colterphoto1 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Max, we're talking 1978, hardly current, how OLD are you anyway? Grammatically disasterous- LOL Ok, I think I got that last one. Here's one for ya Max, I must insist that the wording be correct in the title. Brezhnev took Afghanistan. Begin took Beirut. Galtieri took the Union Jack. And Maggie, over lunch one day, Took a cruiser with all hands. Apparently, to make him give it back Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxg Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Ray, You swine - I would have gotten that one in an instant - and I have no idea about your new one. What's a guy gotta do - watch this thread all day and night? Actually I thought Galtieri "stole" the Union Jack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Feeling good, feeling right it's Saturday Night The hotel detective he was outa sight We're an American Band by Grand Funk Ray, shame on you, that was a gimme for Max! Here's another one from across the pond. Get ready Max.....hint, there's an oblique reference to a department store they call "Marks and Sparks" Now Lucy looks sweet cause he dresses like a queen But he can kick like a mule it's a real mean team But we can love oh yes we can love And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones We never got it off on that revolution stuff Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Interesting choice there Michael, Actually written by Bowie for use on the Ziggy album but he gave it to Mott the Hoople when he heard they were breaking up. They had a devil of a job getting it played because of the trans-gender stuff - which was big news at the time once everyone figured out Lola - walks like a woman but talks like a man..boy will be girls and girls will be boys stuff..... Oh - All the young Dudes of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 OK - should be an easy one - although it was never a single - but as an album track it made quite an impression on the then young me: "I dreamed i saw on a moonlit stair Spreading his hand to the multitude there A man who cried for a love gone stale And ice cold hearts of charity bare" I will accept album and group name if you cant remember the title - as I never can.

colterphoto1 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Max not only names the tune but gives a brief bio. Well done! Now for bonus points, give the stage name of Mott's lead guitar player. That was a Queen number written by Brian May with round robin lyrics. In very bizarre choir boy fashion...And two by two by..two by two by..two by two by..two by two by...two by two bynow i know, now i know,now i know,now i know,now i know,now i know,I'll sort throught the LP's but should have the album title shortly.Yup, it was my first guess, A Night at the Opera, song is 'The Prophet Song', same album as Bohemian Rhapsody, full of vocal gymnastics...Here's the next one...I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..." Correct song title pleaseM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 "Speak to me" off DSOTM - need a moment to come up with another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Try this one: "Back in the back Of a Cadillac Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack Yes, I'm in a bang With a gang They've got to catch me if they want me to hang Cause I'm back on the track And I'm beatin' the flack Nobody's gonna get me on another rap So look at me now I'm just makin' my play Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxg Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 What again??? OK - someone else can try this: "Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light, And shouted at the devil, "Get thee hence to endless night!!""

fletcherkane Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 That was a tough one mate...my wife remembered it though. That's Spanish Train, from Spanish Trains and Other Stories, 1975 Chris De Burgh Here's another. It's a tuffy. I will give you most of the lyrics to the song...Here goes... Wrong thoughts and emotions Have blinded the eyes of faith Misguided devotion kept a pilgrim In dire straits Where does one go Where do you turn The guilt and fear Depression lurks Just beyond your back door Waiting for your Decision To live and learn Deep in the valley Caught a glimpse of the morning star If we could just reach you Get to know who you really are Where does one go Where do you turn There's a place A fortress high And an open door Waiting for your Reception When you arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 ugh, sounds like some chick band. Horrific lyrics, I hope the music is as bad. No idea.. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletcherkane Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Alright Colter, I won't make you guys suffer. My library of relatively obscure music could probably stump you guys for days...and most likely grind this thread to a halt...I won't do that...It is the Christmas season afterall[] It's not a chick band, and the song is actually pretty cool...very Beatlesque. It's "Stong Tower" from Phil Keaggy's 1988 Release "Find Me in These Fields" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 got another? maybe a bit more mainstream. I still don't recognize it even having been given the name and artist. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletcherkane Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Phil Keaggy..former lead guitarist with "Glass Harp"...25+years as a solo artist, 40+ solo albums, now back with "Glass Harp" Don't skip over this guy...most underrated guitarist in the world IMHO. Anyway, a more mainstream lyric you seek? Try this...(hint--it's a band from my youth...early 80's) Not long now till the ultimate experiment He's breaking all the rules He wants to cure all matter of imbalance In this world of fools He locks the door and looks around nervously He knows there's no one there He drinks it down and waits for some reaction To all his work and care Hey, hey he fumbles for what to say He loves the world except for all the people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletcherkane Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I knew I would grind it to a halt...I'll give you the all the answer, and then I'll just play nice and watch from here on out... It's...Dr Heckyll and Mr Jive by Men at Work. Somebody else's turn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Well, okay, then. Next: Singer Let me sing a song Singer Let me sing a song You don't have to worry Cause singer you can sing along This one's for Colter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Come on, Michael. At least tell me you've seen the challenge. The answer must lie somewhere deep in your collection.... but it's got to be there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
