Song：Garden Party Artist：Rick Nelson Flash: Westhorse
I went to a garden party To reminisce with my old friends A chance to share old memories And play our songs again When I got to the garden party They all knew my name No one recognized me I didn’t look the same
People came from miles around Everyone was there Yoko brought her walrus There was magic in the air ‘N’ over in the corner Much to my surprise Mr Hughes hid in Dylan’s shoes Wearing his disguise
Played them all the old songs Thought that’s why they came No one heard the music We didn’t look the same I said hello to “Mary Lou” She belongs to me When I sang a song about a honky-tonk It was time to leave
Someone opened up a closet door And out stepped Johnny B Goode Playing guitar Like a-ringin’ a bell And lookin’ like he should If you gotta play at garden parties I wish you a lotta luck But if memories were all I sang I rather drive a truck
But it’s all right now I learned my lesson well You see, ya can’t please everyone So ya got to please yourself
Ya can’t please everyone
So ya got to please yourself
希望感动别人，就先感动自己吧～～～～

Johnny B. Goode, Hello Mary Lou & Honky tonk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Hello Mary Lou" is a song written by U.S. singer Gene Pitney and Cayet Mangiaracina and performed by Ricky Nelson in 1961. "Travelin' Man", hit #1.
A honky tonk (also called a honkatonk, honkey-tonk, or tonk) is a type of bar with musical entertainment common in the Southern and Southwestern United States. The term has also been applied to various styles of 20th-century American music.
"Johnny B. Goode" is a much covered 1958 rock and roll song composed by Chuck Berry. It is one of Berry's most important songs. Written by Berry in 1955, the song is about a poor country boy who plays a guitar "just like ringing a bell", and who might one day have his "name in lights". Berry has acknowledged that the song is partly autobiographical, and originally had "colored boy" in the lyrics, but he changed it to "country boy" to ensure radio play. The title is suggestive that the guitar player is good, and hints at autobiographic elements because Berry was born on Goode Avenue in St. Louis. The song was initially inspired by Berry's piano player, Johnnie Johnson, though developed into a song mainly about Berry himself. Berry has written two more songs involving the character Johnny B. Goode, "Bye Bye Johnny" and "Go Go Go", and titled an instrumental album as "Concerto in B. Goode". The song was prominently featured in the film Back to the Future, in which Michael J. Fox's character Marty McFly plays a cover version of the song at a high-school dance. McFly, who subs in for the lead guitarist after he was injured, plays the song on stage. While McFly plays the song, the lead singer, Marvin Berry, calls his cousin Chuck about a "new sound he has been looking for." The scene is widely referenced throughout popular culture.
杜姐,
喜欢你说得这句话：“希望感动别人，就先感动自己吧”。谢谢你欣赏这首歌曲，我采用了westhorse制作的flash图片来配这首歌曲。歌中唱道的Hello Mary-Lou，是Ricky Nelson演唱的另外一首歌曲的歌名。Ricky Nelson年轻时候的样子，可谓是淳朴自然，他的眼睛明亮迷人，弹着吉他，唱着歌曲，潇洒自如。下面是他唱的《Hello Mary-Lou》和《Travelin' Man》两个歌曲视频版本，和你分享，连接如下：
