songs remembered from just one line

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I'll take up waysider's offer:

"The local rock group down the street is trying hard to learn their song."

George

[Tom Strange]

good one!

[hiway29]

'Pleasant Valley Sunday'

[Tom Strange]

'Pleasant Valley Sunday'

Didn't Carole King help write that song? Ya know, her body of work is truly amazing... I never realized (in my youth) exactly how many of her songs were such a big part of my conscience... did that make sense?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

As well as Carole King, Neil Diamond wrote a lot for the Monkees. In fact, I believe ND's biggest hit as a songwriter was "I'm a Believer."

You're up, hiway!

George

[hiway29]

another big Neil Diamond hit for the Monkees was, 'A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You'

uh... I'll post one when I can think of one.

[hiway29]

"It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe"

[Tom Strange]

Don't Think Twice or is it Don't Think Twice, It's Alright?

we could probably go pages with Dylan songs...

[hiway29]

True-maybe we should stop with Dylan while we're ahead.

Your turn, Tom

I think it's 'Don't Think Twice, It's Alright'

[Tom Strange]

This was a one-hit wonder.

"Goodbye,Emil, my trusted friend..."

George

[Tom Strange]

Well... was it enough of a "one hit wonder" that we'll know it?

[bulwinkl]

Unfortunately yes. I refuse to answer it cos I always hated that song. Damn you George now it's in my head and it won't leave!!!! I think I need ministering to. GET IT OUTTA MY HEAD!!!!!!!!

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Whenever I have a song stuck in my head, I drive it out with "Blame it on the Bossa Nova." Unfortunately, then I can't get THAT song out!

George

P.S. Here's a hint: ALL the verses begin with "Goodbye."

Used to hear that every Friday afternoon.

Yup--(Todd Rundgren)

I probably should have saved that one for a Monday morning.

Here's what I kept confusing dooj's post with....

"I´m a gonna tell ya how it´s gonna be"

This has been covered, BTW, so there's more than one artist, for the curious.
