Name that Tune

[Human without the bean]

This hint gives it away.  ~Captain and Tennile~  Muskrat Love.  I wouldn't have got it otherwise.  Now, I see the lyrics were obvious but I didn't click on them.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I was going to use "Do That to Me One More Time," but that's about the only lyric in the song.

Ahhhhhh…….

George

[Human without the bean]

So I'm going to assume that was correct.

 

Well, let her be somebody else's queen
I don't want to know about it
There's too many others that know what I mean
And that's why I got to live without it

And that's why I got to live without it

All the stories coming back to me
From my friends and the people I don't want to see
The things they say I know just couldn't be true
At least not until I hear it from you

 

'Cause I still love the little girl I'm talking about
I'm in love with the girl I can't live without
I'm in love but I feel like I'm wearin' it out

 

[WordWolf]

Reminds me of a Gin Blossoms song, but it's definitely not the same song.

[Human without the bean]

Definitely not WordWolf.  Much earlier tune.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

This part seems very familiar, but I can't place it:

'Cause I still love the little girl I'm talking about
I'm in love with the girl I can't live without
I'm in love but I feel like I'm wearin' it out

George

[Human without the bean]

Yeah it's kind of a catchy tune.  

I'm in love with the girl that I'm talking about
I'm in love with the girl I can't live without
I'm in love but I sure picked  [title here]
To be in love
To be in love

Well, let her be somebody else's queen
I don't want to know about it
There's too many others that know what I mean
And that's why I got to live without it

I'm in love with the girl I'm talking about
I'm in love with the girl I can't live without
I'm in love but I feel like I'm wearin' it out
I'm in love but I must have picked [song title] to be in love
[Song title] to be in love
[Song title] to be in love
[Song title] to be in love

[GeorgeStGeorge]

A Bad Time (but I don't know the performer)

George

[Human without the bean]

They became a Funk band without the railroad.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Grand Funk?

George

[Human without the bean]

Yes.  Your go.

 

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Ooga-chucka-ooga-ooga

Ooga-chucka-ooga-ooga

[WordWolf]

I've got the song. I'm having trouble remembering the artist. 

[Human without the bean]

If anyone finds another post it was me. I first thought that B J Thomas sang "I'm Hooked on a Feeling" but I wasn't sure.  I can't think of another artist.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

BJ Thomas did sing this song, but he didn't do this version.  (No Ooga-chuckas in his version.)

George

[Human without the bean]

So, what do you say George, is that  good enough to win this round?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Nope.  Unless no one else gets it.

The general rule for covers is, if the lyrics as given are in more than one version, any one of them is fine.  If the lyrics are specific to a particular version, then that one must be given.

Here's a hint:  it wasn't Red Finn.

George

[Human without the bean]

Rules, rules, rules.  We're the only ones playing!

Moving on:     In the town where I was born,  lived a man who sailed to sea, and he told us of his life, In the land of submarines.  Just passing time here waiting........  Trust me.  No one will get it.

Fine.  It was Blue Swede.

Go.

George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Human.  Go.

George

[Human without the bean]

OK.  

I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through

 

You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow

[Human without the bean]

 

The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Was born to grow and die

 

Oh it doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day

 

I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through

 

You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow

*checks*    Sorry. I have heard of this artist. I have heard of this song.  I have heard this song.  Except for the titular line, I have no idea of the lyrics and could not place the song to save my life.   But you did give me a good, sporting chance.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I don't recognize it.  Sorry.
