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'"

it was an obscure line... most of the others would be too easy.

Is that a Bob Marley song? "Sun Is Shining"?

Not many songs that i remember but from the 70's i am pretty good

Nope, along those lines though.

Is it a Stevie Wonder song?

Oh I know, it's 'Mr Blue Sky' by E.L.O.

Okay, so it's my turn:

'They got the house on the corner
With the rug inside'

Lucky! It's not ringing any bells. Subtle clue please?

Steely Dan ?

Yep, it's Steely Dan.

Chase down an empty street
Blindly snap the broken beats

Hang on, this is Guess the Song, not Guess the Band!

Sorry Luckless , i got carried away .............Show Biz Kids

Ha, correct!

Got ahead of myself , had a senior moment i was sure id wrote the song aswell .


Chase down an empty street
Blindly snap the broken beats

That rings a faint bell with me. How old is it?

2004 i think ? Got some more air play last year when it was the theme for a tv mini series

Hmm, that's thrown me. I was thinking '70s.

When i first heard it i thought it was Stone Roses or the like if that helps ?

Is it a British band?

Yes , they have had 3 good albums ... one of them is a decent footballer aswell

Oh, it's not Hard-Fi, is it?

No not Hard -Fi

Oh, football! That's got to be the fella from the Soccer Aid match, scored a great goal. Italian name? Can't for the life of me remember which band he's in but one of the commentators (Graham Taylor?) didn't have a clue who he was either!

Thats the one Swanny , but whats the song and the band ?

clue ...... the song was used in Martina Coles The Take tv series

Still doesn't ring a bell... another clue please?

Years back the song title might have been used to describe someones disability in the bottom of the leg area

Duck feet?

not Duck ...think cavemans weapon .........and not feet more singular

Club Foot?

forgotten the name of the band... sounds like the Argentinian tennis player that got DQ'd today?

Yep thats the one Kasabian Club Foot

Kasabian... on the tip of my tongue.

Mate, off to bed soon. You or someone else have another go.

Struggle after struggle - year after year
The atmospheres a fine blend of ice-
Im almost stone cold dead

Need a clue please Kenny. That first line is kinda familiar but I'm stuck!

A whole street's belief in sunday's roast beef
Gets dashed against the Co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
It's a big decision in a...................................

Town called Malice

They've got a wall in china
It's a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners they made it strong

clue ?

legendary duo sang it

Wham?

no American. big hits late 60s early 70s... 80s. Split up but reformed again... still going.
One had a big solo career too.

Not Simon and Garfunkel?

Yes.. do you know the name of the song?

They've got a wall in china
It's a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners
They made it strong

I've got a wall around me
You can't even see
It took a little time
To get to me

I can't have heard that one, Breaker.

So Right ? or something like that

Something So Right

Your go...

And even though you fool your soul's
Your conscience will be mine , all mine

that sounds so familiar.... the last line.

That's from 'Stand and Deliver' by Adam and the Ants!

Spot on

Visions cupped within a flower...
