Chip McDonald Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 I dunno about a best song, but best band about Indiana would probably be "Violet Indiana", featuring Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins... ------------------ [b]New and Improved Music Soon:[/b] http://www.mp3.com/chipmcdonald Guitar Lessons in Augusta Georgia: www.chipmcdonald.com Eccentric blog: https://chipmcdonaldblog.blogspot.com/ / "big ass windbag" - Bruce Swedien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmadMozart Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 First, let me start this reply by admitting that I am a Hoosier - born in South Bend...so the first Indiana song I would put in might go something like.... "Cheer all for old Notre Dame...." or maybe even.... .."Oh, Indiana, my Indiana, oh Indiana we're all for you....." gasp....sputterrrrr..... Sir John Cougar Mellencamp Esquire is and always was so [b]lame[/b]...such a faux poet. He always tried so hard to be so profound and always ended up sounding so juvenile. Hoosiers by and large are prouder of Dan Quail than they are of Sir John Cougar Mellencamp Esquire Cheers, Mark ------------------ http://www.broadjam.com/artistprofile/artistindex.asp?artistID=936 or listen at... http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/294/mark_coming_project.html http://www.broadjam.com/artistprofile/artistindex.asp?artistID=936 or listen at... http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/294/mark_coming_project.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Room Warrior Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 Well, just for the potential of jazz reharmonization and actual Indiana content, I have to go with "On The Banks of the Wabash." "Oh, the moonlight's fair tonight along the Wabash..." You know, if Robert Indiana and Judy Chicago had a son who grew up to be an artist, they could call him Gary Hammond. - Jim Bordner Jim Bordner Gravity Music "Tunes so heavy, there oughta be a law."

Dylan Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 How about Tom Petty's "Last Dance with Mary Jane". Not directly about Indiana, but it does have the line "he was an Indiana boy from an Indiana town".

DougP Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 "D.I.E. in Indiana" by the Lazy Cowgirls (a band whose career started when they moved from Indiana to L.A.). Interesting how there are many musicians FROM Indiana, but very few IN Indiana (although IU has a top-notch music department). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro Jules Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 Who performed "Indiana Wants Me"? Aged between 5-8 it was a BIG "crush on a baby sitter" song for me.. I do belive her actual name was Indiana.. Sigh! What year was it in the US charts? I want my blanket! (and a lap dance) :) Jules Producer Julian Standen London, UK, Come hang here! http://www.gearslutz.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olhhyperback.com Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 The artist was R. Dean Taylor. It was released in 1970. "Indiana Wants Me" was our first #1 hit at Motown that never even touched the R&B charts. It was pure bubblegum. The engineer and voice in the bull-horn on the single is Don Gooch. I recorded and mixed the rest of the album. Dean became much more famous in England than in the U.S. because of an earlier hit there called "Gotta See Jane."

Tedster Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Yep, Bob, I remember being a kid back up in Michigan in 1970, listening to ol' CKLW (in the days before WRIF and WABX and W4) and R. Dean. That brings back some memories. Thanks. I never knew that song was on Motown, because it wasn't R&B. But, thanks! But, just thought of another favorite Indiana song..."Real Fine Love" by John Hiatt... "Well I never went to college I did not have the luck Stole out of Indiana In the back of a pickup truck With no destination higher Than the streets of my hometown Went searchin' for a fire Just to burn it all down..."
