</a>. Lyrics: Can't Catch Me I bought a brand new airmobile It was custom made It was a Flight DeVille With an outboard motor And some hideaway wings Push in on the button and you can hear her sing Now you can't catch me No, baby, you can't catch me 'Cause if you get too close You know I'm gone like a cool breeze New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours I was rolling slowly 'cause of drizzlin' showers Up come a flattop he was movin' up with me Then come sailin' goodbye In a little old suped up mini I put my foot in my tank and I begin to roll Moanin' sirens, was the state patrol So I get out my wings and then I blew my horn Bye-bye New Jersey I become airborne Now you can't catch me No, baby you can't catch me 'Cause if you get too close You know I'm gone like a cool breeze Flyin' with my baby last Saturday night Wasn't no gray cloud floatin' in sight Big full moon shinin' up above Cuddle up honey be my love Sweetest little thing that I ever seen I'm gonna name you Mabelline Flyin' with all the things set on flight control Radio tuned to rock 'n' roll Two, three hours passin' by Altitude dropped to 505 Fuel consumption way too fast Let's get on home before we run out of gas Now you can't catch me No baby, you can't catch me 'Cause if you get too close You know I'm gone like a cool breeze Come together Here come old flattop. He come grooving up slowly He got ju-ju eyeballs. He's one holy roller He got hair down to his knee Got to be a joker he just do what he please Shoot me! Shoot me! Shoot me! He wear no shoeshine he's got toe-jam football He got monkey finger he shoot Coca-Cola He say "I know you, you know me" One thing I can tell you is you got to be free Come together right now over me. Shoot me! Shoot me! Shoot me! He buy production he got walrus scumble He's got Ono sideboard he's got spinal cracker He's got feet down below his knee Hold you in his arms till you can feel his disease Come together right now over me. He's roller-coaster he's got early warning He's got muddy water he's got mojo filter He say "One and one and one is three" Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see Come together right now over me. 1970 Out of my mind on Saturday night 1970 rollin' in sight Radio burnin' up above Beautiful baby, feed my love All night till I blow away All night till I blow away I feel alright, I feel alright Baby oh baby, burn my heart Baby oh baby, burn my heart Fall apart baby, fall apart Baby oh baby, burn my heart All night till I blow away All night till I blow away I feel alright I feel alright Roadrunner Roadrunner, roadrunner Going faster miles an hour Gonna drive past the Stop 'n' Shop With the radio on I'm in love with Massachusetts And the neon when it's cold outside And the highway when it's late at night Got the radio on I'm like the roadrunner Alright I'm in love with modern moonlight 128 when it's dark outside I'm in love with Massachusetts I'm in love with the radio on It helps me from being alone late at night It helps me from being lonely late at night I don't feel so bad now in the car Don't feel so alone, got the radio on Like the roadrunner That's right Said welcome to the spirit of 1956 Patient in the bushes next to '57 The highway is your girlfriend as you go by quick Suburban trees, suburban speed And it smells like heaven(thunder) And I say roadrunner once Roadrunner twice I'm in love with rock & roll and I'll be out all night Roadrunner That's right Well now Roadrunner, roadrunner Going faster miles an hour Gonna drive to the Stop 'n' Shop With the radio on at night And me in love with modern moonlight Me in love with modern rock & roll Modern girls and modern rock & roll Don't feel so alone, got the radio on Like the roadrunner

Haaaaah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! The Laughing Policeman!
<a href="http://www.laughingpoliceman.com/sing_along.htm">When I was a kid, my dad, who grew up in London, during the Blitz, used to play this old record: a song called "The Laughing Policeman."</a> It always put a smile on my face. According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Laughing_Policeman_%28song%29">Wikipedia</a>, it was written in 1922 by Charles Jolly, who wrote "numerous other laughing songs (The Laughing Major, Curate, Steeplechaser, Typist, Lover, etc)." If you want to hear the happiest policeman ever, <a href="http://www.radiocraft.co.uk/laughiiceman.mp3">here's the mp3</a>.

