Name that Tune

[Human without the bean]

Well, I read some books, and I read some magazines
About those high-class ladies down in New Orleans

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Familiar, but I need a few more lines.

It's pretty easy imo but sure.

Well, I read some books, and I read some magazines
About those high-class ladies down in New Orleans
And all the folks back home, well, said I was a fool
They said, oh, "Believe in the Lord" is the golden rule

[WordWolf]

The pacing reminds me of the Rolling Stones.

 

"Brown Sugar"???????

Maybe you both are having *brain farts* or thinking too hard.  This shouldn't take more than 2 seconds to get this.

The early 70's song appeared on the first album to go # 1 in a line of 7 #1 ALBUMS IN A ROW.

I'm thinking maybe Elton John.

Honky Cat?

That's it.

[WordWolf]

George had an unfair advantage in answering that one. He IS a honky cat!

 

No need to get up, I'll just let myself out....

You're just a step on the bossman's ladder
But you've got dreams he'll never take away."

Dolly Parton, working "NINE TO FIVE."  Would you believe we had to sing that song in chorus?

Got it in one!

[Human without the bean]

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain

[Human without the bean]

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place
Where, as a child, I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

"SWEET CHILD OF MINE," Guns N Roses.

Yep.

[WordWolf]

We haven't done this song in a while, IIRC.

"Tito Puente, Boffalongo, Cuba, War, and even Mongo, Peter Dial, Alex Hood, And Boogie Brass, woo!"

Is this an REM song WordWolf?

It is not.  I would also be shocked if they ever did a cover of it.  Michael Stipe may never have heard of this song.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

It's not a verse I remember, but it sounds like "Life Is a Rock" by Reunion.
