Tubes - Tip Of My Tongue (with Lyrics)

No particular comments or reasons for this one - I just like the song...

[@shawnreese6538]

Ladies and Gentlemen! We're the Tubes!!! Best band I've ever had the fortune to witness in my life. Three times. Different each time. Blow away each time. You really define generations of music!

[@harryprater9014]

The imagination...the musicianship...the talent...WOW !!....One of the best Bands in history.....soooooo under-rated ...!!!

[@FelixTheCat24x7]

The late Maurice White from EWF helped them put this together. That's why it sounds like EWF.

[@sirisongbird]

One of the last truly SMOKIN bands! As a FUNK CONNOISSEUR I highly recommend this in your top 20 collection

[@ernestogasulla7763]

It would not make my top 100...

[@JacoZawinul]

Agree.

[@Diomede-Lefort]

The 80's mix is sometimes difficult to hear today, but the set-up, Wouch! With Chuck Findley conducting brass!

[@bradleylowden558]

Sometimes when I listen to Tubes, I’m convinced they were the best band ever.

[@Amyzgr8r]

I'd forgotten just how good this song was. I remember reading about how clever the lyrics were in Rolling Stone when I was just a pup. "Never been too cunning and I'm no linguist." Brilliant!!!

[@DeeJayRoyalT2]

I was in the Marines and me and my buddy used to lift weights to this tape. I remember saying "Damn this song sounds like Earth Wind and Fire". It was later that I found out why...because Maurice White was involved. :)

[@michaelware1649]

Medical exam... are your toes not tapping, body's not moving while this is playing? You're DEAD! LOL!

[@luvspaiste]

Of course you like this song...because it's awesome. Prairie Prince is so underrated.

[@timothycharlesellis5940]

If Prairie recorded this, he definitely killed it!

[@DS-ss7vl]

That Bass line. Excellent.

[@daniellavaladez9538]

Underrated, so underrated!

[@michaelackerman3823]

2:34, pure horn heaven....this is off the chain!!!

[@drstephenwoods]

My favorite Tubes song

[@michaelackerman3823]

LOVE THIS!!!! Horn's funk, and Maurice White, what more do you need???

[@NoCanDu]

Amen!

[@TrishBell1]

Liked it on the first note! Maurice White adding his touch makes it!

[@JC-ev9dy]

They tried to keep the lyrics from Maurice cuz he was very religious this was told by Fee

[@mrbertiep1]

Killer tune with a nod to Earth Wind and Fire.

[@J4B7]

A tighter band you'll never hear!

[@Jaybone1167]

J4B7 I have seen them live a bunch of times.....they are fantastic

[@albertibass8835]

Prairie Prince nailing it.

[@61guitbox]

underrated drummer

[@shawnreese6538]

Fee and Tubulars, you are just so brilliant!

[@longfade]

God damn they were on their game HARD.

[@quintinwilson7106]

Well said real live horn sections coupled with a bassline and study drum kick/snare snappIng the words of the late great James Brown saying "Take it the Bridge".@

[@AceAlive2]

It sounds like Maurice White just threw them a demo and said "record it just like this"

[@thesaxguy6125]

IMHO, Jerry Hey's best horn arrangement ever.

[@Ifyouonlyknewtruth]

That’s Earth Wind & Find. , Horns

[@michaelackerman3823]

@@Ifyouonlyknewtruth , Gary Grant, Jerry Hey, Chuck Findley trumpets. They did record many of the EW&F albums but not the cats that were out on the road with EW&F. Not trying to prove any point other than Gary, Jerry and Chuck are some of the BADDEST HORN PLAYERS EVER!!!!!

[@KRxN11]

On the Recording, This Is Preceded by Wild Women Of Wong-Part 1. This is Part 2. Thanks To Maurice White of Earth Wind & Fire.

[@davidwelsford3189]

...and THAT has the sickest staccato horn break I’ve ever heard on a pop album, maybe on any album. Amazing

[@61guitbox]

[@michaelackerman3823]

2:35 one of the funkiest horn sections and groove ever played!

[@anonfrank546]

[@LambLiesDownOnBroadway]

Has a Prince & Earth Wind And Fire feel to it. :)

[@strivingx67]

That Bridge is so damn Good! F me! So good!

[@sonjaevans3858]

Was 12 when this came out. I had NO idea what this song really meant lol

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Oh? What does it really mean?

[@JC-ev9dy]

Back in the record days I left 2 gifts for my new girl.she didn't know who Paddington bear was fine but when she didn't like love bomb album That's when I bounced!

[@onekick751]

....I can't find the words. My lips are on their own, And my speech is slurred... Can't even talk on the telephone. I'll take a tip from you. You say my french is pretty good, So that's what I'll use...

[@synthonaplinth5980]

[@jacksoncarter704]

I spent like 15 minuets trying to remember the name of this song before I realized the irony

[@sirisongbird]

HORNY HORNS! Bless ya fee waybill

[@sherrydee7880]

[@mikereiss4216]

The Tubes go EW&F.

[@michaelrandall9034]

Another killer horn part…

[@iluvinnovativemusic9072]

@exquemeling...I been grooving to this song since late1983.I played this in my old neighborhood and they think it is EWF LOL....Although Maurice White had a hand in this tune I do believe

[@nibirumyself1]

Absolutely! Funky stuff right there! I'll be seeing them perform tomorrow night here in the Bay Area!

[@ondrauscissell6952]

Maurice White: backing vocal

[@danielburns987]

this song only went to #52 on the pop charts in 1983!!!

[@leonmccormick2909]

Hot damn I love it!!!!!!

[@wildnites558]

[@skelagervej423]

[@susannahwarren4951]

It’s ‘the words flit on the tip of my tongue’. It’s also ‘a witch is really good’.
