More Stones - Sympathy for the [6]

Let's see how few words you can give and still have the song be immediately obvious. We will start with one line. I bet we can get it down to a word or two if we try real hard. Here ya go.

I can sing the entire song...but not sure I know the title.

"You got the silver you got the gold" would be my best guess.

Just checked...close enough to count as right in my book. BTW for all you living under a rock it is also a Stones song.

How about this one line-er?

Love in Vain - Stones, Rolling

I was so jazzed up about our back and forth here that I just went and listened to the entire LP 180g reissue. Really a nice copy of that LP.

She said my breasts they will always be open

Baby, you can rest your weary head on me

And there will always be a space in my parking lot

When you need a little coke and sympathy

I'm a little confused 'bout the order of posts, but it looks the the challenge was solved and we don;t have a new one.

I'll interject one:

"If you go down to Willow Farm,

to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies

Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies,

like the fox on the rocks,

and the musical box."

Need more? Here goes:

"There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag,

he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag.

The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg,

the egg was a bird.

(Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail)

Hadn't you heard?

(They're going to change you into a human being!)

Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese,

and wonderfully clean in the morning."

Now, who writes lyrics like that? 2 of the band's members have had successful solo careers. There is very recent talk the band might reunite.

Name that Tune!
