Remember when we were in Africa?

I know that it is the Doors. And it seems that it was the last line of a song.

Yes, it is a Doors song. Yes, this is the last line.

, you did, in fact, remember it.

Your turn.

You got it. Great song considering it was done in 1965, ahead of it's time

Is it, "Why Did You Join that Cult you Idiot?" I believe the group was called Former Friends. Came out in the 70's I believe.

No, and it occurs to me that those words have probably been used in many songs. I'll give it another day or so.

It sounds like a song from the last Rolling Stones' album, can't think of the name of the song

When Paw is stumped it's time to give it up.

My post was the opening lines of the second verse of the Allman Brothers' "Whipping Post".

It was a bad clue.

"hello darkness my old friend"

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"The Sounds of Silence" (Simon & Garfunkel)

This may be a bit more obscure, though it was a big hit for one of my favorite groups (and another group about a decade earlier):

Took a walk and passed your house...

George

[hiway29]

is it 'Silhouettes" ?-I don't recall anyone but Herman's Hermits doing it

[soul searcher]

I was going to guess Silhouettes, too.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

It is, in fact, "Silhouettes." I was a big fan of Heman's Hermits. and I thought this song was great. Interestingly, I never quite understood part of the song until I heard the Rays' version from 1957 on an oldies station. That's when I finally got the "You're on the wrong block" line! :lol:

Hiway got it first.

George

While waiting for Hiway, not sure if this has been done before

I met a gin soaked bar room queen in Memphis

It sho 'nuff has. Honky Tonk Woman. It's one of my favorite songs of all time.

Good tune. Not the correct answer, though.

Tip of the tongue.....

These groups/artists come to mind. John Denver, Seals and Croft, The Band, and Cat Stevens.
