Guess The Song

by Legend Tue Jul 19, 2011 6:52 am

First topic message reminder :

How to Play
-- The first person (that would be I) must post a line or two from a song of their choosing.
-- Everyone elses' job is to try and work out which song it is originated from by posting on this thread.
-- once the questioner has confirmed a correct answer, the person who correctly guessed the song first them gets the opportunity to post a line of their own choosing...

Rules
-- The line must be easily recognisable from one particular song; not something that could be from any one of a number of songs.
-- Try to keep them amusing and original in order to keep the fun rolling.

Le's go!

Black car drives through the town,
Some guy from the top estate
Left a note for a local girl,
And yet he had it all on a plate

Husband don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
She can't say, they can't see, putting it down to another bad day
So this .................

by Luckless Pedestrian Wed Aug 28, 2013 6:57 pm

It's not ringing any bells with me either, but I'm going to guess it's Pink because all she does is sing about herself!

by **Pal Joey** Mon Oct 14, 2013 8:17 pm

Having trouble with that one?

It was a huge hit here in 1975... major star sung duo on it. Really cool flute solo. Whistle

by **Kenny** Tue Oct 15, 2013 9:09 am

by **Pal Joey** Tue Oct 15, 2013 6:51 pm

His career has spanned 55 years... still going today.
Co-wrote many songs including "Love Will Keep Us Together" for The Captain and Tennille. Was a judge on American Idol in 2003.

by **Kenny** Tue Oct 15, 2013 10:30 pm

Paula Abdul or Randy Jackson ?

by **Pal Joey** Thu Oct 17, 2013 6:38 am

No and No.
He wrote "Oh, Carol" and had a hits with "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" and "Laughter in the Rain"

by **JuliusHMarx** Thu Oct 17, 2013 8:24 am

Neil Sedaka - don't know the song

by **Pal Joey** Thu Oct 17, 2013 6:34 pm

Correct. "Bad Blood" is the song.

When the dirt is off?"

by littleswannygirl Fri Oct 25, 2013 10:59 am

It's taken me ages to figure out this one but it's Echo and the Bunnymen isn't it?

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri Oct 25, 2013 7:24 pm

Yes it is - which song?

by littleswannygirl Fri Nov 29, 2013 7:48 am

Julius, I forgot all about this! My moment of inspiration was so brief I didn't retain it!

It's The Cutter isn't it?

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue Dec 24, 2013 3:09 am

Yes - the Cutter.

Does anyone want to set a new one?

by **Pal Joey** Tue Dec 24, 2013 9:35 am

Lawyers' fees and agents' commission,
Everybody's waitin' to be fed.
Uncle Sam is right there beside you,
Come on boy, ya got to make the bread.

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri Feb 07, 2014 12:38 am

Clue?

by **Pal Joey** Fri Feb 07, 2014 10:52 pm

The name of the song is a "US town, US State". Early 70s rock/folk/country sound.

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue Feb 25, 2014 2:02 am

The Eagles? Lynard Skynard?

by Rowley Tue Feb 25, 2014 3:33 am

I believe that is Wheeling West Virginia, which is unfortunate as I have to admit to knowing a Neil Sedaka song.

by **Pal Joey** Fri Mar 28, 2014 11:01 pm

Yes, that's correct Rowley. That one and Bad Blood are the only ones I know... Wink

Apologies for the delay in getting back to your reply.
