Lets try something a little upbeat

[fireplug]

70's music :bounce: :bounce:

Name that tune!!!!!!!!!
Winner can do the next one!


Listen children to a story
that was written long ago.
About a kingdom on a moutain
and valley folk below.

On the montain was a treasue
buried deep beneath a stone and
the valley people swore they'd have it
for their very own.




Okay give it a try its not too hard

One Tin Soldier

Sorry can't think of any lyrics.....

[nativetxn]

I loved Billy Jack :)

<embed src="http://www.geocities.com/angelheartwolf21/onetinsoldier.wav" hidden=true autostart=true>

Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

[honeywolf7]

Can I do one since Heath didn't have any lyrics? How about
He was born in the summer of his twenty seventh year
coming home to a place he'd never been before.
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
you might say he found a key for ev'ry door.

When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
on the road and hangin' by a song.
But the strings already broken and he doesn't really care
it keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long.

[nativetxn]

I love that song, too, Rocky Mountain High by John Denver :)

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it raining fire in the sky.
The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullaby.
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high.

[debster812]

:ack: I'm no good at 70's music. Now, if you wanted to talk '80's that's another story.

Debbie

[snoopy]

Loved Rocky Mountain High.

Here's another one, also from the 70's:

She is like a cat in the dark
and then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
and when the sky is starless.....

[Lars624]

Rhiannon?

[fireplug]

Okay Lars you got it , you have to do the next one

Steve

[snoopy]

I was hoping this thread would take off better, we used to play Name that Tune here on the CB a couple of years ago and it was always fun.

Anyone else want to try and name some lyrics for everyone to guess on?

[Lars624]

So sorry.....had to go........back now........here we go ...my 1st try at this...


He says, "Bill I believe this is killing me"
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place."

[snoopy]

Would that be Piano Man? :)

Lets try an 80's song:

Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money.

Guesses?

[Lars624]

Love Shack.........

how about another 80's one....

Well I lived on the outskirts of town
in an eight room farmhouse, baby
when my eight brothers and friends were
around
there was always somethin' doin
had me a couple of real nice girlfriends
stopped by to see me every once in a while
when I think back about those days
All I can do is sit and smile.

[NHAnn]

aaackkk! It's on the tip of my tongue but I can't THINK with the music playing!!! LOL


John Mellencamp???? Nooooooo wait...........

[NHAnn]

'YES!!

that's when smoke was smoke
and groovin'was groovin'


Cherry Bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lars624]

Cherry Bomb is right........your turn.......

[Pin Wizard]

Cherry Bomb? I must have missed that one. I'm going back to the 70s. :)

You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be...

[abaldacci]

TAKIN CARE OF BUSINESS

[BrerMom]

please come to Denver
with the snowfall
we'll move up into the mountains
so far we can't be found
and throw i love you echoes
round the canyons
and lie awake at night
until they come back around
please come to Denver
she just said no, boy won't you come home to me

[abaldacci]

RABLIN MAN

[BrerMom]

It does have "ramblin' boy" in the lyrics, but try again on the title.

[Lars624]

Something about the man from Tennessee..........nope just can't quite grab it......

[abaldacci]

please come to boston

[BrerMom]

That's it! :)

[Lars624]

your turn Amanda................

[abaldacci]

my computer is bogged down. some one go ahead

[Lars624]

Amamnda is tht Gastonia NC you live in? My niece and her family live there.

[Lars624]

OK.....we're back in the 70's

She stood there bright as the sun
On that California coast
He was a midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes
So innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home

[KozmicLee]

Hollywood Nights?

[snoopy]

Yep, that is Hollywood Nights. Gonna take a turn asking, Kosmic Lee?

[Lars624]

Ok.....does anyone else want to take a turn?:confused:

[Catzeyes]

ok another 70's song

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

[Lars624]

More than a feeling?

[Catzeyes]

Yes! Your turn!

[Lars624]

70's again...........

Is love so fragile...
and the heart so hollow
Shatter with words...
impossible to follow
You're saying I'm fragile...I try not to be
I search only...for something I can't see

[Catzeyes]

Leather and Lace?

[Lars624]

Yep, probably one of my favorite duets ever. Of course anything Stevie Nicks sings is incredible!
Your turn.........

