Name that Tune

[WordWolf]

"Save Tonight", Eagle-Eye Cherry.

When watching the video, watch for when the robber tries to eat the money.

(The artist pointed that out once.)

Son of Don Cherry, brother to Neneh Cherry, he uses his legal first and last name.

His father named him that when he first saw him. Eagle-Eye opened one eye and

looked at his father.

"You're playing so cool.

Obeying every rule.

Dig way down in your heart."

[WordWolf]

"You're playing so cool.

Obeying every rule.

Deep way down in your heart

You're burning yearning for

Somebody to tell you

That life ain't passing you by.

I'm trying to tell you

It will if you don't even try."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

This one does seem familiar, but I can't associate a melody with the words.

"You're playing so cool.

Obeying every rule.

Deep way down in your heart

You're burning yearning for

Somebody to tell you

That life ain't passing you by.

I'm trying to tell you

It will if you don't even try."

"We've got to turn it around,

and put your feet on the ground.

Now take a hold of your soul"

(I seem to find different sources disagreeing on the exact lyrics,

but this is my best result.)

[WordWolf]

"Been working so hard.

I'm punching my card.

Eight hours for what?

Oh, tell me what I got.

I've got this feeling

That times are holding me down.

I'll hit the ceiling

Or else I'll tear up this town."

"You're playing so cool.

Obeying every rule.

Deep way down in your heart

You're burning yearning for

Somebody to tell you

That life ain't passing you by.

I'm trying to tell you

It will if you don't even try."

"We've got to turn it around,

and put your feet on the ground.

Now take a hold of your soul"

"Footloose" (by Kenny Loggins)?

[WordWolf]

"Footloose" (by Kenny Loggins)?

George

That's it.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

You put the boom-boom into my heart

You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts

Jitterbug into my brain

Goes abang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same

"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go", by Wham.

That's it.

"You're WHAT?

Tin Roof! Rusted."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Love Shack" by the B-52s.

This song is very popular. I can understand why women like it, but guys should hate it:

Tryin' to hold on to what he needs

He'd give up all his comforts, sleep out in the rain

If she said that's the way it ought to be.

George

[Human without the bean]

I recognize it. Just not the name or the artist. It maybe Otis Redding.

Is it When a man loves a woman?

You've got the song right, so I'll give it to you. Percy Sledge did the most famous version, followed by Michael Bolton.

The only good thing about the song is that women will usually dance REALLY CLOSE to it. Maybe that's why guys like it. Of course, the lyrics describe the guy as a total idiot.

George

[Human without the bean]

Thanks. I should of at least said Michael Bolton. My wife and I recently had a conversation about the song.

When there's no where else to run

Is there room for one more son

One more son

If you can hold on,

If you can hold on, hold on

I wanna stand up, I wanna let go

You know, you know ~ no you don't, you don't

I wanna shine on in the hearts of men

I wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand

Another head aches, another heart breaks

I am so much older than I can take

And my affection, well it comes and goes

I need direction to perfection, no no no no

I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Yeah, you know you gotta help me out

Yeah, Oh don't you put me on the back burner

You know you gotta help me out

Your gonna bring yourself down

Yeah, your gonna bring yourself down

Yeah, your gonna bring yourself down

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier

If no one guesses soon, and I'm betting they won't, I'll reveal this one for another one.

OK, I thought someone would recognize it with the "I'm not a soldier part" included. Not for everyone I guess.

~The Killers~ All These Things That I Have Done

There would be another song for me

For I will sing it

There would be another dream for me

Someone will bring it

I will drink the wine while it is warm

And never let you catch me looking at the sun

And after all the loves of my life

After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one

[Human without the bean]

Come on WordWolf, I know you know this one.

There would be another song for me

For I will sing it

There would be another dream for me

Someone will bring it

I will drink the wine while it is warm

And never let you catch me looking at the sun

And after all the loves of my life

After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one

[WordWolf]

Now I might not get sleep trying to figure this one...

[Human without the bean]

Well I wouldn't want that, so here's a little more

There would be another song for me

For I will sing it

There would be another dream for me

Someone will bring it

I will drink the wine while it is warm

And never let you catch me looking at the sun

And after all the loves of my life

After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands, and I will use it

I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it

I will have the things that I desire

And my passion flow like rivers through the sky

And after all the loves of my life

Oh, and after all the loves of my life

I will be thinking of you - and wondering why

[WordWolf]

Come on WordWolf, I know you know this one.

There would be another song for me

For I will sing it

There would be another dream for me

Someone will bring it

I will drink the wine while it is warm

And never let you catch me looking at the sun

After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one

*checks*

I know I don't know this one.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

It's got a nice lyric, but I don't recognize it at all.

George

[Human without the bean]

Here's the beginning of the song. If this doesn't do anything I'll give it up.

Spring was never waiting for us, girl

It ran one step ahead

As we followed in the dance

Between the parted pages and the prayers

Still love's hot, fevered iron

Like a striped pair of pants

[Human without the bean]

RichardHarris (the actor) was the first to record this song. I remember My little sister would play her 45 rpm over and over again and in 1968, the song played frequently on the radio as well, reaching # 2 on the American charts. Unusual for a song of it's length over 7 minutes long, it comprised of four movements, amid-tempo arrangement, a slow tempo and quiet arrangement, an Allegro, and finally a reprise of the first arrangement. Harris used MacArthur Park to debut his pop career. Donna Summer recorded it, Waylon Jennings's too and others.
