songs remembered from just one line

[Human without the bean]

I was going to post another line but -- and this is kind of embarrasing -- I realized that I only know about 2 or 3 lines from the whole song, which was "Tumbling Dice" by the Rolling Stones.

I heard once that some old blues guy taught Mick Jagger to never enunciate his words clearly, to always slur them a little (or a lot).

FREE POST!

Going back soul searcher what was the song with,

Always in a hurry

Never stop to worry, in it?

[soul searcher]

Tumbling Dice, but the lyrics may be a little off.

Oh father high in heaven

Smile down upon your son

Whose busy with his money games

His women and his gun

Oh Jesus save me!

And the unsung Western hero

He killed an Indian or three

And then he made his name in Hollywood

To set the white man free

Oh Jesus save me!

(Chorus):

If Jesus saves -- well, He'd better save Himself

From the gory glory seekers who use His name in death

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Not exactly a song easily remembered from one line... :)

George

[soul searcher]

Yeah, really. Not a lot of _____ ____ fans here.

Okay, final verse:

I saw him in the city

And on the mountains of the moon

His cross was rather bloody

He could hardly roll His stone

Oh Jesus save me!

Chorus

This is kind of ridiculous but this is the album. What's the song?

[Human without the bean]

Its not Leon Russell Roll Away The Stone, so I'll guess I don't know.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I know a few Tull songs, but this ain't one of 'em.

George

[soul searcher]

You all must listen to

. I'm sure some of you will recognize it.

The chorus and guitar solo are the best parts of the song.

And turn it up as loud as you can -- it's a rocker.

(Aqualung, 1971)

[Human without the bean]

So I guess your up again SS since nobody got it.

[soul searcher]

Nobody gonna take my car

I'm gonna race it to the ground

[soul searcher]

Nobody gonna take my car

I'm gonna race it to the ground

Oh, never mind. This is the song. Turn it up as loud as you possibly can, get your air guitar ready, and enjoy. This is what I call "asbestos suit" rock.

BTW, I nailed the vocals to this song (studio version) while playing "Rock Band" with the kids. :B)

[Human without the bean]

If you don't mind soul searcher I'm taking the liberty of putting up another post since we seem to be stuck here now for a week.

Darling you’ll always be

The only for me

Heaven made you specially

[GeorgeStGeorge]

This one DOES seem familiar...

George

[Human without the bean]

Could It Be I'm falling in Love ~The Spinners~

Here's another. It should be easy for those familiar with the song.

I dig snow and rain and the bright sunshine

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Dragging the Line" by Tommy James (I think WITHOUT the Shondells)

I could hide 'neath the wings of the bluebird as she sings

George

[waysider]

Daydream Believer----The Monkees

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Indeed.

George

[waysider]

In the cool of the evening

When everything is gettin' kind of groovy

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Spooky"?

George

[waysider]

Oh, but of course!

[GeorgeStGeorge]

When you're alone and life is making you lonely

"And who knows which is which and who is who."

[Jbarrax]

Aw nuts. I can remember the artist and the album, but not which song it is. If I remember correctly, this lp set a record for most number of consecutive weeks on the BillBoard Top 100.

[bulwinkl]

yeah I believe you do. and since it was in the first line of the song I had to choose another line.
