Name that Tune - do not cheat by Googling Lyrics

[Jeff Matthews]

______ __ ___ _____ is a gas, Baby can you dig it?

My first guess was "walkin' in the grass" is a gas. I googled it, so I know I was wrong. I remember the song well.

If you were a cow or a horse, you'd have guessed it. []

[Guest srobak]

I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, they can dig it.

Can you dig it, baby?

69 Boyz - "Whoomp! There it is!"

Strange choice - I would have never guessed that from you.

Ok - my turn

Well they're coming from above me and they're coming from below.
Yeah they're in there right behind me everywhere that I go.
And my buddy he's screaming down the telephone line

He said: Gimme gimme gimme!
I say: I ain't got no time,no

[Jeff Matthews]

I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, they can dig it.

Can you dig it, baby?

69 Boyz - "Whoomp! There it is!"

Strange choice - I would have never guessed that from you.

Nope! I'm surprised mine was so difficult. Here it is. Enjoy.

Srobak has the pending challenge. Name his tune!

[jacksonbart]

I can hear Chris Rea singing it but I can't think of the title.

[Jeff Matthews]

JB, you had me thinking it was "Texas" for a minute. Now, I'll never be able to read those lyrics without the "Texas" tune going through my head at the same time.

[Guest srobak]

haha... don't ya hate it when that happens?

JB is right on the artist.

Here is a hint - we all do it every day. Well... at least 5 days a week.

[Jeff Matthews]

Hey, this is supposed to be G-rated... [:$]

[Guest srobak]

It is! hahah

Wow - no guesses yet? C'mon - it's like one of only 3 songs of his that have top-40 charted in the US in the last 25 years...

More lyrics...

I got 8 little fingers and only 2 thumbs
Wont you leave me in peace while I get the job done?

And the prelude...

Oh how I'd love it girl, just you and me

Take the day and fly

But oh this job, it's got the best of me

Tell you why, tell you why



Somebody above is in a desperate state

Some kind of urgency, the kind that won't wait

I say tomorrow, he say today

And the man in my head well he tell me no way

If I type any more, it will have the name of the song hehehe...

[Guest srobak]

Hrm... ok :|

"Working on it" by Chris Rea, Album: New Light Through Old Windows, 1988

New tune:

Some of them standing, some were waiting in the line

As if there was something that they thought they might find

Taking some strength from the feelings that always were shared

And in the background, the eyes that just stared



What was it brought you out here in the dark?

Was it your only way of making your mark

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head?

Do you now miss them and the things that they said?



On your own admission you raised up the knife

And you brought it down ending another man's life

When it was done you just threw down the blade

While the red blood spread wider like the anger you made



I don't want this anger that's burning in me

It's something from which it's so hard to be free

But none of the tears that we cry in sorrow or rage

Can make any difference, or turn back the page

Murder--David Gilmour

I cant seem to face up to the facts
Im tense and nervous and i
Cant relax
I cant sleep cause my beds on fire
Dont touch me Im a real live wire

Geeeez, remember this thread?

 

Psycho killer T-Heads?

 

Well the rich are gettin' richer
And the poor are gettin' drunk
In a black and white picture
There's a lot of grey bunk
