Need Help With Lyrics To A Righteous Brothers Song, Please?
In the early 1970's The Righteous Brothers recorded a song called Rock And Roll Heaven. In the mid to late 1990's they did another, updated version of this wonderful song. Same sweet melody but with Roy Orbison, Ricky Nelson, Jerry Garcia, Freddy Mercury & Kurt Cobain to name a few. Could you please help me find the lyrics and the link to those lyrics? It was lovely as the first and I once had the CD single which has been stolen. I can't find it or the lyrics anywhere. Thank you for your help.

OMG I've been looking all over trying to hear this song (I had it on my laptop before it crashed), and for the lyrics. Can't find that version anywhere, but I remember a few lines (not neccesarily in this order)
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band
Elvis loved us tender
John cried give peace a chance
And Roy introduced us to his Pretty Woman
Jackie took us higher
Ricky walked us down to Lonesome Town
Dennis gave us Good Vibrations
Marvin sang brother, brother
Mama sang Monday Monday
Stevie Ray Vaughan was on his way
I wish I could be more of a help. I am almost 100% positive Cobain isn't mentioned in it (& that the song was re-released in '91 or '92). This is the cd with that version http://www.amazon.com/Reunion-Righteous-Brothers/d...

Hi! I can't find anything that mentions most of the artists that you have listed; all that I found is that "Rock and Roll Heaven" was originally recorded in 1974, then again in 1991 to include Elvis, Marvin Gaye, Jackie Wilson, Dennis Wilson, John Lennon, and several others. However, I can only find two versions of the song: the original, and one that references Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Jim Morrison, John Lennon, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Ray Charles. The second song can be found here: http://alanoday.com/ -- there's a link on the left where you can dl and listen to the song, but I'm not sure it's the version you're looking for...I'm sorry that's all I could find. :-(

Jimmy gave us rainbows
Janis took the piece of our heart (?)
And Otis…(something I couldn’t understand)
Sing a song to light my fire
Remember Jim that way
And they found another place, another place to pray (?)

Remember that bad leroy brown
Hey jimmy touched us with that song
Time wont change the way we came to know
And bobby gave us Mack the knife
Look out he’s back in town
We’ll all be there together
When they meet in one big show
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band
There’s a spotlight waiting
No matter who you are
Cause everybody’s got a song to sing
Everyone’s a star (Everybody’s got to be a star)
Chorus repeats
Source(s): that's all i could get from the song on youtube, some verses are hard to understand :) - tsengLv 45 years ago
Punk Rock one zero one by way of Bowling for Soup references Living on a Prayer by way of Bon Jovi by way of making use of the names Tommy and Gina :) Also, Glass Onion by way of the Beatles references plenty in their different songs - I am the Walrus, Fixing a Hole, Obladi Oblida, and many others...
