Name that Tune

[Human without the bean]

New song:

 

I was just 13 you might say I was a musical proverbial knee-high

When I heard a couple new sounding tunes on the tube and they blasted me sky high

Then the record man said everyone is a yellow sun record in Nashville

And up North there ain't nobody buy 'em and I said, but I will

Well there's sixteen thousand eight-hundred twenty-one mothers from Nashville

All their friends play music and they ain't uptight if one of the kids will

Because it's custom make for any mother's son to be a guitar picker in Nashville

And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about the music and the mothers from Nashville

Sorry, amigo.  This one REALLY doesn't ring any bells.

George

[Human without the bean]

Let's give it few hours before I give it up.  I know you know it George (because you were around in the 60's).  A popular hit it reached # 8 on the Billboard Top 100 in 1966.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Going with the Nashville line, let's try

Nashville Cats by the Lovin' Spoonful?

Well yeah, when you go with the Nashville line you would get Nashville Cats.  You've heard it, right George?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Yes, but I don't remember the tune.

New one:

From the park you hear the happy sound of the carousel
You can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell

George

Under the Boardwalk!

Of course.

George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

This would be Raf's turn, if he wants it...

George

[Raf]

Oh hello.

 

Pretend the water is champagne and fill my glass again and again.

[WordWolf]

IIRC, that's Howard Jones and "Life In A Day."      (If I recall poorly, it might be "Life in ONE Day"  and I may have the artist wrong.) 

[Raf]

Life in One Day

Howard Jones.

 

 

That song got me through my divorce

[WordWolf]

I remember a DJ giving that as the name, back when it charted.  That darn DJ steered me wrong!   Ok, next song...

[WordWolf]

"With a few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat.
No matter what we get out of this,
I know, I know we'll never forget."

[WordWolf]

"We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there.

With a few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat.
No matter what we get out of this,
I know, I know we'll never forget."

Wasn't it Deep Purple who did "Smoke On The Water"?

Yeah it was.

Yeah it was.

It was, and that's the title and artist for this song.    Your turn.         Did you know that song was based on an actual event, a fire at a studio by a lake shore? 

[Human without the bean]

Yes I did know that.  I'll come up with something.

[Human without the bean]

Hold it, I got to quit this runnin' 'round
Hold it, Never gonna get rid of these blues
Hold it, I got to find somebody to love
Slow me down, yeah
My, what a time, Look out now

When I get older, mellowed down
Get myself settled on a patch of ground
Takin' it easy, live everyday
Me and the raven, we make our way

Time's a marching on.  No guesses so I'll just move on.  ~Stephen Stills~  Sit Yourself Down  He was at Woodstock, the first one.

Next song:

Won't you take me back to school

I need to learn the golden rule

Won't you lay it on the line

I need to hear it just one more time

 

[GeorgeStGeorge]

This one actually seems familiar.

Won't you lay it on the line
I need to hear it just one more time
Oh oh wont you tell me again
Oh oh can you feel it
Oh oh wont you tell me again tonight

Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely one
Oh oh wont you tell me again
Oh oh can you feel it
Oh wont you tell me again tonight

Oh oh wont you tell me again
Oh oh can you feel it
Oh wont you tell me again tonight

'Cause out on the ocean of life my love
There's so many storms we must rise above
Can you hear the spirit calling?
As it's carried across the waves

You're already falling it's calling you back to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling the one that it's calling is you

Make a promise take a vow
And trust your feelings it's easy now
Understand the voice within
And feel the changes already beginning

Oh won't you tell me again, oh can you feel it?
Won't you tell me again tonight?
