Guess The Song Game

[Imladris]

A song quote game, Soomebody gives a quote froma song, afew lines or so, somebody guesses which song its from, if right, original quote giver verifies and the quote answerer turns into the quote giver.

I'll begin,
"...And all the peo-ple that come and go---- stop and say----'hello'. ..."

Can you guess it?
After three incorrect guesses I'll give a hint, after a further three, the answer and a new quote.

[azalea]

Penny Lane, The Beatles.

[Katt_knome_hobbit]

Guess this one:

So he says he gotta girl, yeah it's true you gotta man

It's pretty new

[IronParrot]

Destiny's Child, "Jumpin', Jumpin'"

Guess:
'Twas one long year today
I left Bournemouth and you
Adventure, salt and spray
King's service I must do

[Imladris]

Penny Lane was right, don't know about yours tough IronP.

[azalea]

Let's see if I can stump anybody:

"you and I've been in love too long to worry about tomorrow"

[aldesign]

these are really tough,
erm... nope idea,
ill come back, when ive got some brains / music knowledge

[Khamûl]

Iron Parrot, is yours "Dear Christine" by Klaatu?

[azalea]

Hints on mine: song is from 1980, done by a band beginning with the letter A.

[Imladris]

Azalea- A wild guess-Summer Night City by ABBA?

[azalea]

No... More hints: the song title has 4 words, the band's name is a sweet food.

[Lizra]

Hmmm, What country is the band from, Girls or guys?, what "style" is the music?

[BeardofPants]

AC/DC?

[Lizra]

Ambrosia? I just remember that name, not the music ???

[StrawberryIcecream]

Sugababes?

[azalea]

Lizra has the band right -- Ambrosia. Can anyone guess the song?

[Lizra]

I get a blank Was it a radio hit? I could research it but that's no fun, so if nobody knows, start leaking words and maybe more memory will kick in.

[BeardofPants]

You're the only woman. Ambrosia.

[azalea]

Very good BOP! Your turn!

[BeardofPants]

Yay!

"And they hide their faces
And they hide their eyes
'Cause the city's dyin'
And they don't know why"

[Lizra]

I don't know! (whines) give me clues! I only know old stuff mostly though.

[BeardofPants]

Okay, okay. No takers?

Well, it IS an oldie, and here is the clue:

The song is composed by someone who has made it quite big in the movie composing industry....

[Lizra]

Hmmm, Danny Elfman?(Oingo Boingo) Nah, that doesn't sound like him, I don't watch movies! I am/know oldies only.Come on somebody else,step up! Oh, Randy Newman?

[BeardofPants]

Yep, good one, Lizra! It is indeed Randy Newman. Now what song?

[Lizra]

I've got to go get my hearing aid checked now, some young movie goer should get this easily!

[Imladris]

Well, of no one else is going...

"Half-past twelve and I'm watching the late show in my bed all alone, how I hate to spend the evening on my own."

[BeardofPants]

Mine was Randy Newmans "Baltimore", btw.

[Imladris]

gimmie, gimmie, gimmie (a man after midnight)by ABBA.

[Lizra]

We could narrow this to Beatles lyrics, making it a little easier??

"It's so fine, It's sunshine"

[BeardofPants]

The Word! :)

[BeardofPants]

Okay, sticking to Beatles lyrics, so that it will make it easier:

The less one knows,
The less one knows.

[Erawyn]

The inner light?? does it have to be just beatles??

[BeardofPants]

Originally posted by Erawyn

Yep, and nope. It's just easier if you choose someone as popular as the beatles. If it's too obscure, then people will ignore thread for another couple of months.

[azalea]

Since it's been over 24 hrs...

The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me; it won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me..

[Lizra]

Raindrops keep falling on my head, from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,

[azalea]

That's right! written by Burt Bacharach, performed by B.J. Thomas

[Erawyn]

Since i guessed one correctly can i post one?

Cover of the magazines, patron saint to troubled teens
wish I never heard your name

[BeardofPants]

Trebel Charger - American Psycho.

[Lizra]

"Well, You're built like a car, you've got a hubcap diamond star halo"

[azalea]

Get it On (Bang a Gong), T-Rex.

"Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air, and deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves the echo of the distant tide comes willowing across the sand..."

This is one of my favorite songs.

