Name that Tune

[WordWolf]

The link isn't working for me. What song did he say it was?

[Human without the bean]

It's a media source TV or podcast about a speech Melania Trump gave where she quoted some lines from Rick Asley's "Never Going to Give You Up" called "Was there a RICK ROLL in Melania Trump's speech".  It's from a facebook post.

sorry about that

Then Raf was right.  Wordpup loves the concept of the Rickroll.  Furthermore, he's cool with Rick Astley's song without any tricks.

I thought I was the Duke of Earl when I made it with the red-haired girl in the Chevrolet.

Say 'goodbye' to the oldies-but-goodies,

'cause the good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.

 

"Keeping the Faith", Billy Joel.

I thought I knew it, but no, I'm not sure yet.

"Ooh- give me a chance, give me a sign.  I'll show her anytime."

 

"I feel so good if I just say the word."

Is this the Songs Remembered from Just One Line thread?   A few lines from the song is usually suggested.  But that is two now.  Thank you WordWolf.  I can't quite come up with the name or the group.   "I'm not a charity case" is a line from the same song I know.

[WordWolf]

I kinda thought the last one was a giveaway, but obviously not.

 

"Ooh- give me a chance, give me a sign.  I'll show her anytime."

 

"I feel so good if I just say the word."

"Now I know that I'm too young, my life has just begun."

 

"Ah, I've just got to have her, have her now.
I've got to get closer but I don't know how.
She makes me nervous and makes me scared.
I feel so good if I just say the word."

That's the word.  Would have liked the artist as well, but I can live without it.

[Raf]

Phil Collins.

Next up [and this did get mucho airplay in its day:

"You won't believe me.

All you will see is the girl you once knew.

Although she's dressed up to the nines

At sixes and sevens with you."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Sounds familiar.

I'd be particularly surprised if WW didn't get it.

Would you believe we did this song in chorus, in junior high school?

 

[WordWolf]

Velveeta, Velveeta, Velveeta....

Please try our cheese- it's Velveeta.

 

 

[Raf]

You were supposed to have been provelone

That's all they wanted

Not mozzarella...

[WordWolf]

I know that quote well from chorus, not from airplay, but I won't question you about it airing much.

"Don't Cry For Me, Argentina,"  off the "Evita" soundtrack, with MADONNA on vocals.

[Raf]

On February 22, 1997, the remix of Don't Cry For Me Argentina was number one on the dance charts.

 

It went something like this:

 

[WordWolf]

I can miss questions about Madonna because I'm not impressed.  That goes double for Lady Gaga.

 

BTW, one important lesson in politics (of which I was just reminded)  is that

"He who robs Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul."

[WordWolf]

Ok, next song.

 

"Na, na-na-na, na-na-NA, na-na-na."

 

(Saw this album sitting in the window of a news kiosk.)
