#9 is actor/singer Richard Harris's "MacArthur's Park" (Someone left the cake out in the rain). #2 is Escape but not sure who the artist was. #4 I'm not sure.

Oh good, no one has responded so, I'm changing gears. Let's go with something else. "Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner You know you got to help me out And when there's nowhere else to run Is there room for one more son These changes ain't changing me The gold-hearted boy I used to be"

"Work all night on a drink of rum."

I meant, on the album, the official title was "Baba O'Riley" because that's what was written on the cover. Thus, my usage of the past tense. No relation to the Swami Sali Maharishi Baba, or Sali Baba for short.

I was going to apologize for not being able to clear the table, but you didn't ask for that. OK, here's what I know, titles and artists.... 1) George Michael's "Careless Whisper." 2) Forgot the artist. 3) Chumbawumba's "Tub-thumping." 4) Forgot the title (we all know the artist.) 5) Tina Turner's "Proud Mary." 6) 4 Non-Blondes with "What's Up?" (To avoid confusion with Marvin Gaye's song.) 7) The Proclaimers, with "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" 8) Eric Carmen's "Make Me Lose Control". 9) No idea. 10) The Who's "Baba O'Riley". But I can't answer 2, 4, or 9, so if someone could finish clearing the table, for bragging rights?

I can do three of them (not including the freebie). I recognize some of the others but don't know teh actual names or artists. George

Mind if I jump in? There are a number of popular songs that I like to joke are known by the wrong name. These are songs where a lot of people genuinely believe this is the name (or they would be justified in believing so) but the name is actually something different. To win this round, correctly identify the REAL name of five songs, along with the artist (in cases of covers, either artist will do as long as it charted). 1. "Never Gonna Dance Again" 2. "If You Like Pina Coladas" 3. "I Get Knocked Down (But I Get Up Again)" 4. "I Feel Good." 5. "Rolling on the River" 6. "Hey, What's Going On?" 7. "I Would Walk 500 Miles" 8. "Turn the Radio Up!" 9. "Someone Left a Cake Out in the Rain." 10.... and of course... "Teenage Wasteland" (a freebie as it was a recent answer on another thread).

Every now and then we resurrect a topic I like to call "songs with the wrong name." I'm not going to look for it, but you know the songs. Hey, this might make a good everything trivia question.

"Haaaaaaave you met Ted?"

Of course. George

The offer of PDFs of VPW's letters to Way Corps is good until April 30, 2025 at 5 pm. Cheers!

The official title is "Baba O'Riley", not was. Neither was Teenage Wasteland ever the title. Named by Pete Townshend who drew inspiration from Indian guru Meher Baba and composer Terry Riley.

As would the International Israelite Board of Rabbis. https://www.blackjews.org/synagogues/

The Rastafarians would like a word.

The Adventures of Superman

Human, if you don't answer, I will.

That would be The Who with "Teenage Wasteland." (The official title was "Baba O'Riley".) First song on "Who's Next".

had no idea thx.

If anyone wants the 8 PDF files I made of VPW's letters to the Way Corps (1977 - 1981), let me know in a message, and I'll email them to you. They show beyond a doubt his manipulative tactics... and more! They are an historical record of many disturbing events. Among other things, you'll see the letter I quote in Undertow showing his denigration of certain eighth Way Corps guys for challenging his research. They are too large to upload here on GSC, otherwise I would've done that. I should probably limit how long I can keep emailing these to people. Let's say the offer is good until April 30, 2025 at 5 pm :-). Cheers!

If anyone wants the 8 PDF files I made of VPW's letters to the Way Corps (1977 - 1981), let me know in a message, and I'll email them to you. They show oh so much of his manipulative mind ... and more! Among other things, you'll see the letter I quote in Undertow showing his denigration of certain eighth Corps guys for challenging his research.

And it all comes down to you Well you know that it does And lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice Oh, and it lights up the night

Out here in the fields, I fought for my meals, I got my back into my living.

Ahhh… the ol’ Truth in History Ministry of Owasso, OK. Among their BELEEFS, this is my favorite: WE BELIEVE that the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Celtic, Scandinavian and related peoples are the only people that fulfill all the prophetic earmarks that identify them with being the literal physical descendants of the ancient people of Old Testament history known as Israelites (Genesis Chapters 48 & 49; Deuteronomy 7:6-8) There’s a video on their channel called “St. Paul’s Visit to Britain - Tracing the Footsteps.” Just a tremendous Biblical truth, I’m sure. It appears they have out-researched Bullinger and Wierwille. And another video called “Confederate Revival in the American Civil War.” Soooo… they’ve got that going for them.

I'm so glad that if I ever heard this cr@p [resurrection/rising], I've forgotten it. But likely, I never heard of it. TWI had found some other atom to try splitting, with nonsensical purpose. If there's a resurrection/rising, or rapture, or whatever, then it's beyond my puny capabilities to affect it. Therefore, I will expend my energies on something more useful in the here and now... ... helping the disadvantaged, the homeless, those with little in this life. Those with too much trouble in this life. Those with no hope and nothing to look forward to.
