Chords with lyrics
From _Blitz_ #23, 11/77:
Mike McDowell: I hope you know what I'm referring to, but would you
consider George Gershwin a major influence?
Ray Graffia: You mean the fact that we stole 'Rhapsody In Blue'?
MM: Exactly! Of course I'm thinking of the 'I Lie Awake' single.
RG: We sang 'Rhapsody In Blue' in the high school chorus, and we
liked it enough to transform it into one of our own songs.
