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'"

Swanny... where are you?

Here I am!

Ok, easy peasy one I think. I heard it on the radio coming into work this morning and I'm still singing it now


You never said too much but still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you

Hi! How are the tootsies today?

That one sounds familiar... is it also a movie soundtrack?

(You forgot your super XV tips... hurry, game later on in SA, then Saturday's ones.)

Hi! Feicin sore! Intend to spend 90% of today sitting on my glutes

Don't know if it's been used on a soundtrack but it wouldn't surprise me. You will know it

(Shoite! I did forget, thanks for the reminder)

I watched the film Bandslam with my daughter and Vanessa Hudgens sings it in that

Everything I Own - Bread

Never heard of Bandslam Kenny, or Vanessa Hudgens, so I'll bow to your far superior knowledge

Correct, it is Everything I Own

Your turn

it's a teen film about a school band competition ( there are some decent songs in it ) Vanessa Hudgens is the girl out of High School Musical films


When you see me shed a tear and you know that it’s sincere
Dontcha think it’s kinda sad that you’re treatin’ me so bad
Or don’t you even care

Everly Brothers - Cathy's Clown

yes

"What looks large from a distance
Close up ain't never that big"

Bob Dylan - Tight connection to my heart

Yes.

Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise

I know that! Thinking...

if it was released now i think they may have to change the title and the lyrics

what era was it? 50s or 60s?

60's i think

Got it! Finally!! Was thinking Righteous Brothers or similar but finally figured it.

Gary Puckett and the Union Gap! Song is 'Young Girl'

And you're right Kenny, re-write would be required!

i would say so

So Swanny, you're up.

Oh shoite, forgot! Sorry!

For, when you hear a call to follow your heart
You'll follow your heart I know
I've been through it all and I'm an old hand
And I'll understand if you go

Didn't realise you were so sensitive, Swanny.

Has it been mentioned before in Name Game Music, or Name Game Songs?

Oh I'm a delicate little flower LB

Not sure if it's been mentioned on those threads. It's a classic, in my book anyway, and dates from 1960 I think. Been covered a few times.

It sounds like it doesn't need a re-write. Good old-fashioned and innocent lyrics with no evil connotations these days.

Any other clues? I have no idea.

You'll know it Julius I'm sure. The most recent cover I know was on Jools Holland. 2006? Done as a duet by a troubled soul who is no longer with us and a Mod God.

Ok, more lyrics. Opening two lines

Build your dreams to the stars above
But when you need someone true to love

Is Paul Weller the Mod God?.... Amy the troubled soul?

Correct LB

Both of them?
I still don't know the song title but the lyrics sound pretty familiar.

Yep, both of them. Original was done by Etta Jones. Joni Mitchell has covered it. Amy & Paul cover was done on a Hootenanny.

Etta James - Piece of My Heart?

Etta James did it too, but it's not that song.

Don't Go To Strangers ?

Correct Kenny had a feeling you'd know it

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with the toys a while
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die

I Don't Like Mondays. Boomtown Rats.

correct , last song i heard on the radio this morning

Funny, he was just interviewed here... tore Australia apart... said we weren't doing enough aid for the poor. He's probably right but he was so angry about it... as though he was personally offended.

You have another go mate... I'm off to bed.

And the lights that shine on
But if that don't mean nothing
Like if someday it should fall through
You'll take me home where the magic's from

Alive & Kicking

yes

I jumped out of bed
I stood on the cat
I looked out the window
At the laundromat

clue ?

Aussie 80 band. Title - what you shouldn't do to places where indoor plants are kept. Band name... what we both like but has a 'z' on the end of it.

Sportz ?

yes. the song "Don't throw _ _ _ _ _ _ (think I may have posted it on youtube thread)

Dont Throw Stones

Yes! (rocks are OK though!)

That's kept me hanging about
I keep looking at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I'll never die
