My son used to be a fan of this group so that puts me at an unfair advantage. So, I'll just bow out....wouldn't want to spill the beans or anything like that.

Yeah, I think you should answer with the help of your son. My stepson is autistic, but he's a very high functioning person. He watches a zillion movies every week. Sometimes, when I'm stumped I ask him for help with clues because he's quite the movie goer and watcher. I don't about an unfair advantage using a member of your immediate family to help with a few of these clues. Anyway, I don't see anything wrong with it.
I'm not sure I understand, WW. I didn't post a song because I was involved in something else at that moment. That's why I offered up a free post in lieu of my turn. Sorry if I did something wrong. That wasn't my intention.

No problem. You may note that when you add an emoticon to a post, it appears in your draft as the code. You can type the code instead of clicking the emoticon. Sometimes, it's just faster to type colon-lol-colon than to find the :lol: emoticon!

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.

I didn't really. Only a few phrases. I could never understand
much.
My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well
Yeah, but when our talk was through
I said, brother, if you only knew
You'd wish that you were in my shoes

Let's see if anyone can pull this one out of their hat, newer 2008 tune.
They say I need some rogaine to put in my hair
Work it out at the gym to fit my underwear
Oakley makes the shades to transform a tool
You'd hate for the kids to think that you've lost your cool

No promises. I don't know this one, and if I don't, and you're excluded from guessing,
it's likely no one might. Or someone could surprise me, but that's not a sure thing.
Just saying.

yeah sure, what the heck. This one's a golden oldie. Anyone who was in high school in the mid 70's should know it. :-)
The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

Well, I was in college in the early 70's, so I don't know it.

PS. If you type colon-hyphen-close parenthesis :-) you get the "text smiley." If you type only colon-close parenthesis, you get the icon smiley :)
semicolon-close parenthesis gives you the wink ;)

I'm familiar with a few others by Weezer, notably "Buddy Holly".
(I love the video, with Weezer playing at "Arnold's" on Happy Days.)
Then there's "Keep Fishin'" with the Muppets.
Waysider, you just refused to post a song twice in a row, with the second one being
after you posted pretty quickly after someone posted lyrics.
I would have LIKED to either try to guess YOUR song, or answer THIS one
(I like "Yes" and "Yess" and "Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe.")
I'm confident you didn't mean it, but it's like you're TRYING to stop me from
enjoying the thread by playing by the rules. If you were going to refuse to go,
couldn't you just announce the answer out loud, not post, and let me or someone else
fairly answer it?

I think it was the TV show thread, where it happened. There was someone who kept posting
with the correct answers, and kept refusing to take a turn at posting something for
someone else to guess. It didn't seem fair, then. I mean, it took time to try to
find a good candidate for a round (TV show), then find good quotes that were
possible to guess from. On the other side, it was fun to try to guess.
So it was like someone was refusing to do the work of the thread, but insisted
on posting the answers several times, which meant the others couldn't fairly
"win" a round by guessing correctly. I mean, anybody can be busy once or possibly
twice, but in that case it seemed like they were doing it on purpose.
This was obviously not the same thing- you play nice with the rest of us all the
time. However, it was starting to feel the same, especially since you posted
FAST with an answer and immediately replied "Ok, someone else take my turn."
I felt the need to bring it up. I think I know you better than that, and it
might even have appeared one way to me but I was sure it was something different.

As long as we're temporarily off-topic...have any of you heard Yes' Drama album from1980? It' my FAVORITE rock recording of all time. I think it represents the zenith of the genre.
What do you other YES fans think? :)
Thanks for the emoticon tip George. :)

As someone who came to classic rock more after much of it came out, I have heard a lot
of songs without knowing the albums they came from.
(I know them from radio-play or compilation albums OR their original albums.)
So, it's not reminding me of anything yet.
===============================
In other news, let's try another song.
This one is more to the usual tastes on this thread,
but is also more recent. (1999.)
And has an interesting piece of trivia for classic rockers.
"First class and fancy-free, she's high society.
She's got the best of everything.
What could a guy like me ever really offer her?
She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother?"

She's So High Above Me, or So High Above Me!
I don't peruse know the name, that's just the catch phrase.

Well, you included the entire title, "She's So High".
I usually prefer the artist be included, but I can live without that.
The original artist (there were covers) was Tal Bachman.
Tal Bachman's dad is Randy Bachman, the Bachman of Bachman Turner Overdrive.
I've heard it said (could be a rumor) that Tal got the idea for the song
when someone told him about some woman he was scared to approach because
she was out of his league. "She's so high above me."
(His stepbrother? He supposedly tried to get the hottest girl in his
high school to go out with his stepbrother...)
Your turn!

I had no idea who the artist is, however I have heard of Tal Bachman.
Didn't know he was the daddy of the B in BTL.
Why in the world are we here?
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there?
When your everywhere
Gonna get your share

He was the SON of the B in BTO.
(Maybe you mistyped and meant exactly that.)
