WordWolf you haven't posted an answer to my post yet.   At least from what I can see with the page turning over now.

WordWolf I thought you were asking a question, is it a rock n' roll band?  That's why I answered yes, one of the biggest ever !  There has probably been a song named "Rock n' Roll Band" but it's not the name of this song.   Sorry for your confusion WordWolf.  Yes, the song is probably by one of the Biggest bands ever, even of all time.  I know when I was young when I listened to the opening line and thought I was hearing 'standing in the dock of Japan'.  I've used this clue before to.

So I guess I'm still up then.

Or this one, "What's your name, who's your Daddy, is he rich like me"

Name either one and win the round.

Very good.  Yes.    Perhaps I should have left the original post alone but I wasn't sure that anyone recognized it.  Good for you redrock and blues.  Still, WordWolf got his first so now he's up.

[redrock and blues]

Hey Human;   been gone a few days and read the thread this morning.  Couldn't resist chiming in!  WordWolf is up!

"Whenever we kiss, I get to feeling like this, I get to wishing that there were two of you.  My heart cries out 'More, baby',  it feels so nice, I want your arms to wrap around me twice."

 

This was a hit for 2 bands, decades apart.  One version is about as old as me, and the other version wasn't recent but was part of a soundtrack, and Jennifer Love Hewitt appeared in the music video (live, not in archived footage.)

I suppose that any time ANYONE of us is stumped, then it was a stretch for this thread.  On the other hand, we all have personal favorites which we would assume (correctly or incorrectly) that EVERYONE should know.

I am.  It's not that the lyrics are difficult. They are just not that memorable.  They're not like "There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell" are they?

Still have no idea what any of you are talking about.

[Raf]

George, you're confused because he said I was right but then, explaining it, said you were right. So you were right. He didn't recognize the lyrics. 

In any event, let's end this:

"Can't Get Enough of You Baby"

The version I remember is by Smashmouth

I was dreaming when I wrote this; forgive me if it goes astray.
