boxingclever Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Does anybody know what Eric says in "Great Expectations" after the little tap dancing numbers as it's going back into the song? It sounds like he says "Oh, you sound like a real...????". Just curious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpat Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 You know, I asked him that on here a few years ago and I can't for the life of me remember what he said. It was something to do with a WC Fields quote, I think, something like "little angels", maybe? I always thought he said "boy, you sound like Lou Reed" LOLBernie will know, or at least, know where to find the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeVelvet Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Welcome boxingclever! I remember when blackhawkpat asked Eric that question. I can't remember the answer either, although "little angels" does sound familiar. I spent about an hour tonight looking through Eric's past posts trying to find it. No luck yet, but there are thousands of Eric's posts to go through. Entertaining reading, if you are bored and looking for something to do. Meanwhile, I'll continue to look for it.Again, welcome to a very loving and a tad nutty "family"!Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Here you go:I was kind of going for W.C. Fields. "Aww, you sound like little angels...." I think Jimmy told me to say that.That line WAS about "Hit Record" and the little harmonica break was something my Mom used to play on the piano.I think the lyric in the bridge was inspired, if I do say so myself. It was Forrest Gump's philosophy, before Forrest Gump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelina Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I'm amazed Eric could say anything during that song with all the tap dancing he did during the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marathon mama Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 This thread brings back memories! I love this song!! So well-written, words and music, perfectly placed sound effects. I found a youtube clip to share the experience with those who may be new to his music: P.S. I don't get how the pictures in the slideshow of this video fit with the song, however.

Tony Cartmill Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Has there ever been an album released with MORE variety of songs than EC's 1975 masterpiece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The first Eric Carmen album is a melodic masterpiece. If you rate an album based on melody quality, Eric's first album is probably the best (for me) off alltime. That's no exaggeration. Eric Carmen is so underrated."MainCourse" is also a melodic masterpiece (it's also the best of alltime!..)..:-)"Don't Shoot Me" is up there too for great melodies. It's wall to wall great.James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
