Name That Tune....

Are we going to nitpick something like "you" and "y'all" now?

If I wrote it just like Jagger said it all the time, it would look pretty strange.

Oh chunky......It's not "nitpick" as you said.

YOU put up a song I've heard since it came out - I kept going over it in my head and for some reason it didn't sound right.

So I double checked my answer before I posted..........

I understand you are wise beyond your years....Maybe you can 'school' me in rock 'n roll ?

[chunkypeanutbutter]

I think it's a matter of opinion.

It worked for Mark Twain.

I seen you around for a long long time, ya

I really remembered you when you drink my wine

[tubbs]

People let me tell you ‘bout my best friend,

He’s a warm hearted person who’ll love me till the end.

People let me tell you bout my best friend,

He’s a one boy cuddly toy, my up, my down, my pride and joy.

[tubbs]

Maybe I hang around here

A little more than I should

We both know I got somewhere else to go

But I got something to tell you

That I never thought I would

But I believe you really ought to know

The quaint old south side scenery is quaint no more

Just older than before

Go up the steps and down the hallway

Peter Asher (of Peter and Gordon) played young Prince Arthur in the old '50s TV series "The Adventures of Robin Hood" before his sister Jane (who was also on the show) became Paul McCartney's girlfriend and McCartney wrote "World without Love" for Peter & Gordon, who had a big hit with it. The incidental music for the show was composed by Edwin Astly whose daughter married Pete Townshend.

Well, there were the Monkees, who were created for TV. Mike Nesmith went on to gain some respect musically.

Rick Springfield was a soap opera star, wasn't he?

David Soul of Starsky & Hutch (and the movie Magnum Force) had one minor top-40 hit for a while. (It was horrifying.)

Eddie Murphy had one hit, but I think that was mostly the doing of his buddy Rick James.

Jennifer Lopez got her start as a "Fly Girl" dancer on the old comedy show In Living Color.

And didn't Britney Spears get her start as a child actress on some TV show? She's had a pretty good run at a musical career.

I don't think anybody will get this so I'll say it.

So Long Dad -Randy Newman

Was later covered by Harry Nilsson on "Nilsson Sings Newman," a really, really great album.

OK, let's try something a bit different. Two different songs, but near identical theme and structure - they could easily become a medley:

1. Into the city

Where I had my eye

On all the pleasures

That money can buy...

2. This tired city

Was somebody's dream

A billboard horizon

As black as they seem...

#1 - Female folk/pop singer; this was as close to a hit as she got

Verdelle Smith - Tar and Cement

#2 - Group with three number one hits but this one only charted number 12

Three Dog Night - Family of Man

Let's try something else.

Seven lonely days

And a dozen towns ago...

I don't know if Rick Springfields acting got him into singing or the other way around Snake. He was Noah Drake on General Hospital and made a move in the 80's Hard to Hold. but he has been in a bunch of stuff..

Britney Spears I think got started from star search. I remember her on there. Eddie Murphy had 2 hits party all the time and then Put your mouth on me...

Ooh, somethin's got a hold on me now
It's a feelin', burnin' like a lover on fire
Hold me tight, baby
Don't leave me by myself tonight