[iluvorlando]

Can I play?

I like the way your sparklin' earrings lay
against your skin so brown,
and I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight
with a billion stars all around.

[Lars624]

I believe it's the Eagles-Peaceful, Easy Feeling

[Catzeyes]

I love Stevie Nicks! Ok let's try this one

I remember to this day
The bright red Georgia clay
How it stuck to the tires
After the summer rain.
Willpower made that old car go
A woman's mind told me that it's so
Oh, how I wish we were back
On the road again.

[Smee]

I think that's........ (Me and You and) A Dog Named Boo...(or was it Blue?)


Here's the next....

It's late September and I really should be back at school.
I laughed at all of your jokes,
My love you didn't need to coax......

[iluvorlando]

Lars,

You are correct!!

[Catzeyes]

Your right Smee! And it is Boo!

[Pin Wizard]

We go a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel

[Lars624]

Wonderful Tonight

[Lars624]

Ok here goes.......I hope somebody's listening & ready to guess.......


When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man.


Who knows it?

[Kitty 34]

Rocketman from Elton John:D


Go ahead Lars and think of another....you're doing great!!:D :bounce:

[Lars624]

I have another one ready.....but you were wrong on this one......try again...........Elton is right..............Rocketman is not

[Kitty 34]

OOps....... Yellow Brick Road

[Mary Jo]

<i>Shoot, if I had known this was 70's music....</i>

<font color=navy>Haven't a clue yet, but I'm guessin'

[debster812]

Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me


Hey, I got one, and from the 70's too.

[Lars624]

Still not right......keep trying!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lars624]

Kitty you were right............sorry......I didn't see your post only the don't let the suin go down one..............who's turn now? Kitty's?

[Lars624]

Debster? Do you still have one ready?

[fireplug]

I've got one if no one else does:

Theres a port on a western bay
and it serves a hundred ships a day
though the sailors pass the time away
and talk about their homes

AndTheres a girl in this harbor town
and works layin whiskry down ............


Steve

[snoopy]

Brandy.

How about this one:

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

[nativetxn]

September

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
can't think of anything i need....

no cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
nothing to eat, no books to read
making love with you
has left me peaceful, warm and tired
what more could I ask
there's nothing left, to be desired
peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
so sleep, silent angel
go to sleep........

[snoopy]

Is that song called Air that I Breathe?

Something like that anyway. :)

How about:

As time goes on, I realize just what you mean to me.
And now, now that you're near, promise your love that I've waited to share
and dreams of our moments together

[Lars624]

Chicago-Color my world

[Lars624]

How about...........

I remember the thirty five sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the Wolverine
Up to Annondale
It was still September
When your Daddy was quite surprised
to find you with the working girls
in the county jail.

[Saffron]

Hey Smee! That is Maggie May! :)

Lars, your's is My Old School by Steely Dan :)

How about this 70's tune:

The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbeson singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again ...

:) :) :) :) :)

This is my kind of game! Whoo hoo!!

[Smee]

Excellent Saffron!!!! Maggie May it is!!

[fireplug]

Thunder Road by THE BOSS


Sweet days of summer
the jasmines in bloom

July is dressed up and
May in her June
I come home from a
hard days work
You 're waiting there


Steve

[Saffron]

Summer Breeze by Seales and Croft (sp?)

70's Song:

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away.
Give me one more day, please.
I don't want to fade away.
In your heart I want to stay.

[Pin Wizard]

Bell bottom blues?

[Saffron]

Yup Sandy, that's it! By Derek and the Dominos or Eric Clapton. :D Your turn!!! :D

[Pin Wizard]

It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But 'used to be's' don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I learned how to love
Even learned how to lie
You'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye

[Lars624]

You don't bring me flowers?

[Lars624]

How about this one from the 70's

I was born in the wagon of a travelin show
My Mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good

[Pin Wizard]

Right! :)

[Banzai]

I wanna play! I wanna play! Who is next>?

[Pin Wizard]

Lars624 has me stumped. I should know it!! :confused:

[Saffron]

If you guess correctly Banzai, then you are next!!

Gypsy, Tramps and Thieves by Cher!

