Name that tune...

[KayleeUK]

How about ......

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife

???

 

[UKDEB]

Yes, Kaylee - spot on.

 

[GO2209]

Now that is a 'classic'! Rocket Man - Elton John...

 

[WDWfan uk]

Beat me to it!!

How about this? From an absolute classic!

"There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven"

 

[GO2209]

Aarrghhh.... Not stairway to heaven!?!!! Nooooo....

The only version I can stand is the Rolf Harris cover!

 

[WDWfan uk]

You prefer Rolf Harris's version?? Oh dear !!!

Yes, it's Stairway To Heaven........ and I love it

C'mon - your turn to post lyrics

 

[Peebee]

How about these - should keep everyone busy for, oh, 5 mins

Number 1
I catch a paper boy
But things don’t really change
I’m standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye

Number 2
Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight

And for all the old (not new ) romantics out there...number 3:
I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too
But what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart

The first one is by David Bowie... Something Love.... I will wake up at three in the morning suddenly remembering the title!

The second one is 'Missing You' by Tina Turner.

The third one... Erm, not a clue! Guess I'm more 'new romantic' the simply romantic... The lyrics look quite nauseating, hate to image the accompanying tune!!

Hmm... Not sure if I qualify to submit a couple of suggestions, but for those that remember the 80s...

A nice easy one....
"All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance, dont you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino."

and a rather abstract one... (and extremely repetative!)
"wunderbar"

 

[Peebee]

I'll put you out of your misery!!

1st one is Modern Love by Bowie, 2nd one is correct, although the John Waite version is the one I know. 3rd one is Air Supply, All Out Of Love. Was playing when DW and I met, so kind of our song (slushy but memorable)

Domino one is Walk Like an Egyptian by the Bangles - good video for that, I seem to remember. Is wunderbar by Tenpole Tudor or something like that ?

[GO2209]

I am impressed - especially with the ten pole tudor. Blimey - I wouldn't fancy meeting you at the next pub quiz! My party piece is recognising music by the first few bars. But I bow before your galactic knowledge of bad music!

Hmm... okay one last one (this thread could become a very long duel!)

"Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on its way"

 

[Peebee]

I seem to remember singing the Tenpole Tudor song in a pub in the past....but I was very very drunk

You got me on the last one - sounds familiar, but I don't think I know it - do tell, it will bug me all night otherwise...

Paul

 

[GO2209]

Yellow - 'The Race'

Eureka - I scored a point

Funny, when I last got drunk enough to attempt to sing, the song of choice was Mustang Sally... Even more strange, I cannot recollect the lyrics unless I am drunk!

 

[Peebee]

Doh!! Thank you

Cheers for the game - we must do it again some time

[Shugmac]

I was reading this thread and some of you are quite good at guessing the lyrics my DH sent me a quiz that was going round his work and i got most of them but some stumped me if anyone would like to give it a go i could email it to you maybe you could have better luck than me.

[Peebee]

Love to have a go Sharon - you should have a PM with my email address. Thanks
