Windshield/Broadway Melody of 1974 (Genesis cover, 1974) by Gary Rees published on 2020-04-05T20:06:38Z © 1974 Genesis Another cover from the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, the 1974 double album by Genesis. Previously I posted my cover of Back in N.Y.C. (https://soundcloud.com/gary-rees-since-87/back-in-nyc-a-semi-experimental-cover-for-my-fellow-fans-of-old-genesis). I'd love to cover the whole album eventually. Thanks to my man Junez @pannican-flyswatter for listening to a couple of earlier versions and for his encouragement. Credit to freemidi.org. Those who know Fly on a Windshield and its lyrics will understand why I only covered the latter part of the song at this time. ------------------------------------------------- And I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway. Echoes of the Broadway Everglades, With her mythical madonnas still walking in their shades: Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand. Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand. Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing. Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline failing. Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food and the band plays 'In the Mood' The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand, there's a smell of Peach blossom and bitter almonde. Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade, he know in a scent, You can bottle all you made. There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, smiling at the majorettes Smoking Winston Cigarettes. And as the song and dance begins, the children play at home With needles; needles and pins.

It might have slowed me down because I had to stop and listen to the most beautiful parts every time, haha. Excellent work Gary, excellent voice! 2020-04-21T05:27:59Z Comment by Walkin' in Pa's Footsteps an utter/cool cover/blossom awesome/Windshield popN 2020-04-18T17:41:42Z Comment by Charnel House Great cover of a great song from a great album! 2020-04-17T20:34:07Z Comment by REKHA Love the synth sounds so much! 2020-04-17T01:43:36Z Comment by REKHA Amazing cover...very cool!!! 2020-04-17T01:43:25Z Comment by 👫KidOfEarth🌍 Superb cover!! 2020-04-16T21:45:05Z Comment by Michael Christopher Lynn Brilliant cover.