How about"

There's a reason for the sunshiny sky
and there's a reason why I'm feelin so high
must be season when that love light shines all around us

So let that feelin grab you deep inside
and send you reelin' where your love can't hide
and then go steelin' through the moonlight nights with your lover

[Saffron]

Yup, Let Your Love Flow by the Bellamy Brothers!

You're up Lars!! :) :)

[Lars624]

Yes, Gypsies tramps & thieves by cher is right!

I'm comfused now though. I can hear the song in my head.......is the title maybe
Let your love flow?

[Lars624]

We can go dancing, we can go walking

Listen to some music, maybe just talking

[snoopy]

Thats Abba's Take a Chance on Me. :)

[Lars624]

You got it snoopy.....now it's your turn......this is really fun!

[snoopy]

O.K., how about this:

Every night I'm lyin' in bed
holdin' you close in my dreams,
thinkin' about all the things that we said
and comin' apart at the seams.

[Lars624]

Best of my love
Eagles.........my favorite of their songs:D

[snoopy]

Another:

You've got to get up every morning
With a smile on your face
And show the world, all the love in your heart

[NHAnn]

then people gonna treat you better
you're gonna find out, yes you will
that you're BEAUTIFUUUUUUUUUL
as you feel!

Carole King!

[snoopy]

Right you are NH Ann!

Your turn! :)

[NHAnn]

there is a young cowboy who lives on the range
his horse and his cattle are his only companions

he works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
just waiting for summer, his pastures to change

and as the moon rises he sits by his fire
just thinkin' about women and glasses of beer

and closing his eyes as the dogies retire
he sings out a song that is soft but its clear

just as if maybe someone could hear......

[Smee]

Sweet Baby James by james Taylor!!

[NHAnn]

Right you are, Smee!!

good night you moonlight ladies
and rock-a bye Sweet Baby James
deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
wn't you let me go down in my dreams
and rock-a- bye Sweet Baby James :)

your turn!

[Smee]

Oooops! I almost forgot.......

Next......Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waitin' for a train.
I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans

[NHAnn]

Me & Bobby McGee!!

[Smee]

You got it Ann! You're up!!!

[NHAnn]

You walked in to the party
Like you were walking on to a yacht

Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot

You had one eye in the mirror as
you watched yourself gavotte

and all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
they'd be your partner........

[Lars624]

You're so Vain-Carly Simon

[NHAnn]

anyone got one ready? I have to think!

[Lars624]

I think it's my turn.......

Oon the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
there were birds and plants and rocks and things
therre was sand and hills and rings

[NHAnn]

you're right Lars, sorry....I had a bunch of windows open on my screen :rolleyes:

[NHAnn]

I've been to the desert on-----

A Horse With No Name???

[Lars624]

You got it Ann!!! your turn again........

[doxdogy]

Here's one:

The love between the two of us was dying
And it got so bad I knew I had to leave
But halfway down that highway when I turned around I saw
My little daughter running after me
Crying

[NHAnn]

An only child alone and wild
a cabinetmaker's son
his hands were meant for different work
but his heart was known to none

He left his home and went his lone
and solitary way
and he gave to me a gift I know
I never can repay

[doxdogy]

Leader of the Band - Dan Fogelberg

[NHAnn]

yep doxydog..........

but yours is bugging me...if I could think of the tune it would come to me............
I used to think it was so pathetic.......the little girl and all..........
something about wanting him to come home and she'd be good or something??????????

[Pin Wizard]

All right you guys...I've had "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" running through my mind since this afternoon. It's NOT helping me study for 2 tests and type 2 papers!!! :rolleyes:

[fireplug]

I think we're stumped, how about a hint or somemore lines, PLEASE

Steve

[Lars624]

Sorry Pin Wizard, Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves was my post. Hope you got your work done!:)

[doxdogy]

Okay here are some more lines:

Now it broke my heart to tell my little daughter
That her daddy had to run to catch a train
She had no way of knowin' I was leavin' home for good
I turned around and there she was again
As she said to me

[browneyes]

That has got to be a Cat Stevens song. But I'm not sure.:confused:

[NHAnn]

still can't get it.......the chorus must be the title.......maybe more folk or country than Car Stevens? I just remember I always thought it was pathetically mushy........the daughter crying "Daddy come back" or something??

[doxdogy]

Yes, the chorus is the title. Not Cat Stevens and it is a mushy song. Even the singer is considered mushy. Here are parts of the chorus:

Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run

[Catzeyes]

Daddy don't you walk so fast?