[BeardofPants]

Pink Floyd's Meddle? More specifically, Echoes?

[azalea]

Very good! I thought for sure I'd have to give a hint, since that one's pretty obscure! Your go.

[BeardofPants]

I just downloaded the Meddle album recently (great album! :)), and I had to give it a quick listen before I could narrow it down to Echoes. :o (Hence the edit)

"Just get me to the airport
And put me on a plane"

(Lizra, you should recognise this! :))

[azalea]

Ooh, ooh (Horseshack)! Another of my favorite songs! No Expectations, The Rolling Stones!

How about an easy one?

"The killer awoke before dawn. He put his boots on and he walked on down the hall"

[BeardofPants]

Sorry, Azalea, wrong song, wrong group! :) And yours is The End by the Doors.

Later edit: I checked out those lyrics btw, and they're *very* close, but there's a subtle word difference b/n the stones song, and the one I'm after. Didn't mean for it to be a trick question! :D

[azalea]

WHAT!? Oh, well, sorry for jumping the gun on that one. Hmm, not Leaving on a Jet Plane by Peter Paul and Mary? Don't have any other guesses.

Edit in answer to your edit: Yes, now that I think about it, I remember that it's something like " Take me to the airport and put me on a plane."

[BeardofPants]

Nope, not Peter, Paul & Mary. You were closer with the Stones in terms of style.

[Lizra]

Right off the top of my head I'd have to say...."I Wanna Be Sedated" Ramones :)

[BeardofPants]

Bingo! :)

[Lizra]

OK :) Jersey Devil might know this one....


I had skin like leather and the diamond hard look of a cobra,
I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a super nova.

Here's lyric "B" if nobody knows the above!

I have watched you on the shore,
Standing by the ocean roar, :)

[Erawyn]

surfer girl?

[Lizra]

Yes! :) love those Beach Boys.......The first one was (It's hard to be a ) "Saint in the City", from Bruce Springsteens "Greetings From Asbury Park" debut LP.

Pick a winner!

[Erawyn]

this is one of my fave songs!!!

It's a longshot,
She's got a troop and a tongue for a slingshot,
But she's takin' steady aim
At the bigshots

[BeardofPants]

Marcy Playground - Comin' Up From Behind.

[azalea]

Hey, since you've gotten no response, let's just assume you're correct, and post another quote.

[BeardofPants]

Hmm. Okay:

"Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone..."

[azalea]

The Times They Are A-Changin'; Bob Dylan.

[BeardofPants]

Yup. (Are we the only ones playing?! :D)

[azalea]

Apparently so:D ! so this one's just for you!;)

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away;
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air.

[Lizra]

I'm playing too, but I don't know that! Bop???

[BeardofPants]

Pink Floyd's "Sheep"!! :D :D :D

[azalea]

THAT'S RIGHT!:) I couldn't resist.

[BeardofPants]

:)

"Holly came from Miami, Fla
Hitchhiked her way across the USA.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her leg and then he was she - she said:"

[azalea]

Hey, Babe, it's Take a Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed.

...it's hard to keep a good man down,
but I won't be getting up today.
And it's getting very hard to stay.

[azalea]

More of the lyrics as a hint:

So the graduations hang on the wall,
But they never really helped us at all,
No, they never told us what was real:
Iron and coal, chromium steel.

[Lizra]

I have no clue on these! :) BoP?

[BeardofPants]

Me either. :confused: Is it Billy Joel?

[azalea]

Yes! It's Billy Joel. Need a hint on the song?

[azalea]

Okay, here's a hint: It came out in 1982.

[Lizra]

Allentown?

[Bregalad]

Deffinately Allentown. I love Billy Joel.

So the graduations hang on the wall,
But they never really helped us at all,
No, they never told us what was real:
Iron and coal, chromium steel.
and we're waiting here in Allentown
But they've taken all the coal from the ground
and the union people crawled away...

[azalea]

Right, Lizra! Your turn.

[Lizra]

OK!!

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see

[katya]

these are really hard! i guess i listen to the wrong music but i got the treble charger too bad that was a long time ago

[BeardofPants]

Stones Beast of Burden?

