Title: can someone help identify this song to me.... Post by: nateinthehon on November 19, 2006, 11:15:13 PM This is the second time, a song, that may not even exist has been stuck in my head out of the blue
All I can hear is the chorus of..."I changed the locks on My Back Door"...I know the next line ryhmes with that, but I dont remember what it is. It's like a folky/acoustic rock song, with an upbeat tempo. For a weird reason, I think it's either a Tom Petty or Melissa Etheridge tune ANyone have a clue? Last time I had a song stuck in my head out of the blue was Ride On By AC/DC. All I remmebered was one of these days I'm gonna change my evil ways...but I couldnt figure out what song it was Title: Re: can someone help identify this song to me.... Post by: disease51883 on November 20, 2006, 12:36:17 AM I'm 95% sure this isn't what you're talking about, but your post reminded me of "Move it on Over" by Hank Williams. Even though it doesn't really have a chorus, one of the main lines is "She changed the locks on my front door". It's a 1940s country song that a million people have covered since then, and I'd say "folky" and "upbeat" describe at least one of the versions that I've heard. I don't know.

Broke into the old apartment This is where we used to live Broken glass, broke and hungry broken hearts and broken bones This is where we used to live Why did you paint the walls? Why did you clean the floor? Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door? This is where we used to live Why did you keep the mousetrap? Why did you keep the dishrack? these things used to be mine I guess they're still , I want them back Broke into the old apartment Forty-two stairs from the street Crooked landing, crooked landlord Narrow laneway filled with crooks. This is where we used to live. Why did they pave the lawn? why did they change the locks? Why did I have to break in, I only came here to talk This is where we used to live How is the neighbor downstairs? How is her temper this year? I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun I know we don't live here anymore We bought an old house on the Danforth She loves me and her body keeps me warm I am happy there But this is where we used to live Broke into the old apartment Tore the phone out of the wall Only memories, fading memories Blending into dull tableaux I want them back Title: Re: can someone help identify this song to me.... Post by: nateinthehon on November 20, 2006, 07:17:05 PM no neither of these two songs, thanks for the suggestion. I listened to them on Itunes
The beat, or general rythem sounds Tom Petty'ish. Like a Bluesy/Folk mix I changed The Locks on My Back DOor Dah Dah Dha Da Dha I aint .....Dah Dah Dha I dunno, Its been driving me nuts though I think it came on the radio, like on my alarm, and I was all groggy hearing it, and now cant get it out of my head Title: Re: can someone help identify this song to me....

Title: Re: can someone help identify this song to me.... Post by: pasnow on November 21, 2006, 09:32:10 AM Hmmm, now I could swear your talking about George Thoroughgood. He covers the "Move it on over" and it seems to fit your description.
"I changed the locks on my back door I ain't gonna see your face no more so move it on over.. move it on over Move over little darlin', the big old dog is moving in" or something like that (it was from memory, not copied & pasted) Title: Re: can someone help identify this song to me.... Post by: nateinthehon on April 10, 2007, 06:43:17 PM I finally found the song!!!! Its been like what 3 1/2 months since I made this post, but I found the song on Limewire...it's title was Change the Locks and says its from the shes the one soundtrack...
I changes the locks on my backdoor Changes the mumbers on my phone.... Its a bluesy breakup song, somewhere between sad, happy and bitter...very cool song |
