Name that Tune

[Human without the bean]

When I look up to the sky
I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow
I rush home to bed I soak my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning, tired, still yawning
See your face come peeping through my window

Windows echo your reflection
When I look in their direction now
When will this haunting stop?
Your face it just won't leave me alone

I think I'm going to pull the reins back on this one.  It was a psychedelic sounding song by ~Status Quo~ called "Pictures of Matchstick Men and You".  I remember posting this a few months ago.  It doesn't have enough lyrics to make it a worthy clue.  Let's do another one.

"Well, we're having a ball just 'a bopping on the big dance floor
Well, there's a real square cat, he looks a 1974
Well, yeah, he looked at me once, he looked at me twice
Looked at me again and there's gonna be figh"t

[Human without the bean]

"Well, we found a little place that really didn't look half bad
I had a whiskey on the rocks and changed half a dollar for the jukebox
Well, I put a quarter right into that can
But all they played was music hall, man
Come on, baby, baby, let's get out of here right away"

 

"Well, we're having a ball just 'a bopping on the big dance floor
Well, there's a real square cat, he looks a 1974
Well, yeah, he looked at me once, he looked at me twice
Looked at me again and there's gonna be fight"

Say WordWolf, you're up on a few of these threads!

Isn't this quote a little short on detail for the Name That Tune thread?  I mean, I wouldn't know it!

Oddly enough, when I mentioned I was using this song, WordPup quoted this line to me immediately.

[WordWolf]

"I'm a cool dude in a loose mood."

 

"Hey, two ginger ales for my girls!"

 

"Who is this guy?"

 

"Hey, I don't know if you care, but the doctor said you know, I ain't gonna make it much longer, you know what I mean?"

 

"Hey, what did you say your name was?"

 

"I know you want to party tonight- I got an idea. What do you say we go down to Louie's Pizza?"

 

"I stick my hands in fans for fun!"

IS a song. And it got plenty of airplay, if not recently.  And it had a music video that aired on MTV.

I'll accept the song's name without the band, because a lot of people heard the song but didn't know the band's name. 

And if you try to cheat, you might not find it- the lyric websites seem to skip this song!

 

[Human without the bean]

Clearly not familiar with this one and probably why WordPub recognized it.

If you're suggesting Wordpup's music tastes are for recent stuff, you're incorrect.  If you're suggesting he's heard it get airplay recently on the radio or MTV, again, you're incorrect.   This song was an 80s hit.

'I have a dim recollection of the song/video....bunch of people in a bar, but I can't recall the title or band...and the bar recollection could be way off in left field.    Tough one, WordWolf!  Good mental exercise!

I think you recall the actual video.  Do you remember this guy's name in the song/video?

"Move over, boy, I got better things to do. I got plans and they don't include you tonight, tonight, tonight!     Who is this guy?"

 

"Who does this guy think he is?"

 

"What do you say, uh, come on. Give me a break.  I mean, like me and you and your girlfriend, we could,  you know what I mean, we could - *SLAP* Aw, man!  Why'd you have to go and do that for?"

 

 

 

I wonder if Ace Frehley is embarrassed by this song, or if he thinks the whole thing is funny, by now.

[redrock and blues]

Ace Frehley....I'll be danged!  Just found it on youtube and had a good laugh.  Hadn't seen that since the 80s sometime when I was cleaning/repairing condos in Breckenridge.   Got to wonder if the rest of the Kiss guys thought it was funny too.  Good challenge, WordWolf!

"Eugene".  For the curious, the band was "Crazy Joe and the Variable Speed Band". a side project Ace Frehley kept denying he worked on.

I'm the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment

Getting comfy, getting perfect is all I live for

But a look and then a smell of perfume

It's like I'm down on the floor and I don't know what I'm in for

Conversation has a time and a place in the interaction of a lover and a mate

But the time of talking, using symbols, using words

Can be likened to a deep sea diver who is swimming with a raincoat.

[WordWolf]

*stands closer*

[Raf]

I don't need to try to explain

I just hold on tight

And if it happens again I might 

Move so slightly

Into the arms and the face of the human cannonball

And I need to

I want to
