Name That Tune....

[Snake45]

Know your head is spinnin'
Broken hearts will mend
This is our beginning
Comin to an end

[Snake45]

"Are you optimistic 'bout the way that things are going?"

"No, I never ever think of it at all."

That rings a bell. I think it's a Chicago song but can't think of the title.

[Snake45]

How many acts have done different songs called "Heartbreaker"? I'll start with three:

Led Zep

Grand Funk

Pat Benatar

I'll bet there are at least a dozen more.

[Mike_G]

Incense & Peppermints, Strawberry Alarm Clock. How I loved that song once. What was it, 1966, 67? I associate it with building early funny car models.

I still love that song. Ed King was in another band later, can you name it?

[slusher]

The miles are getting longer, it seems,

The closer I get to you.

I've not always been the best man or friend for you

Still not solved

[slusher]

I saw you

That was all I had to see

Wanted you

Had to have you next to me

From that moment

I knew that you'd be all I'd ever need

And there's a place inside my heart

Nobody's touched before

Still not solved

[slusher]

Know your head is spinnin'

Broken hearts will mend

This is our beginning

Comin to an end

Foo Fighters - Wheels. I really like wheels and What if I do? by them

[Snake45]

That rings a bell. I think it's a Chicago song but can't think of the title.

This morning it hits me. I think it's Questions 67 and 68.

Foo Fighters - Wheels. I really like wheels and What if I do? by them

Wheels is an awesome song. And I don't use that word often.

[tubbs]

Billie Jean by Michael Jackson

correct - I thought that was the easy one. I was very surprised that that song was not #1 that year as the Police "every breath you take" (which is the ultimate stalker song, really!! read the lyrics) was #1

[tubbs]

Still not solved

I like this guy and it's the only song I know by him...

coming home - daughtry

[tubbs]

Wheels is an awesome song. And I don't use that word often.

not much of a Foo fighters fan, don't know why. saw a 2 hour documentary on them. Grohl is a real perfectionist, ain't he? I have them on my computer here, maybe I will give a listen today.

top 3 songs of 1987

starting with #3

Girl, I've been watching you

From so far across the floor now baby

That's nothing new

I've watched you so many times before now baby

I see that look in your eyes

And what it's telling me

And you know girl that I'm not shy

I'm glad you picked up on my telepathy now baby

how this song got #3 over dance with somebody by Whitney Houston is beyond me.

[tubbs]

#2

I hear the ticking of the clock

I'm lying here the room's pitch dark

[tubbs]

and #1

The blond waitresses take their trays

They spin around and they cross the floor;

They got the moves.

You drop your drink then they bring you more.

[tubbs]

I still love that song. Ed King was in another band later, can you name it?

well, I will give it a shot, I know he was a big influence on lynyrd skynyrd and played guitar with them, but I am not sure if there was another band in-between the alarm clock and skynyrd.

I used to read the backs and the inner sleeves of albums like they were hot rod magazines.

How many acts have done different songs called "Heartbreaker"? I'll start with three:

Led Zep

Grand Funk

Pat Benatar

I'll bet there are at least a dozen more.

Add the Crystals.

[tubbs]

ok, here is one of my favorites. lots don't even know who the heck this guy is, but I have confidence you all will get it. turn up that reverb baby!!!!

Cold wind blows

The Gods look down in anger

On this poor child

[ChrisBcritter]

This lying, and cryin', is upsettin' and gettin' ya no where

It don't stack up, so slack up and pack up

I just don't care

Don't let the screen door hit you, on your way out.

Don't you drown when your dream boat runs onto the ground

Sanford-Townsend Band - "Smoke from a Distant Fire".

[tubbs]

Add the Crystals.

mariah carey had one and oh my God, don't hold this against me..... Justin Bieber had one too. the ONLY reason I know this was I thought in her early days Mariah was a fox. the Bieber thing, one of the mothers of a kid on our baseball team was a fan and she would play music between innings, this was one of the songs she would play.after a few games I got her to add "centerfield" to the playlist.

so I think that is #5 and #6.

[tubbs]

'nuther one of my favorites...

Get, get, get, get your long hair cut

And cut out your ways

[ChrisBcritter]

Nobody too famous sang this (the best version was on a Scopitone); it's a movie title song:

She'll turn your head, though she might use a judo hold

And on her shoulder's a chip made of solid gold

If you're a master of the underworld you'll be accepted in her queue

She is the perfect mistress of her art

She is the perfect mistress, too

"Modesty" (theme from the movie Modesty Blaise; killer Scopitone version by Virginia Vee)

Again a movie song (not a title song), this time sung by somebody famous; not a hit but should have been:

She makes love without a smile

Ooh hot dog it drives me wild

"Mean Woman Blues" - Elvis Presley (from the movie Loving You)

Geez. Shall we continue with the movie bit?

She needs a man

She's been without one for so long

She needs a man

Someone big and oh so strong

Lord, I think she needs Superman...

Hint: VHS only. An Armenian guy sings it.

[mnwildpunk]

I can't quote it cause there is no lyrics really but one of my favorites

[slusher]

#2

I hear the ticking of the clock

I'm lying here the room's pitch dark

Heart - Alone
