Name That Tune!

[D_Rainger]

Twin leads, two drummers, an impossibly soulful vocalist - Rolling Stone

Everybody wants to know where Jimmy has gone

He left town, I doubt if he's coming back home

Well Tony got a job, three kids and a lovely wife

Working at the Commerce Bank for the rest of his life

Nobody left to run with anymore

Nobody left to do the crazy things we used to do before

Nobody left to run with anymore

I'm gonna hit the road, adios my friend

Go someplace and start all over again

Don't know where I'm going, like a gypsy out on the road

I'll go someplace and join a traveling show

Name the artists and the title of the song then post your own so someone else can guess.

Hope you get it,

Well i not know any country songs only rock so I will have to bow out I am afraid oh yes and nursery rhymes

[ChrisKnight]

This one is before my time

[D_Rainger]

It's not what I would call country and it's not that old. The album is from the 90's

-D_Rainger

[MyNameIsDee]

I still cant imagine who it could be *looks puzzled*

[D_Rainger]

Boy, I'm sorry, I didn't think it would be that hard! It's the Allman Brothers Band from their album "Where It All Begins." It was recorded in 1994. Supposedly Dickey Betts wrote it about leaving the past behind and starting a new life. Take a good close look at the chorus, and you should be able to guess the title. I'll accept anything that is close.

[DollyDiaper]

Thanks DR but your clue has still left me clueless

Taking a major stab in the dark here - is it called Nobody Left?

D lly

[D_Rainger]

*DING*DING*DING* (bells, whistles, chimes). Close enough. It's called "No One To Run With."

I won't make them so hard next time. Of course, it is possible that my musical taste is so far off center that no one can relate. I was brought up on Lesley Gore and the Beach Boys from my brother's influence. I graduated to The Ventures ending up with Creedence, Santana, The Doors, Malo, mixed with Glenn Miller and Leadbelly. Strange huh? I'm stuck in the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's

GO FOR IT DOLLY!

No bad place to be stuck in DR and I can relate - Doors & Beachboys anyway.

here goes then, but I've cut out the chorus, which would give the game away -

I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me.

I tried to hide from your love light,

But like heaven above me, the spy who loved me,

Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight.

The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me,

There's some kind of magic inside you,

That keeps me from runnin', but just keep it comin',

How’d you learn to do the things you do?

Dolly, those lyrics sound so familiar, but I can't think where I know them from.

Strictly no Googling eh?

[Sunshine2585]

Nope. I will just have to wait until someone posts the answer.

"Nobody Does It Better" by Carly Simon

am i right?

[DollyDiaper]

Round of applause, well done I don't watch Bond films but wasn't it the theme tune to The Spy Who Loved me?

So, hit us with yer lyrics db!

D lly

[Sunshine2585]

Thanks db. Now I don't have to wonder about it.

[Guest diamondback688]

you are correct ma'am...that movie came out in 1977, so that makes the song pretty old...ok, here are my lyrics:

I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line

I used to think that everything was fine

Sometimes I'd like to sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams

All alone and trapped in time

All alone and trapped in time

I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me

Or am I even in it's mind at all

Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see

Styx - Crystal Ball Lyrics

Check this out:

They are persuaded by the music of the bells

They're not responsible for anything they do

(No) The people know

(No) The way to go

The bells are ringing, they hear the sound

[Guest diamondback688]

"The Bells Are Ringing" -- They Might Be Giants (my GF has one of there CDs)

try this one:

Who am I to disagree?

I travel the world

And the seven seas--

Everybody's looking for something.

Some of them want to use you

Some of them want to get used by you

[DollyDiaper]

Wow, I got one! I'm a great fan of The Eurythmics (especially Annie Lennox - love her) but I can't believe I know the title too! - Sweet Dreams are Made of This.

I'll post my contribution when db comfirms this and when I'm over the shock of getting the answer!

Said the night wind to the little lamb,

"Do you see what I see? Do you see what i see?

Way up in the sky, little lamb,

Do you see what I see? Do you see what i see?

A star, a star, dancing in the night

With a tail as big as a kite,

With a tail as big as a kit

just a suggestion given the holidays

[Guest diamondback688]

Said The Night Wind To The Little Lamb

[DollyDiaper]

Now I'm not sure which is harder, answering or asking, but here goes -

(Verse 1 and Chorus cut out, too easy )

CHORUS

The telephone is ringing

I say, "Hi, it's me. Who is it there on the line?"

A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you

Well, I guess I'm doin' fine"

He says, "It's three a.m., there's too much noise

Don't you people ever wanna go to bed?

Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have

To drive me out of my head?"

CHORUS

I was sick and tired, fed up with this

And decided to take a drive downtown

It was so very quiet and peaceful

There was nobody, not a soul around

I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream

In the morning the parking tickets were just like

A flag stuck on my window screen

Hi Dolly,

The name of that song is "Get off of my Cloud" by the Rolling Stones. A great song, if I do say so myself! Here is a song, it's a little bit sad in a way, but I'll let you be the judge.

"Oh how do you do young Willey Mcbride?"

"Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside?"

"And rest for a while in the warm summer sun."

"I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done."

"And I see by your grave stone you were only 19,"

"When you joined the great fallen in 1916."

"Well I hope you died quick and I hoped you died clean,"

"Or Willey Mcbride was it slow and obsene?"

Chorus

"Did they beat the drums slowly?"

"Did they play the fife lowly?"

"Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?"

"Did the band play the last line and chorus?"

"Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?"

"And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind?"

"To that loyal heart is your memory enshrined?"

"And though you died back in 1916 to that loyal heart your forever 19."

"Or are you a stranger without even a name?,"

"Forever enshrined behind some old glass pain."

"In an old photograph torn, tatered, and stained."

"and faded to yellow in a brown leather frame."

[D_Rainger]

"Willie Mc Bride" by Tommy Makem & Liam Clancy from "The Makem & Clancy Collection." (I like "Red is the Rose.")

Now mine - Probaby the most cult classic of all the cult classic rock tunes:

In-A-*****-Da-****, honey,

don't you know that I love you?

In-A-*****-Da-****, baby,

don't you know that I'll always be true?

Oh, won't you come with me

and take my hand?

Oh, won't you come with me

and walk this land?

Please take my hand!

(If you can believe it these are the complete lyrics. The title is contained in the first and the third lines, so I have blanked out some the words to make it a little harder.)

I still get off on the 10 minute drum solo.

Ok, NAME & ARTISTS!
