I know Gitarzan, and this was no Gitarzan.

If not Tarzan, it's some kind of apeman, I'm sure about that, but I don't know which one....

"Funny how my memory skips
While looking over manuscripts of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime"

Maybe this clue is stretching the boundaries from what are memorable lines from songs such as this?  Not really to me.  As soon as I would see "Drinking my vodka and lime" my mind would keep playing the song until I got to the title.

[Human without the bean]

Oh seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me at any convenient time?

"Funny how my memory skips
While looking over manuscripts of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime"

Nothin left now here but to spoon feed.

Hazy Shade of Winter

Bananarama [ok fine, but they did a cover!]

[Human without the bean]

No need for an artist in this song thread Raf.   Of course they covered ~Simon and Garfunkel~.

[Raf]

But I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked a thousand

Miles then fall down at your door.

[Human without the bean]

I figured this was titled "500 Miles" ?

[WordWolf]

Close, it's The Proclaimers with "I'M GONNA BE (500 MILES)".

[Raf]

I'm Gonna Be is correct
