songs remembered from just one line

[soul searcher]

Would "Taking Care of Business" be any LESS recognizable by "Wake up every norning to the alarm clock's warning"? I think not.

Yeah but that line's boring.

I went back and read the initial post before I posed the question. He didn't actually specify that.

Well the first post says:

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.

"There she was justa walking down the street"

And then a few posts later:

"You did fine George I was just thinking of songs that were so memorable that they would be easy from the first line only but not too easy that the first line conatins the title."

(Emphases mine.) I would say that the intent of these is to use the first line when it doesn't contain the title.

Really do we need to make it a rule. Is this the county jail and we're not suffering enough so just make some

more rules to make it tougher? My point: This thread has been going along fine for the past several months

and it's been fun to play, whether or not we are using the first line of a song. Don't start something now when

everything is just fine. It ain't broke, so let's not try to fix it.

So, how about that NBA lockout!

Jbarrax your in the hotseat!

Please Louise pull me off a my knees

Jack, get back. C'mon before we crack.

Technically that's two lines, but they complete a stanza..sort of.

Is this a puzzle? Clue? Tattoo, too.

I feel like I should give this song up. Not one clue????????

Only trouble with that would be then, I would be waiting

on this thread for someone else to play.

You find that all her words of kindness linger on

When she no longer needs you
