The Mighty Sam played a couple of chords: C, Fmaj7, over and over. "Do you know what this is?" he asked. "Listen," he said. "Think back to your first year of college."
I listened.
I listened some more.
Finally I said, "Take the skinheads bowling?"
The Mighty Sam laughed. It wasn't the song he was thinking of, but it was the same chords. "I'll stop the world and melt with you," he sang.
I laughed too.
The chords for the chorus of "Take the Skinheads Bowling" are G-F-C.
He said, "You know what other song uses those chords?" (meaning C-Fmaj7) He started playing, "Best of My Love" by the Eagles. He played it for a while, and then said, "And do you know what you do next?"
We both played and sang TAKE THE SKINHEADS BOWLING, TAKE THEM BOWLING!
