Name that Tune - No Cheating Using Computer Word Searches


Jeff Matthews

Recommended Posts

"Life During Wartime" by the Talking Heads.

Next:

"In the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far
We know you've got to blame someone
For your own confusion
But we're on guard this time
Against your final solution"

Hint: This was a very popular tune by a "one hit" band. It received huge radio play. I'll be out for a while, so if you want to give up and interject a new challenge, go ahead.

"In the twilight's last gleaming

This is open season

But you won't get too far

We know you've got to blame someone

For your own confusion

But we're on guard this time

Against your final solution"

Red Rider's 'Lunatic Fringe'

Through all these cities and all these towns

It's in my blood and it's all around

Name that tune!

Sorry that nobody got it in 24 hours. Perhaps someone else can post one?

Life is a Highway by Tom Cochran.

Life's like a road that you travel on

When there's ne day here and the next day gone

Somethimes you bend and sometimes you stand

Sometimes you turn your head to the wind

There's a world outside ev'ry darkened door

Where blues won't haunt you anymore

Where brave are free and lovers soar

Come ride with me to the distant shore

We won't hesitate

Break down the garden's gate

There's not much time left today

Life is a highway

I wanna ride it all night long

If you're going my way

I wanna drive it all night long

Through all these cities and all these towns

It's in my blood and it's all around

I love you now like I loved you then

This is the road and these are the hands

From Mozambique to those Memphis nights

The khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

Knock me down get back up again

You're in my blood

I'm not a lonely man

There's no load I can't hold

Road so rough this I know

I'll be there when the light comes in

Just tell 'em we're survivors

Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah

If you're going my way

I wanna drive it all night long

There was a distance between you and I

A misunderstanding once

But now we look in the eye

There ain't no load that I can't hold

Road so rough this I know

I'll be there when the light comes in

Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway

I wanna ride it all night long

If you're going my way

I wanna drive it all night long

No Bill--go again! You earned it!!

Apologies, all. I'm in the middle of emptying out a house. Haven't been able to check as often as I'd like. I figured (hoped) that someone else would post a challange. Here's one by a world-class band:

Messrs. K and H assure the public

Their production will be second to none

And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!

Name that tune!

Oh man, it's The Beatles, White Album I think, I just can't come up with the title . . . more lyrics from memory, forgive me if they are not quite right

For the benefit of Mr. Kite, there will be a show tonight

on trampoline

The Hendersons will all be there, (blah blah blah blah blah blah blah),

what a scene!

Sounds like a weiner to me. You're up!!!!

From "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

"Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!"

For the benefit of Mr. Kite

There will be a show tonight on trampoline

The Hendersons will all be there

Late of Pablo Fanques Fair, what a scene!

Over men and horses hoops and garters

Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!

In this way Mr. Kite will challenge the world!

The celebrated Mr. Kite

Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate

The Hendersons will dance and sing

As Mr. Kite flys through the ring, don't be late!

Messrs. K and H assure the public

Their production will be second to none

And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!

The band begins at ten to six

When Mr. Kite performs his tricks without a sound

And Mr. H will demonstrate

Ten summersets he'll undertake on solid ground

Having been some days in preparation

A splendid time is guaranteed for all

And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill!

Wasn't really prepared for that, but okay . . .

My eyes convinced, eclipsed with the younger moon attained with love.

It changed as almost strained amidst clear manna from above.

I crucified my hate and held the word within my hand.

Theres you, the time, the logic, or the reasons we dont understand.

Yes, Close To The Edge, cut two side one... but I've no idea what the name of the song is...

Just in case that passes, how about:

God sends his spaceships to America, the beautiful

They land at six o'clock and there we are, the dutiful

Eating from TV trays, tuned in to Happy Days

Waiting for World War III while Jesus slaves

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz---

No responses for a few days --

I got a good one--

How about this:

Shes takin a swipe at fun
She gives me a reason
For sighting my sights
Well I know XXXXXXXXXXXX
She jangles me up
She does it with ease
And sometimes she passes through me
Just like a breeze
She gives me a reason
For feelin all right

Ok will do. Here is one

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway

Bob Dylan for sure---Don't Think Twice, It's All Right..

Now the rovin' gambler he was very bored

He was tryin' to create a next world war

He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor

He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before

Highway 61 revisted - Dylan
