"Momma Told Me not to Come" by Three Dog Night They say there's seven wonders in the world But what they say is out of date There's more than seven wonders in the world I just met number eight George

This is a country tune. It made the singer very popular for about two weeks. His daughter actually has a better career, now. George

You're up. Whatever. George

Well, it could have been "Spartacus." But it wasn't. "Conan the Barbarian" it is. If I had to make it easy, I would have used: "What is best in life?" "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women." Your go. George

Well the first post says: after perusing Name that tune topic I started thinking of songs that we remember from the first line. title not in first line. since it's my topic I'll go first. "There she was justa walking down the street" And then a few posts later: "You did fine George I was just thinking of songs that were so memorable that they would be easy from the first line only but not too easy that the first line conatins the title." (Emphases mine.) I would say that the intent of these is to use the first line when it doesn't contain the title. George

No. I'd also be surprised if you haven't seen this. It wasn't a MONSTER hit, but it did pretty well. "Food. Food! I have not eaten for days." "And who says you will?" "Give me food so I have strength when the wolves come. Let me die not in hunger, but in combat." "THAT is strength, boy! THAT is power! The strength and power of flesh! What is steel, compared to the hand that wields it? Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart, I gave you this! Such a waste... Contemplate this on the tree of woe. Crucify him!" "There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child." "There was a time, boy, when I searched for steel, when steel meant more to me than gold or jewels." "The riddle... of steel." "Yes! You know what it is, don't you boy? Shall I tell you? It's the least I can do. Steel isn't strong, boy, flesh is stronger!" George

When bulwinkl started this thread, he wanted songs recognizable by the first line. Obviously, if the first line contains the title, another line must be used. Would "Taking Care of Business" be any LESS recognizable by "Wake up every norning to the alarm clock's warning"? I think not. George

You can tell the world you never was my girl You can burn my clothes when I'm gone Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been And laugh and joke about me on the phone You can tell my arms, go back onto the phone You can tell my feet to hit the floor Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips They won't be reaching out for you no more George

"Taking Care of Business" (incidentally, these should be FIRST lines) Wise men say, "Only fools rush in." George

Morgan Freeman The Bucket List Jack Nicholson George

"There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child." "There was a time, boy, when I searched for steel, when steel meant more to me than gold or jewels." "The riddle... of steel." "Yes! You know what it is, don't you boy? Shall I tell you? It's the least I can do. Steel isn't strong, boy, flesh is stronger!" George

Sounds like "Beverly Hills Cop" or one of its sequels. I'll go with the original. George

Here it is. George

I beat your response by four minutes.... Your song, however, is "Barefooting." I forget who did the early version, but Rod Stewart did a cover. George

"Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits (I prefer the Weird Al parody in the movie "UHF"!) You can tell the world you never was my girl You can burn my clothes when I'm gone Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been And laugh and joke about me on the phone George

"Kill me before the war is over, will you? It appears that you are not the better man." "You're right. My sons were better men." George

Rocky 2? George

Johnny Depp Edward Scissorhands Winona Ryder George

Charlie Sheen Navy Seals Dennis Haysbert George

Speed Sandra Bullock Miss Congeniality George

Hiway must have disappeared into the alternate universe... Let's try again: "Captain! The Ferengi would be very interested in a base like this." "Fine. Let's hope they find you as tasty as they did their past associates." "You must return to your world and put an end to the commies. All it takes are a few good men." George

Somewhere in Time Christopher Plummer A Beautiful Mind George

Well, that would explain a lot... George
