Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies - doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change - don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

It's Iceland... or the Philippines... or Hastings... or... or this place!

[shep]

One night in Bangkok--Murry Head..

Time, Time, Time

oops..sorry..:o

next song??:jester:

[olena]

When I hold you in my arms at night
Don't you know you're sleeping in a spotlight
And all your dreams that you keep inside
You're telling me the secrets that you just can't hide

[debster812]

OK--How about...a nice easy one:

If you see a faded sign
At the side of the road
That says 15 miles to the...

[shep]

Talking in your sleep-Romantics..
I'll let someone else get debsters...

Love Shack- B52's


Knew you'd be a vision in white
How'd you get those pants so tight?
Don't know what you're doin'
But you must be livin' right

[browneyes]

Love Shack, Todd.:)

She's got eyes of the bluest skies and if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain.

Pour Some Sugar On Me- Def Leppard


If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower

When I'm With You- Sheriff


You can hit those high notes at the end, Todd? :D




I said "Go if you wanna go
Stay if you wanna stay"
I didn't care if you hung around me
I didn't care if you went away
And I know you were never right
I'll admit I was never wrong
I could never make up my mind
I made it up as I went along

Hope you breathe with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush

[olena]

Love is all around you..
Love is knocking
outside your door
waiting for you
is this love made just for two..

[Catzeyes]

Look around me
I can see my life before me
Running rings around the way
It used to be

I am older now
I have more than what I wanted
But I wish that I had started
Long before I did

[Catzeyes]

You got me on that one Shep, no idea.

[shep]

Great.. You have me stumped too...

Wasted On the Way- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young


BOOYA, BABY!!!!!





The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

[shep]

Africa--Toto

Colour Me Bad

[Catzeyes]

know the rent is in arrears
The dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears, but
It's alright
Cows giving kerosene
Kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but
It's alright

Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you
You´re the only one who really knew me at all

[Cindy B]

MAn, how did I miss this thread, I love 80's songs... especially the "weird ones"...


I knew ONe Night in Bangkok right away...


Lets see here...

try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and
Laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes


I saw this group in concert, and they did fantastic...

[snoopy]

Thats the Cures Boys Don't Cry. :)

[snoopy]

Oops, I forgot to ask one.

How about this?

Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

[Cindy B]

Fast Car, Tracy Chapman..too easy!

[Cindy B]

I guess its my turn again.. Snoopy, you got mine right away.. I should have tried a harder B side....


All of the headLines said 'Passion Crime"
'Newly weds Groom Shot Dead
'Mystery Man.' God help the bride
She's a widow, all in red,
With his red still wet. She said--"


This is a toughie... ! A hint, the title of the song is the next line!

[Cindy B]

Ok, another hint, The artist is one who sang a duet with Peter Gabriel.... on the SO album...

[Cindy B]

Guess that one was too hard ... it was the Wedding List by Kate Bush....

[Mish19]

Hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla ****uhla hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla bop!

[shep]

Don't know any Kate Bush or Cure songs...
Mish19's song really has me thinking..

[Catzeyes]

Just a Gigolo David lee Roth

[Catzeyes]

Ok here's one

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

[shep]

gosh..this is so much harder today..
dd's are both up..no concentration...:o

[JohnTBap]

I just got it too..:mad: you beat me to it..:o

[Cindy B]

Ok, here's another one... (a little less obscure )


You eat Cadillacs Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subaru
And you don't stop
You keep on eating cars
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet

[snoopy]

That's Bondie's Rapture. :)

[Cindy B]

Good job snoopy!

I had that song on 8-track!

[snoopy]

How about this:

Love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart

[Catzeyes]

In your eyes

[Cindy B]

Can I have the next line please?

I hear the music, but Its bugging me now!

[shep]

next???
or are we still trying to figure out snoopy's??:confused:

[Catzeyes]

I thinks Snoopy's is "In your eyes"

[snoopy]

Ooops. sorry guys, I stepped away for a bit, didn't mean to leave you hanging.

Catseyes is right, its Peter Gabriel's "In your Eyes".

Your turn, catseyes!

