Name that Tune

[waysider]

Silly unrelated trivia

Sirius(the star) is also know as the "Dog Star"( Canis Majoris)

It is most visible during a period that occurs during the summer known as---- "The Dog Days"

See the tie in with the logo?

[anotherDan]

It's Latin name, Canis Majoris, would seem to mean "big dog"

?

[anotherDan]

music is what we like to play

all day all day all day all day all day

to soothe your soul, yeah

down at the beach y'all partying down

making love or lying around

to soothe your mind

This song is all about the groove.... not so much the lyrics. Got lots of air time. Y'all know the band.... these are not one-hit wonders.

It's called All Day Music, by War:

dig it. Close your eyes and listen..... what do you see?

========================================

try this one:

i'm your mamma, i'm your daddy

i'm that nigga in the alley

i'm your doctor, when in need

want some coke, have some weed

you know me, i'm your friend

your main boy, thick and thin

[Suda]

anotherDan,

Great tune! Thanks for the memories.

Some of us are a bit slow, may take a day or so to solve your lyrics. The one's you just posted are very familiar - trying to dig them out of the recesses of this old noggin.

Love your choice in music!

"Pusherman" by Curtis Mayfield?

Suda

[anotherDan]

You got it, Suda! Thank you! Your turn!

The "drummer" in the vid is just jiving..... "lip" drumming. LOL

Okay, here's a "chick" song. Love this artist.

felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy

Would fill the earth

And last, til the end of time

I'm gonna kick myself

[Tom Strange]

there's a song called "I'm gonna kick myself"...???

I thought it was "the first time ever I saw your face"... a whole bunch of different people have performed it...

[Suda]

Tombo is right. You're up.

Why you gonna kick yourself, another Dan? Too chick-y or because you can't remember, or another reason?

Suda

[anotherDan]

Tom, LOL Very Good

Suda, I just couldn't place the melody... it was "right there". Good one.

Was it Roberta Flack that had the first big hit with it?

[Tom Strange]

here's one for you other old fogies:

(it's only one line, but it should be enough to get stuck in your brain and drive you crazy)

Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming,

To take my ship away from me?

[anotherDan]

Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather'd every rack,

the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! heart! heart!

O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up- for you the flag is flung- for

you the bugle trills,

For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths- for you the shores

a-crowding,

For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;

Here Captain! dear father!

This arm beneath your head!

It is some dream that on the deck,

You've fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,

My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,

The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,

From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;

Exult O shores, and ring O bells!

But I with mournful tread,

Walk the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.

Walt Whitman

nope, that's not it. Maybe it's "Ride Captain, Ride" If it is, I have no idea who sang that.

"Ride Captain Ride" was by Blues Image... but that's not it...

Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming,

To take my ship away from me?

Youd better think about it, I just cant live without it.

So, please dont take my ship from me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah ...

[Suda]

How's about "I'm Your Captain" by Grand Funk Railroad? If I'm right (or wrong), can another Dan post the youtube connection to it? Loving being an old fogie and listening to all the music of my youth.

And, yes, another Dan, Roberta Flack is the first one I recall recording "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". Have the CD that one is on, and enjoy listening to it.

Suda

[anotherDan]

I'm getting closer to my home....

1971, in NY

12/23/72, in Madison Sq. Garden, w/ discussion about their stand against drugs afterwards

GOOD job, Suda!

[Suda]

Thanks Another Dan. Especially liked the 2nd one with the interview. Kids are facing the same things today, get at the reason for the desire to "escape", handle it, and then leave the drugs behind.

Okay, here are some lyrics.

Ah, now I don't hardly know her

But I think I could love her

Suda

[anotherDan]

Crimson and Clover

Tommy James and the Shondells...

You've got a thing or two to learn about me baby

Edited October 12, 2007 by anotherDan

[Suda]

Stumped. Not ringing any bells.

Suda

[anotherDan]

You've got a thing or two to learn about me baby

And I ain't taking it no more, and I don't mean maybe.

You don't know right from wrong, and what we had is gone.

[Suda]

My hunch is it's a good country song, but still not familiar.

Suda

[anotherDan]

you got that right.

[Tom Strange]

Crimson and Clover

Tommy James and the Shondells...

You've got a thing or two to learn about me baby

that is soooo freaky! because before I decided to post the GFR song I was going to post "Crystal Blue Persuasion"...

Don't like to leave ya hangin' too long. I guess there are no countrified people browsing the Name That Tune thread at the moment. It is a great (and fun) song, and I think akin to the second one sung by a very young (someone said he was 15) Hank Williams Jr.

My clues were from the very first lines... It's Patty Loveless, "Blame it on Your Lyin' Cheatin' Heart"

pedigree:

great sound quality on both of these... amazing for the second one, with reverb and all

Next Song:

Mother mother, there's too many of you cryin'

Brother brother brother there's far too many of you dying

That is freaky, Tom

Suda.... I should have done better on the science test

I'm throwing you a softball, people. Underhand.
