Jeff Matthews Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 Check the rules. If you have a song in mind, you are free to Google search the SONG NAME, like search for "lyrics smoke on the water." Find the song, check its lyrics, and see if you're right. Just don't search for LYRICS in Google because that would be a dead giveaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I see...never been much for reading the manual or the rules...but this is fun. BTW, I got it right. Here ya go: How you get a rude and a reckless? Don't you be so crude and a feckless You been drinking booze for breakfast Name that tune!

rplace Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I better give you a hint before I head out and away from the computer for a while.... The band is a London foursome inducted into the RnR hall of fame in 2003. Not good enough you say...how about some more lyrics. So we reply I know that my life make you nervous But I tell you that I can't live in service Like the doctor who was born for a purpose EDIT: Olorin, I see you are on the board right now...I had you pegged as an anti-establishment kind of guy...I thought you would be all over this one.

Olorin Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Nope, got me on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Final hint till I find another computer: The song is about "Rude Boys" in Jamaica also know as Rudies. More lyrics you ask: I went to the market To realize my soul Cause what I need I just dont have it First they curse Then they press me til I hurt We say... *Title of Song Goes Here* Everyone's homework for the weekend is to go out and buy the album London Calling by The Clash. This song is on it and simply must be listened to at least once a week until you die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksonbart Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 See the rules on first page. There is a LEGAL was to check your answer w/o disqualifying yourself. I didn't cheat by looking up the lyrics, I just like Dire Straits. Thought the point was to guess, sorry. From his new album, hint he is english "While I was watching you did a slow dissolve" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 JacksonBart, what I was saying is you don't have to wonder whether you're right. You have a song in mind, so you can look it up and read its lyrics to confirm. That's not cheating. Cheating is doing a word search on the lyrics themselves. Allowing you to look up the song and check the lyrics keeps the game moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Matthews Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 The artist is David Gray. Never heard of him, so I have no idea what the tune is. Okay all you David Gray fans! This ones for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
