I have no idea of the name of the song, but I listended to it in the 70's.
i think the title was the last night. some of the lyrics were
its the last time I saw your face
the last time I kissed your lips.
Gosh, i can hear it in my head, but my fingers are refusing to cooperate.

"Stand By Me" -- Ben E. King


:earseek:

Deb!!! Ben E. King a ONE HIT WONDER??????

He was my Mom's all time favorite singer next to Brook Benton! :teeth:

Besides being a member of the Drifters for years he had MANY hits, including Save the Last Dance for Me, Spanish Harlem, Supernatural Thing, and my personal fave, the "Boll Weevil Song"!

Ben E King was a BIG part of my growing up and deserves way more than to be called a One Hit Wonder. In my world he's a STAR! :bounce:

and tell DH that Chubby Checker wasn't one EITHER!!


sorry, old woman getting off her high horse....
 
I think it was a one hit wonder....

Take on me by Aha

CS,

I like CottonEyed Joe too!
 
Debbie - I don't recognize the song, but I found the following lyrics to a song named "Anyway" by a group called Family:

Anyway-

The last time I saw your face
There were tears in your eyes
The last time I kissed your lips
I did not realize
The last time I pulled you close
You could not let me go
The last time would be the last time
How could I know

If there is any way
You could see me
Any way
You could be with me
Any way
You could hold me
Any way
Anytime, anywhere, eternally
Any way

Sometimes when we turn life’s page
The words aren’t right
Instead of closing the book
Just close your eyes
And dream of another place
Set your heart at ease
Cause though you’ll be all alone
You will be with me

If there is any way
You could see me
Any way
You could be with me
Any way
You could hold me
Any way
Anytime, anywhere, eternally
Any way

The last time I saw your face
There were tears in your eyes
The last time I kissed your lips
I did not realize
The last time I pulled you close
You could not let me go
The last time would be the last time
The last time would be the last time
 
I like 'No Rain' by BLind Melon also

How about

RUmors--TImex Social Club

"Invisible" - Clay Aiken

Actually, that's just a bit of wishful thinking. :teeth: I don't care for the song.

OK, now I'll just be ducking away from all the Clay fans! :duck: Sorry...couldn't resist.

One Night in Bangkok was by Murray Head..

Wham had a few more hits....They had Careless Whisper....Okay maybe that IS it...lol
 
Murry Head sang that song(FIY,he's also kin to Giles on Buffy:) )
 
Der Komissar--After the Fire

I have the "original" CD by Falco (who died in a motorcycle accident a while back) which also has "Rock Me Amadeus" on it. Most of the CD is sung in German.

Here's just a few of my faves:

I'll Always Love My Mama by the Intruders

Mexican Radio by Wall of Voodoo

Drivers Seat by Sniff n The Tears:

Doing alright
A little jiving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away

Jenny was sweet
Show a smile for the people she needs
I'm trouble, let's drive,
I don't know the way you came alive

News is blue (the news is blue)
Has its own way to get to you
What can I do (what can I do)
When I remember my time with you

Pick up your feet
Got to move to the trick of the beat
There is no lead
Just take your place in the driver's seat

Driver's seat, oohoo, driver's seat, yeah

Doing alright
A little jiving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away

Driver's seat, oohoo, driver's seat, yeah

Jenny was sweet
There is no lead
Pick up your feet, pick up, pick up
Pick up your feet, gonna dance the day away

Driver's seat, oohoo, driver's seat, yeah
Driver's seat, oohoo, driver's seat, yeah
Driver's seat...
 
Silly me. I thought I would be the only one to think of One Night in Bangkok.:bounce:

I also like The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats,

Turning Asian-American (for the PC Crowd :jester: ) by the Vapors

Pass the Dutchie by Musical Youth

and of course Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer by Elmo and Patsy

WAIT!!!!! How did I forget Bad Boys by Inner Circle (the "Cops" song)?
 
Turning Asian-American (for the PC Crowd ) by the Vapors

LOL! Somehow singing "I'm turning Asian-American, I think I'm turning Asian-American I really think so" isn't as catchy! ;)
 
Here's a few more I thought of:

Ready to Go by Republica

and

Push the Little Daisies and Make them Come Up by Ween
 
"Come On Eileen" - Dixie's Midnight Runners (or something like that)
 
Cars by Gary Numan
Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks
Rock Me Gently by Andy Kim
Pop Musik by M
Hot Child in the City by Nick Gilder
