Name that Tune

[Human without the bean]

Aother one: and not so new this time.

I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker

I wonder what's it's like to know I make the rain

I'd store it in boxes with yellow tags on everyone

And you can come see them when I'm done.......

when I'm done

I wonder what it's like to be a super hero

I wonder where I's go if I could fly around downtown

I'm sorry, I thought I gave this up. 3 days is my limit. I thought the super hero line

would at least warrant a hit though. Here's another clue:

Straight up, What did you hope to learn about here?

If I were someone else, would this all fall apart

Strange, where were you, when we started this gig?

I wish the [song title] would just stop hassling me

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Don't recognize it.

George

[Human without the bean]

Don't recognize it.

Sorry, I've been busy. Anyway, the singer of the band is perhaps as successful for his solo career as he is with his band.

A late 90's group, they have had a string of hits. A few years ago, the lead singer sangs vocals on a song with Carlos Santana.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Late 90s almost guarantees I won't know it, unless it was one of my stepkids' favorites.

George

[Human without the bean]

The song Rob Thomas sang with Carlos Santana was called Smooth.

The group Matchbox 20 sings the song Real World.

Walking through forests of palm tree apartments ---

scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents

down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday ---

eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday.

Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows ---

they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows.

Bungle in the Jungle ~Jethro Tull~ Sounds like it to me.

[WordWolf]

I need to check this thread more often.

I knew "Real World" but forgot the artists.

I didn't recognize "Smooth" from that clip, but I know the song and artists.

(Love the video.)

Naturally, I recognize Jethro Tull often.

A lady that I know just came from columbia

She smiled because I did not understand

And then she held out some marijuana, ha ha!

She said it was the best in the land

Skipping the chorus

A woman that I know just came from majorca, spain

She smiled because I did not understand (parazzi! parazzi!) (ole!)

Then she held out a ten pound bag of cocaine,

She said it was the finest in the land

[GeorgeStGeorge]

That was Ringo. I think the song was called "No, No, No (I Don't Smoke It No More)"

George

[Human without the bean]

Pretty close. It's just the "No No song". YOUR UP.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Hear me now and understand

He's gonna find me some piece of mind

And if that piece of mind won't stay

I'm gonna find myself a better way

Mockingbird ~Carly Simon~ I saw the line and the rest of the song just came to me.

Here's something from the early 70's

I've been thinking about our fortune

And I've decided that we're really not to blame

For the love that's deep inside us now

Is still the same

Listen to the tide slowly turning

Wash all our heartaches away

We're part of the fire that is burning

And from the ashes we can build another day

But I'm frightened for your children

That the life that we are living is in vain

And the sunshine we've been waiting for

Will turn to rain

I have the artist, but not the title.

[Human without the bean]

Really. I didn't think anyone playing here knew the band well enough. I was just about to post a different song.

This song was the hit on the album in 1971. Most of the albums by this group carried along with it a hit single. Just name the group and I'll give you the title WW.

[WordWolf]

I can hear The Moody Blues sing the line "I decided that we're really not to blame".

[Human without the bean]

That's the band.

And the sounds we make together

Is the music to THE STORY IN YOUR EYES

It's been shining down upon me now

I realize

~Moody Blues~ The Story In Your Eyes

Good for you WW. Not everyone is familiar with TMB.

I was playing a Moody Blues's album once and my co-worker said I bet you not everyone has heard of the moody blues. We asked somebody and he was right. They never heard of them... But she was only 25 years old. They were in their prime in 69.

I wouldn't know 5% of the bands of today that 25 year olds are into.

NOW YOUR UP! WORDWOLF!

"Standin' in front just shakin' your @$s.

Take you back stage you can drink from my glass.

Talk about something you can sure understand

Cause a month on the road and i'll be eatin' from your hand."

[Human without the bean]

Probably one the largest mouths of anyone's I've ever seen. The boy can sing. Steven Tyler of ~Aerosmith~ the song is "Sweet Emotion".

Let's go right into the next on with this:

Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story

Hand me down mu walkin' shoes

Here come Johnny with the power and the glory

Backbeat the talkin' blues

He got the action, he got the motion

Yeah, the boy can play

[WordWolf]

Dire Straits, "Walk of Life."

[Human without the bean]

That's it.
