Name that Tune

[Tom Strange]

Playing to "the crowd" I see WW... wasway should get this one!

[wasway]

Her name ie Rio and She Dances on the Sand

Rio Duran Duran

go For it Tom

[Tom Strange]

moi?

...but you guessed it wasway!

[Tom Strange]

OK then... here's one that 400 people can get in with just one line:

(or at least you guys can I'm sure)

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

[wasway]

I saw that band in concert ..... 21 times since 1970

poor old Syd..

[WordWolf]

Pink Floyd, "Wish You Were Here",

but everybody knew that....

[WordWolf]

"And you may ask yourself

'How do I work this?'

And you may ask yourself

'Where is that large automobile?'"

[Tom Strange]

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack

And you may find yourself in another part of the world

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful

wife

And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?

But I don't want to answer yet... I'll give someone else a chance...

[Bluzeman]

Oh crap, I know the song, and I even know the group, but I don't know the name of the damn thing!

[Tom Strange]

c'mon Rick! ...it was in "Sing Along the Way" wasn't it? Handpicked by Dorothy and Rhoda...

[wasway]

just for the hell of it

who is the band???

You woke up this morning

Got yourself a gun,

Mama always said you'd be

The Chosen One.

She said: You're one in a million

You've got to burn to shine,

But you were born under a bad sign,

With a blue moon in your eyes

[Tom Strange]

that's the opening song on 'the Sopranos' isn't it...

[Linda Z]

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful

wife

And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?

Someone PLEASE get this. The tune has been rolling around in my head for 2 days. I can even think of some of the other lyrics, and I can hear the person singing it, but I can't think of the name of it or the name of the band! HELP me, please help me. This is driving me bonkers.

I know I'm gonna feel stupid when I see it, but that would be better than the torture of ALMOST being able to think of it.

[topoftheworld]

"Who is the band"

Alabama Three-and they're not from Alabama-they are British.

[WordWolf]

wasway, totw,

if one of you doesn't post something,

I'll post another song...

[topoftheworld]

"And the sound of the battle raged

Through the streets of the old east side

Until the last of the hoodlum gang

Had surrendered up or died"

[wasway]

Boy does that one bring back memories....

specially cause "my daddy was cop"

Paper Lace.... THE NIGHT CHICAGO DIED

You got it, Wasway! Sing away.

[wasway]

Here is one of renewal (of sorts) that will make you think a bit...

Say you don't know me, or recognize my face

Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place

Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight

Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember...

see below for a bit of a hint

[WordWolf]

Well,

it's not Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, or Jefferson anything.

That means it's only "STARSHIP"

and their song "We Built This City".

You didn't need such a big quote to start, BTW, some of us could have

gotten it off of any 2 lines in sequence...

Trivia note: a lot of radio stations altered the traffic report in the song

to insert their name in front of

"your favourite radio station..."

[wasway]

Good Call WW...Seems like I have a bit of competition here... Guess I'm gonna have to dig a little deeper into sack o' songs

Yer turn

[WordWolf]

General tip:

You can usually start with the harder quote and get easier...

New song...

"James Brown,

James Brown.

James Brown,

James Brown."

[WordWolf]

"James Brown,

James Brown.

James Brown,

James Brown."

"Who needs to think when your feet just go?"
