My Tribute to Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders

[TheProsecutor]

Who is a Chrissie Hynde fan? Love that low sexy voice that sometimes gets a little high. She and the music she has made as the lead singer of The Pretenders has staying power. Really hard to go a week without still hearing one of their songs coming on a station that plays a wide range of music.

She is also the only member from the original group.

Any Chrissie Hynde and Pretenders fans out there?

Here is one of Chrissie's hits. I really like this song's message. Always nice to have a good woman standing by you.

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes,
Come on and come to me now.
Don't be ashamed to cry,
Let me see you through,
Cause I've seen the dark side too.
And when the night falls on you,
And you don't know what to do,
Nothing you confess could
make me love you less

I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you,
Won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.

So, if you're mad get mad,
Don't hold it all inside,
Come on and talk to me now.
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you,
When you're standing at
the crossroads,
don't know which path to choose,
Let me come along, cause
even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you,
Won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.

Take me in into your darkest hour,
and I'll never desert you.
I'll stand by you.

And when, when the night
falls on you baby,
You're feeling all alone,
You won't be on your own,
I'll stand by you.

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you,
Won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour,
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you.

YES, I am a Pretender's fan - when I saw that title my first thought was
that she had passed away, TP, stop scaring me!

Her songs bring back a lot of memories for me, think my favourite is 'KID'.

I liked the bit in the movie School Of Rock with the school principal being a huge Chrissy Hynde fan, and talking about it over beers with Jack Black's character.

edit--->sorry, I was thinking of Stevie Nicks:o

Check out rocker chick Chrissie from this old live vid of her rockin' on the guitar doin' Louie Louie. Love her energy.

Louie Louie

Shh...here they come
Now louie louie had his day
Nothin’ gonna change it now
The rats and snakes will never fade away
Not while I’m alive
Hey! hey! hey! hey!
There come the cossacks
The road spiders
The super gliders
Burnin’ trash, flickin’ class, all the white trash
Yeah!
Hey! hey! hey! hey!

Now louie louie had his time
Seemed like only yesterday
Sandy and harry got married and moved away
’cause they had nothin’ left to say
Yeah!
You with the glasses, I’ll see you later
We’ll find love I know
Rockin’, reelin’, double dealin’, one more time this time with feelin’
Yeah!
Hey! hey! hey! hey!
Go boys, yeah!

You move so fine
Yeah what a scene I said
Mmm, kinda aquiline
Yeah baby saw through this now
You smell so good
Yeah, and your shirt’s always pressed
You’ll be the best inside my baby
Yeah, we’re all under arrest now!

Louie louie made his mark
On this tender heart of mine
The jamaican moon don’t let it get dark
Though we rock out in the night time

Yeah! let’s get on outta here now, let’s go!
