Name That Tune!

If that's too hard, try this one............

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy, snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty,
oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen,
knotted, polka dotted, twisted, beaded, braided,
powered, flowered and confettied, bangled, tangled, spangled and spahettied.

I am gonna make a wild guess and go with HAIR.

If it is right, I will even amaze myself!

You are correct!

Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 3:50 pm

Try this one

Every time I look at you I don't understand,
why you let the things you did get so out of hand?
You'd've managed better if you'd just had a plan.
Why'd you choose such a backwards time in such a strange land?
If you'd come today you would've reached a whole nation.
Israel in 4 B.C. had no mass communication.

Yet another one that dates you, dude!

Jesus Christ, Superstar

The song is actually named just "Superstar."

How about this: (all-time favorite)

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you cant get

Didn't figure that one would last long.

Let somebody love you
before it's too late.

Speedy, put one up for us?

speed_racer · Post by **speed_racer** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 2:23 pm

Ok here's mine.

Where to, where do I go?
If you never try then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine

Doh! I know I knew this song. I just couldn't figure it out without cheating. I must say, this is on one of my fav albums. Every song is wonderful!

Lol, me too. I love all their albums. I had all their songs on loop yesterday on my iPod, so I decided to pick one. It was much harder than I thought because I like them all!

I had to look it up, I have never knowingly listened to this band............

I guess I'm just a lame old fart who likes to eat instead listening to the radio while I drive my MINI

Well since no one seems to be able to get this, I'll fess up. It's "Speed of Sound" by Coldplay from their X&Y album.

So, try this one instead. "Old-fart" friendly.

Hanging on in a quiet desperation is the English way

Pink Floyd

The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Time

speed_racer · Post by **speed_racer** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 8:04 am

Exactly. I knew it would be easy, but I heard that song Sunday and that has always been my favorite line from that song. I'm glad I finally put up one that was answered right away!

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:59 am

OK, try this one then!

Crabalocker fishwife
Pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
you let your knickers down

DDodge · Post by **DDodge** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 4:07 pm

I know that one!

Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower. . .

"I am the Walrus," by the Beatles - great song

Here's another odd one:

The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea.

'If I Had a Boat' - Lyle Lovett.

not really a lyle lovett fan, but my friend Matt did a great cover -

You got it!

Lyle Lovett - thinking person's country. If you listen to some of it, you begin to understand what Julia Roberts saw in him.

Your turn.

Here's an easy one while we wait for Em to get back to us.......

It's got a four barrel carb, and dual exhaust
With four:eleven gears you can really get lost.
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
The brakes are good, the tires are fair

DDodge · Post by **DDodge** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:21 pm

Isn't that the second go round for Hot Rod Lincoln?

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:46 pm

Oh, probably.................

All right, I like this group but I thought this was just the sillyest song...........

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block

Post by **Laurie** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:56 pm

The Bangles, Walk Like An Epyptian. Now you are getting to the decade where I might be able to answer more.

Post by **Laurie** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:58 pm

I'll wait to see if Emster has one since she got the Lyle Lovett one.

Minidave · Post by **Minidave** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 3:07 pm

Laurie got it, put one up while we wait for Em if you like. I know plenty of the more popular 80's songs and groups, but not all and very few once we got into the 90's.........
