Name that Tune

Ok maybe that was a little obscure, at least for this crowd. wink2.gif;)-->

The title is "Rollercoaster" go figure, by The Red House Painters. A great band that is not all that new I think this song was from 93' maybe.

This next one won't be quite as obscure but if you can 't figure it out you will probably be able to google it. I tried to do that for The Red House Painters just to make sure the lyrics were right, but I found that they don't have a site of their own anymore or a page of lyrics. The singer, Mark Kozelek, has formed a new group called Sun Kil Moon.

OK I changed my mind

here's another one of my favorites:

"When I go places

I just don't care

You'd know why if you'd see what I wear

Black slacks pegged fourteen

Black slacks, really are keen

Black slacks make a cool daddy-o

When I put them on I'm a-rarin' to go"

Lindy,

The rules of the game are that if you "google" the answer, you have to disqualify yourself (as Raf and WordWolf did for your last song).

I seem to remember a song called "Black Slacks" from the '90's, but a.) I have no idea who performed it, and b.) I don't know if that's the song you're clueing.

Well, since this thread's been held up in one

form or another since July 2 and it's now

July 14, I'm disregarding the recent posts and

posting a new song.

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

"Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin,

And proceeded to lie on the table"

Lindy retains the right to jump right back in whenever he wants.

His preceding song was "Black Slacks" by Joe Bennett and the Sparkletones.

I'm not making that up.

In the future, please do not include the title of the song in the clue.

And if you include the title in the clue, and STILL no one gets it, it's a sure bet you've picked a real obscure number.

That's fine, as long as he doesn't keep us hanging!

Maybe Lindy thought I got it with my previous post?

"Rocky Raccoon" by the Beatles?

You are correct, sir!

According to one source, the line I quoted, about the Doctor, was

inspired by an incident involving a drunk doctor that saw one Beatle

after he took an injury.

Right you are, Pirate! I really liked the song (Whittaker's version) when it came out during my high school days. I'm REALLY impressed that you got it from the SECOND verse. (I was planning to give the opening lines next, and finally the "I have loved you dearly, more dearly than the spoken word can tell" if it hadn't been guessed by then.)

Your turn.

George
