Name That Tune returns to the CB.

[WDWHound]

We haven't done this game in a while, so I thought I'd start it up again. The rules are simple. Post one or 2 lines of a song here. Whoever can name the song and the artist gets to post the next one (bonus points for knowing the year it came out).

I'll start us off with a simple one from a rather cheesy 70's song:

"In the heat of a summer night, in the land of the dollar bill"

 

[MosMom]

The Night Chicago Died - Paper Lace


"Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio"

Another cheesy but 80's song.

The Night Chicago Died, by Paper Lace. Don't remember the year, but do remember the purple checked bellbottoms I wore dancing to it!

Half my life is in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages

Now the dawn is breaking and we really gotta go

Here's Mine...

"Being good isn't always easy no matter how hard I tried"

 

[Beastlover]

Son Of A Preacher Man

"Warm beer and bread they say could raise the dead, well it reminds me of a menu at a Holiday Inn"

 

[Doctor P]

Could it be "Son of a Preacher Man"? The words are close at least.

If so, here's one:

"When the night returns just like a friend. When the evening comes to set me free..."

Cheeseburger in Paradise

Dear Sir or Madam will you read my book,
It took me years to write will you take a look,

Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information--please

The Thunder Rolls.....Mr Garth Brooks!!!! (gosh I love that song!!)

I want to run through the halls of my high school,
I want to scream at the top of my lungs

No Such Thing: John Mayer

Are you aware of what you make me feel baby
Right now I feel invisible to you right I'm not real

 

[MosMom]

Well, I woke up this morning, stumbled out of my rack
I opened up the paper to the page in the back

Mary Chapin Carpenter, I feel lucky

How Many Roads must a man walk down,
Before they call him a man?

Since the moment I spotted you
Walking round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with butterflies

Rewritten by machine and new technology"
