Name that Tune

[Human without the bean]

You were serious?  The way I had read into that was you were making a case for George not being so up to date with anything outside his wheel house which are oldish tunes.

I'm getting it now what you meant by "peppy".

I posted the video.

Mmmbop, by Hanson

If he's browsing the page with javascript off or flash blocked, he might not even see a placeholder for the video.  I browse here with 2 different browsers. With one, I get all the displays, the other shows placeholders.    That's why I used to ask people to post a title even if they posted the hotlink.

Next song.

 

"Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away..."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I know this song.  I can even hear that phrase.  I just can't remember the context. 

George

[Human without the bean]

Maybe kick him another line or two WordWolf.  

[Raf]

You wish

I thought we weren't using the "Songs remembered from one line thread anymore"?  Maybe WordWolf is away from his computer and not able to post, so I'll go ahead and solve the puzzle Pat!

A quick check with Google indicates that you are correct.  Your turn.

[Raf]

I thought "You wish" was an adequate hint.

Was that supposed to mean something Raf?  I don't have time to play games.

[WordWolf]

"Dream on!" is an expression that is synonymous with the expression "You wish!"   It's a reply that someone has an unrealistic expectation.

1. This is a game thread.

2. Chill.

3. WW explained it.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Once I realized what the song was, I got the clue.  I had just thought that Raf was being surly.

Not those kind of games.

Human,

We used to have a thread called The Nostalgia Thread.  It was sort of a "mash up" thread about old TV shows, etc.  It was common for players who knew the answer to give other clues which showed they knew the answer, without actually giving it away.  (Eventually, someone would give the answer, and the game would move on.)  Raf does this in most of these threads.  For example, he knows the answer to my "Movie Mash Up" challenge, but has refrained from answering, instead giving clues of his own.  It's his way. 

George

[Raf]

I do that when I know the answer but I don't want to take the next turn.

Now if you'll excuse me, I seriously need to find a Three Musketeers. Anyone know where I can find one?

Human, you're up.

Didn't know what time it was the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, He said

[Human without the bean]

 

Hey, now now

Oh, my my

Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive

I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel Two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright

[GeorgeStGeorge]

No idea.  Sounds pretty funny!

George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

And...I still don't know it.

There's a [song title] waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a [song title] waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

And yet, I still don't know it.

Couldn't get it without the chorus.

"STARMAN", by David Bowie. 

[Human without the bean]

It is Starman.  The first single released from his 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars.

I would have gotten the title cut a lot faster, but that's just me.    Then again, I heard a commercial recently use "Starman", so what do I know?
