Throng of Blowtown Lyrics

Bring out the Bushmills and bring on the band
Tonight we'll dance and swing
I'll sing you softly my dear take my hand
And we'll toast to proposals and flings
Bring out the jester and shoot out the lights
Rattle your diamonds and pearls
There's swill for the swine and pills for the mind
More rhythm and booze for the girls

And those were the days when it all made sense
An awesome and glorious hoedown
54 studio discotheques
To welcome in the throng of Blowtown
Welcome to the throng of Blowtown

When Sonny gets dumped he'll see red for awhile
He's not the kind to get yellow
Tonight tonight the Billys will fight
Over copyright laws but stay mellow

And a typical day you can hear someone say
We need the groove to improve
So go find Carol Kaye
But she can't be found she's gone underground
In a carpal tunnel freezeout she's retirement bound

And those were the days when it all made sense
An awesome and glorious hoedown
54 studio discotheques to welcome the throng of Blowtown
Welcome in the throng of Blowtown
Ain't nothing like Motown
The throng of Blowtown

That Kind of Girl

Bring out the Bushmills and bring on the band
Tonight we'll dance and swing
I'll sing you softly my dear take my hand
And we'll toast to proposals and flings
Bring out the jester and shoot out the lights
Rattle your diamonds and pearls
There's swill for the swine and pills for the mind
More rhythm and booze for the girls

And those were the days when it all made sense
An awesome and glorious hoedown
54 studio discotheques
To welcome in the throng of Blowtown
Welcome to the throng of Blowtown

When Sonny gets dumped he'll see red for awhile
He's not the kind to get yellow
Tonight tonight the Billys will fight
Over copyright laws but stay mellow

And a typical day you can hear someone say
We need the groove to improve
So go find Carol Kaye
But she can't be found she's gone underground
In a carpal tunnel freezeout she's retirement bound

And those were the days when it all made sense
An awesome and glorious hoedown
54 studio discotheques to welcome the throng of Blowtown
Welcome in the throng of Blowtown
Ain't nothing like Motown
The throng of Blowtown

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
