songs remembered from just one line

[GeorgeStGeorge]

It was a hit in the 60's and the 80's

A goddess on a mountain top

Burning like a silver flame

Venus????

either "blue magoos" or something "magoos"

[waysider]

Hah!

Glad I wasn't the only one who got stumped.

Just for fun, here is the "V.D.O".

i'm pretty sure that's it i'm just waiting for confirmation

[GeorgeStGeorge]

You are right, of course. The group you're probably thinking of is Shocking Blue, who first performed it in 1969. Bananarama covered it in 1986.

Go for it!

Is this the real life?

I think it's so groovy now that people are finally gettin' together.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I can hear the song in my head, but I can't think of the title...

George

[bulwinkl]

same here i gave up or will at least give it another day of thinking.

[waysider]

Well, I guess that's the point, isn't it?--- that you "remember" it from just one line. I'll wait a bit longer for the title.

[bulwinkl]

I think I even have the group's name but I'm not positive.

[Broken Arrow]

"Reach out of the darkness" or "Reach Out in the Darkness"? I never could completely understand that line. I don't know the name of the group.

[waysider]

"Reach out of the darkness" or "Reach Out in the Darkness"? I never could completely understand that line. I don't know the name of the group.

I suppose you could say either one qualifies. The official title says "reach out of" but, the lyric is "reach out in".

HERE

[bulwinkl]

ahhh I was wrong I thought it was "The Mamas and the papas"

[Broken Arrow]

I guess I'm up. Let's go with, "I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet. A pawn and a king." Not the first line, but a pretty familiar one.

This was definitely on the pop charts in the mid to late 60's even on the top 40 "bee bop" stations. But the artist is not a rocker. The line I previously quoted is from the "bridge". Here's another line:

"You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May.

But I know I'm gonna change that tune,

When I'm back on top (back on top) in June."
