Name that Tune

OK---Here's some more blues.

Gotta keep it somewhat mainstream.

This one's been covered by hundreds of people since Hudson Whittaker(Tampa Red) wrote it back in 1928.

Thus, it's gotten lots of airplay and the artist is--------- whoever you prefer.

( My personal favorite is Paul Butterfield, but Clapton did a pretty good version recently as well.)

The cops took my baby in.

She didn't need no bail.

She shook it once for the judge

And he put the cops in jail.

Sorry, Waysider, I've been busy. Plus, the weather was just too dam nice to be inside today.

Not too obscure; it's a great song, with great lyrics, especially the first verse:

When you love a woman

Baby love her with a thrill

Cause, if you don't

Somebody else will

Gotta love that!

I didn't know that Tampa Red wrote it way back in 1928.

And I didn't know Paul Butterfield did it either. I'll have to check that out.

Thanks for the Clapton clip - WOW. He sure can make that guitar talk.

He is insanely talented. Hope he records it, so I can add it to one of my playlists.

"Land of 1000 Dances" by Canniabal and the Headhunters?

George

You are correct, sir!

Actually, it predates Cannibal and the Head Hunters, but they are the ones who put in that "na na na na" part that has become an essential part of the tune.

Wilson Picket is the one who made it a big hit.

Rock On!!

*looks it up* That's the song.

And Elvis DID sing it.

With any song, any singer/band who did the song counts.

(General rule of airplay, of course applies. If we can't prove they did it,

you might be making it up.)

I think the weirdest correct answer was one of mine, when I identified

the performer of "Chubby Clementine" as DANNY AIELLO-

since he sang it for his "monologue" slot hosting Saturday Night Live.

Hey, it was a national broadcast, and you CAN look up what he did....

and he's the only one I've actually heard sing it...

So, your turn, dooj!

Thanks WW. Let's see if anyone knows this one:

"Do good girls do just what Mama says

when Mama's not around?"

"It's a feeling - Oy vey! What a feeling!"

I may have made a faux pas - this is from a musical - but a very popular musical.

I'm gonna burn that song... it was "You Are Woman, I Am Man" from Funny Girl, by Barbara Streisand. I took a chance.

New song:

"He blew his mind out in a car

He didn't notice that the lights had changed"

"Band on the Run" by Wings.

Pretty darn sure I'm right, so

They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place

George

"My Life" by Billy Joel

I know I'm right so I'm gonna post the next clue...

"Take your protein pills and put your helmet on"

"Space Oddity", by David Bowie.

Was he talking about a real astronaut, or someone on a drug trip?

We will never know for sure.....

This is ground control to WordWolf...

You're up, Dude!

And what a woman you are! ;)

:redface2:

How could you forget Helen Reddy? Go ahead, anyway.

George

I always associated Helen Reddy with Billy Jean King - but I don't know why...

New clue:

"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding."
