songs remembered from just one line
Human without the bean replied to bulwinkl's topic in Movies, Music, Books, Art
I thought I would check out some of the changes that have been made to this thread. I went through the first 7 pages just to see how things got started. bulwinki started this thread and he continued to make the point that the songs in it were "so memorable that it would be recognizable from the first line". But things change, and several morphs have taken place since then. I guess I'm addressing this to you Nathan_Jr since the other players are familiar with this thread. One of those morphs is we don't always take the lyric (or clue) from the first line every time. When I really like a song I usually can think of a couple of lines that would be easily recognizable to most who play this game. Example: Sympathy for the Devil. The first line is very recognizable. "Please allow me to introduce myself". But there is also "But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game" and so on. Another one of those morphs has become one that if perhaps the clue isn't the most recognized then a second line would be added. Example ~The Animals~ Spill the Wine, "I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest" It's easy to recognize but just to make it more recognizable we use another line. There are only so many songs that have a lyric to them that can make the song stand out from other songs. After what, 180 pages worth of posts, this thread fizzled out for I think almost two years. We started it up again. So here we are. Last thing in reference to the Nostalgia thing. We all know that not everyone has the same taste in music. I know who Wes Anderson is. I've seen some of his movies. Rushmore, The Grand Budapest Hotel, but I don't think I could recognize any songs from them, unless they were "Day Tripper", "Manic Monday' or "Won't Get Fooled Again". And I would only add to this what WordWolf has already said, that lengthy lyrics are not how it's played. Try to give the clue in one or two lines, even three if that works. Any more than that and it would be a song for Name that Tune. And I'm sorry Nathan_Jr, but I still don't have a clue to what the song you posted is. -

I may have ran into a stand still because with the exception of those same lines repeated, the only other verses have the name of the tune in them. Ideas?

Next tune: I was a lonely soul I had nobody till I met you But you, keeping me waiting All of the time, what can I do? It's your life And you can do what you want Do what you like But please don't keep me waiting Please don't keep me waiting

That's probably where the last time I saw it too. I'm holding some big names which I am now going to use. I wonder if anyone else has any clue yet? -