[Catzeyes]

met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall
She could dance all night and shake the paint off the walls
But when I saw her smile across a crowded room
Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon
As the band began to play out of tune

[Mermaid02]

And We Danced.........can't remember who did it though... Stray Cats or maybe The Hooters....

[Catzeyes]

You got it and it's the Hooters. Your turn!

[Cindy B]

Snoopy wouldn't you know it, the rest of the lyric popped into my head driving down the road...

I knew and we danced by the first line. The Hooters were a local Philly band, they used to play live at high school dances... no kidding in 1984, they played at Lenape High School, when I was a freshmen..

Another weird Hooters trivia, Rob Hymen (yes that is HIS name), wrote Time after Time....


Here's one...


We're shopping at the Human Mall....
Can't be happy till we 've had it all....


(its another local Philly band, and I went to a neighboring high school with this artists daughter!)

[Cindy B]

Hint... it has to do with something that is in every mall......


They have them in Disney World too...

[Cindy B]

Its Escalator of Life by Robert Hazard.....


I heard that countless times growing up.... I would know it by the first note....

[Catzeyes]

I had no idea what that one was.

[Cindy B]

Escalator of Life, really? You had never heard it? it was played so much growing up, we got sick of it fast......


Here's an "easy" one....

Say, we can go where we want to, a place that they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind



This was a great video....

[Catzeyes]

Safety Dance!

[Catzeyes]

I saw him dancing there by the record machine
I knew he must have been about seventeen
The beat was going strong, playing my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
till he was with me, yeah, me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
till he was with me, yeah, me, singin'

[gemmie214]

"I Love Rock n Roll" Joan Jett

[gemmie214]

My personal favorite:

I never saw you
look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through,
another season passes by you
I never took the smile
away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way
to look for someone who is still a child

[olena]

In A Big Country by Big Country?

[Cindy B]

I'm at a loss in this one too... I don't think it was my speciality.. New Wave/Punk/Alternative...

I was thinking Life in a Northern Town by Dream Academy

[olena]

I never saw you
look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through,
another season passes by you
I never took the smile
away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way
to look for someone who is still a child

*In a big country
dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice
fires the mountainside
Stay alive

I'm not expecting
to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe
and see the sun in wintertime

Chorus

So take that look out of here,
it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened
doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor,
come up screaming
Cry out for everything
you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth
were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here
with every single hope you had shattered



Yup...that's the one.





Next up (easy)......

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

[Mickeycrazy]

Sumeer of '69 - Bryan Adams

Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me

[JohnTBap]

Do you dream about me? - Night Ranger

[Catzeyes]

In your wildest dreams? Moody Blues

[JohnTBap]

Oh, I think you're right! :)

[Catzeyes]

I'm always somewhere else
And you're always there alone

Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling

[JohnTBap]

Beth - KISS

[olena]

Your Wildest Dreams was right.

What's next?

[JohnTBap]

Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body

Got a body like you

[olena]

Faith- George Michael



I get up in the evening
and I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning

Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

[JohnTBap]

Dancin in the Dark - Bruce Springsteen

Go for it, Cindy....:D

[Cindy B]

Ok... You all know I was a college DJ back in the 80's... how I know all the obscure ones...

He was the first punk ever to set foot on this earth.
He was a genius from the day of his birth.
He could play the piano like a ring and a bell
And ev'rybody screamed:



I had a hard time finding the lyrics in English... ! (major hint there!)

[Catzeyes]

Rock me Amadeus!

[JohnTBap]

Thread Killer - Cindy B

;)

[Catzeyes]

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

[Cindy B]

Ok that one was too easy, I thought most of you would know the club remix, not that version...

Thread killer...now, you all are all missing out NOT knowing "Escalator of Life", and "the Wedding LIst", those are both pretty awesome songs...

Catzeyes.. anyothers? I won't know it unless it is new wavish/punk or alternative...

[olena]

Rock Me Amadeus- Falco....:D




Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise

You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

[Cindy B]

Frankie Goes to Hollywood?

[Cindy B]

You are GOOD!

But which song?

[olena]

Two Tribes Go To War- Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Silk suit, black tie,

They come runnin' just as fast as they can

[Cindy B]

ZZ top Sharp Dressed Man


Ok, I am obsessed with VH1 Classic...

[olena]

LOL....Me, too!

