Got to know how to pony
Like Bony Maronie
Mashed potato
Do the alligator

Land of 1000 Dances?

Is this "Twisting"?????

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I just looked it up.  I was correct.

"As I walked along, I wondered what went wrong with our love, a love that was so strong."

George

Little Runaway or My Little Runaway

"Who's trippin' down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees?"

[waysider]

Well, shoot, everyone knows it's "Windy".

[waysider]

Hearts go astray, leaving hurt when they go.

"Well it's the only thing that I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, ma"

The key to this song is knowing that the singer rode on a bicycle and roller skates.  Hard to do.

Did this confuse anyone?  If so, sorry, but all I'm going to say is that it's the only thing she could do half right and it's turning out all wrong.

Still not getting it.

What have they done to my song, Ma?

[waysider]

She's the kind of girl
You want so much, it makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day

I believe it's actually "Look what they've done to my song, Ma."  Close enough, though, since no one else was getting it.

That was a line from the song George.   Ma!

 

Waysider's post, not sure.

[Human without the bean]

Waysider, we seem to be at a standstill, would you mind leaving a couple more song lyrics?

[waysider]

Huh? I thought this one was solved.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Actually, you solved the last one, Waysider.

Was she told when she was young
That pain would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back
To earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Seems vaguely familiar.

From what some consider to be the ultimate Beatles album.

[Human without the bean]

Only song that comes to mind is "She's Leaving Home" Sgt. Pepper.
