songs remembered from just one line

[Tom Strange]

Are you going for Paul Simon? ...Loves Me Like A Rock (or something like that)?

[pawtucket]

You never close your eyes

[doojable]

Is that a clue for a new song, Paw?

[hiway29]

Well, George's is 'Live and Let Die"

Paw's is 'You've Lost that Loving Feeling"

new one

"go away from my window'

[Tom Strange]

Well, George's is 'Live and Let Die"

Paw's is 'You've Lost that Loving Feeling"

new one

"go away from my window'

...but GSG already said that it wasn't "live and let die"...

I think yours is 'it ain't me babe"...

[hiway29]

oh-I didnt scroll back far enough-I just saw the live and let die thing

it was 'it aint me babe'

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Just to be clear, Tom was right about "Loves Me Like a Rock."

I'll let you sort out the rest.

George

I think we're good to go, hiway answered paw's, I answered your's and hiway's.. so I figure it's my turn...

I think I'm gonna throw an Uncle Charlie here...

Take the ribbon from your hair...

I know what it's called and who wrote it, but I don't think I know who sang the version that made it a hit. Can I just give the name of the song and the songwriter or do we have to say who sang the hit version?

[waysider]

Pssst!

There's a bit of a hint in Tom's post.

[bowtwi]

Hmmm, now I'm even more confused. LOL I thought it was sung by a woman. I guess it's a pride thing with me to be sure I'm right before I post my answer. Thanks, waysiderman! It's still fun since we're snowed in. Maybe I'll have an RC Cola and maybe hot cocoa. Hmmm, decisions, decisions... lol

[bowtwi]

I think it's Help Me Make It Through The Night by Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge.

[Tom Strange]

yes Bow... it's "help me make it though the night" sung by a bunch of different folks, even the king, but written by KK.

your turn bow...

Maybe I need to add a bit more.

If that was with Linda Lu, then this is "Gimme Three Steps", by the inimitable "Lynyrd Skynrd".

(IIRC, they were named after Leonard Skinerd, a high school teacher, who HATED

rock and roll.)

"It's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraid..."

[WordWolf]

"It's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraid.

At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade."

[Raf]

Where nothing ever grows. No rain or rivers flow...

Africa.

Puh lease.

Africa's got rain forests, implying growth, rain AND rivers.

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime.

So what? There won't be snow in Florida either. You don't see is raising money for it!

New song...

Tale as old as time. True as it can be.

Barely even friends. Then somebody bends unexpectedly.

[Tom Strange]

hey you two! ...it's songs remembered from just ONE LINE... if we don't get it... you win!!!

[bulwinkl]

The purpose of this thread was not to stump anybody. It's purpose was to come up with a song that was so memorable that it would be recognizable from the first line. There are many songs that fit this parameter but alas the thread seems to have morphed into something else.The onus is on the poster to come up with something that is easily recognizable. it was meant as a cross between name that tune and the Nostalgia thread. I apologize if I did not make that clear before.

I thought this song was horribly easy. Beauty and the Beast.

Try this one:

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold.
