Name that Tune

[Bluzeman]

Yup! Great tune!

Your turn, QuietThinker!

(Ands props to Tom, who also knew it. And Wasway, even if he did "google" it. Just Kidding, Wasway dude!

Rick(Who is WAY too old to be using a term like "props"...but I'm pretending to know what the current slang means :blink: )

[QuietThinker]

Mmmm....ok. I was having a small pity party today, only invited myself, you see...and I called up this on the Nano...

"They say two hearts should beat as one for us

We'll fight it out to see it through"

It's an easy one, but I enjoyed it today!

[pawtucket]

great album, qt

[Tom Strange]

she is pretty... wasn't she in that Jesus movie?

I've not ever really listened to her stuff...

[QuietThinker]

hmmm....not a girly, Tom...let me slip you another couple of lyrics...then it will be as easy as walking on a broken heeled pump, carrying a suitcase...

You and I could never live alone

But dont you feel like breaking out

Just one day on your own

...and thanks, Paw. I think so, too :-)

Cheers,

qt

[Tom Strange]

qt

[Tom Strange]

[pawtucket]

Breaking us in two by Joe Jackson from the Night and Day album

Okay here is the next song

Every time that I come near her

I just lose my nerve

Edited July 27, 2006 by pawtucket

[Tom Strange]

I know that one!

[Ca_dreaming]

AND........

I do to Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic - The Police

[pawtucket]

right your turn

[Tom Strange]

hey... while we're waiting for CalDreamer... does anyone know this one?

The mystery man came over

And he said "I'm outta sight!"

He said for a nominal service charge

I could reach nirvana tonight

If I was ready, willing and able

To pay him his regular fee

He would drop all the rest of

His pressing affairs and devote

His attention to me

[puttytat]

Cosmik Debris-Frank Zappa

[Tom Strange]

Yes puttytat... I was thinking about the lyrics tonight... they reminded me of TWI:

COSMIK DEBRIS by Frank Zappa

The mystery man came over

And he said "I'm outta sight!"

He said for a nominal service charge

I could reach nirvana tonight

If I was ready, willing and able

To pay him his regular fee

He would drop all the rest of

His pressing affairs and devote

His attention to me

But I said "Look here brother

who you jiving with that cosmik debris?

Now who you jiving with that cosmik debris?

Look here brother, don't waste your time on me"

The mystery man got nervous

And he fidget around a bit

He reached in the pocket of his mystery robe

And he whipped out a shaving kit

Now I thought it was a razor

And a can of foaming goo

But he told me right then when the top popped open

There was nothin' his box won't do

With the oil of Aphrodite, and the dust of the Grand Wazoo

He said "You might not believe this, little fella

But it'll cure your asthma too"

And I said "Look here brother

Who you jiving with that cosmik debris?

Now what kind of a guru are you, anyway?

Look here brother, don't waste your time on me"

*(Don't waste your time)*

"I've got troubles of my own", I said

"And you can't help me out

So, take your meditations and your preparations

And ram it up your snout!"

"But I got the crystal ball", he said

And held it to the light

So I snatched it, all away from him

And I showed him how to do it right

I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head

So I looked like I was deep

I said some mumbo-jumbo, then

I told him he was going to sleep

I robbed his rings and pocketwatch

And everything else I found

I had that sucker hypnotized

He couldn't even make a sound

I proceeded to tell him his future, then

As long as he was hanging around

I said "The price of meat has just gone up

And your old lady has just gone down!"

And I said "Look here brother-who you

Jiving with that cosmik debris?

Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?

Don't you know, you could make more money as a butcher?

So, don't waste your time on me"

Don't waste it, don't waste your time on me

*(Shante)*

OK... it's really CalDreamer's turn now... thank you all for indulging me.

[Tom Strange]

Did I kill this with Frank Zappa?

[pawtucket]

CA is on vacation so you get to go again

[Tom Strange]

OK then... how about this one:

You’re on the road but you’ve got no destination

You’re in the mud, in the maze of her imagination

You love this town even if it doesn’t ring true

You’ve been all over and it’s been all over you

[wasway]

Hi Tom,

That would be Bono and the Boys having a "Beautiful Day"

[Tom Strange]

That would be correct Was....

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground

But there's no room, no space to rent in this town

You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care,

The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere.

You thought you’d found a friend to take you out of this place

Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

hmmm... did/do they know about TWI?

[WordWolf]

This isn't a proper turn or anything, and I consider this song unfairly difficult.

But I'm curious if anybody can name it without looking it up.

So, if nobody minds a song out of any turn.....

"Last night I had a crazy dream

About a chick in a black bikini.

Oh, she looked so good,

She couldn't be real-

She must be a magic genie.

But then she disappeared around the corner.

All I saw were three doors

And the top of her bikini.

I made it through the first door.

There was a party going on.

I asked about the chick,

But what they said was freaky..."

[pawtucket]

Is this from Was not Was?

[QuietThinker]

I know the song, from college, but I don't know who sang it. Chick-a-boom.

[Tom Strange]

Is this from Was not Was?

nah... WW was just testing... we're still waiting on WnW...

[pawtucket]

"was not was" is the name of a group manned by Don Was.
