songs remembered from just one line

[Raf]

"You can call me Al" by Paul Simon.

A long, long time ago, I can still remember

"You can call me Al" by Paul Simon.

"American Pie" by Don McLean

"It's the way that I dance, the things that I do"

[Tom Strange]

Is this like an "easy Name that Tune" thread?

Kind of... except the one line you post is the first line of the song... (I think)

[bulwinkl]

I was not trying to replace name that tune thread, rather challenge the posters to come up with a song that was so memorable that it would be recognizable from the first line. At the same time I didn't want it to be something like Mama's and Papas "Monday Monday" where the name of the song was in the first line. It's more a challenge to the posters then the guessers/answerers in they would have to pick a song that was easily ascetained from just the first line instead of having to post an entire verse or so. At least that was my intent. If I failed then my apologies.

you done fine bulwinkl! ...you done fine.

[waysider]

Hey there Winking Bull.

I think it's a pretty cool idea.

Or, as someone once stated in the first line of a song:

"I like it, I like it!"---- Hmmm, now what song was that?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Let's try not to get more than one clue going at a time! We still haven't got Doojable's clue.

George

[Belle]

I think it's a great idea, Bulwinkl! I love it!

Haven't a clue on Dooj's though. :unsure:

I do have some ideas of what I'd like to post when I finally get another one.

[bulwinkl]

Yeah Dooj you got me on that one too.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I googled Dooj's "clue" and didn't get a hit. :huh:

Maybe it's not a lyric?

George

[waysider]

Ratzzzz-----Stumped again!!!!

[Tom Strange]

YO dooj! ...it's been three days, I think you've got us ...what song is that the first line to???? huh? inquiring minds want to know!

[Belle]

Where IS the Dooj-ster? :unsure:

I hope she's okay.

[WordWolf]

I googled Dooj's "clue" and didn't get a hit. :huh:

Maybe it's not a lyric?

*cracks knuckles*

Ok, let me take a whack at finding it....

I don't think this song's identifiable by THAT line, but we could do this SAME song

off a DIFFERENT one-line, I think...

"It's the way that I dance, the things that I do"

Here's another line from that song.....

"Stone cold sober as a matter of fact!"

or we could do the first line, which some people would also get.

[doojable]

I'm back...

"I was justified when I was five"

Sorry - I didnt get that I needed to only use the first line... (the above is the first line to the same song though.)
