"Drive-In Saturday" is a song by David Bowie from his 1973 album Aladdin Sane. It was released as a single a week before the album and, like its predecessor "The Jean Genie", became a Top 3 UK hit. Music and lyricsHeavily influenced by 1950s doo-wop, "Drive-In Saturday" describes how the inhabitants of a post-apocalyptic world have forgotten how to reproduce, and need to watch old porn films to see how it's done. The narrative has been cited as an example of Bowie's "futuristic nostalgia", where the story is told from the perspective of an inhabitant of the future looking back in time.Its composition was inspired by strange lights amidst the barren landscape between Seattle, Washington, and Phoenix, Arizona, as seen from a train at night on Bowie's 1972 US tour. However in his 1972 tour narrative, Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star, Mott leader Ian Hunter appears utterly perplexed by the song's pop complexity when Bowie plays it to him, writing that it has "a hell of a chord rundown". Bowie claimed on VH1's Storytellers that his frustration with Mott the Hoople's rejection of the song led to his shaving of his eyebrows during the Ziggy Stardust tour, an alteration that remained evident in photographs as late as 1974. Bowie's version, recorded on his return to Britain from his US tour, was released in April 1973 and remained in the charts for 10 weeks, reaching #3 in the UK charts. The B-side, "Round and Round", was a cover of Chuck Berry's track "Around and Around", a leftover from the Ziggy Stardust sessions. Bowie encyclopedist Nicholas Pegg describes "Drive-In Saturday" as "arguably the finest track on Aladdin Sane", as well as "the great forgotten Bowie single", which he attributed to the fact that it was never issued on a greatest hits album until almost 20 years after its release. Biographer David Buckley has called "Drive-In Saturday" and "Rebel Rebel" Bowie's "finest glam-era singles".) # "Round and Round" (Chuck Berry) – 2:39 Production credits* Musicians: Live versions: Other releasesCover versionsNotesReferencesPegg, Nicholas, The Complete David Bowie, Reynolds & Hearn Ltd, 2000, ISBN 1-903111-14-5

David Bowie - Drive-In Saturday
Artist: David Bowie Song: Drive-In Saturday Album: Aladdin Sane Lyrics (uh uh aaah) Let me put my arms around your head (dom du aaah) Gee, it's hot, let's go to bed Don't forget to turn on the light Don't laugh babe, it'll be alright (dom du aaah) Pour me out another phone (dom du aaah) I'll ring and see if your friends are home Perhaps the strange ones in the dome Can lend us a book we can read up alone And try to get it on like once before When people stared in Jagger's eyes and scored Like the video films we saw His name was always Buddy (got got du aaah aah aah) And he'd shrug and ask to stay She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid (got got du aaah) And turn her face away She's uncertain if she likes him (got got du aaah aah aah) But she knows she really loves him It's a crash course for the ravers (got got du aaah) It's a Drive-in Saturday Jung the foreman prayed at work (dom du aaah) Neither hands nor limbs would burst It's hard enough to keep formation with this fall out saturation (bah dom bah) Cursing at the Astronette (dom du aaah) Who stands in steel by his cabinet He's crashing out with Sylvian The Bureau Supply for ageing men With snorting head he gazes to the shore Once had raged a sea that raged no more Like the video films we saw His name was always Buddy (got got du aaah aah aah) And he'd shrug and ask to stay She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid (got got du aaah) And turn her face away She's uncertain if she likes him (got got du aaah aah aah) But she knows <b>...</b>

The 10 minute intermission clock which was filmed at the "Blue Screen" of the Miracle Twin Drive-in Theater on Saturday, June 11, 2005, which is located in the Flint area of Michigan on G-6383 E. Court St. Burton, MI 48509, near the I-69 and Belsay Road exit. The Miracle Twin Drive-In has been closed as of the end of the 2008 season. This is my tribute to the workers who kept it going since it opened on 2/15/73 and is also a fond remembrance of our good times seeing movies at the Miracle Twin. RIP Miracle Twin. You will be missed by Michigan Drive-In Theater fans. :( For those in the Flint, MI area and any Michigan drive-in fans in general, please attend movies at the US-23 Drive-In Theater in nearby Mundy Township, MI as much as possible during April through September of 2009, as it will be their last season, unless a buyer is found.
Joshua Kadison - Cherry Bowl Drive In
song performed by Joshua Kadison (album: Saturday Night in Storyville) Lyrics: Saw her at the Texaco just the other day. Even more beautiful, her hair had a touch of grey. We both stood and stared at each other, couldn't say a word. Then I said "God, it's good to see you." And she said "Well, have you heard... "They're tearin' down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tommorow Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair. She's goin' the way all things must go someday but I will still remember you there. Yes, I will. Yes, I will. I will still remember you there." Then I said, "Little Melissa, she's lookin' more and more like you. Saw her down on Maple Street, she's even got your same smile, too. And my Jake Jr. says 'Daddy, someday I'm gonna marry that girl.' Isn't that just perfect? Such a crazy world. "So, they're tearin' down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tommorow? Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair. She's goin' the way all things must go someday but I will still remember you there. Yes, I will. Yes, I will. I will still remember you there. "Hey, can you get away tommorow? If you can't, I understand It's just that when the big screen falls I'd like to be holdin' your hand, holdin' your hand "when they're tearin' down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tommorow. Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair. She's goin' the way all things must go someday but I will still remember you there. Yes, I will. Yes, I will. I will still remember <b>...</b>

Saturday Night By The Misfits w/ Lyrics
If you don't like the Misfits than you can't like rock =] (punk is a SUB-GENRE of rock, so yes, it is rock) Lyrics: There's 52 ways to murder anyone. One and two are the same, and they both work as well. I'm coming clean for Amy. Julie doesn't scream as well, and the cops won't listen all night. So maybe, I'll be over. Just as soon as I fill them all in and I can remember when I saw her last. We were running all around and having a blast. But the back seat of the drive-in is so lonely without you. I know when your home, I was thinking about you. There was something I forgot to say, I was crying on saturday night. I was out cruising without you, they were playing our song. Crying on saturday night. As the moon becomes the night time You go viciously, quietly, away. I'm sitting in the bedroom, where we usedto sit and smoke cigarettes Now I'm watching, watching you die I can remember when I saw her last. We were running all around and having a blast. But the back seat of the drive-in is so lonely without you. I know when your home, I was thinking about you. There was something I forgot to say, I was crying on Saturday night. I was out cruising without you, they were playing our song. Crying on Saturday night. Crying on Saturday night Crying on Saturday night