[doxdogy]

Catzeyes:

That is the correct.

[Catzeyes]

Ok here is another one

Mortgage people you crawl to your homes
Your security lies in your bed of white foam
You act concerned but then why turn away
When a lady was raped on your doorstep today
Well your blacks are cryin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are dyin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand, oh yeah......

[fireplug]

Golden Country by REO Speedwagon

I close my eyes
only for a moment
and the moments gone
All my dreams
pass before my eyes
A curiosisty...........

70's


I needed the shelter of someone's arms & there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups & downs & there you were

[Saffron]

How Sweet it is to be Loved by You by James Taylor

Here's a 70's song:

I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think
or let you see one thing for yourself
Baby can you see
But now your off with someone else and I'm alone
You see I thought that I might keep you for my own
And it takes to long to see ...

[fireplug]

Aimie by Pure Prarie League


I rode in from town today
in my mind I said
Lord I'd love to stay
Sometnig in me said
Boy move on
Don't know what it is
the good Lord bred
it in my bones

Steve

[Catzeyes]

Searchin' For a Rainbow ?

[fireplug]

That right catzeyes !!

Your turn !

Steve

[Catzeyes]

Where are you going now my love?
Where will you be tomorrow?
Will you bring me happiness?
Will you bring me sorrow?
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me?

[Lars624]

I'm stumped Catzeyes, can you give a hint or some more lyrics? :confused:

[Catzeyes]

ok it starts

One morning I woke up and I knew that you were gone.
A new day, a new way, I knew I should see it along.
Go your way, I'll go mine

[Lars624]

Sadly I'm still blank. Hopefully someone else will know it............

[Saffron]

Carry On by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young! :) :)

[Catzeyes]

Yes!! Your turn!

[Saffron]

Whoops! Forgot to post one! LOL!!

Sitting and staring out of the hotel window
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again
Like to get some sleep before I travel
But if you got a warrant I guess you're gonna come in

Busted down on Bourbon Street
Set like a bowling pin
Knocked down, it gets to wearing thin
They just won't let you be

[Catzeyes]

Truckin!!

[KozmicLee]

I never posted one yesterday, so here's mine!


Well, I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she's a friend of mine

[Catzeyes]

Take it Easy by the Eagles

[KozmicLee]

You got it! :D

[Catzeyes]

Ok this might be a hard one.

Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
"Come in," she said, I'll give you

[Saffron]

One of my favorites!!

Shelter From the Storm by Bob Dylan


Now I know your mama she don't like me `cause I play in a rock and roll band
And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand
Papa lowered the boom, he locked you in your room
I'm comin' to lend a hand
I'm comin' to liberate you, confiscate you, I want to be your man
Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny
But now you're sad, your mama's mad
And your papa says he knows that I don't have any money ...

[Catzeyes]

Rosalita? And Shelter from the Storm is one of my very favorites too!

[Saffron]

Yes Catzeyes, it is Rosalita!! Your turn!! :D

[Catzeyes]

ok let's try this one

You're not a stranger to me
And you are something to see
You don't even know how to please
You say a lot...but you're unaware how to leave


My darling lives in a world that is not mine
An old child misunderstood...out of time
Timeless is the creature who is wise
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise


Oh who is the beauty...who the beast
Would you die of grieving when I leave
Two children too blind to see
I would fall in your shadow...I believe

[candykisses]

Stevie Nicks Beauty and the Beast!

My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

[Banzai]

Yes...that was me posting!

[Catzeyes]

That is the song Waterloo by Abba right?

[Catzeyes]

Finished with my woman
'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane
Because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
If I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness,
I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh
And I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
And love to me us so unreal

And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but it's too late

[Pin Wizard]

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

[fireplug]

Okay we give.................

a Little hint please


Steve

[Catzeyes]

Ok a hint, he now has his own tv show. However this song comes from when he was with a group.

[Saffron]

HAHA!! Catzeyes has stumped the panel! I have no idea!! The only line that seems familiar is the "occupy my brain" line. :teeth: :teeth: :p :p

[Catzeyes]

LOL ok the groups initials are BS

[MnParrothead]

Black Sabbath, with Ozzy Osbourne, but I don't know the name of the song.

