Guess the Lyrics

[fiona]

.....but just wanted to say it's good to have you on board tmac.

[jodlyn]

Great song! Every time someone posts a song here, I hear it in my mind. Thanks everyone for the playlists to download.

Okay..try this one!

There's a giant doing cartwheels,
A statue wearing high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola listening to Buck Owens.

[tmac396]

I always heard that "Buck Owens" line as "Listening to begonias"...it made as much sense as the rest of the song!

Here's one of my favorites (I say that all the time don't I?)...

I pulled intp Nazereth, was feeling about half past dead.
I just need a place where I can lay my head.
I said "Mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand..."No" was all he said...

[fiona]

Brill song.

Here's more:

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot

[dmsesquire]

Carly Simon.

Next:

"When love congeals, it soon reveals
the faint aroma of performing seals,
the double-crossing of a pair of heels..."

[jodlyn]

I remember this one from "Babes in Arms!" I love the musicals.

See if you can not only get this one but also post the lyrics...

Two shots shy of a 40 ounce quart
A hand in the pocket and a hand in her shorts
Shoot me the two and don't be slow
You've only got one good way to go

[tmac396]

...that lil' rock and roll band from Texas. Good one Jody! Let's see how far back you guys go...

The sun is out
The sky is blue
There's not a cloud
To spoil the view...

[fiona]

Further back than I care to remember Did get the best in music though which was the bonus!

Try this song:

If you’re down and confused,
and you don’t remember who you’re talkin’ to
Concentration slips away,
‘cause your baby is so far away.

[tmac396]

...by Crosby Stills Nash and Young. Good one, Fee. Try this one...

Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven

[jodlyn]

Good one..it took me a while. Ahhh Pete and his opera writing.

Btw..did you know it has one of the most misheard lyrics of all time? Most people think these phrases:

A.

A teenage wasteland

B.

Teenage wasteland...We're all wasted.

are:

A.

A teenage waistline...

B.

Teenage spacemen... We're all spacemen.

Whoops..forgot the lyrics to guess! Try this one!



Long as there is chicken gravy on your rice, ev'rything is nice;
Long as there's a watermelon on the vine, ever'thing is fine.
You've got no time to work, no time to play,
Busy doin' nothin' all the live long day;

[fiona]

by the the wonderful Hoagy Carmichael and Johnny Mercer.

How about these ones:

Song:

How's the weather,
whether or not we're together,
Together we'll see it much better

[tmac396]

Another good one, Fee. I had that going through my head all morning befiore I finally came up with it. Heres another:

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And most times you choose between the two
Wonderin', wonderin' if you have made it

[jodlyn]

It's the only thing I can think of.

Good job on the stumping.

Nezt up:

Now they are two and I am one.
I cannot fall in love with everyone.
So I must choose between the two.
Made up my mind, now I am choosing you.

[fiona]

You're all such a force to be reckoned with on here it's a challenge to make sure they're not too easy.

Try these:

Well I was there and I saw what you did
saw it with my own two eyes
so you can wipe off that grin
I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

[jodlyn]

I love that song! *Sigh*

You're all such a force to be reckoned with on here it's a challenge to make sure they're not too easy.

Yeah..sureeee! You got it in like...1 minute?
