songs remembered from just one line

[GeorgeStGeorge]

That's the first line of a well-known song???

George

[Trefor Heywood]

Sorry - didn't realise it had to be a first line!

Here is the first line:

My love she speaks like silence, without ideals or violence

Trevor you may use any line from the song, not necessarily the first line. It just has to familiar and received enough radio time to be recognized.

Ideally the first line is the most recognized. and that's how this game thread is supposed to be played. Make it easy for the players to guess what song it is from a most obvious clue. (Some times if it is not the first line people will point that out to help with any questions they may have). Added just for clarity.

Your song is Bob Dylan Love Minus Zero/ No Limit

Now that's a good line TH.

[Human without the bean]

Thank you Trevor Heywood. Now I will be listening to Bob Dylan music for the next 748 hours.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical

This is not the first line. :rolleyes:

From bulwinkl's first post in this thread:

"after perusing Name that tune topic I started thinking of songs that we remember from the first line. title not in first line. since it's my topic I'll go first."

So, yes, it should be the first line (unless the title is in the first line). And it should be easy for most people to get. More challenging tunes should be reserved for "Name That Tune."

Supertramp, The Logical Song?

[Human without the bean]

Of course it is SS. Your turn.

[soul searcher]

I believe this one goes something like this...

A-Wop-bop-a-loo-lop

a-lop-bam-boo

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Tutti Frutti"

I remember when rock was young

George

[Jbarrax]

Crocodile Rock by Elton John.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Yes.

George

[Jbarrax]

That's kinda weird cause I had already decided that the next time I got a turn, I was going to use an Elton John song. :-)

Okay, how about this instead?

Mama, just killed a man, put my gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Bohemian Rhapsody"

Stuck inside these four walls, sent inside forever

George

[soul searcher]

Band on the Run

Sitting in the morning sun

I'll be sitting when the evening comes

[Human without the bean]

Sitting by the dock of the bay

When I think back to all the crap I learned in high school

[soul searcher]

KODACHROME (great song)

[Jbarrax]

Btw, thanks for posting Band on the Run SS. That was one of my favorite songs in Junior high school. I sang it for hours. For some reason, my wife is in a bad mood today. Can't figure that one out....

In 1973 I was in 9th grade, one year removed from junior high. Yes, I'm old.

In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty I want to be in the warm hold of your loving mind.

Is it Dylan or Springsteen, by any chance?
