    True, but not what I'm looking for.....

    I think it's a bit older then this, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was in a soundtrack.

    Great song.... I know it well, but nope........

    I'm pretty sure in the lyrics it has, "Me and the boys, me and the boys"

    Twisted Sister did one with the same title-

    Wooh
    Always livin' on the outside, never had no place to hide
    Feelin' so alone
    I got this thing dead to rights, ain't givin' in without a fight
    How the years have flown
    Me and the boys we never lost control
    It's one for all, yeah, we take care of our own
    Me and the boys just wanna rock, there's some things you never stop
    We got it and we're never lettin' go, just me and the boys
    CHORUS:
    Me and the boys
    We make a big noise, we gotta roll
    Me and the boys
    We don't got a choice, it's in our soul
    Oh, me and the boys
    With our backs against the wall, no way we're gonna fall
    We won't go away
    Another place, another show, another face, another no
    I got somethin' to say
    Me and the boys we know our destiny, just how it is and how it's gonna be
    Me and the boys take what we need, get in our way, we'll make you bleed
    To the victor go the spoil in our creed, just me and the boys
    REPEAT CHORUS
    Solo - Eddie
    Me and the boys we never lost control, it's one for all, we take care of our own
    Me and the boys just wanna rock, there's some things you never stop
    We got it and we're never lettin' go, just me and the boys

    I don't think this is it.........

    I tried to put the search in tower records and came up with nothing. Not even the Slade or Twisted sister titles.

    Cain't so far find a smaple, but here's the lyrics from Slade's version-
    Me and the boys wanna dance and score
    There is a monkey suit across the door
    You ain't coming in now with your crazy crowd
    Oh no there ain't no jeans allowed
    Chorus
    Yeh hey we're going on the town
    Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
    Yeh hey we're going on our way
    Me and the boys we we're doing O.K.
    Down at the Raj we can all perspire
    The Vindaloo kid has got his jeans on fire
    Curry and lager are the spice of life
    Next day they're gonna give me strife
    Chorus R E P E A T
    Me and the boys well we got no doubt
    You're never too old to be a gadabout
    Can't take em anywhere they cause a ruck
    Oh no they never will grow up
    Chorus R E P E A T
    There in your jeans you know have cost the earth
    You ain't coming in its more than my jobs worth
    Look at the kid now with his shirt tail out
    Oh no you wanna hear them shout

    You guys are great.........

    Real good attempts, but I don't think we've hit it.

    I would catagorize it like the "Boys are back in town" song.... Kind of summer, top down, mild rock.....

    "Blah blah blah, me and the boys, (yeah?) me and the boys" something like that

    Listen to my story every word is true
    I'll tell you how we come together
    It was fate, it was great, we didn't hesitate
    We were all birds of a feather
    Until we started somethin'
    The party started jumpin'
    Jumpin' to the joyful noise
    Where we're coming from, we're born to run
    Born to run like Nylons

    Me and the boys, yeah me and the boys
    Me and the boys, oh, me and the boys
    Me and the boys, yeah me and the boys
    Me and the boys, rock on boys yeah
    Yeah, yeah, we get together, we make a little noise
    The boys, the boys, the boys, the boys.....


    Cookin' in the kitchen with my eyes on the stars
    I wonder when I'm gonna get to heaven
    Got a place to go to that is not too far
    When I get off work at 11:00
    Goin' up to the rooftop, can't stop, too hot
    One of life's natural joys
    Well me and the guys like to harmonize
    Beneath the skies

    Me and the boys, yeah boys
    Yeah boys, yeah boys


    Now I come from Carolina down Atlanta way
    With a suitcase full of rhythm and blues
    You know I love you baby but I just can't stay
    Cause I got on my travellin' shoes
    Well, I'm gonna do it now, try my best to settle down
    But I never could endure
    The straight and simple life, it never did seem right
    And that's why I'm here tonight and I'm singin' with my


    Boys, me and the boys, me and the boys, me and the boys
    Me and the boys, me and the boys, me and the boys, me and the boys


    Dance, well I can really dance
    You ought to see me move across the floor, yeah
    Romance, well I took a chance
    I didn't know what I had bargained for
    Heartbreaks heartaches I just couldn't take
    **Stop treating me like a toy
    When out of the blue they came to my rescue
    Now all I want to do is just a doo-doo-wop


    Me and the boys, me and the boys
    Me and the boys, me and the boys, me and the boys

    Oh CDB ... D'oh.


    How about Dave Edmunds???

    Just a bunch of guys getting in the car
    No matter who's driving or for how far.
    Feels so good, yeah it's been so long.
    No fancy drivers tell us how to drive
    Me and the boys.
    Just me and the boys.
    Me and the boys.
    Me and my buddies just like to go
    We're having fun. Everybody knows.
    We don't fuss and we never cry.
    We're just grooving, taking in the sights.
    Me and the boys.
    Just me and the boys.
    Me and the boys.
    Don't raise questions about how it's done.
    We're just messing round, having fun.
    The car gears shifting well up and down.
    The muffler smells a lot, but we love the sound.
    Me and the boys.
    Just me and the boys.
    Me and the boys.
    It ain't like us to hang around this town
    Cause squares just bring us down.
    I've got to find me something new.
    Don't want to think about what they do.
    The future's coming round, and we don't care,
    Cause wherever we're going, we'll soon get there.
    Me and the boys!
    Just me and the boys!
    Me and the boys.

    you know, it kind of reminds me of the Bus Boys version which is different than Thin Lizzy's. It was in the movie "48 Hours".

    I would have thought it would be in a soundtrack or two.........

    After hearing it, it is def. the Dave Edmunds song. I don't know if it's a remake or been remade.

    I ordered the "Here Comes the Weekend " CD that had Slipping Away also. Seems to be one of the few songs I liked. The Anthology had a lot of songs I didn't and "Here Comes the Weekend " only cost $7!

    I ended up searching around on google, but it was a few pages deep.

    On Thanksgiving, I was trying to remember the name of the Rush album with Tom Sayer (or Spirit of the Radio) on it, I could visualize the woman on the cover (and knew the 'other' album was Moving Pictures), but it was really bothering me that I couldn't remember it.... and I didn't want to break away from the festivities to search it on the net. Then I remembered 'Permanent Waves'.
