~*The Name Game...Song Style!*~

[Beanie]

Wanna play? Another game just to keep us going until more good news is announced!! :) I know you commandos get anxious and we don't want you to start climbing the walls in here!! ;):D

Okay, how this works...I will start and name a song, but <b>the song has to have a persons name in it</b>...For example:


<b>Sweet Caroline</b>

Then the next person has to name a song that has a name in it and so on....pretty easy, but you cannot repeat a song! That is the only rule...No repeats!! LOL

Okay, so who is next? :):)

[Barb]

Here's a couple more that came to me today:
Jesse's Girl-Rick Springfield
Elvira-Oak Ridge Boys (?)
Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes-Edison Lighthouse
Susudio-Phil Collins (yes,it's supposed to be a name) ;)
Amy-erg! just heard this the other day and can't think of who sings it. I know I know it.

[Towncrier]

We pause this thread a moment for a question.

What do the following songs have in common (besides the fact they they were performed by groups that only had one hit)?

Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) - Edison Lighthouse
My Baby Loves Lovin' - White Plains
Beach Baby - First Class
United We Stand - The Brotherhood of Man
Gimme Dat Ding - The Pipkins


BTW - "Mickey" is from one hit wonder (and choreographer) Toni Basil

[Barb]

Wild guess here-all written by the same person??

[Towncrier]

Good guess. But not the answer.

[Barb]

Can I have a hint?? ;)

[Towncrier]

Have you ever heard of Tony Burrows?

[Barb]

Well, another wild guess-they all had the same lead singer??

[Towncrier]

Ding ding ding. Close enough. Tony Burrows was lead singer for Edison Lighthouse, First Class, and White Plains. Did you ever notice how those three songs sound kinda similar (or at least the lead singer sounds similar). Tony Burrows was not lead singer for The Pipkins or The Brotherhood of Man, but he did sing with those groups as well.

Tony Burrows released a CD with the five songs that I listed in the question (along with some other followup songs by those groups). I own the CD, but I can't say that I've ever listened to the whole thing straight through.

Well, I successfully hijacked this thread for nearly half a day.

We now return you to the originally scheduled insanity.

[Barb]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. ;) When I made my first guess, it was either that question or the lead singer question. Those were the two things I had in mind. :) So, what's my prize?! ;) ;) ;) I think I still have a 45 of My Baby Loves Lovin! :teeth:

And, now back to our regularly scheduled thread:
Joanna-Kool and the Gang (or is it Johanna?)

[Nancy]

Barb,

Amy was by Pure Prarie League.

" Amy, what you gonna do? I swear, I could stay with you...."
That's why Dave and Bev named their daughter Amy...they loved the song.

[Fantasia Sam]

Well John I love Olivia Newton John and I really love that song so I am surprised I didn't name it but what about.......

I love you Samantha - Bing Crosby, film High Society, one of my all time favourite films and this is the song that I was named after my father absolutely adored Grace Kelly........now where's that kleenex.
