Name that Tune

[Human without the bean]

It was a one-hit wonder in the 70's

George

Sorry George, but It doesn't ring a bell.

Actually, it does ring a bell, it's just the bell doesn't have a ringer.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I'm going to open this up to a free post. Check out this, though:

[Human without the bean]

Oh yes, that's a fun song. You pulled out a gem George.

I didn't know it was done by studio musicians, namely Reunion.

Yeah, I don't know why I came here tonight

I got the feeling that something ain't right

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,

And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairs

Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right,

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I know the title, but not the performer.

Steelers Wheel, "Stuck in the Middle."

[Human without the bean]

Correcto. Your GO.

[WordWolf]

"Suck it in, suck it in, suck it in

If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn

Make a desperate move or else you'll win

And then begin to see what you're doing to me

This MTV is not for free

It's so PC it's killing me

So desperately I sing to thee

Of love

Sure but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self

And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf

I've tried, well, no in fact I lied

Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside

To hide or slide

I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died

And only then shall I abide this tide

Of catchy little tunes

Of hip three minute ditties

I wanna bust all your balloons

I wanna burn all of your cities to the ground

I've found

I will not mess around

Unless I play then hey

I will go on all day. Hear what I say

I have a prayer to pray

That's really all this was

And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck

I don't rely on luck because"

[WordWolf]

"There is something amiss.

I am being insincere.

In fact I don't mean any of this.

Still my confession draws you near.

To confuse the issue I refer

To familiar heroes from long ago.

No matter how much Peter loved her

What made the Pan refuse to grow?"

"Suck it in, suck it in, suck it in

If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn

Make a desperate move or else you'll win

And then begin to see what you're doing to me

This MTV is not for free

Oh Sh#t . Give me a minute.

It's ~Blues Traveler~ That's all I've got. "Luck" something?

It IS Blues Traveler.

You've probably misheard "THE HOOK" as "the luck."

But you have the song.

"The hook brings you down."

[Human without the bean]

Thanks Wolf.

The place where I come from is a small town

They think so small, they use small words

But not me, I'm smarter than that,

I worked it out

I'll be stretching my mouth to let those big words come right out

That was the angel Gabriel, who unmistakeably is a big time operator.

What?

It was Peter Gabriel's "Big Time"?

Well, close enough, right?

[Human without the bean]

Your right on. Go.

[WordWolf]

"see i'm a down home brother, redneck undercover

with my guitar here

i'm ready to play

and i'm s a sucker for a filly

got a natural ability I'm geared to freestyle

look at my flexibility

dangerous at the mike

my ghetto hat's cocked right

the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy"

[WordWolf]

"y’see it started way back in NYC

when i stole my first rhyme from the m.i.c.

at a west end avenue at '63

the beginning of a leap year, february, ’96

with a guitar picked up in the mix

i committed to the licks like a nickel bag of tricks

well look at me now

look at me now

look at me now, now, now, now."

Sounds like a W O W (way out, wild) song.

"We'll soon be on the radio dial

And I been payin' close attention to the Willie Nelson style

Like a band of gypsies on the highway while

I'm one man pushin' on the California skyline

Drive up the coast I brag the most

'Cuz I'm pickin' up my pace and makin' time like Space Ghost

Raising a toast to the highway patrol with the most

Put my cruise control on coast"

Well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow."

Josephine........kidding of course. I don't know

[WordWolf]

"With my hand in my pocket and I'm waiting for my rocket to come.

well look at me now

and look at you now

and look at us now, now, now, now."

"Well you're never gonna guess

Where I've been been been

And I have no regrets

That I bet my whole checking account

Because it all amounts to nothing up in the end

Well you can only count on the road again.

We'll soon be on the radio dial

And I been payin' close attention to the Willie Nelson style

If nobody gets it now, I'll give it up.

Honestly, I have NO idea...

George

[Human without the bean]

I can't figure if the genre is Hip Hop, or Country Rock?

Maybe KId Rock, but I don't listen to his music, so no clue.

[WordWolf]

Ok, I'm closing this one out.

It's Jason Mraz' "Curbside Prophet."

He does change the lyrics with different shows, a little.

I like the one on YouTube where John Popper plays harmonica

and the crowd jumps in at the right times.

I like that song, and his duet with Colbie Caillat, "Lucky."

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

Ok, next song.

"Can you count me in?"

[WordWolf]

"Can you count me in?"

"The rain is fallin' on my window pane

But we are hidin' in a safer place.

Under covers stayin' dry and warm

You give me feelings that I adore."

[WordWolf]

"Will you count me in?"

"The rain is fallin' on my window pane

But we are hidin' in a safer place.

Under covers stayin' dry and warm

You give me feelings that I adore."

"I've been asleep for a while now.

You tuck me in just like a child now.

'Cause every time you hold me in your arms

I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth.

And it starts in my soul

And I lose all control.

When you kiss my nose

The feeling shows.

'Cause you make me smile,

Baby just take your time

Now holdin' me tight."

WordWolf this is not ringing any bells. Actually I don't own any bells, Oh! There is the doorbell

which my dog will scream bloody murder if it's rung, but I have no clue.
