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'"

Dollar - yes!

I couldn't name you any of their songs!

That's because you were only 3 years old!

But I can give you every word of 'The Birdy Song'!

Er...

Someone on this forum (besides me) must be cool enough to know which Dollar song it is

O L'amour ?

No, it's one of the 1982 classics written by Trevor Horn - the ballad

The only other Dollar songs i know are Mirror Mirror (Mon Amour) and Give Me Back My Heart ?

Give Me Back My Heart - correct!

When i said i knew those Dollar songs i obviously ment i might of heard them once or twice , not actually bought them

try this one

Hey, Captain Strange, won't you be my lover
You're the best thing that I've ever discovered
Flash Gordon's left me, he's gone to the stars
An evil Darth Vader has me banished to Mars

I Lost my Heart to a Starship Trooper?

spot on

If my pillow's getting wet
I can't see that it matters much to me.

Is it a contemporary song or late 60s, early 70s?

Mid/Late 60s. More famous in the UK, for a specific reason less to do with the song itself, than what it was used for on one occassion.

The Move - Flowers in the Rain

All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion

Wow man, that's like really heavy

San Francisco - Scott McKenzie

yep

OK, Mr Marx... let's have it!

I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left

that rings bell but cant place it

You're doing my usual Kenny

I, on the other hand, have got no bells ringing at all this time

Might need a clue or two

British female

Alison Moyet ? springs to mind

No, same sort of era for the song, but the singer is a bit older.

Annie Lennox ?

Think of the other Brit Award winner from that era/slightly earlier

Kate Bush ?

Yep

not a fan so struggling with the song , sure i have heard it though

1989 - ballad

not the soldier song... Army Dreamer?

No. It had Tim McInnery in the video.

I can't remember seeing Tim McInnery in a video.

Give us a few more lines Julius.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
Though we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.

They use it on an advert for the NSPCC or someone. But I couldn't give you its title without cheating.

It's on The Sensual World LP and wsa also used as the title of a Kate Bush box set.

THe only Kate Bush songs i can think of are Running up that Hill and Wuthering Heights ........oh and that one she did with Peter Gabriel

She performs it here

Yes i have heard that before

Ask another one JM

I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now

No immediate ideas Julius, clue please!

Very famous Brit - with a group, then solo (this song is a solo one)

Peter Gabriel ?
Phil Collins ?

Right era, appeared as guest vocalist on a Phil Collins LP track IIRC.

Sting ?

Yep, Sting - a single from The Soul Cages.