I actually saw some Blues Brothers on there today....:D

[Cindy B]

You guys got Frankie, I am impressed...

Now to dig deeper in my "vault" here..

I never talk to my neighbour
I'd just rather not get involved
Love, peace and harmony?
Love, peace and harmony?
Oh, very nice
very nice

[Cindy B]

Yes, my kids watch VH1 Classics with me as well... scary thought..

I was in heaven the other day, could you beleive Lene Lovich?
Lene Lovich was WAY over the top!


I love "We are the 80's", they play my kind of videos.. they were usually the weird ones they only played at 2 am when they were "new"....

Death of a Disco Dancer- The Smiths






Workin' like a dog fo de boss man
Workin' for de company
I'm bettin' on the dice I'm tossin'
I'm gonna have a fantasy
But where am I gonna look?
They tell me that love is blind
I really need a girl like an open book
to read between the lines

[Cindy B]

Hmm... I'm still thinking, it isn't jumping out...

[olena]

Another verse:



Gonna be a penthouse pauper
Gonna be a millionaire
I'm gonna be a real fast talker
And have me a love affair
Gotta get my timin' right
It's a test that I gotta pass
I'll chase you all the way to the stairway honey
Kiss your sassafras

White Wedding, Billy Idol

[Lars624]

1/2 right
Billy Idol=yes
White Wedding=No

[lil mermaid]

hot shoe, burning down the avenue
model citizen, zero discipline

[lil mermaid]

i meant, Rebel Yell!

[lil mermaid]

ooops....Rebel Yell, Billy Idol!

[Lars624]

Rebel yell is right

[olena]

Panama- Van Halen
(That song ROCKS!)




Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things can only get better

And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide

[Lars624]

I guess that's why they call it the blues-Elton John?

[Lars624]

You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute,
I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot

[lil mermaid]

Jessie's Girl, rick Springfield

On the streets where you live
Girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick plastic and paint
A touch of sable in their eyes
All your life, all your life
All you've asked is whens your Daddy gonna talk to you
But you were living in another world
Tryin' to get a message through

[olena]

Runaway- Bon Jovi



Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass
It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
It's so groovy, it's outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet

[Lars624]

BUMP!!!
How about a clue?

[olena]

There's a fish out of water flopping around in the video.

[Lars624]

I am embarassed to admit it but I give up.........can someone else figure it out?

[olena]

Epic- Faith No More




New York, New York is everything they say
And no place that I'd rather be
Where else can you do a half a million things
And all at a quarter to three

[spb999]

Heart of Rock 'n Roll - Huey Lewis and the news



How can I just let you walk away
Let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you ....

[dizneenut]

Against All Odds...Phil Collins


You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat

[Cindy B]

No one Ever is to Blame, Howard Jones... one of my many favorites....

[Cindy B]

I guess its my turn to post something... oops...

Now, is everything truly guessing and not just plugging lyrics into a search engine... just wondering on that...


Lets see, here...


Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu

[Lars624]

I can guarantee that I'm only guessing.....that's why I don't know most of them:)

[JohnTBap]

Games Without Frontiers - PEETAH Gabriel ;)

[shep]

next song????:rolleyes:

[Pin Wizard]

You said it won't work, it's a cold world when you keep it all to yourself
I said you can't hide on the inside, all the pain you've ever felt
Run from my heart, but baby don't look back, '*** we got nobody else

[olena]

Shadows of the Night- Pat Benatar




Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature

[Mermaid02]

Everybody wants to rule the world...... Tears for Fears!!

[Mermaid02]

"Cause baby we'll be
at the drive in
in the old man's Ford...."

[Cindy B]

Next line... I don't think I know this one.. It isn't jumping out...

I'm thinking its a "pop metal" song, like maybe Bon Jovi, or Def Leppard, Motley Crue... something like that....

[olena]

Talk Dirty To Me- Poison



you could have a steam train
if you'd just lay down your tracks
you could have an aeroplane flying
if you bring your blue sky back

all you do is call me
I'll be anything you need

you could have a big dipper
going up and down, all around the bends
you could have a bumper car, bumping
this amusement never ends

[Cindy B]

Slegehammer Peter Gabriel... too easy...

