WordWolf Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Correct! Personally, I try to confine my RECENT songs to nothing that didn't come out after 1985-1986 to give the older posters a chance. Personally, I'd prefer older posters try to make most of their songs ones that came out after 1970, to give the younger posters a chance. This wouldn't apply to all songs, just most, and is simply MY PREFERENCES. Anyone can post whichever ones they want in their turn. However, I think long stretches of obscure songs drive interest off the thread, which chases off occassional or new players, and I for one like to see all sorts of posters take a turn. =============== So, it's Bluzeman's turn.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

"My Girl Bill"------Jim Stafford

You got it, Waysider.
Here are all the lyrics for thos who haven't heard it:
Bill walked me to my door last night
And he said, 'Before I go
There's something about our love affair
That I have a right to know
I said, "Let's not stand out here like this
What would the neighbors think
Why don't we just...step inside
And I'll fix us both a drink"
My girl, Bill
My, my, girl, Bill
Can't say enough about the way I feel
About my girl
(My girl, my girl)
My girl, Bill
William's hands were shaking
As he took his glass of wine
And I could see we both felt the same
When his eyes met mine
I said, "'Who we love and why we love
It's hard to understand
So let's just sit here on the couch
And face this, man to man"
My girl, Bill
My, my, girl, Bill
Can't say enough about the way I feel
About my girl
(My girl, my girl)
My girl Bill
Bill, you know we just left her place
And we both know what she said
She doesn't want to see your face
And she wishes you were dead
Now, I know we both love her
And I guess we always will
But you're gonna have to find another
'Cause she's my girl...Bill

We can use any song from any era.
I guess 1965 works just as well as 1970.
Besides, I gave my opinion.
If 1965 works better, great.