[MnParrothead]

Black Sabbath-Paranoid.

[Catzeyes]

Yep!!

[Saffron]

Okay MnParrothead, it's your turn! Time to post your song! The 80's thread is catching up to us. :teeth:

[Lars624]

Even though I haven't gotten one right in a while:( I have one to post just to keep things going while we're waiting on the next post from the last winner.........Should be an easy one:D

Heart breaker, soul shaker
I've been told about you
Steamroller, midnight stroller
What they've been saying must be true.

[Catzeyes]

Nazareth Hair of the Dog?

[Lars624]

Yes...........Hair of the Dog is right.......you're up

[Catzeyes]

ok another easy one

And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if.... I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if.... I won't have to cry no more.

And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if.... I won't have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if.... I won't have to talk...

[Saffron]

Moon Shadow by Cat Stevens :)

That Nazareth tune was hard!! :p I had no clue. :p :p

How about:

Feeling better now that we're through
Feeling better since I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I can see how you really are ...

[Lars624]

You're no good, you're no good, you're no good, baby you're no good...........

[Saffron]

Yeppers, sung by Linda Ronstadt! Batter's up Lars!! :) :) :)

[Lars624]

Here goes.....

Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show

[Saffron]

Ooooooooh! It's a Carpenter's song, but I don't know the name of it! I love it though! The chorus is:

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
Said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby (heehee!)
I love you, I really do.

:p :p

[Lars624]

That's it Saffron........it's called Superstar................you're up

[Saffron]

Haha! I thought it was something like Guitar Man or something. LOL!!

Okay, here's another lady singer's song:

Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call

And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall ...

[Catzeyes]

That's one of my all time favorite songs, Joan Baez Diamonds and Rust.

[Saffron]

That's right Catzeyes! I love that song too!!! Your turn! :) :)

[Lars624]

bump

[Catzeyes]

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid
Come on baby...and she had no fear
And she ran to him...then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye...she had become like they are

[Saffron]

Hmmmmmmmmmm, not a clue. :smooth: :smooth: :p :p

Catzeyes? Who is the cutie in your signature? I love that picture!

Sorry, back to singing. :D

[Catzeyes]

That would be our newfoundland puppy Bear (boo for short) when he was 6 months old. The last time he was at the vet he was over 130 pounds.

[Pin Wizard]

I'm starting to wonder if I was really alive during the 70's because I don't know any of these songs! ROFL! :p And I've always LOVED music!

[Saffron]

Okay Catzeyes!!! We need a clue!! :) :)

Hiya Bear!! He sure is cute!! :)

[doxdogy]

Is it Blue Oyster Cult's The Reaper?

[Catzeyes]

Yes! Your turn

[doxdogy]

Okay here goes. Have to admit this artist is one of my all time favorites.

Well, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I got to say can't wait
I know you'd understand
Ev'ry time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong

[fireplug]

I'll have to say I love you with a song ? Jim Croce

Steve

[Pin Wizard]

Can I post one while Steve thinks about what he wants to post? :teeth:

i don't mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
it doesn't matter where you've been
as long as it was deep

[doxdogy]

Yes, that's right.

[Lars624]

Is it called Just what I needed? by the Cars?

[fireplug]

When I was young
it seemsed that life
was so wonderful
a miracle, oh it was beautiful,
magical and all the birds in the trees
well they'd be singing,
joyfully, playfully watching me


Steve

[Pin Wizard]

That's right, Lars! :teeth:

[Pin Wizard]

Steve's is by Styx, isn't it? But what's the name of it!? Simple Man?

[Lars624]

I was thinking that your song was by Supertramp Steve.

Here's my offering.......easy one....

Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry

[fireplug]

Supertramp is the group, but what is the name of the song?

Simple man isn't it..


Steve

[Lars624]

I can see the album cover in my head but I can't get the title. If I'm remembering correctly I don't think the title was obvious in the song.

[Pin Wizard]

Oops...right song, wrong group. :rolleyes:

[NHAnn]

Is it the Logical song???

and Lars...yours is Hoplessly Devoted to You from Grease...Olivia Newton-John

[Lars624]

Okay Ann I think you got em both......you're turn now...........

