Name That Tune....

"And there he'd stand and yodel-lady-ooin' all day

And it would ring out for miles

You could hear him in every chalet..."

Hint: Big mostly novelty artist. Had a little trouble with the song's title because of objections from a beer company (which might have caused it to stall on the charts). Story in the song was partly copied for an episode of Family Guy.

Linda Ronstdt was the Queen of the Cover. All of "her' big hits were covers...

Poor, Poor Pitiful Me... I Can't Let Go... It's So Easy (to fall in love)... Silver Threads and Golden Needles... You're No Good... When Will I Be Loved... Love is a Rose...Heat Wave...That'll Be the Day...Carmelita... and on and on and on. All covers.

Blue Bayou, Living in the USA, Simple Man Simple Dream, Mad Love, Allison...and on and on.

Carmelita was a big hit for her? Funny, not in my area. (Although it must be Zevon's most-covered song. I bet I have recordings of four or five different artists covering it--which baffles me. It's a good song, but not IMHO a GREAT song. Zevon wrote many much, much better tunes that most people have never heard.)

"Fingernails are pretty, Fingernails are good,

seems that all they ever wanted was a market"..........

a small hint, the artist who did this song wrote all the lyrics, played all the instruments, and produced the album hisself.........

Noone will get this one, it's "This is a Call" by the Foo Fighters......

"Nobody can do the shing-a-ling like I do,

Nobody can do the skate like I do,

Nobody can do the boogaloo like I do,

Nobody can do the philly like I do"...

Nobody but Me, by the Isley Brothers

It started long ago in the garden of Eden

when Adam said to Eve 'baby, you're for me'
