Name that Tune

Irish, there's a 1985 cut-off due to the advanced age of most of the posters here. Please keep the songs pre- 86

That's not a RULE, but a general "rule-of-thumb" I came up with for myself.

Seems most times I post something after 1986, I can post the whole song and nobody

gets it. Around Halloween was the last time I tried to disregard my personal "rule",

and we had about a week where I was posting songs nobody'd heard of.

There's no official date cut-off for this thread, but it is true that most of us playing are older and remember songs from our youth better than the ones booming out of some kid's car. :D

And I've got shirts older thatn 21 years!

GSG: I don't think I'd be proud about the shirt deal. Too much information, thank you very much. But, what I really want to know is DO THEY STILL FIT YA?

Need some more info?

Have another Chivas Regal

You're 12 years old and sex is legal

Your parents don't know where or who you are

Great big wars in little places

Look at all those frightened faces

But don't come here

We just don't have the room

Love thy neighbor's wife and daughter

cleanse yourself with holy water

We don't need to bathe

We've got perfume

I had no clue on the first one, IrishEyes - and got no clue on this one either. :unsure:

I looked up "Used to Be" by Stevie Wonder on You Tube and don't believe I've ever heard that song before.

:dance:

I saw the words "holy water" and thought, at first, it might be this song, but the rest of the lyrics did not sound right.

Thanks for the "something new" :)

You never know.

Obviously, there are a lot of tunes on the airwaves that I never heard (or at least, never paid attention to). There are also songs that have a lot of regional airplay. Back in the 70's, I remember a song about Lake Shore Drive. It got a LOT of airplay in Chicago, but I doubt anyone outside of Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin ever heard it!

Irisheyes, can you give us a general timeframe for your song?

George
