songs remembered from just one line

You're Sixteen

"Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings of the bluebird as she sings."

George

"Snowbird"  Ann Murray sings like a voice from an angel don't she?

 

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand

That's not "Snowbird."

George

[Human without the bean]

It isn't?  Ok.  The first line of "Snowbird" has a "beneath" in it too.  "Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean".  I got my lines mixed up.  I don't know this one then.

Then I have failed to produce a song remembered from one line.  It is, however, one of the Monkees' greatest hits, so I thought it would be obvious.

George

[Human without the bean]

The trouble with this now is that I recognize the song from the Monkees' but I have Ann Murray's Snowbird stuck in my head and I can't distinguish it from the two songs.

Daydream Believer

"Hello Darkness, my old friend."

George

The Sound of Silence

 

"I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand"

[WordWolf]

That´s a Stones song.  I think the title is "You Get What You Need."

("You can´t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need.")

[WordWolf]

"I get no kick from champagne."

[Human without the bean]

'"you can always go "Downtown"

"But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao"

Revolution 1

"I can turn a grey sky blue."

George

[Human without the bean]

Not getting it yet George.

[WordWolf]

I'm sure I've heard it before, but nothing is coming to mind despite that.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

TWO lines

"I can turn a grey sky blue.

I can make it rain, whenever I want it to."

Must be recognizable to a few folks but it's still not on my radar.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I suppose if you heard each of the Temptations singing a line, it would help.  The one thing they COULDN'T do:

"Can't Get Next to You."

How about this one:

"Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans"

I´m heating JANIS JOPLIN in my head.

If you heating, careful, don't let your head explode.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Gee, the voices don't talk to ME...

Yes.  Me and Bobby McGee.
