Dreadlock Holiday

"Dreadlock Holiday" is a reggae song by 10cc. It was written by Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman and was the lead single from the band's 1978 album, Bloody Tourists Lead vocals were performed by Graham Gouldman.

The lyrics relate the experiences of a white man lost in Jamaica. His first encounter with the locals is of being confronted in the street by an unpleasant dreadlocked man who wants the white man's silver necklace. The next encounter is when he is beside the pool of his hotel sipping a pina colada; a dark-voiced woman offers him drugs. These experiences were based on real events that happened to Moody Blues vocalist Justin Hayward and Eric Stewart in Jamaica.

The reference to cricket in the first chorus, reggae in the second, and Jamaica in the third, reflects the victim trying to avoid conflict by convincing the antagonist that they share common interests.

It became the group's third and final number one hit in the UK Singles Chart, and final top 10 hit, spending a single week at the top in September 1978

I think its only fair I put a 10cc song in somewhere

There is a great story throughout it and it has a great rhythm

I would strongly recommend it even if you're not fond of Reggae music

this is a catchy guitar dominated piece it is almost impossible for me to listen without trying to sing along

it is short but it was ruined by an awful, long, boring Part 2

Tiny Dancer 

"Tiny Dancer" is a 1971 song by Elton John with lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It appears on John's fourth album, Madman Across the Water, and was released as a single in 1972. In the U.S. it was certified Gold on 19 May 2005, and Platinum on 19 August 2011 by the RIAA

Due to the song lacking a strong hook, "Tiny Dancer" was initially a non-starter as a single in the US, reaching only #41 on the U.S. pop chart and was not even released as a single in the UK. The song fared better in Canada, where John had much of his early commercial breakthrough success, peaking at #19. It was also a hit in Australia, peaking at #13. Eventually, the song slowly became one of John's most popular songs even in the territories that initially failed to embrace it






I like this songs verses and I think its well written
It is quite long and it takes 2:42 seconds to get to the chorus which is bad if your in a hurry

"Piano Man" is a fictionalized retelling of Joel's experience as a piano-lounge singer for six months in 1972

When originally issued as a single, the song was deemed too long by Columbia Records executives

(5 minutes and 38 seconds), so two verses were cut in half and spliced together for the release as a 45, clocking in at 4 minutes and 33 seconds




This is possibly the best known Billy Joel song
It is a song that tells an interesting story of various characters and there loneliness
its an easy song to join in with
