Steve Miller Band ~ Jungle Love You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Heard this song a ton on classic rock radio growing up Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

A friend of mine met the guy who wrote this song last year in San Diego. The guy makes so much from this song that he doesn't have to do much else except surf!
This is a great song. I'd have loved to been in the room when all the guitar riffs were being worked out. | |

One of my favorite Steve Miller tracks. "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

That's a point I'd like to explore further. I know absolutely nothing about publishing and song-writing credit and royalites, other than these anecdotes.
Is publishing/song writing where the real money is? You hear artists like Prince say that record companies screw artists all the time, but Prince is also known the for the line, "Sell my publishing? What a laugh. I might not know Bo but I do know math!"
Do artists forget to tie those up when they sign their first deal? Or what? | |

I love this one. I remember hearing it in the 1970s but I never heard it again until years later when it was once the theme song for "Everybody Loves Raymond" so I always think of Raymond every time I hear it nowadays. Andy is a four letter word. | |

You don't think Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson were buying song catalogs for nothing, do you?

That's why Colonel Parker had it set up that if Elvis was to record a song, half of the publishing went to him, or he got a writing credit. Elvis didn't always like this deal, because he couldn't record certain songs if the songwriter refused (ie. Dolly Parton), as Parker wouldn't allow Elvis to.theAudience said:
