It is to laugh - Music Toons Part 1

One of my passions is Music. For those of you who are musicians or simply love music, I hope you enjoy these. Some of the phrasing on some toons refers to lyrics from songs. Identifying them is interesting,
The last image is a fantastic job done by "Uncle Joe" of interspersed single line lyrics of songs from the 50s to the 80s. Many younger folk may not know a lot of the ones referenced. They are worth finding out.

They said Southern California because they were in San Diego, wonder if they changed location
for every place they "rock & rolled" at? See the reflection of the flat bed Ford?


Eagles – Take It Easy Lyrics
from album: Eagles (1972)

Well, I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me
Two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy
Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy

Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy

Well, I'm a standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my lord
In a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on, baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me

We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in
And take it easy

Well I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover
Who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find

Take it easy
Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Make you crazy

Come on baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me

Oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

a guy I was working with at the time in scientfic and laser optics who was the head lighting man for Genesis and helped the Eagles at times said they were going to try to do that but decided there might be too much "favoritism" that could cause fans in other places where they DIDN'T use that location to be upset. So as another group once said, "The song remain(ed) the Same!" live from then on...supposedly!
