| Lindsey Buckingham – Johnny Stew Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| Clearly an homage to John Stewart of the Kingston Trio. Buckingham has credited Stewart for his fingerpicking style, which he claimed to have learned from Stewart’s banjo playing. Also, Buckingham produced several of Stewart’s solo albums including 1979’s Bombs Away Dream Babies which included the Top Ten single, Gold. Stewart later recorded his own tribute to the Fleetwood Mac guitarist, “Liddy Buck.” And the lyric “it takes a worried man to sing a worried song” is lifted directly from one of the Trio’s biggest hits. | |

“Que pe chesa” is similar to “Que péchesa” a Portuguese phrase which means (per Google translate) “what a mess.” The group had recently hired percussionist Laudir de Oliveira, whose playing was prominently featured in the track and whose first language was Portuguese. The published music does not contain lyrics, and it’s possible the vocal was an inside joke from the band, known for its attitude of perfectionism toward its music. |

| Chicago – Flight 602 Lyrics | 11 years ago |

"... be thinking of B-3s and Leslie's going round" This is a reference by keyboardist Lamm to some of his stage gear. Hammond B-3 electric organs were very common among rock bands in the early 1970s, and Leslie cabinets were a popular accessory for rotating multiple organ speakers on a vertical axis to produce a vibrato at varying speeds. |