[Lizra]

Yes!! You're too good ....... I wanted to give the hint, Rich, Ugly, Old men, oh well, Picking lyrics that all the styles and generations might know is tricky, Your go BoP. :)

[BeardofPants]

:D

"And when I'm out I see you walking
Why don't your eyes see me..."

[Lizra]

Don't know it! Surely someone else???

[azalea]

That's the Way, Led Zeppelin!

Oh, goody goody, I have a good one!

"Hush, now, child,
And don't you cry;
Your folks might understand you
By and by."

[azalea]

A hint:

It's an individual artist (as opposed to a group).

[Lizra]

I have no clue on those! Hope someone else does. Azalea, we have lots in common, but not music I guess :D. I never know your lyrics!

[BeardofPants]

I'm befuzzled too, which is annoying because the lyrics vaguely remind me of something.

[azalea]

Okay, some final hints, then I'll give it away if no one guesses.

It's a soul song from the seventies. Artists initials are CM.

Song title is included in the lyrics following those given above (3 word title):

Just __ __ __
Toward your destination,
Though you might find
From time to time
Complication.

[Lizra]

Need more! Is it male or female, Is the artist black, Is it a slow ballad?

[Bregalad]

That's Move On Up- by Curtis Mayfield

Hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Move on up towards your destination
You may find from time to time
Complications

[Bregalad]

Hmmm...I was waiting for Azalea to tell me if that was right, I'm pretty sure it is. Then I got to worrying that you all were waiting for me to put up the next lyrics! I have come to the conclusion that I worry too much!:confused: So I'm going to put up the next lyrics, and if I'm wrong y'all can just ignore me:p

This one should be pretty easy, but it's my fav bit of lyrics!

Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting, I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

Like Kurasawa, I make mad films
Okay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai

[azalea]

(You were right. I've no idea on yours.)

[Bregalad]

I'll give a hint after a few more people give it a try. Although I'm sure someone will know it. It's still pretty popular. LOL I guess I gave a hint after all!

[BeardofPants]

From the lyrics, I'm guessing a modern song. I don't do modern. :D But I'll take a wild stab in the dark...

Bare naked ladies?

[Bregalad]

Yes, it's Barenaked Ladies, but you have to name that tune!
I like all kinds of music, from old folk tunes to swing to blues to regae to classical to rock to showtunes to irish pub songs, and everything else you can think of. I think there is excellent music in all the genres and I love broadening my horizons with all the different types of music this amazingly diverse world has.
As for the Barenaked Ladies song, any song that mentions Kurasawa gets points from me. I like that song because it is clever, and pure fun.

[HobbitChick88]

Is that One Week?

[Khamûl]

Dang. Too bad I didn't wander into this thread earlier. The lyrics in question are in fact from "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies, one of my favorite groups. Just thought I'd let you know that between BoP and HobbitChick88 you got it right. Carry on.

[Bregalad]

Woooo-Hooooo! You got it right! I'm just glad some people besides me know that song. Barenaked Ladies is an excellent group. Your turn Hobbitchick88, what are the new mystery lyrics????

[HobbitChick88]

Yaay!! Okay, Hope this'un isn't too easy (or too hard for that matter ;))

Last night they loved you, opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
Come get up my baby
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Come get up my baby

[BeardofPants]

Whop! Whop! Whop!

Golden years! :D

[Lizra]

Hey! Where was I?? :)

[BeardofPants]

Not here when I snuck ahead of you? :p ;)

[HobbitChick88]

lol, yeah that's right! :D Yourn turn, BoP!

[BeardofPants]

Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all gone, but the pain lingers on.

[azalea]

Goodbye Blue Sky. Goodbye Bluuue sky, goodbye. Goodbye.
Pink Floyd.:)

"Come down off your throne and leave your body 'lone,
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key."

This one's an oldie.

[azalea]

Okay, I'll post a hint. One of the members of the band that does this song is the guy I picked as the guitarist of my ultimate band in the thread about our dream band (although I picked him with reservations).

[Lizra]

Azalea, What is that thread. My search with dream band, ultimate dream band, and ultimate band did not help me. Very time consuming!!! :)

[BeardofPants]

Try this link Lizra:

http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4878

Are you talking about Clapton, Azalea?

[BeardofPants]

Can't find my way home?

[azalea]

Right, but you have to name the band!:D

[BeardofPants]

*groan*

Now that's where I draw a blank...

