Name that Tune

[wasway]

i really need to let somebody else answer once in a while but this one is just TOO GOOD to pass up

From the Age of Nixon, the first rock song I ever heard with bag pipes

Sky Pilot

Eric Burdon and the New Animals (such a stickler, I am)

Great Song WS

Wondering what ever happened to interTWIning I submit the following::

And I fell asleep and dreamed

I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie

And that I was the star of the movie

This really blew my mind, the fact that me,

an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome

should be the star of a Hollywood movie

But there I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings

I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world

In front of every kind of girl, there was

black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...

Out of the middle came a lady

She whispered in my ear something crazy

Ooh! Ooh! Call on me Teach! Call on me!

Nah. I better bow out on this one.

If I spill the beans, somebodys' liable to whine about it.

[Suda]

"Spill the Wine" by War

If I'm right, somebody else may have to take it as I'm heading out of town early Monday morning.

Suda

[WordWolf]

You're right.

(I got this one last time we saw it on this thread.)

Any chance you can post the next one, or should I just take it or something?

[Suda]

Since I saw it in time, I'll try to think of something to post.

Heard this oldie but goody tonight on the radio. Anyone else remember it?

Love has played its games on me so long.

I started to believe I'd never find anyone,

that could try to convince me to give in.

Said you can't win.

But one day the sun came shining through.

The rain had stopped, and the skies were blue.

And oh, what a revelation to see...

someone was saying "I love you" to me.

(chorus: )

I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill.

Until I found a piece of paradise to call my own.

And life is worth living again.

For, to love you, to me, is to live.

(repeat chorus)

[WordWolf]

I can't name the artist, so if this one depended on me, the odds would be very slim I could

give the correct answer....

*looks it up* Correct! Your turn.

[pawnbroker]

Stop whatcha doin'

'cause I'm about to ruin

the image and the style that ya used to.

I look funny

[pawnbroker]

another clue..

People say "Yo, ******, you're really funny lookin'"

that's all right 'cause I get things cookin'

Ya stare, ya glare, ya constantly try to compare me

but ya can't get near me

[waysider]

Based on the cadence and the"YO,******" I would have to guess it's rap.

That's as close as I can get.

Hmmm------Now what rhymes with "orange"?

[pawnbroker]

Here's your chance to do the dance...the .....

[waysider]

Are these two different tunes?

The last part sounds like something out of "Space Jams" by Quad City DJ's

[Ca_dreaming]

Dancin Queen by ABBA, maybe.......

[pawnbroker]

No...

perhaps this one was a little to "quirky"

The Humpty Dance.

by: Digital Underground.

[wasway]

No...

The Humpty Dance.

Ya think??

Thank you sir, may I have another??

[WordWolf]

That's why I try to confine myself to songs released before 1986.

Very few people here have even HEARD songs that rhyme with "umpty."

(They were unable to identify Fiona Apple's hit "Criminal",

so I've adjusted my expectations.)

Please re-select and post again.

[waysider]

Not trying to step on any toes here, but, if no one minds, I thought I would toss in an easy one (I hope) just to keep the party going while we wait for Pawnbroker.

A preachment, dear friend

You are about to receive

On John Barleycorn, nicotene and the temptations of Eve.

No parking by the sewer sign

Hot dog, my razor's broke

Water dripping up the spout

But I don't care-----------------------.

Hint: It was released the same year that the "Summer of Love" took place.

(Now that's what I call Pre-'86!) :)

[wasway]

Boy where did that come from, WS??

The Hombre's (and others)

"Let it all hang out"

[waysider]

Yup, you got it.

Here's the verse I always liked:

Saw a man walkin' upside down

My TV's on the blink

Made Galileo look like a Boy Scout

Sorry 'bout that, let it all hang out

Let It Out(Let It All Hang Out)--------The Hombres---1967

[wasway]

Here's one

Candy took the pearls, got ahead of the girls

Got on top and found the secret entrance

Are you satisfied?

Through neon doors, 'cross killing floors

She got sucked into a champagne desert

Are you satisfied?

Daddy said: I'll break your bones

If you come home dressed in Peacock clothes

Mother said: quit the show

She didn't want the neighbours to know

Candy had to quit the show

Well, Candy didn't care, when she started her affair

With the studs and the mares of the night

Are you satisfied?

Teddy knows the rule, of the underground school

He's got Candy wrapped 'round his finger

Are you satisfied?
