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!

thats not recent

Evening Julius. Correct Your turn.

I said a bit more recent Kenny

Nah, I don't do recent either , except for Stereophonics.

Recent goes in one ear and out the other. That's why I do do recent either.

Who's go?

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend

Streets of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen

Hold on to 16 as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men

Is it Neil Diamond?

Nope , it was his biggest chart hit number one in US for 4 weeks in 1982 . he is still known as Cougar to some people

Oh, I thought the singer's name was going to be Jack Diane!

I recognise the song, they spoofed it on the Simpsons - I think he was a guest star actually.

yes it's been in loads of tv and films

your go

And if you really want to kiss her,
Just go right up and tell her...

Clue needed please

Still dont know this ?

Is it a 60s or 70s song, Lucky? American artist?

Go on Lucky give us a clue

I've just googled it - and still don't know the answer!

so its a popular song then

A now defunct Welsh alternative rock band with "8 UK Top 75 singles without ever making the Top 40"

The song reached number 41 in 1996

Lucky was probably mates with the drummer or something

Mind you, the band had 12 members - maybe he was the drummer

The answer is The Patio Song by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. I've no idea why we didn't all know that straight away.

"Call the troops out in a hurry"

is it eighties ? sort of rings a bell

not "Stop The Cavalry".... Jona Lewie?

It is the 80s, but not Jona Lewie

Kate Bush - "Army Dreamers"?

No

On the right track or miles off?

Yeah, it's early/mid 80s, female singer, one-hit wonder. Up tempo pop/rock, but apparently an anti-nuclear war song, sort of.

Pat Benetar? Brit or American?

Neither

What's the smile for? So neither American nor British? Irish?

its not that German bird is it ? the 99 red balloons one ?

It is the German bird with 99 Red balloons. Nena.

is that the song ? sort of remember the video it was abit weird

99 Red Balloons (or 99 Luftballons). About a kid who releases 99 red balloons which drift into Soviet airspace, can't be identfied on the radar, are assumed to be missiles and trigger a nuclear holocaust. Apparently.

well i never knew that , i just thought it was a cheesy pop song

She did a remake in 2009 with a bit of French thrown in, worth youtubing. She's improved lookswise with age, not that she was ever struggling in that department.

I shall have a look


I'm playing day dreaming fool again - my favourite game

And you are the one who's got my head in the clouds above
