#452. You Got That Wheeling Feeling

Whose heart is not overcome with romantic joy when Tom Cruise serenades Kelly McGilless?


I'd like to see a 2021 reenactment of that special scene.  Of course Tom Cruise still looks the same.  But...

 

 

From an aerial perspective, Wheeling Island looks kinda spermish.  And let it be known that I have witnessed the sophisticated mating rituals of many an Island Rat... up close and personal.  Usually involves a tepid can of Busch Light draft on a hot Saturday night.  

 


 

You Got That Wheeling Feeling

You order Coleman’s fish every time with your bread separate
And Elm Grove DiCarlo’s with extra cheese is so delish
You're cruising through classic Hardee’s
But Arby’s, Arby’s roast beef me

You got that Wheeling Feeling
Whoa, that Wheeling Feeling
You got that Wheeling Feeling
Now it's on, on, on, whoa-oh

Now if you want Chinese there’s a golden and silver too
And if you’re driving through Oglebay is the park for you
But if you want to start frying
'Cause Angie’s, 19th Hole has no drive in

You got that Wheeling Feeling
Whoa, that Wheeling Feeling
You got that Wheeling Feeling
Now it's on, on, on, whoa-oh

Moondog, Moondog, I’d take Pig Path shortcut with you
If Ye Olde Alpha served me Greek wings ranch or blue, yeah
We have a race, a race, a race you should run in late May
Just don't, don't, don't, don't Nutting it away

OV, MC, OV, MC
I beg you please, please, please, please  
They need your blood, need your blood
They need your blood, They need your blood
And Chicken Neck’s wack, and Chicken Neck’s wack
Chicken Neck’s wack, Chicken Neck’s wack

Bring back that Wheeling Feeling
Whoa, that Wheeling Feeling
Bring back that Wheeling Feeling
'Cause it's on, on, on
And it’s never gone, whoa-oh

Bring back that Wheeling Feeling
Whoa, that Wheeling Feeling
Bring back that Wheeling Feeling
'Cause it's on, on, on


You Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’
Righteous Brothers

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it
But baby, baby I know it

You lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa-oh

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're starting to criticize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dyin'

You lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa-oh

Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away

Baby, baby, baby, baby
I beg you please, please, please, please
I need your love, need your love
I need your love, I need your love
So bring it on back, so bring it on back
Bring it on back, bring it on back

Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
'Cause it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, whoa-oh

Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
'Cause it's gone, gone, gone



The Righteous Brothers played Pittsburgh only once.  Back in 1967 at the Civic Arena.  At the time, I was negative 3 years old and have zero recollection.

If anyone out there is interested in purchasing the highly coveted WheelingFeeling.com domain name, drop me a line.  I know the guy who owns it.
