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.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

"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...

Wing, Out of curiosity I just found the song on YouTube. It's pretty cool:
Hey Bulldog <==click here
To find the lyrics to any song I just always Google "Lyrics to *name of song*"

"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!

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

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....