[azalea]

Well, Clapton was in a few different bands, but the one that did this song had a two word name... Help any?

[BeardofPants]

Well that rules out the Yardbirds, and Cream...

Blind Faith?

[Lizra]

Derek and the Dominoes, and Delaney and Bonnie too. But I bet it's Blind Faith!! :)

[azalea]

Sorry about the delay! Yes, it's Blind Faith. Your turn, BoP!

[BeardofPants]

Every chance, every chance that I take
I take it on the road
Those kilometers and the red lights
I was always looking left and right

[azalea]

Hello! I'm back from my trip! I have no idea on this one -- since it's been so long, how about a hint?

[BeardofPants]

This album was written in Hamburg, after the artist had a nervous breakdown.

[Radagast The Brown]

I have no clue. I looked it in google and I found nothing

[Lizra]

Hamburg......hmmmm, Iggy? Famous nervous breakdowns, must think. :) Iggy was Berlin wasn't he, hmmm.

[BeardofPants]

Ooh, actually, I'm not sure if it was Hamburg... Let's just change the clue to Germany! :o :D

Another one to get the ball rolling; he associated with Iggy Pop.

[Radagast The Brown]

Maybe another hint? after three days know even posted. and if you want me to post you'll have to post a very big hint.

[Lizra]

All I can think of is Bowie, but these lyrics are none I know! :confused:

[BeardofPants]

Yup, it is Bowie. And it's from an album starting with "L"....

[Lizra]

Always Crashing in the Same Car???? Where's Rei when we need her.. :)

[BeardofPants]

Yup, that's it!

[Lizra]

Sorry it took so many hints! Give me a little time here to come up with something......

[Lizra]

Try this,

Late that night, I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar.
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor

A british band of the 70s/80s

Next hint: The first thing you hear on this song (that did recieve radio airplay!) are foot steps walking. Also, these GUYS are extremely cool, (as in swank and sophisticated).

[Radagast The Brown]

Lizra, could you give more hint?

[Lizra]

The Band's name has two words, they have a sax player.

OK, That one must be too obscure :) Try this:

Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
and make everybody feel high,
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth.........



Anduril, This is NOT a "God, no God" discussion. Song lyrics only :) :)

[johnnyrod]

Love Is The Drug by Roxy Music. Enough hints, I see!

Dunno about the second one, sounds a bit Amy Grant....

[Lizra]

Johnnyrod wins! I had given up on it. Cheers! The other song was "Get Up, Stand Up" by Bob Marley and the Wailers. Anyway, Pick some lyrics JR

[johnnyrod]

Okay, try this for size:

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry

I was kind of stuck between something very easy and total obscurity. And for a bonus point, who covered it?

[Khamûl]

That's "Under the Bridge" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. I don't know if they originally did it, or just covered it, but that's the version I'm familiar with.

[johnnyrod]

Damn! Far too easy. It was covered by All Saints. Your turn Khamul.

[Khamûl]

"Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire"

Here's a quick hint: it's from the 80's.

[BeardofPants]

Faithfully? By Journey?

[Khamûl]

Yep. That's the one. :)

[BeardofPants]

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity… Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday… Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday… Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday… We can be like they are

[Khamûl]

"Don't Fear the Reaper" by The Blue Oyster Cult.

That's weird because I was considering using that song for my last one. :eek:

[BeardofPants]

:D Figured you'd get that one. ;)

Your turn.

[Khamûl]

"Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow"

Shouldn't be too hard.:D

[BeardofPants]

Sweet Home Alabama! But there's been so many covers I have no idea who did the original version....

Lynyrd Skynyrd?

[Khamûl]

Right!:D Lynyrd Skynyrd originally did it. Your turn.:)

[azalea]

Since BoP never posted one, I'll go. This one is probably pretty obscure:

Trouble will not wreck my life
Someday you'll like what I'm putting down

[azalea]

Hm. I guess it was a little too obscure. Time Was by Canned Heat.

I'll open the floor to whoever wants to post a lyric.

[elvendrummer87]

when you say oldie, what decade?
it sounds familiar, but I can't put my finger on it...

[azalea]

Are you talking to me? I gave the answer to mine. Go ahead and post a lyric if you want.

