Name that Tune

Maybe some clues will jog the ol' memories.

This artist had a couple of other well known hits, not to mention he was part of another popular duo band.

But you know he'll always keep moving

You know he's never gonna stop moving

'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone

And when you wake up, it's a new morning

The sun is shining, it's a new morning

And your going, your going home

That other duo band was ~Steelers Wheel~.

Again, I thought it was pumped a lot of pane (as in petrol) down in New Orleans. It would make sense.

Trying to make do the best you can, cleaning dishes, pumping gas.

"'tane" is short for "octane." (Specifically, HIGH octane.) So, you're right about the gasoline.

What's the title? Who performed it? :)

~CCR~ of course. Proud Mary

She grew up with

The children of the stars

In the Hollywood hills and the boulevard

Her parents threw big parties

Everyone was there

They hung out with folks like

Dennis Hopper, Bob Seger, Sonny and Cher

Late 90's song. It was a hit on both radio and video. A little more:

And all her friends tell her

She's so pretty

But she's be a whole lot prettier

If she smiled once in a while

`Cause even her smile

Looks like a frown

She's seen her share of devils

In this angel town

"Don't cry for me, next door neighbor."

"Oh Danny boy, Danny boy, Danny boy."

"He drinks a Whiskey drink, he drinks a Vodka drink.

He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink.

He sings the songs that remind him of the good times.

He sings the songs that remind him of the best times."

OH, now I recognize it. "I Get Knocked Down, but I get up again no ones' ever goona keep me down".

I'm guessing Wooba Jomba. I never would have guessed it's called Tubthumping though.

Nevertheless, that's the name.

The band is "Chumbawamba."

My favorite line from any of their songs is from "Amnesia."

"Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?

I don't remember."

We come from the land of the ice and snow,

From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

The hammer of our Gods will drive our ships to new lands

To fight the horde, singing and crying, Valhalla: I am coming

That was the Viking Kittens!

They were Kats alright!

This rock group is known for partying like those Vikings. But no, these guy's arrived on the scene about 1000 years after Leif and his band.

"Hey sugar momma, come and dance with me.

The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me.

Whatever tickles your fancy.

Girl, me and you like Syd and Nancy."

"I used to think that happy endings were only in the books I read.

But you made me feel alive when I was almost dead.

You filled that empty space with the love I used to chase,

and as far as I can see it don't get better than this."

"I can feel too much is never enough.

You're always there to lift me up.

When these times get rough I was lost Now I'm found

Ever since you've been around.

You're the women that I want

So yo, I'm putting it down.

Come my lady

Come come my lady."
