Name that Tune

[bfh]

My Girl

by the four tops I think It might be the temptations I'm not sure.

That's it - "My Girl" by The Temptations.

Your turn....

[GeorgeStGeorge]

bulwinkl, you're up!

George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

After a week, I'm taking it.

Who was that man?

I'd like to shake his hand!

He made my baby fall in love with me.

Just the title is okay, if you can't remember th artist.

George

[bulwinkl]

if it's the "Book of Love" you are digging pretty far back mid fifties if IIRC although a version mighta been released in the 60's

Tha Artist I can't remember.

No, not "The Book of Love." This one was even sillier.

George

[bulwinkl]

I don't know if this is the title or not but is it " Who put the wham in the wham-a-lama-ding-dong" or something very close to it. and I think it was someone like Bobby Vee or like him , not a group.

[WordWolf]

If it's "Who Put the 'Bop' in my "Wop-Bop-a-Loo-Bop'", then I cede it to Bullwinkle,

but wanted to post what I think is the correct title just so we can say we posted it.

[waysider]

Doesn't look like anybody is going to get the exact title.

Hope it's OK to post some links.

(Don't click if the game is still on.)

Here is the song:

It was a somewhat sarcastic response to this:

And here is the other one that WordWolf referenced.

The actual title is "Who Put the Bomp" recorded by Barry Mann.

I'd like to thank the guy who wrote the song

that made my baby fall in love with me...

Who put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp

Who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong

Who put the bop in the bop-she-bop-she-bop

Who put the dip in the dip-de-dip-de-dip

Who was that man, I'd like to shake his hand

He made my baby fall in love with me (yeah!)

When my baby heard bomp-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-bo-bomp-bomp

Every word went right into her heart

And when she heard them singing ram-a-lama-lama-lama-lama-ding-dong

She said we'd never have to part

I suppose bulwinkl should go next.

George

[bulwinkl]

Damn, now I have to think. I'll be back later and give ya a new one.

[bulwinkl]

Ok here's a new one

Now lucy looks sweet cause he dresses like a queen

But he can kick like a mule its a real mean team

[bulwinkl]

Now lucy looks sweet cause he dresses like a queen

But he can kick like a mule its a real mean team

But we can love oh yes we can love

And my brothers back at home with his beatles and his stones

Rings a bell, but I'm not calling up the name yet...

That last line's vaguely familiar.

[waysider]

And my brothers back at home with his beatles and his stones

Is it All The Young Dudes by Mott The Hoople?

[bulwinkl]

You would be correct.

[waysider]

(from that same era)

The Purple Piper plays his tune.

The choir softly sing,

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue

Edited September 10, 2008 by waysider

[waysider]

No takers?

Here's some more.

The keeper of the city keys

Put shutters on the dreams.

I wait outside the pilgrims door

With insufficient schemes.

The black queen chants

The funeral march,

The cracked brass bells will ring;

To summon back the fire witch

[WordWolf]

Not very Led Zepellin-y.

Maybe King Crimson, or Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Anyone?

[bulwinkl]

I didn't take it cos I thought it was too easy. It's "Court of the Crimson King" King Crimson.

Since I feel I've been hogging these lately I didn't answer sooner.

The black queen chants

The funeral march,

The cracked brass bells will ring;

To summon back the fire witch

To the Court of the Crimson King.

this might be stretching the year limit but here goes. it's also one of my favorite songs I could listen to the end guitar ql night.

"In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light

She had a ticket for the race just like me she was a victim of the night

I put my hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll

I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul"

The "year limit" is really a rule of thumb. It tends to work, but there's no REQUIREMENT it be followed.

Meanwhile, let's see.

This is definitely Dire Straits.

I recognize the slot machine lines.

Is this just "Espresso Love"?

[bulwinkl]

right group but wrong song.

[WordWolf]

*keeps trying to hum his way through*

How about Dire Straits' "Tunnel of Love"?

[bulwinkl]

You got it WordWolf. and BTW the part of it I especially like is the Outro guitar work it is so beautiful. specially off the Alchemy live album