[mirial]

New song- probably to easy
"Drowning deep in my sea of loathing*~*Broken your servant I kne-el"

[Aeryn]

Disturbed- Down with the sickness

So I'm running back and forth, from here to south carolina, wishin' you were here, I guess I should watch what I wish for.

[Aeryn]

Scratch that last quote, I don't even know who that by. grr!

Life is a waterfall, one in the river and one again after the fall.

[mirial]

SOAD, and its they're new song...can't remember the name.

[Aeryn]

yeah, okay go ahead and have it.

[mirial]

Burn me alive inside, Living my lifes not hard enough, take everything away.

[Dussander]

'Prayer' Disturbed.
Get off the disturbed topic and pick a different group.

they've come and get me again - the cloud is over my head.

(New band) (rock)

[Aeryn]

Breaking Benjamin, Polyamorous, Dussander.


~Mud bath acrobat a midnight drive~
~Everybody slipping everybody survive~

[Dussander]

White Zombie (or Rob, whatever the hell he is now) with Numb


I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion


Okay it is an oldie but a goodie.

[Lizra]

How sweet it is to be loved by you.......James Taylor? Is that the title or you the line?

[Dussander]

Lizra,
How Sweet it is to be loved by you. - James Taylor is correct!

Perhaps I made that to easy? (ponders)

[Lizra]

Better too easy than too hard! It's more fun to have lots of answers instead of a big DUH? This game is tough because of the different ages.

Since, since we've been together,
loving you forever,
is what I need......
Let me be the one you come running to'
I'll never be untrue

[mirial]

Tina Turner- Lets stay together

(or atleast one of the people who sang that...Eternal, and Al Green and someone else)????????????????????????

[Lizra]

Well, you got the song right, but AL GREEN did it originally! I just love him, oooh! I have all his albums. :)

Go on mirial, your pick!

[mirial]

Freedom came my way one day, And I started out of town

Sorry I can't give you more, but it would give it away.

Anyway, I am trying to stick with oldies.

[Lizra]

Me and Bobby McGee? Janis Joplin

[mirial]

Nope, try again.

Need a hint?

A man sang it. Hope that helps.

[BeardofPants]

Marley's I shot the sherrif?

[azalea]

Maybe something by Dylan?

[mirial]

BoP, No and Yes.

Eric Clapton (did he sing it first? I don't know. But that is who I got it from) in I shot the sheriff

Your song quote.

[Dussander]

Well since no one said a quote I will.


This is probably way to easy but.

"West Virginia, Mountain mama."

[azalea]

TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROAD, JOHN DENVER!!

[Lizra]

(Lizra tries to remeber the lyrics out of THE BLUE)

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shanendoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees
younger than the______ blowin in the breeze

Trees and breeze are a guess?? I have a feeling I could rewrite this song from memory, all wrong! :D

[Dussander]

Correct azalea post your quote.

[BeardofPants]

Hey, you gotta give me a chance to get home from work, dammit! :mad:

[azalea]

Again the morning's come
Again he's on the run
Sunbeam shinin' through his hair
Appearin' not to have a care.
Well, pick up your gear and, Gypsy, roll on. Roll on.

[Dussander]

Gypsy woman by Brien Hyland?

[azalea]

Nope, try again!

[Lizra]

I could hear those lyrics with a Hendrix style delivery!

[azalea]

Hey, I could, too! Too bad he didn't live longer -- he could have done a version of it. :) Didn't he have a song or album with gypsy in the title?

Maybe I shouldn't have capitalized the word "gypsy" in the lyric. It seems to be a little misleading. It's NOT the person's name. It's what the singer is calling the character in the song.

[Dussander]

Oh, I see.
Mine was just a shot in the dark anyway. It had Gypsy.

[azalea]

I'll give a hint, then if no one guesses I'll give the answer.

The genre of music is "Southern rock," and the band member who wrote the song said in concert that this is the best song he ever wrote.

[Lizra]

Oh! I never did cotton much to that Southern Rock! :) (except the Allman Bros) So...whozit? Lynyrd Skynyrd? Marshall Tucker Band? Charlie Daniels Band? Was Kansas Southern Rock? Headeast? I can't think of any others. What defined Southern Rock, besides "good ole hippie boys"! The long jam? At LEAST 2 lead guitars (dueling in the long jam)? A song with the word Boogie in it, on every album, hmmm, what else. Oh yeah, the guys always had long hair, well into the eighties, but NO hair spray! Sorry for rambling on! :)

[azalea]

Actually, the lyrics are from a song by The Allman Brothers Band: Melissa. Why don't you go ahead since you mentioned them in your post?

