This song was one of the few number one hits this band had in the US.

....Don't let it get on your jeans
And though it sounds a little strange
But you got to eat it with gloves....

The answer is "Locomotive Breath" of The Jethro Tull album Aqualung



....Don't let it get on your jeans
And though it sounds a little strange
But you got to eat it with gloves....

Can I get a hint?

Neil Diamond is correct. Was on one of his Greatest Hits Albums. I didn't look, but I hope it is on the net and can be listented to. GREAT SONG!!!

"He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
and a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back."

"Black Denim Trousers And Motorcycle Boots". But I have no clue whom performed it originally.

"Black Denim Trousers And Motorcycle Boots". But I have no clue whom performed it originally.

A group named the Cheers in 1954.

He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
and a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
he had a hopped-up 'cycle that took off like a gun
that fool was the terror of highway 101

Well, he never washed his face and he never combed his hair
he had axle grease imbedded underneath his fingernails
on the muscle of his arm was a red tattoo
a picture of a heart saying mother, i love you

he had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou
but he treated her just like he treated all the rest
and everybody pitied her and everybody knew
he loved that doggone motorcycle best

he wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
and a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
he had a hopped-up 'cycle that took off like a gun
that fool was the terror of highway 101.

Mary Lou, poor girl, she pleaded and she begged him not to leave
she said I've got a feeling if you ride tonight I'll grieve
but her tears were shed in vain and her every word was lost
in the rumble of his engine and the smoke from his exhaust

Then he took off like the devil with fire in his eyes
he said I'll go a thousand miles before the sun can rise.
But he hit a screamin' diesel that was California-bound
and when they cleared the wreckage, all they found

Were his black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
and a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
but they couldn't find the 'cycle that took off like a gun
and they never found the terror of highway 101.

I have seen Tull at least a dozen times. I am a huge fan. You have no idea how happy I was when my daughter chose the flute as her instrument of choice. It was kind of a surprise as we tend to listen to AC/DC, the white stripes, and the black keys more than we do Tull. Just good taste I suppose.

try out some godsmack, buck cherry, silvertide, white stripes ("elephant" was an amazing guitar album), and the black keys. Some of the better bands to come out lately.

Onto the game:

"What I want I take
What I don't I break
And I don't want you
With a flick of my knife
I can change your life
There's nothing you can do"

That's as sad as "Leader of the Pack". I'm gittin' all teary-eyed!!! :dg2:
