Name That Tune

Post Reply New Topic

Not an original idea. Some people have been making song references and SB2, darn, SB2, darn, I lost the squared, anyway, suggested a thread- here it is.

Give song lyrics... game is to guess the song, and post new lyrics.
Here goes:


"and it helps you on your way, gets you through your busy day"

can you give hints for really obscure songs, like what decade it's from? Or what genre?

Do whatever you may...

If that is asking for a hint, it's the same artist as the songs that inspired the thread. Now I don't remember where. Should I say? How easy/hard should this be? Well lets get started anyway. They (the artists) gather no moss. Maybe stating the genre is a good idea. Classic rock.

so:

classic rock: "and it helps you on your way, gets you through your busy day"

Mother's Little Helper?

"I've seen the needle take another man"

Yes!

Neil Young, one of my favorites. "Needle and the Damage Done"


"...take a look at my life I'm a lot like you"

Ha Ha: "Old Man" by Neil Young

"I ride my bike I roller skate don't drive my car..."

ok I had to cheat- Deanna Carter?

SB2

this was for you

where are you?

"I go down down down, the flame's getting higher"

Ring of Fire (Jonny cash I think)

"How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad?"

Barenaked Ladies - One Week

Nope - Melanie - Brand New Key

And there isn't one for me to guess, so I'll go with a 90's tune:
"Twenty-five years of my life is still trying to get up this great big hill..."

What's Up- Four blondes (I had to cheat)

"I dream of rain, I dream of gardens in the desert sand"

Maybe we should make this a little easier so people don't have to cheat
Cuz it's really hard for me too!
How about if there's an association between the last song and the next one, like the picture thing. What do you guys think?

Sounds good. You can cheat on the one I did, then go from there, then? Like one of the same words in the title or by the same artist or something- or just give a hint. ((Mine was unassociated)) or maybe just make an "if you don't know it, don't google it" rule.

ok, I had to google it: Sting, Desert Rose

Word association:

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

oh excellent song

America - Horse With No Name

And I didn't cheat, I play that song all the time


But at night it’s a different world
Go out and find the girl
Come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be allright
And baby don’t you know that you forget it
The day can be like the night
