Name that Tune

Ah, a U-2 song!

That's "DESIRE!"

(Got it once I extended the line to the next line-

"She's a promise in the year of election.")

Probably too easy, this one.

"Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor

I met a girl so fair.

But Gollum, and the Evil One crept up

And slipped away with her."

that's why I couldn't answer. It's a Led Zep tune. I never did understand their lyrics. The only lyric I ever understood of theirs was "And she's buying a stairway to seven". Any song that I have no idea about must be led Zeppelin I figure.

I had a rule like that somewhere that helped me narrow down guesses.

Those specific lines are easy to remember if you're a Led Zeppelin fan, or a fan of JRR Tolkien ("Lord of the Rings"),

or, if both, VERY easy to remember.

Mordor's the bad-guy territory in LotR/"Middle-Earth",

Gollum was the previous holder of the "One Ring", still seeking to hold his "precioussss" again.

When they wrote the song, the books were popular, but, IIRC, there were no movies yet, not even the cartoons.

(Yes, I can research it online, but I don't care enough at the moment.)

I'm sorry irisheyes... but I'm gonna need more than one line... ya know I'm a year older now and the ole bean just aint workin' too good!

It really was your birthday? I thought it was a joke. :biglaugh: We did that to someone once .... well, never mind. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Tom.

This will in all likelihood give it away:

"Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love

Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up

I loosen up"
