From the early 70's, maybe late 60's (probably late 60's). The song DOA...what a great song...today is the day to remember such things...lol I actualy have it on tape. They did some good songs besides that, but when I was a kid they wouldn't play DOA on mainstream stations.

A song about people in a car accident dying on the way to the hospital...really great lyrics to get the message across. "I try to move my arm but there's no feeling and when I look I see there's nothing there." and "The sheets all red and moist where I'm lying, God in heaven teach me how to die".

does it start "It was the day I lost my arm"

If so, it is very good and very funny.

If not, sorry I dont remember them

good grief, I vaguely remember that. I was 14-15 yrs old and we thought it was cool..don't believe I've heard it since that time.

We were flying low... and hit something in the air.
I remember.......

As I recall it was a plane crash, but you are correct about dying on the way to the hospital. Must be Halloween that brings this stuff up?

I guess you're right I always thought it was we were flying along...but as you see you are in fact correct

I remember
We were flying low
And hit something in the air

Laying here, looking at the ceiling
Someone lays a sheet across my chest
Something warm is flowing down my fingers
Pain is flowing all thru my back

I try to move my arm and there's no feeling
And when I look I see there's nothing there
The face beside me stopped its holy bleeding
The girl I knew has such a distant stare

I remember
We were flying low
And hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying low
And hit something in the air

Then I looked straight at the attendant
His face is pale as it can be
He bends and whispers something softly
He says there's no chance for me

I remember
We were flying low
And hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying low
And hit something in the air

Life is flowing out my body
Pain is flowing out with my blood
The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying
God in Heaven, teach me how to die

I remember
We were flying low
And hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying low
And hit something in the air

Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh

The song came out shortly after the Wichita State football team crashed on its way to a game at Utah State, on 10/2/1970. Those of us in the vicinity all assumed the song followed from the crash.

I had succeeded in forgetting all about the song and group. Thank you so VERY much for reminding me.

DOA: I loved that song. Here in Calgary back in 1970 on Sunday nights on CKXL AM radio was a show called Tompkins Park and the host, Tom Tompkins, played DOA almost every week.

I have a very poor live cassette tape of Bloodrock. They were a good band out of Dallas and I played a few of their songs in bands back in the '70's. Old memories for Halloween.

Shit, I totaly forgot about them. Fantastic Piece Of Architecture was a pretty good track, too. Great stuff.

You guys made me pull out my 'Live At The Chicago Ampu-theater' too have a look at these hippies again.

Man, each side only has two songs on it!

Kool Aid Kids and D.O.A. - Castle of Thoughts, now there's a shorty for AM play! Cheater... Man, I think I only heard this album once?
More of a Tubes man myself.

I remember them. They were a local band where I was from. They used to play parties and small clubs in Denton when I lived there. I have a friend who knew them personally, has autographed pix, records, and a couple of letters from Nick Taylor.

It surprises me a lot that anyone has ever heard of this band, but then, they were grunge 20 years ahead of their time, and that DOA song had a bit of a run in rotation I guess.

Does personally remembering the '60s make me an old fart around here?

All I know is that Warren Ham was in the band. He later surfaced with Kerry Livgren's band AD. He's one of the most creative, versatile and fun vocalists I've ever heard and his a mighty fine flute and sax player as well.

Who remembers Bloodrock?
