Name that Tune...

[WhyNotaSooner]

OK, here's an off season thread that everyone can participate in... There's no politics, no social issues, and no religion in this thread. So everybody can participate. A few small but important ground rules.

1. All genres of music can participate. Any song.
2. Post a section or part of the lyrics in a tune.
3. Whoever names the tune is the next to post their tune.
4. In an effort to keep the thread moving alone, after 10 guess attempts or a day or so of time, and nobody guesses it, the poster offers up another tune. Post a section or part of the lyrics in the tune.
5. We all know google can be our friend, but resist in an effort to learn something
6. After the song has been guessed, the OP should follow up w/ a post of the year & song writer.

I'll start it off with this....

You hurt and abuse tellin' all of your lies.
Run around sweet baby, Lord how you hypnotize.
Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been.
Gonna love you baby, here I come again.

Name that tune....

 

[Soonersincefitty]

D and C, way too easy.

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

D and C, way too easy.

Had to get it rolling.

Released, Jan 1969 Led Zepplin

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

Pick a good one Fitty.... you're the music man.

 

[K2C Sooner]

D and C, way too easy.

Whoops, broke the rules in the original post.............

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Yep, played that a couple o times.

I'm gonna recuse myself for having an unfair advantage, but I'll look in and read the thread on occasion.

Go ahead on...entertain me.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Oh, the tune you deleted K2C, either Boy George or Hank Jr. I'm flummoxed...

 

[K2C Sooner]

Oh, the tune you deleted K2C, either Boy George or Hank Jr. I'm flummoxed...

Yep, Jr. Women I never had..........

Since you won't post one, I'll do it for you.

Tiptoe through the tulips with meeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Listen to the whole thing .I dare you

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Man, I didn't like that when it came out...sure it hasn't improved with age...

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Where's nota?
He gave birth to this thing.

Leaving the baby unattended in a hot car in Houston...tick tick tick.

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

Had a biz call. ugh.

Come on Fitty... throw one up and see who can guess it, when/if they do, they then will throw one up..

 

[iasooner1]

Here's an easy one (NO Schoonerman allowed)

"In the darkened room
Where the chairs dismayed
And the horrible curtains
Muffled the rain
She could hardly believe her eyes"

 

[K2C Sooner]

Here's an easy one (NO Schoonerman allowed)

"In the darkened room
Where the chairs dismayed
And the horrible curtains
Muffled the rain
She could hardly believe her eyes"

I'll take a wild guess. Maybe "White Room" by Cream?

 

[iasooner1]

Keep trying but no peeking...
Maybe my 10K will be the answer...
Oh heck no !!!!!!

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Here's another to woodshed.

"Closing my dream, inside its paper bag...
Thought I saw angels but I could have been wrong..."

Think, way back machine.

Jethro Tull To Cry you a song

 

[JConXtsy]

"I hear your voice,
I'll set you free.
I'm Jesus Christ on Ecstasy."

and now you'll all know where JConXtsy comes from, although I'll make note that this username was created by me back during the infancy of the internet when I was a young, heretical teenager. It has become convenient to keep it, since it's never an unavailable name.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Right on jturpen...you either googled that or you're old. If the later, get a haircut hippy.

As far as you jcon, ahem, I've got zilch.

Carry on gentlemen.

 

[jturpen]

JConXtsy its by Nine Inch Nails and Soonersincefitty I am going on 39 and I don't need google I grew up with music like this. I grew up with Rainbow singing Since You've Been Gone, to The Who singing Pinball Wizard many other songs from like Head East hit Never Been Any Reason.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Very good turpen, I stand corrected.
An impressive resume for someone so relatively young vis a vis the tunes you named.

Go ahead and throw down a song clue, per the rules...you're up at bat.

 

[JConXtsy]

You're correct, jturpen.

Those lyrics come from the song "Suck" which was one of the two bonus tracks on Nine Inch Nails' second album, "Broken."

The song was originally written by the band Pigface which happened to include Trent Reznor off and on. That's why it was just a bonus track on the Broken album.

 

[jturpen]

Once upon a time once when you were mine, love is all we knew and all I knew was you I wonder where you are I wonder if you think about me.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Just to perpetuate this, here's a gravy one.
Penned by a childhood friend/neighbor who became kind of a big deal, Jimmy Webb.

"Someone left the cake out in the rain".

 

[JConXtsy]

Once upon a time once when you were mine and all I knew was you I wonder where you are and I wonder if you think about me.

I'm not going to cheat. I don't really know this one, but it sounds like a Tom Petty lyric.

 

[JConXtsy]

I'm not going to cheat. I don't really know this one, but it sounds like a Tom Petty lyric.

OK, I cheated now and once I saw the artist, I knew that I had heard that lyric before...

 

[Plainosooner]

My sister won a thousand dollars in a Dallas radio station call in contest in about 1974, correctly identifying the song with these lyrics.

The message may not move me, or mean a great deal to me,
But hey, it feels so groovy to say.

"Evelyn, A Modified Dog" by Frank Zappa

Evelyn, a modified dog
Viewed the quivering fringe of a special doily
Draped across the piano, with some surprise

In the darkened room
Where the chairs dismayed
And the horrible curtains
Muffled the rain
She could hardly believe her eyes

A curious breeze
A garlic breath
Which sounded like a snore
Somewhere near the Steinway (or even from within)
Had caused the doily fringe to waft & tremble in the gloom

Evelyn, a dog, having undergone
Further modification
Pondered the significance of short-person behavior
In pedal-depressed panchromatic resonance
And other highly ambient domains . . .

Arf she said

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

Throw up another one Gary...

 

[iasooner1]

OK, here is one that every rocker should have no problem with:

I walk a lonely road
The only one I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Green Day, boulevard.

 

[iasooner1]

Too damn easy! Great call fitzer!

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing through my open ears
inciting and inviting me

GO!

 

[iasooner1]

Nothing's gonna change my world. beatles?

Jai Guru Deva OM (got sorta close without looking...)

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Mmm, Beatles is right...so close.

 

[iasooner1]

Ohm, OM oh my!

"Someone left the cake out in the rain".

Wasn't that "McArthur Park" or some such (and no I didn't research it)

 

[Soonersincefitty]

You got it Gar
Jimmy was apparently trying hook the LSD crowd.
I mean, google up the lyrics...there is some wild imagery there mon frere.

Funny, he's one of those wildly successful fellows, ultra rich, still gets residual mailbox money weekly...yet, he's not at all shy to proclaim, "To God goes all the glory".

(suck on that one Satan)

 

[iasooner1]

More FZ fun:

She was a debutante daisy
With a color-note organ
Deep in the street
She drove a '59 morgan

chorus (and then)

She didn't like it when her fan belt
Shrunk and got shorter
(ointment)
Battery leak could nearly cost her a quarter

Schoonerman jump on in here and enlighten the masses...

Yep, good taste Veritas.
