songs remembered from just one line

[Human without the bean]

Let me end the misery.  Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart"

"There's something happening here"

 

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Another one of those whose title is not how people remember the song.

For What It's Worth

"When I think of all the cr-p I learned in high school..."

George

[WordWolf]

"Kodachrome",  Simon & Garfunkel, I think.

[WordWolf]

"It's close to midnight and something evil's lurkin' in the dark."

[Human without the bean]

Thriller

"I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school"

[WordWolf]

That's Rod Stewart's "Maggie".

[WordWolf]

"Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Sound of Silence

"You keep sayin' you got somethin' for me:  somethin' you call love but confess."

George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

No one remembers "These Boots Are Made for Walking"?

Try this one:

"Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner..."

I would have.  I just didn't see the post.     Get Back  (does anyone remember the flip side of the 45 rpm)?

"Sucking on a chili dog outside the Tastee-Freeze"

[WordWolf]

That's a little ditty about "JACK AND DIANE."  (Courtesy of John Cougar Mellencamp, as he was known then.)

[WordWolf]

"Well, if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand." 

[Human without the bean]

Another Day in Paradise enters my mind however that's not it.  This is "Something in the Air Tonight"

"Sitting on a corn flake waiting for the van to come"

[WordWolf]

Wordpup passed through and said it was "MI Am the Walrus". 

[WordWolf]

"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand, walking through the streets of Soho in the rain."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

A little obscure for this thread, but Werewolves of London.

"Walking through forests of palm tree apartments
Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents."

George

[WordWolf]

That's  "BUNGLE IN THE JUNGLE", (by "the inventor of the seed drill.") 

[WordWolf]

"We come from the land of the ice and snow, from the Midnight Sun where the hot springs flow."

I can't quite capture the title WordWolf (Battle for Evermore).  Is this a Led Zep III or IV song, or neither?

Led Zep 3.

Aaaaah!     You're stuck on this one?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I'm pretty sure it's an 80s tune, but I can't think of the title.

Let's call that "close enough."  It's "the Immigrant Song."   I think a lot of people know the song who don't know the name, if only because of the Viking Kittens.

OK.

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

I Am a Rock

"Father MacKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear"
