Name That Tune!

OK-- it's "Johnny get angry" and yes I used to dance to this song.

How about "Playin' my records, keep dancin' all night
Leave me alone for a while
'Till Johnny's dancin' with me
I've got no reason to smile"
It's the same time frame---

It's My Party - Leslie Gore

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 1:13 pm

A little more contemporary, and widely played.............

If you wake up and don't want to smile,

If it takes just a little while,

Open your eyes and look at the day,

You'll see things in a different way.

No one recognizes this song? It played a part in a not too distant past presidential campaign..........

"Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow"?

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 10:46 am

That's the one......."Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac. Remember when Clinton used it as his first campaign song?

Let's go old school!

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.

"Boy named Sue"??

Can't fool you!

Here's one while we're waiting for Davester to put one up.......

This song played an interesting and improtant plot point in one of the episodes on "Taxi"

NTT!

I feel like this is the beginning,
Though I've loved you for a million years,
And if I thought our love was ending,
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears

Extra points if you can tell us why or which episode of "Taxi" it was in....

While pondering the "Taxi"song; here's one for y'all

"She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog.
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd forgot her medication,
and she staggered out the door into the snow. "

Have fun with this one-- We will have a sing along later

You are both correct---

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:24 pm

Nobody got my "Taxi" song?

Where were you guys in the 80's and 90's? This show was in reruns for ever!

I'll give you all one more hint, the artist was Stevie Wonder........

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:31 pm

Here's another one with a TV theme for you to guess...........

All those nights when you've got no lights
The check is in the mail
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail
And your third fiance didn't show"

refrain

"Climbing the walls when no one calls
You've lost at love again
And the more you're down and out
The more you need a friend
When you long to hear a kind hello"

davester · Post by **davester** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 2:04 pm

"Isn't she lovely"?

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 2:39 pm

Is that the only Stevie Wonder song you could think of?

Not "Isn't she lovely"..........

Here is some more of it...........

I feel like this is the beginning,
Though I've loved you for a million years,
And if I thought our love was ending,
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears

You must have known that I was lonely,
Because you came to my rescue,
And I know that this must be heaven,
How could so much love be inside of you?

Is it the Rev.Jim love song????????????

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 3:59 pm

I think you're on to it, the episode was when Rev Jim's father died, and he found a cassette in the pocket of his father's coat that had this song on it - he and his father hadn't spoken for years...........

The title of the song was "You are the sunshine of my life" Here

davester · Post by **davester** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 6:16 pm

Charlotte and I were married in Las Vegas by a Rev. Jim. We thought that was a hoot---

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 1:10 pm

Heard this one on the way in to work this am, one of my favorite bands.........I'll post the whole lyric, but the title to the song is not in the lyrics............

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
