Name that Tune

[WordWolf]

Sounds vaguely familiar.

Something lyrics-driven, like U2 or something....

[sharon]

Thunder Road~~

by Bruce?

(cover by Melissa Etheridge is better imho}

[Tom Strange]

Correct Sharon! your turn...

[sharon]

one of my all time favorites~~~~~~

It's hard to be a pack rat, it's hard to be a bum

but living's so much harder where the heartless people go.

Somewhere the dogs are barking and the children seem to know

That Jesus on the highway was a lost hobo.

And they hear the holy silence of the temples in the hill,

And they see the ragged tatters as another kind of thrill.

And they envy him the sunshine and they pity him the chill,

And they're sad to do their living for some other kind of thrill

[Tom Strange]

sounds familiar... any clues?

[Sudo]

It's hard to be a pack rat, it's hard to be a 'bo,

but living's so much harder where the heartless people go.

Somewhere the dogs are barking and the children seem to know

That Jesus on the highway was a lost hobo.

And they hear the holy silence of the temples in the hill,

And they see the ragged tatters as another kind of thrill.

And they envy him the sunshine and they pity him the chill,

And they're sad to do their living for some other kind of thrill.

[sharon]

perhaps this song is obscure let me know but if you can guess it there's a piece of pie as your reward

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Chances are, if you've posted that much of a song, and nobody gets it, nobody's going to get it!

George

[Tom Strange]

is it Dylan?

[Pirate1974]

quote:

if you can guess it there's a piece of pie as your reward

A piece of American Pie?

[sharon]

okey dokey, not dylan but Don Mclean

Homeless Brother

will post new tune in a bit :)-->

[GeorgeStGeorge]

OK, Sharon, it's been two days...

George

[sharon]

sorry~~~here goes:

I know how lonely life can be.

The shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Another toughie, Sharon! Maybe some more lines?

George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Sharon may be under the weather, or something; but I'd like to move this along. When she gets back, she can resume her song thread. In the meantime, try this:

Maybe it's the clothes she wears, or the way she does her hair.

George

[sharon]

And I love you so

The people ask me how

How I live till now

I tell them I don't know

Don Mclean "and I Love u So"

sorry i am amiss, off on vacation love you all

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I believe that Sharon is abdicating, so I'll continue my usurpation of the thread with a little more of the song.

Maybe it's the clothes she wears, or the way she does her hair

That makes me want to tell her that I care.

George

"Just my style" by I don't know who???

[Pirate1974]

"Just My Style" by Gary Lewis and the Playboys.

You have to be really old, like me, to remember that one.

[jewel]

Thanks for that, I like to think of it as mature.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Yeah. I really liked the bass vocal:

Don't you know that she's

Just my style

Everything about her

Drives me wild

Don't you know that she's

Fine...so fine.

Jewel got the song right, but one is supposed to give the performer as well. Technically, Pirate is the winner, though if you wish to cede your turn to Jewel, I don't think anyone would mind! ;)-->

George

[Pirate1974]

Jewel may have my turn.

[jewel]

oops, that posted before I was ready

Trust I seek and find in you

[jewel]

I really am not good at this, I don't know how to remove a post.

Here, I will try again. I did not hit the post now buttom on the last two posts.

Here is the song again

Trust I seek and I find in you

Everyday for us something new

Open mind for a different view

I can't give you the last line cause it is the name of the song.

[jewel]

Here is another that might be easier.

And I fell asleep and dreamed

I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie

And that I was the star of the movie
