  1. I've always thought it was "Spill the wine and dig that girl" Fire & Rain We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year
  2. And the years rolled slowly past And i found myself alone Surrounded by strangers i thought were my friends I found myself further and further from my home And i guess i lost my way There were oh so many roads I was living to run and running to live Never worried about paying or even how much i owed Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time Breaking all of the rules that would bend
  3. Runaway "I was once out strolling one very hot summers day when I thought I'd lay myself down to rest in a big field of tall grass"
  4. I've heard it before, somewhere, but now I'm only guessing. I'm going to guess James Madison and somewhere between 96 lbs and 103.
  5. Maybe a shade. And the years rolled slowly past And I found myself alone Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends I found myself further and further from my home And I guess I lost my way
  6. Huh, I didn't know WordWolf was a crime fighting superhero? Good for him. Moonlighting obviously.
  7. "Subterranean Homesick Blues" "Well, she was just seventeen You know what I mean"
  8. "Got a good reason For taking the easy way out Got a good reason For taking the easy way out now"
  9. If it was 20 years ago today, I might have been able to remember that. Hey I think I just quoted "Sergeant Pepper"!
  10. Wasn't that a pop drink George, or still is? You misspelled it. Glad to see you're keeping waysider in the loop.
  11. Hi waysider. So I want to remind you about this thread 'Name That Tune' is played and how it's differs from the 'Songs remembered from one line'. Songs thread is just easy to remember. That's it, and it doesn't require the name of the songwriter or band. Just the song, and usually it's just one or two lines. The tune thread differs in that it requires that we give more than one line, perhaps a full verse and, depending on its difficulty maybe several verses. So, generally the song here, isn't one that is recognized from one or two lines, (although it can be), so it becomes a more challenging thread. And, here, we are required to name a group or artist who either actually recorded it, or was covered by another artist and it had received enough radio play to make it memorable. Say for example, ~The Bangles~ and their cover of ~Simon and Garfunkel's "Hazy Shade of Winter". For me, in this case, there isn't enough lyrics to draw information.
  12. I went as far to *fact check* (after thinking I might watch it) and yes, the quoted line, "shaken, not stirred" was used in "Casino Royale", by the waiter.
  13. Run Around Sue "Why do we never get an answer when we're knockin' at the door"
  14. Correct. Apparently the first Bond film to use the line was "Dr. No" when it was used twice but not spoken by Bond (Sean Connery). The first use of "Shaken not stirred" by James Bond was in "Goldfinger". ["Shaken, not stirred" is how Ian Flemings fictional British secret agent James Bond prefers his martini cocktail. Wikipedia.] And, for any James Bond trivia buffs here, it was mis-quoted and re-missed in "You Only Live Twice" when the bartender offers the drink to Bond (Sean Connery) "Stirred, not shaken" and Bond replies "perfect". WordWolf you're up.
  15. What is that George, I'm not familiar with Troglodyte?
  16. Like I said, probably any of them. I'm certain Austin Powers used a similar line in all the movies, maybe not exact but something like the line you quoted George. So thank you, I will go ahead. Let's see then, something that isn't from Shawshank Redemption. Huh, "Shaken not stirred"
  17. I've never understood more than six words to any of his songs, except Pink Cadillac.
  18. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (but, probably any of them).