[Lars624]

Is that Sledgehammer?

[Cindy B]

I knew Lorielei was a "pop metal" but wasn't sure.. Here is mine...


But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love you thought what a pity

[olena]

Original Sin- INXS



I admit, I could make them harder, but that seems to frustrate people.





You must understand
That the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react

[Mermaid02]

What's love got to do with it? Tina Turner

[olena]

Yeppers

[Mermaid02]

"And now I hear ya found somebody new
and that I never meant that much to you
To hear that cuts me- like a knife....."

[Cindy B]

I like them harder, but again, I love the Obscure songs, instead of the usual....


We would be the only two playing Heather...;)

Ok, Lorillei, you're next with a lyric...

[Cindy B]

Cuts like a knife Bryan Adams

[Mermaid02]

Nope

[Cindy B]

Shaved his legs
and he became a she

[Cindy B]

No, really... hmm... I have to put my music thought cap on for a moment...

[Mermaid02]

HEY! Cindy cut in line!!! LINE MONITOR WHERE ARE YOU??

[Mermaid02]

Yours is Wild Side but I have NO IDEA who "sang" it.

[Cindy B]

I thought I had it right with Bryan Adams... sorry... we can play over it....


My typing was really fast, I type fast! :)

[olena]

Something To Believe In- Poison

[Cindy B]

Mermaid, you are close,... Its walk on the Wild Side..

[Mermaid02]

No..... but you are on the right track!!

[olena]

I am?

*thinks harder*

[Mermaid02]

Yep.... Let's just say I'm in a Brett Michael mood this morning!;)

[olena]

Oh, oh, oh! Every Rose Has Its Thorn!

[Mermaid02]

Yea Heather!! :D

[olena]

I've been phoning night and morning
I heard you say "tell him I'm not home"
Now you're confessing, But I'm still guessing
I've been your fool for so so long

[Mermaid02]

Huey Lewis and the News....... If this is it

[olena]

LOL....Maybe I should get obscure!

Y'all like RUN DMC???

[Cindy B]

If its a pop metal band I won't know it

[Mermaid02]

Someone take my turn.... I gotta take Jack to school!

[Cindy B]

ok Heather you want to duke it out for the turn? :)


Looks like we are the only one playing since Lorelei stepped out...


(I've never even heard Poison!)

[Cindy B]

Ok, I'll go...

"If you don't have Mojo Nixon
your store needs fixing"


This was one of my favorite songs, it truly described me...

[olena]

Chris gets an assist on this one!


Punk Rock Girl- Dead Milkmen???

[Cindy B]

ooh, Olena.. you are GOOD!

I love that song... they talk about one of my favorite hangouts as a kid, Zipperhead on South Street, Philly...

Now, no cheating now... you really know all these songs?

[olena]

I know many of them. My 80's folder in my mp3 directory is several GB on its own. I also have a lot of different stuff in there. Then there's Chris. He knows lots of songs, too.

[Cindy B]

OK Chris gets a gold star for knowing that one....

Zipperhead is no longer, RIP!

[olena]

As is Brad Nowell...not 80's, but I love Sublime.

[Cindy B]

Ok, I can't tell how refreshing it is to see others who actually share my taste... most of the time, I get looks like "I've never heard of any of those groups"....


Now back to the regularly scheduled lyric game, Heather you are up!

[olena]

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the whites of my eyes

[Cindy B]

Hm.... I need to think some more on this one...

[olena]

I have easy ones, but I used this one.

[Cindy B]

Still thinking.....

[Cindy B]

Ok, I'm officially braindead....


Hint, please...

[olena]

China Girl- David Bowie

Gotta stop for now....:D

[Cindy B]

DUH....!


I was never an 80's Bowie fan...(like the Ziggy Stuff!)

Now, anyone else want to play, post away....

[Pin Wizard]

Some things you can never choose
Even if you try yeah
You're bangin' your head again
Cause somebody won't let you in

[olena]

Heart- Never
It was on the tip of my tongue for an eternity.

[Pin Wizard]

That's right, Heather! Your turn. :teeth:

[olena]

Old St. Peter at the Pearly Gate,
Saying 'Hurry up, boy, or you're gonna be late'
