[Runswithscissors]

Dave does, ending with "God bless you southern california, you people are bad ass...and weve just begun....i think it starts...well, he starts in the dark then moves under spotlight...any help would be greatly appreciated

I believe it was called "Song For Argentina", somebody correct me if I'm wrong. I'd say Scott Roberts may have lyrics, possibly.

Scott?

It's called God Bless the Child by Billie Holiday. Here's the lyrics;

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
He just worry 'bout nothin'
Cause he's got his own

OOOOHHHHHHHHH ... OH ... Argentina ...Yeah yeah yeah e-yeah ...

I loved that intro to Ice Cream Man. A few years back I was fortunate enough to get a copy of both the US Fest and the Buenos Aires show on one tape. [img]graemlins/bounce.gif[/img]

I forget what show it was but there was one where Dave sings 'God Bless The Child' and he hits this one note really, really badly. I laugh everytime I hear it. On a better note, I loved it when VH does cover song because they really made them their own.

The title of this thread made me think......."So does Dave."

Yep, that was the US Fest. The "Song For Argentina" was from the Buenos Aires show.
