Eerie, I can hear the guys voice but I can't make it out.

Same here.

Who is the artist?????????  Rod Stewart?

[Human without the bean]

I used a lifeline but Mrs. Bean was just as stumped as I was but it eventually came to her. 

Stuck In The Middle With You  I should have known this.  I like this song very much.

[WordWolf]

Correct. It's Mrs Bean's turn- unless she yields her turn to Mister Human w/o Bean.

Well, since she controls every move I make in that sense she is me.  Let's go with:

A winter's day, it a deep and dark December

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I Am a Rock

This is only half a line, because the rest contains part of the title:

"Warden threw a party..."

George

[Human without the bean]

Jail House Rock (keeping w/ the r-o-c-k theme), or Garden Party?   No, I know these aren't right.  I don't know if I can deduce the name without more lyrics George.

It IS Jail House Rock.

(Warden threw a party in the county jail.)

Now that's what they call not getting it.  I was going the other way, maybe Sonny & Cher I thought.

"Busted flat in Baton Rouge"

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Me and Bobby McGee

This one MIGHT be better in Name that Tune, but I suspect that one of you will get this:

"John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy just to leave the folk music behind."

I know the song, but can't come up with the title yet.  "No one's getting fat cept Mama Cass", and "California Dreamin is becoming a reality" are lines but its name escapes me.

Probably because the title isn't in the lyrics.  If WW or Raf doesn't get it, I'll give it to you.  You clearly have the correct song.

George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

It's "Creeque Alley" (which is why I wasn't too concerned with spelling).  Sort of a history of the Mamas and the Papas and the Lovin' Spoonful.

Human's up.

George

[Human without the bean]

Wow, that name was definitely out of my wheel-house.  But, every (good) groups got one.

"Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine"   *hint    It's one of those.

[WordWolf]

I know the artist, but I don't have the title.

[Human without the bean]

Two more for the price of one.  Same song  (Maybe this is in the wrong thread?)

"Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine"  

You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

 

Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell

[WordWolf]

That's still Bob Dylan.  Subway something-something.

You just don't quite have it yet.  I know you know it WordWolf so, I will accept just one correct word from the title.   It has three.

*hint    It's one of those.   The title is something totally different that what's in the song, just like George's last clue.  Maybe this will help..   It is on one of ~Bob Dylan's~ early 60's albums, "Bringing It All Back Home"  perhaps, my personal favorite.

How about another then.  That was Subterranean Homesick Blues by Robert Zimmerman.

Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand

  I know this one.  The title escapes me.

I figured that if I left only the first line it wouldn't be enough and I figured the second line would be a dead giveaway.   I guess I was wrong.  I'm trying to remember the album that this song came from.  I think it had a page for every song on the album inside the jacket.  Or something like that.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Maggie May.  I just had to "hear" Rod Stewart to get it.

George

[Human without the bean]

Yep.  The album in came off of was "Every Picture Tells a Story" and inside as best as I can recall, it was 50+ years ago, was a storybook whether all on a separate page or several pages each song highlighted with artwork about them.  Goodbye Yellow Book Road has a similar jacket.  You are up George.
