Name That Tune!

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 8:53 am

We have a lot of fun with this over at Carnuts.us - my other online home - so I thought I'd try it here.........

It's simple, put up some lyrics and see if someone can name the tune and singer. I'll start with an easy one to get the ball rolling. There are no rules as to what song you put up, but if it's an obscure track of an old album, chances are no one will get it, so choose accordingly.

You think you lost your love,
When I saw her yesterday.
It's you she's thinking of
And she told me what to say.

Name that tune!

No, it's not "Help", although that's the right group...........

"She Loves You"

Yeah, yeah, yeah

2004

"Lights go down it’s dark
The jungle is your head - can’t rule your heart
A feeling is so much stronger than
A thought
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul it can’t be bought
Your mind can wonder"

Vertigo by U2?

Fairly recent............

That I dug my key into the side
of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats.
I took a louisville slugger to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires

I think that's one by Carrie Underwood? I don't listen to country, so I can't get the answer without cheating. Maybe someone else can get it?

It's like "Before He Cheats" or something. Yeah, I couldn't imagine why he'd want to leave a woman who seems to think that vandalism is an appropriate response to infidelity.

Winna!

Yeah, I thought these lyrics were interesting too........so, since she carved her name in his seats, think the cops will have any trouble finding and arresting her?

Guess I go again, from the year 2000,

"One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all
F*** 'em all
You are your own sight"

Apologies if anyone's offended by the diry word, but I can't get past the poetry of "blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts"

That is Minority by Green Day.

Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break

Well, I would never have gotten Green Day, but I like the Police........Synchronicity............

It is a trick question. You only have part of the answer correct!

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 9:25 am

Synchronicity II?

Here's one while I wait for Laurie's answer..........

Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue

You are correct Sir!

I had to Google this last one. I would never have gotten it in a million years. Maybe someone else can get it.

OK, in the meantime.............

See the curtains hangin' in the window,
in the evenin' on a Friday night.
A little light a-shinin' through the window,
lets me know everything is alright.

i am guessing here?

Nope.......

Mid 70's duo, great song too........some more if it then?

See the curtains hangin' in the window,
in the evenin' on a Friday night.
A little light a-shinin' through the window,
lets me know everything is alright

Refrain

See the paper laying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the door step
Through the screen and across the floor

Refrain

Yep, what tipped it for you, the extra lyrics or the Audio clue?

Here's Mark's clue..........

I was praying last night when an angel broke the line
She said "I'm gonna have to put you on hold for a time"
I said "Hold like Hell, let me talk to the Boss"
She said "Sorry sucker (sinner), it's the Boss's day off"

Mark, can you just go back and delete your other thread and post it here?

sweetlou · Post by **sweetlou** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 4:23 pm

Extra lyrics, but I did confirm with the audio plus I clicked on it to see exactly what it was. It would take me an hour to put that together I barely got the last in BOLD and it ended in the wrong spot.

I am inpressed with your powers.
