May 20, 200917 yr Anyways, I don't know the name of any of the songs I've heard at Kings Island except for "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Which, of course I'm only 15, so I wasn't around when most of the artists were huge hits in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and even the early 00s because I can't remember back then. I am very impressed that a 15 year old actually knows how to spell Lynyrd Skynyrd's name correctly! Way to go!
May 20, 200917 yr Pink Floyd- Fearless. Walking out of the park. The most surreal moment I've ever had in the park. Due to a conversation had about this album 15 min. before.
May 20, 200917 yr Journey-Stone in love plays early in the morning the past 2 times I have went it's played around 9:20.
May 20, 200917 yr its a mater of time before the park gets rick rolled at the rate that song is travelin around cincy. With my luck, it will be the day I go.
May 20, 200917 yr 'The Shape I'm In' by The Band-very surprised and impressed by that..The Band always reminds me of Rivertown. 'Blinded By the Light' is a classic as well, and 'The Seeker ' by The Who in The Beast line. All great to hear
May 20, 200917 yr The $64 question is whether the soundtrack in Boomerang Bay will consist of more than six to nine Beach Boys tunes this year...
May 20, 200917 yr Speaking of Boomering Bay, does anyone know a tune on the sound track that goes, I think, like this: " We're all over the sun," then a chorus "sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun". Is it the Beach Boys or Jan and Dean or some other group? I'm trying to find it on Google. Help, Terpie.
May 20, 200917 yr No...it goes "We're having fun, fun, fun in the warm California sun!" The Rivieras: Or is it another?
May 20, 200917 yr That's not the song I was thinking of. I am sure the one I am thinking of goes" sun, sun, sun sun..." it is not a very well known song but they used to play it on the sound track at Water Works, then brought it back after Boomering Bay went back to the regular beach music. It sounds like the Beach Boys or Jan and Dean, probably Jan and Dean.
May 20, 200917 yr You're kidding? I never knew they recorded that. Sorry, not the one I am thinking of.
May 20, 200917 yr I don't think anyone has mentioned "If You Had My Love" by Jennfier Lopez aka J-Lo lol! I definitely heard that in line for The Beast on the 10th. I only remember because me and my sister began to dance in line.

Yeah, it's kinda funny (And sad) how the majority of the newer generation (Even those who claim to be fans) can't spell the name correctly, lol.

May 20, 200917 yr Olidesmann, that was sweet! That reminds me of my surfer music obsession when i was in high school. Granted that was in the early 90's when everyone around me was into the "grunge" phase of music. Thank goodness i stayed away from that stuff!
May 20, 200917 yr When I was a teenager, music that was 20 years old really sounded "old" because stereo recording technologies hadn't "leveled off" yet. I couldn't enjoy 60s music (except the Beatles, who were using such different chord progressions and harmonies than many of their contemporaries) because it sounded tinny and "AM Radio"-ish. It makes me wonder if teenagers today can pinpoint whether a song was recorded before or after they were born just by the sound of the mix? I can listen to "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour (1988), "All of My Love" by Led Zeppelin (1979), and "Cyanide" by Metallica (2008) all in order, and it sounds like they could all have been recorded in the same year, but put in "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones (1966) and it sounds out of place among the rest.
May 20, 200917 yr "Finding My Way" by Rush; SERIOUSLY?? Wow. I heard Closer to the Heart there recently, which is much more likely to be heard than Finding My Way. But I guess if this is satellite radio, then anything's possible. Other notables: - "Lamb Lies Down" (Genesis) - "Night Flight" (Zeppelin) - a couple Yes tunes
May 20, 200917 yr "Finding My Way" by Rush; SERIOUSLY?? Wow. I heard Closer to the Heart there recently, which is much more likely to be heard than Finding My Way. But I guess if this is satellite radio, then anything's possible. Seriously! And timely, too, because it was about the time everyone was finding their way to the parking lot. I'm a huge Rush fan, so I know that was the song. The level at which they were playing it did no justice to the song. The Geddy Lee screech becomes unnerving when overmodulated.
May 20, 200917 yr I remember hearing "Finding My Way" too. It was late in the day (I think it was opening day) and we were finding our way over to the carousel to get a ride on that before it closed. Oddly enough, speaking of carousels, I was getting on Nick-O-Round when I heard "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" by Genesis which dakota2112 had mentioned. My ears automatically perk up when I hear that piano intro since I very seldom hear it outside of my playing the cd.
May 20, 200917 yr On opening day I heard Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" over the loudspeakers right before the Gold Pass holders were unleashed to Diamondback. Anyone find it ironic that this song is on the Forrest Gump soundtrack?
May 20, 200917 yr Band on the Run- Paul McCartney I also herd One Love by Bob Marley, except it wasn't Bob who was singing it...
May 21, 200917 yr A couple of interesting things to note about "I Live For The Sun" (courtesy of Wikipedia) The song only hit #51 in the US, but was a #1 hit in Australia (ironic considering that BB is Australian themed) The band's manager was the father of Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys
May 28, 200917 yr This past Sunday I heard "First Time" by Lifehouse as I was exiting Spongebob. Although I was a bit surprised to hear it, I'm glad they played it because I'm a big fan of both that song and the band in general.
May 30, 200917 yr I wish they had their own, excellent music. I think it could really add to the atmosphere.
June 2, 200917 yr I miss the paramount music that used to be played. I heard them play Maroon 5- Must get out When I went this past Saturday.
June 2, 200917 yr I've actually heard in coney Mall Lisa Stansfield All Around The World and Debarge All this love
