I'm not sure of the exact title but I do know the lurics. "Give me two toward the door" by Lynyrd Skynyrd??

Yeah, I'll say that's close enough.

======================

Lynryd Skynryd's "Gimme Three Steps".

"

I was cutting the rug Down at a place called The Jug

With a girl named Linda Lu.

When in walked a man With a gun in his hand

And he was looking for you know who.

He said, "Hey there fellow, With the hair colored yellow,

Watcha tryin' to prove?

'Cause that's my woman there And I'm a man who cares

And this might be all for you."

I was scared and fearing for my life.

I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.

'Cause he was lean, mean, Big and bad, Lord,

Pointin' that gun at me.

I said, "Wait a minute, mister, I didn't even kiss her.

Don't want no trouble with you.

And I know you don't owe me But I wish you'd let me

Ask one favor from you."

(Chorus)

"Won't you give me three steps, Gimme three steps mister,

Gimme three steps towards the door?

Gimme three steps Gimme three steps mister,

And you'll never see me no more."

Well the crowd cleared away And I began to pray

As the water fell on the floor.

And I'm telling you son, Well, it ain't no fun

Staring straight down a forty-four.

Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu

And that's the break I was looking for.

And you could hear me screaming a mile away

As I was headed out towards the door.

"Won't you give me three steps, Gimme three steps mister,

Gimme three steps towards the door?

Gimme three steps Gimme three steps mister,

And you'll never see me no more." "

=============

Too recognizable, I think the others were saying.

(Hard to strike a balance there...)

Go, Sunnyfla!

I'm leaving now :)

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Is "I'm leaving now" a lyric? You ARE up, Sunny one!

George

[Tom Strange]

Is "I'm leaving now" a lyric?

I think when you play it backwards it's "I buried Paul" or "I'm very bored"

[Ca_dreaming]

did you take a jet plane??????

[Sunnyfla]

Oops.. sorry guys. My turn :blink:

New Song

When you breath I want to be air for you......

[Sunnyfla]

Well, I guess no one wants to play with me :(

Someone else should start a new song.

Sunny

[Tom Strange]

I don't know it sunny...

[Sunnyfla]

Ok.. here's a few hints

It was in the late 80's

The band is still playing music today

Lead singer?? VERY hot in his day and IMO still is

Here's more Lyrics..

I'd steal the sun from the sky for you....

It's on a classic CD called "CrossRoad"

Come on Tom.... I know you can do it

The line sounds familiar.

The clues eliminated INXS and the Grateful Dead, who lost their lead singers.

(And Jerry Garcia was never "very hot.")

A lot of "classic rock" bands werent together in the late 80s-

like Led Zeppelin. Bands like Twisted Sister are out because Dee Snider

was never "very hot" either.

But I'd need another line to work out who's left.

I'm thinking it was a band who FORMED in the '80s,

not someone like the Rolling Stones.

When you breath I want to be air for you......

[Sunnyfla]

I guess I picked a tough one.

ok.. here's more hints.

Rock Band from New Jersey

Started out in 1983

Last hit song was " Have a Nice day"

More lyrics....

These 5 words I say to you..... the next line is the name of the song.

[waysider]

By JOVE, I think I need another clue.

[Sunnyfla]

waysider

Yes. It's by Jon Bon Jovi

hint... [/b] words can't say what love can do

The next line is the name of the song :)

Tell me when you give up. Then someone can start a new song.

Is it... "It's my life"?

[wasway]

Am I right?

[Sunnyfla]

Try again Tom :)

[Sunnyfla]

hint.....

Fill in the blanks..

I'll __ ____ for ___.

[ChasUFarley]

I'll Be There For You - Bon Jovi

(one of the few 80's hair bands still around!)

"It's My Life" was a more recent hit - within this decade.

BTW - did you ever hear the spoof song to "Living On A Prayer"? It's "Living Off My Hair" - one line goes "Take my advice, make videos with Cher, Ohhh-oooh, we're living off my hair-air...."

My hint:

Funny how I blind myself

I never knew

[wasway]

Oops I messed up and my script didnt work... but "I'll be there for you"

should do it

[Tom Strange]

ahhh sooo... the Bon Jovi thing... I see them whenever they're the band playing at a sporting even on the television... do every one of their songs have that "mouth/guitar" sound in them?

[Sunnyfla]

Finally!!!

Thank Gawd.. I ran out of hints

Next??

[GeorgeStGeorge]

It appears to me that Chas got it first (or at least gave the answer first), so we should play her clue.

George

[ChasUFarley]

Tom - that effect is called a Talk Box - it's been used frequently by Bon Jovi (guitarist - Richie Sambora) but I think Frampton really put it on the map. Kid Rock, Cher, Pink Floyd, and Faith Hill have all used it - it's a neat effect.
