You're welcome to play, but that means guessing someone else's song before posting your own.

I apologize for not knowing the rules, George. Is there anything else I need to know to play? I didn't mean to step on any toes.

Oh well, I've posted a song (out of order-I'm sorry), and guessed one (hopefully correctly), so am I ok now?

The Ballad of John and Yoko

Here's another one:

"I been run down, I been lied to"

Tied To The Whipping Post----The Allman Brothers

From what I understand, they are supposed to be songs you can recognize from just one line.

I think they started out being the FIRST line, as long as the title wasn't revealed in that line.

So, really, the burden is on the poster, not the one who replies.

(Kind of "name that tune" in reverse.)

Did I get that right, bulwinkl?

The best things in life are free.

"But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees,

Now give me MONEY

"In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream"

[GeorgeStGeorge]

You're fine. Usually, these "game" threads have the rules within the first few posts. Unlike "Name That Tune," which is supposed to be a bit challenging, the goal of this one is to post the first line from a song that everyone should recognize (but, obviously, not a song whose title is in the first line).

Feel free to try the "Name That..." threads, or the "...Pictionary" threads, too. Again the basic rule is that you don't get to post a puzzle until you corectly guess someone else's.

[bulwinkl]

You did just fine Waysider, George

[doojable]

I'll see if this helps, first and second line:

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream

At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines

[Tom Strange]

dooj! we don't need no steenking second line!

...I was just waiting for... oh well... it's Born to Run ...isn't it?

[doojable]

...I was just waiting for... oh well... it's Born to Run ...isn't it?

Badges? Or the sky to rain snowcones?

You're correct of course. ;)

[Tom Strange]

Not the first line... but A line...

When I'm driving in my car and the man comes on the radio

A preachment, dear friend, you are about to receive on John Barleycorn, nicotine and the temptations of Eve.

Didn't Traffic do that song?

[waysider]

Didn't Traffic do that song?

Nope.

Traffic did have an album called John Barleycorn Must Die, though.

And there is a line in the song that says, "No parking by the sewer."

(Kind of a traffic- like reference.)
