In a previous post I stated that I was compiling a DVD for Robert of the songs he and his friend’s performed at Drummer Mike’s 40th birthday party. The problem was, I am not terribly familiar with the kind of music they perform. There was one song I had never heard before. I listened to it over and over trying desperately to figure out what in the world they were saying. Finally I decided they were singing, “Are you going down? Are you going down?” I entered that as the title of the clip and burnt the DVD. This weekend I gave Robert the DVD. After watching it, he complimented my mastery of Windows Movie Maker and Windows DVD Maker. He then told me that the song is not “Are You Going Down?” but rather, “Tie Your Mother Down.” Oddly enough, I kinda thought maybe that’s what they were singing but I dismissed it as misheard lyrics– kinda like Jimi Hendrix’s “Excuse Me While I Kiss this Guy.”

Obviously this is not Robert and his friends. The lyrics in this clip are much clearer.

Why does Rob and his friends refuse to perform any Monkees’ songs? Why no Elvis? C’mon fellows! How about wearing some tight gold suits!
