Bump. If no one gets it soon, I'll post the answer.

"Firefly"? George

It was, indeed, "The Lawrence Welk Show." Your turn. George

Good guess, but completely wrong genre. A-one, anna-two, anna-three! George

"I Am a Rock" Why do birds suddenly appear, ev'ry time you are near? George

"Piano Man" Here we come, walking down the street... (I think it was released as a single.) George

Similar to "Back to the Future," but I don't recognize this one. George

Well, I DID see "American Beauty" on cable. I wouldn't have guessed it won a "Best Picture" Academy Award, but then, its closest rival "Cider House Rules," was even MORE artsy-fartsy. :lol: George

I wasn't being harsh. I'm glad someone new is playing! It's quite possible the Bro Speed thought the song was a gimme. I'm sure there are a number of songs which I would recognize immediately but would have you scratching your head. It's ALSO possible that he didn't know the rules of the thread... George

Just a reminder: in THIS thread, the idea is to pick a song so easy that it can be recognized from a single line (generally, the first, unless it contains the title). "Name That Tune" is for more challenging entries. Of course, what may be obvious to one poster may be completely off another's radar. MY "wheelhouse" is 50's-70's rock, with some pre-2000 country. I'll get the occasional 80's+ rock tune, but not often. I suspect that WordWolf is up. George Just googled "Bat Out of Hell," which did sound familiar. It WAS 70's. But I STILL didn't recognize the song! :)

Most movies that win Best Picture are too artsy-fartsy for me. I'm not sure what was the last "Best Picture" that I actually saw. George

No, it's "The Rain, the Park, and Other Things." Bro Speed is up. George

Billy Bob Thornton Monster's Ball Halle Berry George

I remember ST:TAS, mostly from the new characters, Eryx and M'Ress. I haven't seen it in almost 40 years, though, so I don't remember any coloration problems. Anyway This was one of the longest-running TV shows in (American) history. It was originally titled, "The Dodge Dance Party." Hint: NOT "American Bandstand." George

A womanizing, substance-abusing choreographer helps a Jewish cantor break into show business. Stars Roy Scheider and Neil Diamond. George

I remember the Richard Benjamin show, probably more because of the Barnstable twins than anything else. I think it was a garbage ship. "Quark," I think. George The others don't ring a bell, but I suspect at least one of them will garner a when revealed.

"His Girl Friday the 13th"? George

Yep. "Police Woman" starred Angie Dickinson as Sgt. Suzanne "Pepper" Andeerson. Obviously, you don't want your gorgeous star wearing standard police blues. How do you get her in tight minidresses? Send her undercover as a prostitute, of course! This wasn't the plot of EVERY show, of course; but it was a fairly significant fraction! WW is up. George

Gabriel Byrne End of Days Kevin Pollack George

It is a song by the Cowsills, about a flower girl, but that's not the title. The title of this song contains elements from the lyrics, but the title itself is not in the lyrics of the song. If no one else gets it today, I'll post the answer and give it to Brother Speed. George

THAT's the one. Your go. George

I was going to wait for BroSpeed's confirmation, but I am pretty sure it's right. I love the flower girl oh I don't know just why she simply caught my eye I love the flower girl she seems so sweet and kind she crept into in my mind George

Yes, it would have, especially because "A Time to Kill" was about southern lawyers defending a black man. But it's not the one I'm looking for. At this point, feel free to google "Tom Berenger Sidney Poitier." That should do it. :) George

Sean Young Blade Runner Harrison Ford George

Don't recognize it. George
