Guess The Song

First topic message reminder :

How to Play
-- The first person (that would be I) must post a line or two from a song of their choosing.
-- Everyone elses' job is to try and work out which song it is originated from by posting on this thread.
-- once the questioner has confirmed a correct answer, the person who correctly guessed the song first them gets the opportunity to post a line of their own choosing...

Rules
-- The line must be easily recognisable from one particular song; not something that could be from any one of a number of songs.
-- Try to keep them amusing and original in order to keep the fun rolling.

Le's go!

"And the sign said 'long-haired freaky people need not apply'"

Man, i was truely clueless. Good one Lucky

Here is a new one

Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto

'Motorcycle Emptiness' by the Manics

Feck that was quick Lucky

breaker will know this one

And now I know
Why darkness makes me smile
The night will have it's child
And we'll all just blow away
Just watch us blow away-yay-ay
Until you're telling your friends we-ee died
Laughing still

I used to think some of the lyrics of 'Motorcycle Emptiness' were in French!

It sounds like it sometimes

I don't have a clue on those new lyrics. Not the foggiest.

Its an Aussie band.

Well I don't think it's the Orange Organics...

You can use google if you want

I couldn't cheat myself, Billy. I still have my pride - just!

Yeah, i dont like to cheat on these as well for some reason

I used to be friends with Matt's sister* up until 2010 and I met Matt only once... about 3 months before he died. I told him "Younger Days" was my favourite Australian song... reminded me of holidays up the coast about 20 years ago watching perfect waves roll into the beach from atop a headland. He said - 'that was the nicest compliment he's ever had!'

Matt Finish - Short Note.

So nobody knows my one back there after Lucky's song?

It rings a really small, faint, distant bell, Breaker. I don't think I'll be able to recall the song, though.

Is it another Australian band ?

I think it is

pretty sure its not INXS and defo not AC/DC

Men at Work , Midnight Oil ?

The last one Kenny... do you know which song?

I have missed the text i think breaker?

Midnight Oil ......its not Beds are Burning is it?

I didnt see the text so i have not got a clue

It's back a bit Billy.
No, not that one Kenny.

For the love of god, i cant find it LOL

Post it again breaker

"we can dive into distant amoebas, our wings could melt in the sun.."

Is that a new song from them?

No, it's late 80's... from the "10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1" album

Shakers and Movers by Midnight oil

You got it BB.

I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram

Not a Meatloaf song is it? "Bat Out of Hell"?

Have another crack, my friend.

Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee

Jeez.... I'll need to think about that one.
Is it an African song... not one of Paul Simon's I hope?

It's a group. Not african

Thought it might have been from "Late in the Evening"... love that song.

Well it should be something by the Monkees, but I'm pretty sure it's not...

Think rock band and down and out.

Down and out? Hmm, cryptic...

the band's name says it all.

Is there a band called the Tramps?

No idea

Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it

Oh, 'Money for Nothing' by Dire Straits!

I'd never have got it without the 'that's the way you do it'!

Okay, here's one:

"'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow"

I just need to think about the lyrics for a while.

no got it, "I know, and it can stop I wonder...

Have you ever seen the rain, It is actually one of our songs we perform.

It's one of my favourite songs, Biltong. CCR were a great band.
