Name that Tune - No Cheating Using Computer Word Searches

[twheats1]

The Eagles, "In the City"

Try this easy one:

"I went home with a waitress

The way I always do

How was I to know

She was with the Russians too."

[oldtimer]

Send lawyers Guns and Money---Zevon

She really worked me over good
She was a credit to her gender
She put me through some changes, Lord
Sort of like a Waring blender

[twheats1]

Another Zevon tune, covered by Linda Rondstadt

Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me

Here's another oldy, but goody

"I pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling bout half past dead

I just need some place, where I can lay my head."

[theryugobuddy]

So old its crusty -- The Weight by the Band. Levon's best vocal ever--

How about this:

Cop on the corner, look he's startin' to write
I don't need no ticket so I screamed out of sight,
Drove so fast that my eyes can't see,
Look in the mirror is he still followin' me?

[theryugobuddy]

a driving song by a driving band--

[theryugobuddy]

This is so not obscure --huge hit from three or four hit band--band had a proper name, but was known by three initials--

a little more:

We rented a truck and a semi to go
Travel down the long and winding road
Look on the map I think we've been here before,
Close the doors let's roll once more

[Jeff Matthews]

Good one. "Roll on down the Highway" by Bachman Turner Overdrive.

Next:

"Too many mountains, and not enough stairs to climb
Too many churches and not enough truth
Too many people and not enough eyes to see
Too many lives to lead and not enough time"

Name that Tune!

[oldtimer]

She's Come Undone--various groups

"I'm getting tired of waiting and fooling around

I'll find somebody, who won't make me feel like a clown

This can't go on..."

[Jeff Matthews]

"You've Got to Change Your Evil Ways" by Santana.

Next:

"I had a dream
But it turned to dust
What I thought was love
That must have been lust."

Name that Tune!

[oldtimer]

Now that's right.

Yeah, pretty simultaneous so I edited my post as well.

[Jeff Matthews]

I was fixing the title as you were telling me I was wrong. Now, I am right. Name my tune!

[Jeff Matthews]

Come on, Oldie! Name that Tune! This one has your name written all over it!

[jacksonbart]

its another Santana song, but drawing a blank

[Jeff Matthews]

Catchey lyrics, aren't they? You can almost sing them and hear the tune.

[rplace]

Winning or I'm Winning - For sure Santana.

Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl...violins...center of her own attention
The, mother reads aloud, child, tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud

Not quite old enough to be classic rock, but I am sure you will all know it. Tons of air play. This should not last long.

[oldtimer]

Yeah, it clicks a small part of my feeble mind but can't quite place it yet.

[twheats1]

Pearl Jam's "Daughter"

Let's try

"I can't seem to face up to the facts I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax"

"I can't sleep cuz my bed's on fire, don't touch me I'm a real live wire"

[oldtimer]

Psycho Killer--Talking Heads

One of my all time favorite songs. The live version on Stop Making Sense equals PARTY!

Here's an easy one but still a great tune:

Here am I floating
round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.

[dbflash]

David Bowie "Major Tom"

I don't know why but I have been playing this band over and over for the last week.

Mommy had a little baby.

There he is fast asleep.

He's jus a little plaything.

Why not wake him up?

Cute Cute Little baby.

Little pee pee. Little toes.

Now he's comin' to me.

Crawl across the kitchen floor.

[oldtimer]

Talking Heads from Little Creatures---song is Stay Up Late.

I'll tell you why. They were an incredible band with great lyrics and musicianship.

Here's one you should get then:

Somebody said that it happens all over the world
I do believe that it's true
And the sun's coming up
And we're doing all the things that we should
Doesn't everybody here believe in the things we do?