[Lizra]

Ha! Very funny! It' was the band I liked! :) OK !

I like to dream, yes, yes
right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound, I drift in the night
Anyplace it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
To the stars away from here.

[Philia]

SteppenWolf - Magic Carpet Ride...


Am I right?

[Lizra]

Yes! From the band that gave us the best movie/song match up...Easy Rider and Born to Be Wild! Ah! :) Your pick Philia. :)

[Philia]

Okay thank you Lizra.

Where did all the blue sky go? Poison is the wind that blows

[Lizra]

Marvin Gaye, mercy mercy me?

[Philia]

GRRRRRR, yeah, Also known as the Ecology.

[Lizra]

Ok! A band from Texas....

I would walk ten miles on my hands and knees
Ain't no doubt about it baby It's you I aim to please
I'd wrestle with a lion and a grizzley bear
It's my life baby, but I don't care.

Hint: The band is named after a car.
Hmmmm, this one might be too Tuff! (that'a another hint!)

[Lizra]

I'll leave the above song open for extra credit! :D
Let's try this....

Maybe someday, You'll see my face among the crowd

Maybe someday' I'll share your little distant cloud

[Philia]

*shakes head* I haven't the slightest.

[Lizra]

Hmmm, I thought you might know it since you liked Marvin! This person was an golden age Motown artist also. Someone will get it!

[Hasty Ent]

is the band from Texas ZZ Top?

[Lizra]

Which song Hasty Ent. I really don't think either one was in Last Waltz. The extra credit one (cobra snake for a necktie would fit right in it! probably the blues roots) is newer than that, the Motown one, nah! :) In the extra credit one, the lead guitarist had a brother who was greatly admired for his open ended, rockin blues guitar. Unfortunately he died way too young in a plane crash! (mega hints :D )

No, not ZZ Top, a car is in the name.....

[Hasty Ent]

found it -- in the cobwebby recesses of my poor little brain

Tuff Enuff
The Fabulous Thunderbirds
lyrics by Kim Wilson


Yes??

[Lizra]

Oh Yes!!! I love that macho sound! Well, now the Motown artist is extra credit. Your turn Hasty.

[Hasty Ent]

a favorite song by a favorite artist (male) has this chorus

It's so cold in Alaska
it's so cold in Alaska
It's so cold in Alaska

another hint -- the song is from 1973

[Lizra]

I'm drawing a blank on that one. Azalea needs to play!

[Hasty Ent]

well, here's another stanza:


But she's not afraid to die
all her friends call her "Alaska"
When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her


more hints tomorrow, if necessary...time to go home and go to sleep!!!

[Lizra]

Sounds like something Lou reed might say, but the lyrics don't sing in my head!

[Hasty Ent]

you're right! Lou Reed is my all time favorite, and that song is called "Caroline Says II." It's from Berlin, for my money a perfect album... PM me if you want the rest of the lyrics:)

[Lizra]

Oh NO!!!! I was right! :D, Now I've got to come up with more Lyrics! :eek: I'm playing this game on Xenite General topics also. It's getting tuff (ha ha) The hardest part is picking the lyrics! Not the guess. Lou Reed always has those drug/rush references. How about "Metal Machine Music"! Nice lyrics on that one! heehee. Give me a little while, and I'll give a clue.

[Hasty Ent]

I LOVE Metal Machine Music! I've listened to it start to finish many times -- guess I just can't get enough of that feedback!:D

[Lizra]

My goodness Hasty! Did a little too much headbanging ehh! :)

New lyrics, (those Motown ones are still floating a few posts back)

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin

[johnnyrod]

London Calling by The Clash. Good choice.

[Lizra]

YES!!!! Johnnyrod! Whew! :) Now, you make pick some nice lyrics for us!

[GandalfTheWhite]

since no one has posted in a few days im gonna start a new song

"shaken like a dog shi**en razer blades, waken up next to nothin after dreamin of you and me, im waking up all alone waking up so alone"

[azalea]

I think someone should post a new quote here.

