Description: Here is my instrumental version of "More Like the Movies" by Dr. Hook. I am playing it on my 50's Series Fender Stratocaster through my Korg AX3000G. I hope you like it. Dave p.s. I always recommend earphones; preferably earbuds, for a clear sound. Don't forget to Subscribe and click the Bell. I think the backing track was found here (But I may have changed the key.)... youtube.com/watch?v=FbITC0YQF28 My channel ... youtube.com/OldGuitarMonkey My Website ... davidmonk.me.uk My Facebook page ... facebook.com/david.monk.79 The Song "More Like the Movies" was recorded by Dr. Hook in 1978 and included on their album "A Little Bit More" Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show (shortened to Dr. Hook in 1975) was an American rock band, formed in Union City, New Jersey. They enjoyed considerable commercial success in the 1970s with hit singles including "Sylvia's Mother", "The Cover of 'Rolling Stone'" (both 1972), "Only Sixteen" (1975), "A Little Bit More" (1976), "Sharing the Night Together" (1978), "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" (1979), "Better Love Next Time" (1979), and "Sexy Eyes" (1980). In addition to their own material, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show performed songs written by the poet Shel Silverstein. The band had eight years of regular chart hits in the United States, where their music was played on top-40, easy listening, and country music outlets, and throughout the English-speaking world including the UK, Canada and South Africa. Their music spanned several genres, mostly novelty songs and acoustic ballads in their early years, though their greatest success came with their later material, mostly consisting of disco-influenced soft rock, which the band recorded under the shortened name Dr. Hook. Lyrics I guess the dance is over now So you just courtsey and I'll bow And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne Then I'll just take what's left of me Right back to where it used to be And you'll go sail your magic carpet, far across the sky I wish I could have made it More like the movies for you Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins Did you girl? No, you never got to hear those violins, no The castles that you built so high Were just too steep for me to climb And I guess these dirty streets of mine Were just too rough for you I wish I could've helped you see Just one of your sweet childhood dreams But though I tried, I could not make not one of them come true And I wish I could have made it More like the movies for you Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins Did you girl? No, you never got to hear those violins Oh, I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins No, you never got to hear those violins
