songs remembered from just one line

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I can remember the second line "How can people be so cruel?" but I can't remember the title or performer.

Don't be so hard on yourself, George.

This is an easy one.

I'm thinking "Three dog night" . Possibly Easy to be hard?????? If so thanks be to George for the second line

George go ahead and take it I would not have gotten it without you.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

You keep saying you've got something for me.

Here's a song that still makes me feel good whenever I hear it-

the light we used to pass by every day"

Apparently, this one is not easily recognized from just one line.

It's---

----- The Yardbirds

Would someone take the next one, please?

[hiway29]

wow-I really like that song-but didn't get it from that line !

I don't have a new one handy just now.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Slow down, you move too fast!

George

[waysider]

Slow down, you move too fast!

--------Simon and Garfunkel

[GeorgeStGeorge]

That's it, of course.

The purpose of a man is to love a woman and the purpose of a woman is to love her man.

[waysider]

I don't think I'm very good at this game.

:(

I thought for sure this was an easy one.

The answer is The Game Of Love----------Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders.

Would someone care to take the next one?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Actually, that wasn't a bad one. I could sort of hear the song in my head, but not enough of it to remember the title.

The hard part of this thread is to come up with songs that are almost universally well-known. For old folks like me, that limits it to songs pre-1990 (and really, more like pre-1985). Younger folks might not get songs from the 50's (or even 60's). And C&W songs are generally less known than stuff from the pop charts.
