Push play and listen now to "Drive-In Show"

"Drive in Show" by  Eddie Cochran
 
Come on, baby, to a drive-in show
I know just the very place to go
I'll be over, pick you up at 8
This will be our very first date

When we're parkin' in the drive-in show
We'll be sittin' in the moonlight row
I'll bet my peanuts to a candy bar
You'll be cuter than a movie star

When it's over and we're headin' back
We'll stop in for just a little snack
Six hot dogs oughtta be just right
After such a wonderful night

"Old Days" by Chicago 1975:
 
Old days
Good times I remember
Fun days
Filled with simple pleasures
Drive-in movies
Comic books and blue jeans
Howdy Doody
Baseball cards and birthdays
Take me back
To a world gone away
Memories
Seem like yesterday

Old days
Good times I remember
Gold days
Days I'll always treasure
Funny faces
Full of love and laughter
Funny places
Summer nights and streetcars
Take me back
To a world gone away
Boyhood memories
Seem like yesterday

Old days - in my mind and in my heart to stay
Old days - darkened dreams of good times gone away
Old days - days of love and feeling fancy free
Old days - days of magic still so close to me
Old days - in my mind and in my heart to stay
Old days - darkened dreams of good times gone away
Old days - days of love and feeling fancy free
Old days - days of magic still so close to me

 
 

"Drive-in" by The Beach Boys
 
"Ooo wah
Ooo wah
Every time I have a date there's only one place to go
That's to the drive in
It's such a groovy place to talk and maybe watch a show
Down at the drive in
Forget about the plot, it'll do very well
But make sure you see enough so you're prepared to tell
About the drive in
(Ooo wah)
I love the drive in
(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)
If the windows get fogged you'll have to take a breath
(Oooooooo waah oooo)
Down at the drive in
(Wah wah ooooooo)
Or the cat dressed in white will scare you both to death
Down at the drive in
A big buttered popcorn and an extra large coke
A few chili dogs and man I'm goin' broke
Down at the drive in
(Ooo wah)
Yeah at the drive in
(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)
Don't sneak your buddies in the trunk 'cause they might get caught
By the drive in
(Wah wah wah ooooooo)
And they'd look kinda stupid gettin' chased through the lot
(Wah ooooooo)
Around the drive in
If you say you watch the movie you're a couple o' liars
And "Remember only you can prevent forest fires"
Down at the drive in
(Ooo wah)
I love the drive in
(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)
Down at the drive in
(Ooo wah)
I love the drive in
(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)
Down at the drive in
(Ooo wah)
I love the drive in
(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)"

"Your Mama Don't Dance" by  Loggins and Messina 1972

Your momma don't dance and your daddy don't Rock and Roll
Your momma don't dance and your daddy don't Rock and Roll
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go - To Rock and Roll

The old folks say that ya gotta end your date by ten
If you're out on a date and you bring her home late,it's a sin
There just ain't no excuse and you know you're gonna lose you never win
I'll say it again

And it's all because
Your momma don't dance and your daddy don't Rock and Roll
Your momma don't dance and your daddy don't Rock and Roll
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go - To Rock and Roll

You've pulled into a drive-in and found a place to park
You hop into the backseat where ya know it's nice and dark
You're just about to move in, you're thinking it's a breeze
There's a light in my eye and a guy says
Out of the car long hair
Oowee - You're coming with me - local police

And it's all because
Your momma don't dance and your daddy don't Rock and Roll
Your momma don't dance and your daddy don't Rock and Roll
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go - To Rock and Roll
Where do you go - To Rock and roll
Where do you go - To Rock and roll

"Movies Is Magic" by Brian Wilson 1995
 
She slid on her dress under that melancholy moon
Somethin' to impress him hopin' he would be there soon
She gonna run away
He got a Chevrolet
She wanted Nat King Cole
He got a Jelly Roll
Whole lotta heart and soul
Saphron(?) and a river rat are rappin' at her door
Take her to a picture show she sure ain't seen before
She was a debutant
Give it just what she want
You tell her just where to go
Down to the drive in show
You be my riverboat

Movies is magic
Real life is tragic
Fundamental though it seems
When you're livin' in your dream
And you wake up it's over
Movies is magic
Real life is tragic
I regret I gotta say
It is time we get away
To the movies and magic

Cowboy dressed like injun popped right off that silver screen
Scarlet up like a jukebox for a dreamboat Delta Queen
Raindroppin' all around
Put up the top you clown
And turn on the Nat King Cole
Off with the rock and roll
To the movies and magic

Movies is (movies is) magic (magic)

Movies is magic
Real life is tragic
And as time goes by and by
You will often wonder why
To the day that you die
'Cause movies is magic
Movies is magic
