songs remembered from just one line

[WordWolf]

Maybe the line was "Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer." 

Reginald Dwight was still Reginald Dwight, but also known as Elton John.

There's no maybe about it.  Yes, Bernie Taupin lyrics with composition by Elton Hercules John.

Hercules, no kidding?    *checks*   No, no kidding.   This is interesting. When he was knighted, he wasn't knighted Sir Reginald Dwight, he was knighted Sir Elton H John.

Next song.

 

"Get your motor runnin'"

Born to Be WIIIIIIIILD.

Feels like it's New Year's Eve all over again...

[WordWolf]

"New York, New York", sung by Frank Sinatra (among others), and CNN's go-to song when broadcasting TImes Square's midnight on New Year's Eve.

"Begin the day with a friendly voice, a companion unobstrusive"

"Begin the day with a friendly voice, a companion unobtrusive. Plays that song that's so elusive and the magic music makes your morning move."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Not hearing it.

I'll give it a few more hours.

Sounds like something from "Jesus Christ Superstar" to me.  But, I haven?t got any other clue.

[WordWolf]

That was Rush's "the Spirit of Radio."

I'm just curious why nothings came up, it's pretty easy?  It's sort of like,  "And here's to you Joe DiMaggio" along the same vein anyway?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Just not ringing any bells.  Maybe other lyrics might give it to me, but that's not the point of this thread.

PS  I thought my "Name That Tune" post was a gimme, especially with the last lyric I added, but no one seems to be getting it, either.
