Name that Tune

[wasway]

here's one that was kinda fun...

Walking through forests of palm tree apartments

Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents

Down by the waterhole, drunk every Friday

Eating their nuts, saving their raisins for Sunday

Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows

They're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows

Actually WS I mis spoke.. Rio was the last Record Album that I bought.. started buying CDs .. But

There have been a few bands that I liked Post DD but not many Matchbox 20 comes to mind.. for one.. Pearl Jam and Phish as well...then of course Lou Gramm went Solo in he late 80's and even did a sound track for "the Lost Boys" which included "Lost in the Shadows" which was pretty good

It was one of the best rock soundtracks ever recorded, IMHO.

(Although Lou Gramm hardly did the ENTIRE album...)

Wasway's is "Bungle in the Jungle" by Jethro Tull (one I posted a few months ago, actually).

Now, back to WordWolf's song, which is our REGULARLY scheduled broadcast....

George

[WordWolf]

Wasway got it- Lou Gramm's "Say Hello to the Night (Lost in the Shadows)",

off the Lost Boys soundtrack.

You posted Wasway's answer-correctly.

Therefore, it is George's turn.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Sorry. I guess his answer was lost in the post.

New tune later.

If you don't like rock and roll think what you've been missing.

Let's all start to have a ball; everybody rock and roll.

But if you like to rock and stroll, come on down and listen.

George

[sharon]

At the hop...

Big Bopper (Sha Na Na Na )

[GeorgeStGeorge]

No on both counts, but close...

Good to "see" you Sharon!

George

[Suda]

Kinda sounds like "Rock And Roll Is Here To Stay" by Danny and the Juniors, but don't think it is. Just similar lyrics, maybe.

Suda

[GeorgeStGeorge]

No, actually, that's it.

You're up, Suda

George

[Suda]

Here's another Oldie but Goodie. Always liked the tune much more than the lyrics.

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh

Lies a body just oozin' life, eek

Suda

[waysider]

Is it "Mack The Knife"--------Bobby Darin?

[Suda]

Way to go, Waysider. You're up!

Suda

[waysider]

OOPS!

Out of time.

Someone take my turn,please.

[waysider]

Though I know that I will never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about you

[Tom Strange]

an amazing tune waysider...

..."In My Life" by the Fab Four...

It amazes me sometimes when I go back and read the lyrics, simple yet carrying such deep emotion and meaning...

Assuming I'm correct, I'll post one now (it's a girl song, but it's nice):

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

Never settle for the path of least resistance

Living might mean taking chances

But they're worth taking

[Suda]

"I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack

[Tom Strange]

I figured you'd get it... (sorry for taking so long)

[Suda]

3 o'clock in the morning

here am I

sittin' here so lonely

so lonesome I could cry

Probably really easy. Sure do love the song and the singer.

First, let me state that I do not know this tune.

Therefore:

I found it interesting that I instantly recognized some of the lyrics as being used elsewhere.

The opening line is also the opening line to:

1. 3o'clock Blues(BB King)

2. Talking In My Sleep (Crystal Gayle)

The last line of the post is not only a line in a famous song but the title as well.("I'm So Lonsome I could Cry")

It was done by:

1. Hank Williams(He wrote it)

2. Elvis

3. Johnny Cash

4.B.J. Thomas (big hit)

5. Cowboy Junkies

6. Skeeter Davis ( my personal favorite)

And probably a dozen others I've not heard yet.

And yet I don't know this one

[Raf]

Is this "Blue" by Leann Rimes?

[Suda]

Sure is, Raf. You're up.

This one might be real easy or real tough...

I wake up in the morning, first sound that I hear

is that clock radio ringing in my ear

I make it to the bathroom to brush my teeth

to that big city beat.

I jump into the shower, bring my box along

'Cause I know all the words to all the songs

DJ stops the music to announce the time

Time has come today!

Grab my coat and grab my hat

Make my train in seconds flat

And all the time I'm listening to my radio

Down the block, to the corner

you can hear it all night long

on the roof, and down on broadway...

[WordWolf]

Since he made the "train" and not the "bus", this isn't "A Day in the Life."

It has to be the other song with that line.

Paul Schaefer's "When the Radio Is On."

In all honesty, I only know that song from discussing it with you, but that was a long time ago....

[Raf]

You got it.

A song featuring vocals from The Fresh Prince AND Dion! Totally geeky.
