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'

"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

[Lars624]

Don't you want me

 

[Lars624]

Her goes my 1st try.....

I have a picture pinned to my wall
an image of you and me and we're laughing
with love at it all
