Name That Tune!

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why,
If you don't know by now.
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why,
it don't matter anyhow

Another song with 100 people covering it... but I know who the original was from (though that's not the version I have on my ipod)

One of my all-time favorites. "Don't Think Twice - It's All Right" - Mr. Bob Dylan. I remember it when it was new, thanks for bringing it back to me.

I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul. . .

OK here's one from the seventies:

We meet every day at the same cafe
Six-thirty I know she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song.

- - - - - - - - -

We gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes too high
Cause she's got her own obligations and so - and so do I

Me and Mrs. Jones

He's just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I too really enjoy the song. My personal fave version is by Mike Ness, lead singer/founder of Social Distortion.

Your go then, Geoff........

Cease to exsist, giving my goodbye
drive my car into the ocean
you'll think I'm dead, but I sail away

You are on a roll with the oft-covered songs!

It's "Wave of Mutilation" and my favorite cover is by the Pixies. How 'bout you Geoff?

So, ragtopday, your turn to put up a song for us to guess then......

Post by **ragtopday Johnna** » Wed May 07, 2008 1:13 pm

Here ya go...

I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventeen days
'cause there's nothing, there's nothing you can teach me
that I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway

Rehab by Amy Winehouse.

Should have been called "Irony" but that's just me.

Yep....it's your go again!

something I suspect that no one will get, even though I did hear it on the radio the other day (and was surprised by that)

I can show you how to do-si-do
I can show you how to scratch a record
I can take apart the remote control
And I can almost put it back together
I can tie a knot in a cherry stem
I can tell you about Leif Ericson
I know all the words to "De Colores"
And "I'm Proud to be an American"

I'm taking a total guess and saying Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American" only because it does not sound like the lyrics to John Mellancamps "Pink Houses".

Ah ha! I think I do know this one. It gets pretty good rotation on The Buzz. Handlebars by The Flobots, right?

That is correct! And Laurie, if you like that song the whole album is pretty good. For that matter, anyone, really. Be warned, however, it's pretty highly politically charged, and fairly far left.

Geoff, I will have to look them up and give a listen.

Now, on to the next one.

There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someones coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess

Post by **Laurie** » Sun May 11, 2008 7:55 pm

Perhaps a hint. This particular band will be here on Tuesday.

Okay, since no one has got this one I will give you the answer.

It is Murder By Numbers by The Police.

Let's try this one on for size.

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart

A hint, these guys will be coming to town very soon as well.

Post by **Laurie** » Mon May 19, 2008 10:35 am

I guess I have stumped you all again!

Perhaps one more hint.

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I've set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Comet tails
Heads on the science apart

Post by **Laurie** » Thu May 22, 2008 9:39 am

It is The Scientist by Coldplay. They will be here in June, go see them!

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Wed May 28, 2008 5:49 pm

Let me try one............

Seems as though a month ago I beta chi, never got high,

Oh, I was a sorry guy.

And now a smile, a face, a girl that shares my name,

Now I'm through with the game, this boy will never be the same.

Bernard Cline · Post by **Bernard Cline** » Wed May 28, 2008 6:15 pm

Danny's Song by Kenny Loggins?
