Guess The Song

by Legend Mon 18 Jul 2011, 9:52 pm

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!

Black car drives through the town,
Some guy from the top estate
Left a note for a local girl,
And yet he had it all on a plate

Husband don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
She can't say, they can't see, putting it down to another bad day
So this .................

by Luckless Pedestrian Wed 28 Aug 2013, 9:57 am

It's not ringing any bells with me either, but I'm going to guess it's Pink because all she does is sing about herself!

by **Pal Joey** Mon 14 Oct 2013, 10:17 am

Having trouble with that one?

It was a huge hit here in 1975... major star sung duo on it. Really cool flute solo. Whistle

by **Pal Joey** Tue 15 Oct 2013, 8:51 am

His career has spanned 55 years... still going today.
Co-wrote many songs including "Love Will Keep Us Together" for The Captain and Tennille. Was a judge on American Idol in 2003.

by **Kenny** Tue 15 Oct 2013, 12:30 pm

Paula Abdul or Randy Jackson ?

by littleswannygirl Fri 25 Oct 2013, 12:59 am

It's taken me ages to figure out this one but it's Echo and the Bunnymen isn't it?

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri 25 Oct 2013, 9:24 am

Yes it is - which song?

by littleswannygirl Thu 28 Nov 2013, 8:48 pm

Julius, I forgot all about this! My moment of inspiration was so brief I didn't retain it!

It's The Cutter isn't it?

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 23 Dec 2013, 4:09 pm

Yes - the Cutter.

Does anyone want to set a new one?

by **Pal Joey** Mon 23 Dec 2013, 10:35 pm

Lawyers' fees and agents' commission,
Everybody's waitin' to be fed.
Uncle Sam is right there beside you,
Come on boy, ya got to make the bread.

by **JuliusHMarx** Thu 06 Feb 2014, 1:38 pm

Clue?

by **Pal Joey** Fri 07 Feb 2014, 11:52 am

The name of the song is a "US town, US State". Early 70s rock/folk/country sound.

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 24 Feb 2014, 3:02 pm

The Eagles? Lynard Skynard?

by Rowley Mon 24 Feb 2014, 4:33 pm

I believe that is Wheeling West Virginia, which is unfortunate as I have to admit to knowing a Neil Sedaka song.

by **Pal Joey** Fri 28 Mar 2014, 12:01 pm

Yes, that's correct Rowley. That one and Bad Blood are the only ones I know... Wink
