Subject: what song is this?
Theres some song that starts out with something about a fountain rolling down a mountain...does anyone know what song this is? It's been driving me crazy for years!
Subject: Re: what song is this?
lol, can't say i know the song, but it kinda sounds like it might be one of the crazy lyrics to "down by the bay", the kids' song that i haven't heard in about 10 years. don't know if that's what you're looking for or not...

Subject: Re: what song is this?
If it is the same one I am thinking of, it is driving me crazy too...
It goes something like:
"They were all in love with death,
they were drinking from a fountain,
That was flowin' like a tidal wave
Comin' down the mountain..."
I am gonna try a search now...

Is it Pepper by the *ahem* Butthole Surfers?
The lyrics, from
http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~harel/cgi/page/htmlit?Pepper.html
Marky out with Sharon
And Sharon got Sharice
She was sharing Sharon's outlook
On the Topic of disease.
Mikey had a facial scar and Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with Diane
They were doing it in Texas
Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain
Then he lost his leg in Dallas
He was dancing with a train
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
CHORUS: I don't mind the sun sometimes
the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
and smell you in my clothes
Cinammon and sugary
and softly spoken lies
You never just how you look
through other peoples eyes
Some will die in hot pursuit
In fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
while sifting thru my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
and drink it from a fountain
that is pouring like an avalanche
coming down the mountain
CHORUS
Another Mikey took a knife
while arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death
he caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever-present
football player rapist
They were all in love with Diane
They were doing it in Texas
Polly caught a bullet
but it only hit his leg
well it should have been a better shot
and got him in the head
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
coming down the mountain
CHORUS

I remember back when I lived in Chicago, the Butthole Surfers were in concert. The local radio station, WXRT-FM, ran the concert ads, in which they were called the Beatle Surfers.
Can't say I can recall even one of their songs. :-/