[fireplug]

You're right .
Lets have the next one NHAnn

Steve

[NHAnn]

Now we take our time...so nonchalant,
And spend our nights so bon vivant.
We dress our days in silken robes,
The money comes, the money goes...
We know it's all a passing phase.

We light our lamps for atmosphere,
And hang our hopes on chandeliers.
We're goinig wrong, we're gaining weight,
We're sleeping long and far too late.
And so it's time to change our ways...

[NHAnn]

Anybody???

I'm going to bed now.....you guys can sleep on it ;)

[Pin Wizard]

I've Loved These Days...Billy Joel

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...my FAVORITE singer! :teeth:

[Pin Wizard]

Way down the street there's a light in his place
You open the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything

[fireplug]

Leedo shuffle ? Boz Scaggs

Two less lonely people in the world
and it's gonna be fine.
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe you're mine.

[Pin Wizard]

Two less lonely people in the world...Air Supply

[Pin Wizard]

Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

[Tulirose]

Oh Geez Louise!!! I did the TITLE in my lyrics!!??!! Tulirose smacks self in forehead!!! It's late but it's been fun. Thanks. Your turn PinWizard.

Don't worry about that! You're right, Ann. :)

[NHAnn]

hhhmmm....no guesses??

Here's the chorus - the song title is blanked out in the last line ;)

and every thing looks so complete
when you're walking down on the streets
and the wind, it catches your feet
sets you flying, crying

ooooh ooh-ooh wee...........
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is calling

[NHAnn]

that song title is a 4-letter word and a five letter word, for some reason the space between them won't print out in the post....

[Pin Wizard]

You got it, Steve! Your turn. :D

[fireplug]

Sorry it took so long I'm at work:rolleyes:





We'd love to hear you speak your mind
In plain and simple ways
Call a spade a spade
Like you did back in the day
You would play piano
Each morning walk a mile
Speak of what was going down
With honesty and style





Steve

[Saffron]

Okay, I'm back in it, not cheating this time and I haven't got a clue. HAHAHA!! :rolleyes: :teeth:

[Saffron]

YAY! LOL!!

Loving, Touching, Squeezing by Journey. :D

[Lars624]

Yep that's it......your turn Saffron

[Saffron]

Yay! I love 70's music. :) This is from 1970 and it's one of my all time favortie song!!


People moving out,
People moving in.
Why? Because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sho' can't hide

An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth,
Vote for me and I'll set you free
Rap on, brother, rap on

The only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
and it seems
Nobody's interested in learning
But the teacher

Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration,
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation ...

[Pin Wizard]

I haven't a clue. LOL!

[snoopy]

Saffron's is Ball of Confusion.

O.K., I haven't been really keeping up with this thread, so I don't know if this one has been done or not:

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen 'em go go go

[Catzeyes]

Lou Reeds Take a Walk on the Wild Side

[Catzeyes]

Why wait any longer for the world to begin
you can have your cake and eat it, too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
when he's standing in front of you

[NHAnn]

Bob Dylan.......
Lay Lady Lay

[NHAnn]

Here's one:

The first thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
I couldn't of been no more
Than one or two
I remember there's a radio
Comin' from the room next door
And my mother laughed
The way some ladies do....

[snoopy]

That's Paul Simon's Late in the Evening.

Here's one of my favorite songs from the 70's, the song my father and I danced to at my wedding:

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong..........

[Saffron]

Forever Young by Joan Baez or Bob Dylan :)

[Saffron]

Here's the next one:

The road is long, with many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows when
But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him ...

[Lars624]

He ain't heavy...he's my brother

[Lars624]

Next one..


If never I met you
I'd never have seen you cry

[fireplug]

Sorry,I thought everyone got bored with it ,and nobodty asked for a clue..........

Anyway the answer to mine was "Harry Truman" by Chicago

and now that we are going again I will start peeking in again


Steve

[snoopy]

Kiis - Hard Luck Woman

How about this:

Wise men say
It looks like rain today
It crackled on the speakers
And trickled down the sleepy subway trains
For heavy eyes could hardly hold us
Aching legs that often told us
It's all worth it,,,,,,,,,,

[snoopy]

Hint for fireplug and anyone else. This is an Elton John song.

[Saffron]

I'm out! I don't know Elton John songs. :p :p
