En liten rättelse: Pinball Wizard framförs av Elton John, fast den förekommer i The Whos rockopera Tommy.:-)
Har funderat på vad det finns för flipperlåtar men kommer inte på några. Är det verkligen så tunt med musik på ämnet?

Torbjörn:

Nänänä...inte Elton John...vilken skymf! :-o Pete Townshend skrev låten och rockoperan Tommy kom ut redan -69. Det var först -74 som Elton John spelade in den... :-)

Det är en riktig höjdarlåt i solklar Pete Townshend-anda...

AMGs utmärkta musikdatabas visar vägen...

Yello - Pinball Cha Cha

Welcome
In Lucy's Bar
Hey you gentlemen over there
Come on closer
See me play
The sensational game
It's the only thing I've got in my life
And I play it every day
And, well, believe it or not,
It's just... pinball
And for me it's
Claro Que Si
Claro Que Si

Come, come close to me
I tell you man you will see
I'm like happy tree
Come close and then you will see

Every ball for me's another game
For you this always looks the same
Every ball for me's another game
For you this always looks the same

Hey you, man you watch me
Might be right I am a fool
But man why don't you tell me
If you know a better tool

All the gates are lit
This is very good for me
It's like a kiss
Watch out man and you will see
Now all lights are on
Believe me man that I have won
I know for you this doesn't look a lot
For me this is the only thing I got

I really couldn't care less
If you take me a for a fool
I know you couldn't show me
Any better tool

Oy oy oy
I like my toy
Claro que si
Is yes for sure
Oy oy oy
I like my toy
A knack inside
I win another game
I press the button and it's not the same

Varför skulle man någonsin vilja äga ett data east spel?:-D:-D:-P

Guns N roses? usch och fy, det är väl inget kul? Jag kan hålla med att det är bra för att vara data east spel, men det har inget att komma med mot något av de bättre williams spelen.

Sen knäpper det varenda gång en lampa blinkar på backboxen...

och kvalitetskänslan är obefintlig.

Jag hatar i och för sig data east spel i största allmänhet:-D

Det här skulle vara något att komplitra mitt Playboy spel med. Klippt från R G P.Was in a used book store yesterday (Thursday, 11/16). Found this
oddity, which I just *had* to purchase.

As I was thumbing through old vinyl LP's, I came across an album
titled *Pinball Playboy: "Playboy Theme"*. (1979-Motown)The cover
caught my attention. It features a woman (Lee Ann Michelle?) sitting
on top of a 1978 Bally Playboy machine. She is wearing white
short-shorts & a lame-type halter top. Her backside is against the
backglass, and she is leaning forward, right hand just above the left
flipper button, left hand between the slingshots. Since she is wearing
a halter top, this pose is, uh, eyecatching.

The first track on the LP is called *Pinball Playboy "Playboy Theme"*.

So, I took it home.

Turns out that Cook County was a disco band, and the Pinball Playboy
tune a 5:35 dance number, featuring sounds lifted straight from the
pin, the *Playboy Theme* that shows up later in the 35th anniversary
machine, and a trio of female vocalists (Jody, Amy, & Lauri Taylor)
cooing about the Pinball Playboy. When I have the time (and a couple
of drinks ;-)  ), I 'll transcribe the lyrics. Shakespeare, it ain't.

A man named Vic Caesar seemed to be the main creative force behind
Cook County. He played vibes, wrote every song *except* Pinball
Playboy, and produced the LP.

Pinball Playboy was written by C. Coleman & C. Leigh.

In the credits, we find the following:

Special thanks to....Hef for his critique & good times.

Very Special thanks to Lee Ann Michelle for making us look so good!

An odd bit of pinball related history, but what the heck!
