It's the Scorpions and the Berlin Philharmonic from their 2000 album 'Moment of Glory'. Effectively it's just a remake of the Scorpions hit "Rock You Like a Hurricane' with an orchestra backing.

Hopelessly, thanks! And which Stones song is used for the second half of the intro? I thought I considered myself a Stones fan, but I never recognized whatever song it is that they use!

 

Isn't it "Street Fighting Man?"

I wouldn't usually joke around like that, i feel kind of bad or something. But playoff time alters one chemical balance.

 

Anyone else realllllly like Third Eye Blind. The 1997 album never gets old.

since you made everyone here feel older than dirt, you could at least explain this reference to us old-gogies.

Hell, it hasn't had time enough to get old.

whooooooa, I'm not trying to make anyone feel old. I know the "rock you like a hurricane" song, i just didn't know it was the scorpions, and i've probably heard that name a millions times, just slipped my mind.

 

i'm not an infant or even close....so, i dunno.

 

What reference are you speaking of? i just want to focus on the sabres, enough of this pettiness.

<_<

Well, if the Berlin Philharmonic doesn't bring out risque behavior, I don't know what does.

Speaking of songs, I was reminded recently of a song that always evokes memories of the Sabres for me. Everclear's "AM Radio" talks about growing up in the 70s and the importance of the radio in that bygone era.

 

Listen to it here:

And here are the lyrics:

 

"~KHJ Los Angeles!~ Portions of the day's programming are reproduced by means of electrical transcriptions or tape recordings."

 

You can hear the music on the AM radio

 

The VCR and the DVD

There wasn't none of that crap back in 1970

We didn't know about a World Wide Web

It was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid

 

Wanna get down in a cool way

Picture yourself on a beautiful day

Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair

Just walkin' in style with a portable CD player

No, you would listen to the music on the AM radio

Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio

 

Flashback, '72

Another summer in the neighborhood

Hangin' out with nothing to do

Sometmes we'd go drivin' around

In my sister's Pinto

Cruisin' with the windows rolled down

We'd listen to the radio station

We were too damn cool to buy the eight track tapes

There wasn't any good time to want to be inside

My mama wanna watch that TV all goddamn night

 

I'd be in bed with the radio on

I would listen to it all night long

Just to hear my favorite song

You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the AM radio

Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio

I can still hear Mama say ?Boy turn that radio down!?

 

?Aw, Mom. Not that show again! I don't wanna watch that show! Can't we watch Good Times or Chico and the Man or something cool? Turn it off!"

 

Things changed back in '75

We were all growing up on the in and the outside

We got in trouble with the police man

We got busted gettin' high in the back of my friend's van

 

I remember 1977

I started going to concerts and I saw the Led Zeppelin

I got a guitar on Christmas day

I dreamed that Jimmy Page would come from Santa Monica and teach me to play

Teach me to play...

 

There isn't any place that I need to go

There isn't anything that I need to know

I did not learn from the radio

 

Yeah when things get stupid and I just don't know

Where to find my happy

I listen to my music on the AM radio

You can hear the music on a AM radio

You can hear the music on a AM radio

 

I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco

I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco

We like pop, we like soul, we like rock, but we never liked disco...

 

No I never liked disco...
