Name that Tune

[waysider]

Hey, Hey! We're The Primates.

[now I see]

Hey, hey, that's very politically correct of you!

[waysider]

So I hope you see

That I would love to love you

And that she will cry

when she learns we are two

'cause I couldn't stand the pain

And I would be sad

If our new love was in vain

[waysider]

I've been in love before.

And I know that love is more than just holding hands.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I know it's a Beatles tune, but I can't think of the title. And I'll be away from computers for a couple of days, anyway.

George

[waysider]

No guesses??

Should I post the answer?

[now I see]

Nope, no need to do that!  I was waiting for George to post, but I think he's away for a few days, is it, If I fell, by the Beatles?This video actually looks like a bootleg copy at a live performance, sounds like John is a little off key in the begining, must have been hard to hear with all those screaming teenagers.  They still got it, even after all these years, I love their early stuff.

You got it!

If I Fell-----------The Beatles

(Here's a better sounding clip of it.)

That is a better cut, although I do like the rawness and energy of the live performances, especially from a band like the Beatles since their music is so well known and mostly from studio recordings.

I'll post a new one tomorrow.

Cheers!

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block

And I sit at home looking out the window Imagining the world has stopped

Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a Union Jack

And says I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack

"Hey, You! Get Off of My Cloud!"

The Rolling Stones

George

[now I see]

You are right George!!!! Hey, I thought you were supposed to be gone for a few days?

Piece of trivia, the inspiration for the last line in the quote above was from an american tv commercial about switching laundry detergents that Keith Richards watched in the 60's.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I WAS gone for a few days.

If you're filled with affection

you're too shy to convey,

meditate in my direction.

Feel your way.

George

[now I see]

Glad you're back, is it - You're the One that I Want, Olivia Newton John/John Travolta?

That's it!

George

[now I see]

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.

And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips

[bulwinkl]

You lost that loving feeling

Righteous Brothers I beleive

Blue eyed soul

[now I see]

Yessir, you are right!!  Take it away! 

[bulwinkl]

Someone should call his parents or a sister or a brother

And they’ll come and take him back home on a bus

But he’ll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother

And he’ll always be another one of us

And he’ll always be another one of us

He said he wanted heaven but prayin’ was too slow

So he bought a one-way ticket on an airline made of snow

Did you say you saw your good friend flyin’ low

Snowblind Friend by Hoyt Axton

Of course and a great song if I might add.

[bowtwi]

I agree - it's a great song! He was quite a songwriter!

Jack, he is a banker

Jane, she is a clerk

Both of them save their money

When they come home from work

Jack, he is a banker

Jane, she is a clerk

Both of them save their money

When they come home from work

Sittin by the fire

Radio does play, a little classical music there, kids

The march of the wooden soldiers

You can hear jack say

[bowtwi]

It was Sweet Jane by Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground.
