The only words in the chorus I remember are - either: you-u-u, you see me cryin'... ta-ta-ta-ta ta-ta-ta-ta :) or: you-u-u, you hear me cryin'... ta-ta-ta-ta ta-ta-ta-ta :) please give your tips who can ! THANX ! post comment

The Pretenders and The Who Concert - 5/12/06 [07 Dec 2006|12:30am] goddessofpower Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that I saw The Pretenders open for the The Who the other night, and they kicked ass! Chrissie sounded amazing. Her voice has never been better. It was a great show. She sang lots of the classic hits and wore a top hat, jeans, high boots and a white jacket over a sleeveless blue tank. It was kind of like the video for "Don't Get Me Wrong" only classier. And the songs rocked. Has anyone else seen them on this tour? They're amazing live right now. post comment

Pack it Up! [02 Apr 2006|04:33pm] beamishgirl at the last possible second i decided to take my chances and see if i could score a scalped ticket to the pretenders show at irving plaza last night... and yes, i was victorious. so at around 7:30 pm after spending the day with papa and having taxes done, a yummy polish soul food lunch of pierogies, potato pancakes, and borscht, my father yelling at me (he's still a teensy bit crotchety after the surgery, but is healing nicely despite his lack of patience) i decided to hit the atm, slap on some chapstick, and jump in the car and head over to the city. made it into the city at record time (about 45 minutes) parked across the street from irving, and tried to scope out some tix. i must say the bouncers were super nice at irving plaza, checking to see if there were any "will call" tix that were left unclaimed at the box office while managing the crowd and not being nasty. i ended up buying a tix from a 55-ish man who kept claiming "i'm not an asshole, i'm not a scalper, blah blah blah...." i scoped him out for about 20 minutes, watched him sell a tix to another woman before me, and made sure she got in the venue without difficulty. i missed the opening act (yay!) and timed it perfectly so that i only had to wait maybe 20 min. before chrissie and the boys hit the stage. i'm soooo glad i gave in to my impulsive nature because ms. hynde opened the show with "pack it up" a slightly more obscure track from the second album. it definately was a show designed for fans since she played "day after day", and TWO TRACKS FROM THE EP!!!!! "Cuban Slide" and "Porcelian". I thought i would have to go to my grave never hearing "Cuban Slide" live, but now I can live a long fullfilling life after hearing "Slide" live and dancing my ass off. Other songs (not found on the 80s singles compilation which most of the posers in the audience seemed familar with) were "the Wait" and "Thumbilina" off of "Learing to Crawl." She ended the second encore with "Message of Love" (my fave song of all time) and "Brass in Pocket" of course. So this looks like it's the last Pretenders tour, ever!!! I urge you all to get off your asses and get to a show. (X Posted to my journal) 2 comments|post comment

[22 Sep 2005|03:25pm] biberkopf_bear So glad to find this community!  "The Pretenders" top my list as best rock band of all time. Fav. song is/always will be "Mystery Achievement"!  That song is the alpha and omega!  (But "Tequila," "Kid" ["The Isle of View" version], and the guitar solo in the middle of "Birds of Paradise" frequently bring me to tears.) I only saw them perform live once in Indianapolis in Feb. '03, right before we invaded Iraq.  Chrissie was so angry and outspoken against Bush and the war, she didn't give a flying fuck what this midwestern crowd thought!  I just cheered her on!  And the music didn't disappoint one bit!  They knocked me out! Question:  is there a longer version of "Tequila" out there?  What a gem! 3 comments|post comment

Recommendation! [07 Aug 2005|08:07pm] magicpoison Download this song: Monsterpuss - Ohio Why? Because the chorus contains the line "Outside Cleveland / Outside Ohio / Maybe I'll find Chrissie Hynde's soul". Plus singer Ingrid C. Stack sounds a lot like Chrissie, in my opinion. Note: You might need to be logged into the site soundclick.com in order for it to work. post comment