[johnnyrod]

Well, I was robbed of my opportunity, so here's another go:

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow

[azalea]

I have no guess. What's the answer?

[johnnyrod]

Go on, take a guess. They're a band that have been seen in only their socks.

[BeardofPants]

Oh god, Blink 182?

[Coney]

Red Hot Chilli Peppers!!..........if you can fill a sock, might as well wear it;)

[Lizra]

Darn, I would have got that socks bit in a second! For awhile there, the Chili Pepper "Behind the Music" was a weekly feature on VH1! Enough already! :) Let's see, Best buds in high school make a "mystical" connection on stage, wear tube socks on private parts, mom laughs, groupie drinks underwear sweat, the fools in the band discover heroin, death, strung out, success and money keep coming anyway, the drugged fools finally figure out they are rich rock guys, in the lap of luxury, and live their life the real way. Enough already! (sorry) :)

[johnnyrod]

Lizra.... what? Anyway, it's guess the song, not guess the band. Come on, chaps!

[azalea]

By the Way.

My turn!

"When I get offa this mountain
Ya know where I wanna go"

[Lizra]

That "Up on Cripple Creek" song by The Band?

[azalea]

Wow, that was quick! I kind of figured you'd be the one to guess it.:)

[Lizra]

Dag! Ha! Ok, off the top of my head...

Our love is like a ship on the ocean, we'll go sailing with a cargo full of....Love and Devotion!
So I'd like to know where, you got the notion, yes I'd like to know where, you got the notion....

This song was the herald of the disco era, on radio, (IMO). I love to sing it!

[BeardofPants]

"Rock the Boat"

But I have NO idea who it's by....

[Lizra]

Who hoa! Not bad, considering where you were in 1975! (or was that 76?) :D It's The Hues Corporation, I believe! :)
Then the next "dawn of disco" hit seemed like that one where that guy sang "Woman, take me in your arms, rock me baby....with that catchy little guitar riff. Anyone wanna do "The Bump"?
Pick a good one BoP!

[BeardofPants]

I think I might have been a wee egg in 1975. :D

This one should be easy:

I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away

[Lizra]

Sounds like Procol Harem's Whiter Shade of Pale, But I'm just guessing! :confused:

[BeardofPants]

Good guess. :)

Interesting sig. :D

[Lizra]

All right folks....LETS PARTY!!!!!

"You show us everything you got,
you keep on dancing, and the room gets hot,
you drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy..."

:rolleyes: :D

[Hasty Ent]

I want to rock'n'roll all night...and party every day???

but can't remember who... if in fact I'm thinking of the same song????

[Lizra]

Oh my! Gene Simmons would be disappointed you don't remember the name of the band! They had an ARMY! Maybe if I clonked you with a giant black and silver platform shoe, The name might come to you? :) :D

[Hasty Ent]

KISS KISS KISS --- aargh...never liked 'em I'm afraid. Preferred the New York Dolls. Personality Crisis was my anthem for awhile...:D

I'll assume I'm right, so here's my challenge -- although I bet you get it straight away, Lizra:

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president ...

[BeardofPants]

California Uber Alles by the Dead Kennedys?

[Curunír]

I think also California über alles, by the Dead Kennedy's. Correction: I now it for sure! :D
Now my challenge:

Why is God still protecting me
even when I don't deserve it?

[Lizra]

Hey! I never said I liked KISS! :D They were hilarious though! I saw their show once in the 70's, the rotating drum riser way up high with sparks shooting out was TOO much!! I love the Dolls too! "Stranded in the Jungle", baby! :)

[Hasty Ent]

Whoa, I should've checked back sooner....:o
What's correct procedure here? BoP got it right before Curunir. Shouldn't she be posting the next song? Sorry, guys, I should've logged on sooner...

And Lizra, I never believed you were a KISS fan...you are way too hip for that;) .

[BeardofPants]

Yes, she should, but Curunir can go.

[Curunír]

Whoops! Forgot it! Sorry, Beardofpants....can you ever forgive me? :( Of course it's your turn now.

[BeardofPants]

Nah, it's okay, you can go. I've already had heaps of turns. :D

Your lyrics:

Why is God still protecting me
even when I don't deserve it?

[Lizra]
