Where did the intro from black night come from and where did the lyrics from speed king come from.

i think i have heard some speed king lyrics in an old elvis song (hard headed woman). i have been noodleing the intro from black night forever and i never heard the song before today.

"life is a blur of republicans and meat"- zippy the pinhead

Black Night > Blues Magoos - (We Ain't Got) Nothing Yet > Ricky Nelson - Summertime
Experience is the ultimate teacher

Speed King is an amalgam of fifties rock'n'roll lyrics, inter alia from Little Richard, an early vocal influence for Ian Gillan.

Good golly said little Miss Molly
Whe she was rockin in the house
of the blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
when she was rockin to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real
When she didn't do her daddy's will
Come on baby,drive me crazy
You can do it, you can do it

I'm a speed king,hear me sing
Yes, I'm a speed king, see me fly

Saturday  night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about now aint gonna save
People gonna rock, people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Heard headed woman,soft heart man
they've been causin' trouble since it all began
Take a little rice,take a little beans
gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

Cause i'm a speed king
you gotta hear me sing, speed king, see me fly

Good golly said little Miss Molly
Whe she was rockin in the house
of the blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
when she was rockin to the east and west
Heard headed woman, soft hearted man
they been causin trouble since it all began
Take a little rice, take a little beans gonna rock and roll down to
New Orleans

As usual, Dave doesn't know the song so ...

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Unlike that other erm... Led band, DP and especially Blackmore said that they never wrote a song that wasn't an idea pinched from another song  :o
