Who did the "sign" song and how many versions of it are there?

Comes on the radio everyday almost
"sign, sign, everybody sign..." and how many versions are there of it and if there are multiple versions, are they both on the same cd? The radio usually plays a live accoustic version.

The song was originally performed by the Five Man Electrical Band. Tesla later recorded it live on their Five Man Acoustical Band Lp.

Damn, I was hoping this would be an Ace of Base thread.

Btw, the lyric is "signs, signs, everywhere there's signs."

Thanks it was Telsa
Sorry this is very very vauge, but I heard this on a "rock without the hard edge" station, it sort of had a little "Livin lovin maid" by Zeppelin riff in it, and that guitar riff came out of only one speaker, the singer was male and the song sounded like it was 70's.

I don't think you're going to find a person on here to help you with the second one there.

Tesla, he he he.

Remember this one:

"It's a showdown, in a noman's land
for the cowboy of the modern day.
Come on, sundown, don't be hangin 'round,
cause the cowboy will blow you away"


The man's a Shakespeare.

I know, wrong song but it was the first thing I thought of. Sad, I know.

It's "Cat Scratch Fever", by The Nuge.

And I love that Telsa.

Its Ted Nugent and I am pretty sure that was not the song. (if any baltimore or md people were listening around 6 pm or 6 10 pm on sat night, that is when it aired but I don't know the stations phone number (100.7 the bay)

Say what you will but Tesla rocked in the 80s & early 90s.

I have these 6 all of which are pretty good CDs.
Mechanical Resonance (1986)
The Great Radio Controversy (1989)
Five Man Acoustical Jam (1990)
Psychotic Supper (1991)
Bust a Nut (1994)
Time's Makin' Changes - The Best of Tesla (1995)

Haven't got Replugged Live or Standing Room Only yet so don't know how they are.
