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'"

sorry dont know the song ?

Opening lines are -
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight

Sorry Julius, you've defeated me, I don't know this one at all.

Put us out of our misery please

Mad About You

(That's the title, not my feelings towards Kenny!)

thanks

set another one

She's got cheekbones like geometry

is that Lloyd Cole and the Commotions ?

Yep. What song?

Perfect Skin

Well... you didn't wake up this morning
Because you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes
Turn red

No idea tbh.

Sounds a bit heavy metal-ish.
Guns n Roses?

no British group been around since late seventies , no real chart success to note . lead singer is Matt Johnson

The The (I know who Matt Johnson is)

Don't know the song

Give us another one Kenny.

Then I can spend two days

i love this song

The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

I don't believe it!!! I know this one without even a brief

It's Alannah Miles isn't it? Black Velvet. I love it too, great song. Shame she seemed to disappear without trace after it.

YES

Yayhaaaaay!!

This one's an album track so if you don't know the album I guess you won't know the song! Sorry, but I've currently got it on repeat in the car so it's the first thing that sprang to mind!

"Do you see the beauty of a rose, I doubt it
Do you hear the children sing aloud, no
Can you see the leaves change the colors out there
Can you taste the water in your mouth"

Clue please?

Welsh band Julius.

Manic Street Preachers?

No, not the Manics.

Stereophonics ?

Correct Kenny

Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared

what was the stereophonics song?

Kenny, yours sounds like a Jim Steinman song

Stereophonics song is called 100mph

not a Steinman song , it was first released in 1976 and is always on classic rock cds

Some sort of American AOR - Journey or Foreigner or Boston or Styx?

no none of those , dont recall them having any other hit ? odd fact but there is a cow bell playing in the back ground of the track if that helps

Cheers Kenny, t'was indeed 100mph

At first glance your lyrics don't mean anything but that comment about a cow bell... erm... well... rings a bell.

One hit wonders from Austria maybe?

nope they are American , it has been used in loads of films including Halloween and Pet Semetary and was wrote when the guitarist dream't he was going to die

there name is three words ,
_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _

Hmmm. Ok, going by the films you've just mentioned are they more prog rock than out and out rock band?

i would say more rock band

first word a colour
second word a shellfish
third word a religious sect

song about not being affraid of the hand of death

Oh I just got it!!

It's Blue Oyster Cult isn't it?! Don't Fear the Reaper?

yes .....................it came onto my ipod this morning when i was out walking at 6 am it was a bit creepy

Yay!

Oh yeah, I can imagine that's spooky

Staying with the 70s

Oh if only you'd waited or just hesitated
Or maybe just asked me to dance
But you really don't know why I don't want to go

i think thats Suzi Quatro

You think correctly Which song?

oh yeh sorry

If you Can't Give me Love

Correct your turn.

Must have been made for us
Cos darling, this is the time of year
That you really need love
When it means so very, very much

I know this one. It's Mud doing their Elvis impression. It'll Be Lonely This Christmas.

yes

Bit more recent

Suddenly it struck me very clear
Suddenly it struck me very clean
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same

i dont do recent
