songs remembered from just one line

[sharon]

No kiddin'? And I thought I was an Aretha fan?

Okay try this one on for size:

"You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!"

Happy New Year one and all!!!!

Another Brick in the Wall....

Pink Floyd

[irisheyes]

That's a winner! You go.

[sharon]

And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl accross the toe of my high heel shoe.

No, seriously, Sharon, you're supposed to post a line from a song, not a personal experience.

HEEHEEHEE!

(I have no idea what this one is.)

[irisheyes]

I couldn't stand it. I cheated and looked it up. Good One.

[sharon]

another clue:

"To thyne own self be true."

[bulwinkl]

I don't know if I can do this but I call a foul on this song. My original intent was to post a song that would be remembered from the "first Line" I googled this song and it doesn't fit. I suggest people look at the criteria before posting. this is supposed to be a song so memorable that it would be remembered from only the first line of the song. the only other criteria would be that the name of the song can't be in the first line.

[sharon]

sorry...

I don't think people wpould get this from the 1st line (it was Fancy by Reba) should I go again or bow out this turn?

[hiway29]

don't bow out. this forum needs all the people it can get.

[sharon]

ok here goes...

Mama just killed a man...

[doojable]

Bohemian Rhapsody - by Queen...

[sharon]

your turn

[doojable]

"When I get older"

[hiway29]

"When I'm 64"

If that's right, someone can take my turn, as I'm stuck in jury duty today.

[doojable]

It's correct - who wants to take the next one?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I'll jump in.

"She asked him why..."

George

[Tom Strange]

I'm just guessin' here... but I bet it's a song about a girl...

...or a guy ...or a girl and a guy.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Are you sure it's about humans?

George

[waysider]

I'll jump in.

"She asked him why..."

George

Hair----- The Cowsills (or from the musical by the same name.)

-------------------------------------------------------

"Every time I make a move to love you---------"

[irisheyes]

Thanks for the clarification. However, WS, I'm stuck on that one....

[waysider]

Ahhh! C'mon, Irish!

Don't stop NOW!

This one's easy as----------

[waysider]

OOPS!

Sorry

The first line is actually:

"Every time I try to PROVE I love you-----"

(Though the other line appears in the song, as well.)

Man, I thought this one would jump off the page.

Should I just toss in the towel?

[doojable]

I can hear the dang song in my head... just can't hear that darned Title line...:(

[waysider]

Well, since the idea is to post one that is instantly recognizable, I'm going to accept my defeat and pass the baton to whoever wants it.

Now I need to go shopping at youtube so I can post the answer.

BTW--- I Hate this song.

I just thought it was easy.
