Name that Tune

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Revolution" by the Beatles

She wants to return the things I bought her

Tell her she can kepp them, just the same.

George

I think I wore out this record when I was a young-un.

"Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" - Herman's Hermits

New one:

Put his arms around your waist, held you tight.

Kisses I could almost taste, in the night

[GeorgeStGeorge]

This one I wore out

"Silhouettes" It was my favorite song when Herman's Hermits did it, though I confess I didn't understand the words correctly. It wasn't until I heard the Rays' version of it on an oldies station that I realized that the guy was at the wrong house!

But there's one thing I know

The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

George

[Human without the bean]

~B J Thomas~ Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

New song:

You gave me something, i understand,

You gave me loving in the palm of my hand

I can't tell you how i feel

My heart is like a wheel

"Let Me Roll It" - Paul McCartney and Wings

New One:

I'm about to give you all of my money

And all I'm askin' in return, honey

Is to give me my propers when you get home

[Human without the bean]

A little RESPECT

I got some groceries, some peant butter,

to last a couple of days

But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no

headphones, ain't got no records to play

[bfh]

Is it "Life During Wartime" - Talking Heads?

[Human without the bean]

Yes. Your up.

[bfh]

New One:

Think the time is right for violent revolution

'Cause where I live the game to play is compromise solution

Well then what can a poor boy do

'Cept to sing for a rock and roll band

[waysider]

Street Fighting Man....Stones

Love you forever and forever

Love you with all my heart

Love you whenever we're together

Love you when we're apart.

"I Will" - The Beatles - White Album

New One:

Cruisin' on through the junction

I'm flyin' about the speed of sound

Noticing peculiar function

I ain't no roller coaster show me down.

[Human without the bean]

One of my favorite CCR songs. Only trouble is I can't tell what John Fogerty is saying but love the song!

Sweet Hitchhiker ~CCR~

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon

Going to the candidates' debate

Laugh about it shout about it when you've got to choose

Every way you look at it you lose

[waysider]

Mrs. Robinson...Simon and Garfunkel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsUKKOPak_s&feature=related

Oh, I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while

taking her meal, bathing, fine lady

This one day I happen to be real close to her

and I saw her standing over there

so I snuck up on her nice and easy

got my rope out

and I flung it in the air!

[Human without the bean]

I through my rope in the air? Just kidding.

[waysider]

I just threw that one in there because the lyrics sound so....ya know? when they're taken out of context.

It's Chestnut Mare..... by The Byrds

FREE POST!!!!!

[Human without the bean]

Thanks waysider. I'll take it.

Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail.

Richmond 'bout to blow up, communication failed.

If you see the answer, now's the time to say.

All I want, All I want is to get you down to pray.

Few more lines:

Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains.

Somebody said it's diff'rent now, look, it's just the same.

Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth.

They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you?

Guess that one's not that easy. It's Wrote A Song For Everyone, ~CCR~

Here's one:

Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine

Watching it from the bench

You know I took some lumps, when the mighty Case struck out

Another one:

Now, when I was just a little boy,

Standin' to my Daddy's knee,

My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you

Do what he done to me."

"Born on the Bayou" - CCR

New One:

Just get an electric guitar

Then take some time

And learn how to play

And with your hair swung right

[bfh]

Here's more:

Just get an electric guitar

Then take some time

And learn how to play

And with your hair swung right

And your pants too tight

It's gonna be all right

Then it's time to go downtown

Where the agent man won't let you down

[bfh]

The song is <a href="http://youtu.be/h2uLuYrCyB8">"So You Want to Be a Rock and Roll Star."</a>

If you follow the above link (sorry, no embed allowed), you'll find Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers rocking the song.

If you listen closely, during the guitar solo there's a short rift (about 2:19) that's quite similar to "Eight Miles High,"

a homage, if you will, to The Byrds, who originally wrote and recorded the song.

Here's a new one:

Ride, take a free ride

Take my place

Have my seat

It's for free.

[Human without the bean]

I thought maybe that was Petty. Just couldn't come up with it.

Ride My See Saw ~Moody Blues~

I told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A.

Don't you know that I'm a gangster of love

Let me tell you people that I found a new way

[bfh]

"Space Cowboy" - Stevie Miller

New One:

Who would be a poor man, a beggar man, a thief

if he had a rich man in his hand

And who would steal the candy

from a laughing baby's mouth

[bfh]

Here's more:

Laughing in the playground

Gets no kicks from little boys

Would rather make it with a leeching grey

Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung

Who watches through the railings as they play
