Is it Bulldog by The Beetles?

"Hey, Bulldog", by 4 guys from Liverpool with funny haircuts.

The movie "Yellow Submarine" originally had a scene with this song, which more recent released of it include.

Thanks, waysider. I was wondering if I was going to have to post most of the song.

To WordWolf:

I was sure thinking that those lyrics had something to do with Lennon, but couldn't place it myself.

I'd be interested in seeing all the words, even by pm - if no one else is interested...

"What becomes of the broken hearted"

Who have love that's now departed

I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind

Baaaaa-beeeee

I know Joe Cocker recorded it, but I believe the song came out of Motown first,

just don't know that particular artist - although I can hear him singing it!

You are correct, bfh.

Though it was originally recorded by Jimmy Ruffin, Joe Cocker also did a fine rendition.

Here is a clip from Standing In The Shadows Of Motown, a highly recommended film which documents the history of Motown's studio band, The Funk Brothers.

To find the lyrics to any song I just always Google "Lyrics to *name of song*"

Here's what I do.

If I only know part of the lyrics, I Google those in quotes, with the word "lyrics".

In this case, that would have been

"lyrics" "you can talk to me"

If I know the artist, I add the artist's name, like

"lyrics" "beatles" "you can talk to me".

If I know the title and part of the song, but not the artist, I put that...

"lyrics" "beatles" "you can talk to me."

If I know the title and artist:

"lyrics" "beatles" "hey bulldog"

Please note that doing that to get an answer for this thread is cheating.

If I'm posting the song, however, I should look it up so I know I'm putting the right words up.

I should also check if more than one artist did the song.

For example, when I posted the Smiths' "How Soon is Now?", someone posted the artist

as "Everclear." I checked. Sure enough, Everclear did a cover of the EXACT same song.

So, their answer was correct.

If you go to YouTube, and put the title and artist's names in quotes, you often can find the song.

Even if the artist never made a video of it, sometimes a fan has done so, using

footage of the artist, or related footage, or something.

I've found a number of songs like that.

It's an easy way to pass along a song to someone-by passing along the link.

Please note 2 things:

A) NEARLY every song I've ever heard can be found this way.

I know of songs that can't be found like this. I'd say 99% of all songs I've ever heard can be

found this way.

B) Just because a set of lyrics is posted doesn't mean every word is CORRECT.

When I'm unsure, I check a few results, and note the differences.

(And some pages copy the WRONG lyrics from other pages.)

Every once in a while, I look for the lyrics to the old cartoon show "the Groovy Ghoulies."

So far, I've never found a single hit that has the CORRECT lyrics.

She was only a girl

I know that well, but still I could not see

That the hold that she had

Was much stronger than the love she felt for me.

But staying with her

And my little bit of wisdom

Broke down her desires

Like light through a prism

Into yellows and blues

And the tune that I could not have sung

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

And she touched me for a moment

With a look that spoke to me of her sweet love

New Tune:

Even rode my motorcycle in the rain

And you told me not to drive

But I made it home alive

So you said that only proves that I'm insane

That's a Billy Joel tune. Not so sure of the name though. . . "You May Be Right?"

has something about being crazy, and being a lunatic in there.

but maybe I should just be quiet here, since I'm not so sure of a title?

Wing:

Actually, you are right on both counts - Song and artist!

Here's the part of the song you were thinking of:

You may be right

I may be crazy

But it just might be a lunatic you're looking for

And never be shy about saying anything here...All guesses are welcome.

So, guess what?

It's your turn....
