Lyrics Leave your cares behind come with us and find The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind Come along if you care Come along if you dare Take a ride to the land inside of your mind Beyond the seas of thought beyond the realm of what Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not Come along if you care Come along if you dare Take a ride to the land inside of your mind But please realize you'll probably be surprised For it's the land unknown to man Where fantasy is fact So if you can, please understand You might not come back Come along if you care Come along if you dare Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see How happy life could be if all of mankind Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind

I seen Ted Nugent at Alpine Valley, East Troy , WI back in 95 . Derek St Holmes was with him on the tour . They played this tune , Stranglehold was sung by Derek . the whole set was fucking awesome . Before Nugent came on Bad Company was before them . Some other unknown band played before Bad Company . That was an awesome night of music . Alpine Valley was packed by the time Nugent performed .

Ted Nugent's guitar isn't even plugged into anything but he's still playing his part and keeping in time for the camera, and kudos to him for that. Lots of these 60's TV shoots the musicians aren't even trying because they know the performance will never be heard, so you wind up with the studio version coupled with shots of the band looking super bored on stage and the editors doing all the hard work trying to make it look passable.

Even as a teenager, showbiz savvy Ted realized the purpose of TV appearances was to SELL THE RECORD. Artists lip-synced because it would have been impossible to remotely approximate a polished studio recording in the tiny confines of a television studio. The song kids heard on TV the night before was the record they were buying after school the next day, a strategy used to great effect by the unlikely Ozzie Nelson, a law student and bandleader years before he was a befuddled sitcom dad and a shrewd businessman off-screen. Ozzie realized a weekly television series was the perfect platform to launch wise-ass-kid-brother-turned-teen-heartthrob son Ricky's career as a singer, taking after his mother; Ozzie met the then-Harriet Hilliard when she auditioned to be his band's girl singer (she got the job). Whenever Ricky lip-synced his latest release at the end of that weeks "Ozzie and Harriet" episode, Ozzie made sure record stores were stocked with plenty of copies in advance.

Not only is Ted keeping in time with the music, he's adjusting the volume control on his guitar as he would have been doing in a real, live situation. A real showman.
