Need Help w/ These Lyrics..................... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

OVERIT · 02-16-2006, 06:36 AM

I play Name That Tune on another forum and this one has got me major stumped. Can anyone help? I will give you the lyrics and the hints that she gave. I need the song title and artist. TIA>

When my woman left
I had a brilliant flash
I started Hippyland, man
Just to raise some cash

I wanted it to be just like Disneyland, Man
For all the hippy-dippy people all across this land
With a Big-Bong ride that would suck you inside
Spin you round & round
'Til everybody got down
Makin' love not war
'Til their bodies got sore
Then you work off all your cramps
In the Lava Lamp...

Here are 2 Hints:

1. Singer's father is Chinese and his mother is Scottish-Irish

2. Former guitarist of a 1960's interracial sextet and he co-wrote the group's biggest hit

That sounds like a really obscure song. Lynrd Skynrd maybe? They did a song name Hippyland. But it sounds like something Frank Zappa would do...or Cheech & Chong. LOL.

You guys were right! You are the bomb. The song was:

Quote

O.K.

It's "Hippyland" by Tommy Chong...a cute rap, (if raps can be cute-yeah I guess they can...), that was on the soundtrack for "Far Out Man". I would have typed more lyrics but the next verse is a bit...well, suggestive. To some, anyway. It wasn't a really popular movie. We ran across it not long after it came out some years ago and although at first it was a bit odd, it tends to grow on you. There are some goofy things that happen but there are parts that are soooo hilarious!! I can PM you the rest of the lyrics...I think I can remember them, we used to sing it all of the time after we saw the movie. I'll be mining from memory so I hope I can get it right. I though this might be a stumper but I thought at least the soundtrack and lyrics might be listed somewhere so I searched for them after your first hint request and found, well, nothing. I found the soundtrack listed but none of the songs. The CD was really hard to find when I found it on eBay about 7 or 8 years ago but I lucked out and it wasn't even open. It was in one of the older packages, when they used to put them in a long cardboard sleeve. Anyway, your turn!! You guessed the singer so that's close enough!
