"IT NEVER GROWS OLD... IT SOOTHES YOUR SOUL"

You are listening to "Old Time Rock 'n Roll " by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band.
Recorded Live In Boston 1990 (See Note)
 

 
You Know It When You Hear It
 
 
Just what is old time Rock 'n Roll?  
It's many things to many people since the days of
Bill Haley and his Comets' 1955, #1 hit, "Rock Around The Clock." 
Actually, I think that it is easier to define old time rock 'n roll by what it isn't.
And... like other undefinable qualities, it easier to just leave it this way...
You know it when you hear it. 
 
Whatever...  Bob Seger plucked a three cord progression
and captured the essence of old time rock in his tune,
 
Counting Down
"Old Time Rock 'n Roll."

Old Time Rock 'n Roll
Recorded Live In Boston
 
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock n' roll
                                   
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock n' roll
                                   
Still like that old time rock n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock n' roll
                                   
Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock n' roll
                                   
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock n' roll
                                   
Still like old time rock n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock n' roll

Old Time Rock 'n Roll
BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND
#28 Hit for 1 Week - Top 40 for 5 Weeks
First Charted 05/05/79
 
Remarkably, this Out-of-the-Top-10-Hit
(get this... only charted to #28 and only for 5 weeks) 
has become The Anthem of Classic Rock 'n Roll thanks to
Tom Cruise's unforgetable miming in the movie, 
"Risky Business." 
 
Without a lie, I once spun a gig where I was asked
to repeat this tune 6 times in a row!
It was a group of MDs.