My favorite entry: "Laughing Gnome - Bowie. Scared the crap out of me as a kid. I remember getting my parents to check under the bed. My father, a bit of an evil electronics bastard put a speaker under my bed one night and played the song just as I was drifting off. He then ran in when I started screaming and pulled out a doll from under the bead and chopped its head off with a machete. God I need therapy."

the saddest song I've ever heard
<a href="http://www.musicanet.org/robokopp/usa/asiwoits.htm">The Streets of Laredo: The Cowboy's Lament</a> was originally written as the Irish drover balled Bard of Armaugh (or <a href="http://www.ierland.com/lyrics/bard_of_armagh.txt">Armagh</a>), which later mutated into A Handful of Laurel, about a young man dying of syphilis in a London hospital, musing back on his days in the alehouses and whorehouses. Immigrants settling in the Appalachians brought their own version, <a href="http://www.mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=7101">The Unfortunate Rake</a>, sung as early as 1790, about a young soldier dying of mercury poisoning, a result of treatment for venereal disease, who requests a military funeral - a slight but important evolution from the previous version. The current lyrics are most popularly attributed to cowboy <a href="http://www.cowboypoetry.com/fhmaynard.htm">Frances Henry "Frank" Maynard</a>, who copyrighted them in 1879. While various <a href="http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=46310">versions</a> of the song were popular in the US before Maynard took pen to paper and needle to wax cylinder (under such titles as <a href="http://www.mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=3672">Locke Hospital</a>, <a href="http://www.mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=5525">St. James Infirmary Blues</a>, Tom Sherman's Bar and Way Down in Lodorra), his version is the one with which we are most familiar today. beat the drum slowly, play the fife lowly / sound the death march as you carry me along / cover my body in sweet-smelling posies / for I'm the young (rake, soldier, man, girl, lass, etc) cut down in (his/her) prime (or and I know I've done wrong) The song has been recorded by pretty much every country, western and folk-identified musical artist since recording music became practical, although the most popular versions must be those by <a href="http://www.arlo.net/bio.shtml">Arlo Guthrie</a> (who once said it was "the saddest song I know," and who sings it on his album Son of the Wind) and <a href="http://www.johnnycash.com/Cashcareer.htm">Johnny Cash</a> (who added <a href="http://www.lyricsdepot.com/johnny-cash/streets-of-laredo.html">a few verses</a> to his 1965 version, improving the song a bit and making it more emotionally complex). <a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/jimmy/folkden/php/search/individ.php?mid=103">Roger McGuinn's</a> creative commons-licensed version is one of my personal favorites, as is Bobby Sutliff's <a href="http://www.houseofideas.com/bobby_sutliff/sound.htm">version</a>.

Yahoo's New Music Lyrics System
In today's world, many people turn to the internet to find information about any subject that one may think about. One subject that is increasing in popularity is searching for full music to all and any genres of songs. This is fairly simple to accomplish with a simple search in Google, but some people worry that in the very near future, this may or may not be changing.

Yahoo recently announced a new feature that would allow users to search music from their site. Yahoo has obtained licensing for tons of artists from many different record labels. In exchange for the allowed use of the music lyrics, Yahoo provides a portion of all advertising revenue gained from the site to the artists and record labels.

Some owners of other music websites have worried that Yahoo's new system will take away a large portion of their site's traffic. One website I contacted even suggested that they would have to take an additional approach, such as offering a new mobile-based system for cell-phone users, in response to the loss of advertising revenue due to Yahoo's new music system. Additionally, some websites are disallowed from posting to certain artists or bands due to copyright issues. Yahoo's system is an attempt to get around this problem and offers music to any song the user would want to search for.

While Yahoo's approach is an elegant solution, there are still a couple of drawbacks to their music system. Part of the deal agreed upon by Yahoo and various record labels include the requirement for all to be in picture format versus pure text. This is mainly to prevent users from copying and pasting the text of and to prevent

online robots from crawling their webpage with the sole intent to steal the text of the lyrics. This also has a drawback, as mentioned above. Since the are in picture format, search engines will not be able to see the text in the lyrics, and searches where users enter a verse from their favorite song will not return a result from Yahoo's system.

Yahoo's music search also suffers from the fact that the "typical" internet user just doesn't know about it. With Google being the current king of search engines, a good portion of internet users have no idea that Yahoo offers such a system. These users will continue to search for music as they always have in the past, through a typical Google search. This, coupled with the fact that 90% of search engine traffic comes from Google, will mean that although Yahoo's system is a nice approach, many online music websites will not be as heavily hit as some once thought after Yahoo's announcement. One thing is for certain: unless Yahoo takes over as the king of search engines, most users will continue to find music online in the same fashion they have used in the past, through Google.

Summary: An in-depth look and response to Yahoo's recent announcement of offering music online. The article generates the conclusion that while many websites have been worried about a loss in the amount of traffic, this may not be as big of an issue as once thought.
