"margarita" song - help us figure this out

Not Buffett, but
"Margarita...(bassline that is similar to the one in "How Bizzare")...
"Have you seen her"

A white american band in the 70's probably.

We're dying here...

Please help! :)

dressed in white..she's a senorita...

From the 42nd street album..the song I think is Rosalinda's Eyes

but much appreciation! :)

Can't remember the original band that did it but it was recently covered by Brooks and Dunn

Yes! That's it!

Thanks soooo much.

Off to winmx to download it now...:)

What can I do for you?


(I started to type "holy crap, that's it" and "Holy crap, I just tried to light my beer" was in my IE cache and I thought it was funny, so I left it)

Thanks a lot for the psychological empathy you used to figure out what the heck I was trying to figure out!

Appreciation + 1

:)

It's by a UK band called Pintsize. I don't know if they wrote it or if they covered it.


Margarita
---------

First one to speak I didn't get a reply
But when I looked her in the face I should have looked her in the eye
I told her that I hated her and thought that she was sucky
But I really really wanted her but I should be so lucky

I cried myself to sleep
I really wanted her
I got down on my knees
Right in front of her

Hangin' around I see you everywhere
Standing at the bus stop fiddling with your hair
You turn you face the other way I really don't care
Dressed in stupid clothes, you got nothing to wear

Margarita, Margarita, I wanna piece of Margarita
Margarita, Margarita, I know I shouldn't but, have ya seen her?

Thought about what she said it f*cking filled me with sadness
So I went to my room and skanked down to Madness
I went to sleep crying but I woke up feeling fine
'Cos I knew that two-faced towny bitch would never be mine

Roaming around for a couple of days
I didn't see or speak to no-one I kept outta the way
I met her in the marketplace the very next day
I didn't even give a shit what she had to say

Now it's reached the point where I really don't care
I don't wanna sound bitter but you never were fair
I'll forget about you in my mind you are dismissed
In 15 years you'll look back and yer gonna be p*ssed

Margarita, Margarita, I don't wanna piece of Margarita
Margarita, Margarita, the guy who's got you now well he can keep ya.

that appears to be a cool song. :)

are the notes to the "Margarita" portion of the lyrics.

(i may or may not have perfect pitch, but relatively those'r the notes)

Originally by George Harrison ... later covered by The Traveling Wilburys


Margarita
----------


It was in Pittsburgh, late one night
I lost my hat, got into a fight
I rolled and tumbled, till I saw the light
Went to the big apple, took a bite

Still the sun went down your way
Down from the blue into the gray
Where I stood I saw you walk away
You danced away

I asked her what we're gonna do tonight
She said "Cahuenga Langa-Langa-Shoe Box Soup"
We better keep tryin' till we get it right
Tala mala sheela jaipur dhoop

She wrote a long letter on a short piece of paper
Oh margarita don't stay away too long
Come on home
Oh margarita don't say you will when you won't
Margarita

Thanks for the effort though.:)

Sorry I couldn't help. :-)

Thanks for the communication :)

see ya

:smoke:

I have a huge bookmark file of music sites and I happened to remember a page that had songs from a band that sounded like Jimmy Buffett. There was a song about a "Rita" but it wasn't a "Margarita". Anyway, I just looked through my bookmarks and I found the site. They have an mp3 of the song and it does have a cool bassline, so maybe ...

This is a real long shot, but what the hell - it's worth a try. :)

Have You Seen Your Rita?
------------------------


Rita came from Northern Spain, a Barcelona gal
She lived for fun, she lived for games, yes, Rita loved the "now"
Her daddy moved the family brood, to Florida one day
Hoping to begin anew, in Southern F-L-A
She’d hang out at the local mall, when she got out of school
And when her boyfriends came to call, Rita called them fools

So have you seen your Rita, have you seen your girl?
A lovely mamacita, from halfway ‘round the world
Having fun, with everyone, she likes to dance and whirl
So have you seen your Rita, have you seen your girl?

Rita claims, there is a flame, that she’s devoted to
Jason is the young man’s name, he’s thrown a pass or two
A football star who drives a car, a poor boy can’t afford
But he became a "Hurricane" and he knows how to score
He didn’t see through her disguise, till she had reeled him in
And now he found, to his surprise, she’s run off again

Have you seen your Rita, have you seen your girl?
A lovely mamacita, from halfway ‘round the world
Having fun, with everyone, she likes to dance and whirl
So have you seen your Rita, have you seen your girl?

She’s moved on to bigger things, she makes the Dolphins cry
She’s got her eye on J.J.’s "Rings", so Hootie dry your eyes

Have you seen your Rita, have you seen your girl?
A lovely mamacita, from halfway ‘round the world
Having fun, with everyone, she likes to dance and whirl
So have you seen your Rita, have you seen your girl?
