New Song: Tough One:
"Well I missed you Honey, A little more everyday"

"Fool For You" -- Foreigner

(FYI, I have limited knowledge of Journey and Foreigner, all of which is due to Chris Q.)

Here are two, by different artists, because the second one is pretty obscure. Actually, I guess the first one might also be considered obscure by some.

1.) "If I could hold you just one time..."

2.) But it ain't what you do, it's the way how it's done."

Chris and I used to play that song in a cover band at the Bridge Resterant .

e, I think you've stumped us.

I'm going to add one...been in my head today:

"Some dance to remember, some dance to forget..."

Okay, the first song that popped in my head was "Safety Dance". Remember that one? Except, I only recently learned that that song is not about dancing at all!!! My little brother informed me it is about something entirely different.

Then I realized it's "Hotel California"

These lyrics are a little more recent:

"Thirty notes in the mail box, will tell you that I'm coming home"

Oops...sorry...

That first one up there is a line from "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by JJ Cale. It was on his Grasshopper album.

The second one is pretty obscure, I'll admit. I've just always liked that line so much that I wanted to throw it out there anyway.

It's from a song called "Mighty Good Time." The song was written by Eddie Hinton and performed by a group called Smith, Perkins, & Smith. If you've ever heard of SPS, I'll be mighty surprised. That one was cut at MSS in the early 70s.

Recent may answer why I don't recognize them...I really need to update my music selections a little. Another line maybe?

Next few lines:

and I think I'm gonna stick around
for a while so you're not alone

If you can hear a piano fall
you can hear me coming down the hall
if I could just hear your pretty voice
I don't think I need to see at all

Well, you've stumped us mandomama. But here's another to chew on:

"Too late, my time has come..."

Queen! "Bohemian Rhapsody"

If only for the monkey reference, try this one. It's from a semi-obscure song by a very well-known singer. Great song. Here's your line:

"I ain't no monkey but I know what I like."

Bob Dylan "Buckets of Rain" (I can never quite hate to hear this man sing due to his writing ability - it's a love/hate relationship )

Here's another one:

"Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done..."

"House of the Rising Sun" -- The Animals, and Dylan, too.

How about this one, from a song (and album) recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound:

"I had a woman down in Alabama"

That song above is from The White Stripes... Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground, also covered by Chris Thile and the How to Grow a Woman from the Ground Up Band. Both incredible bands!!

"Cheap Sunglasses" -- ZZ Top

Here you go...

"And I've got one more silver dollar..."

I thought that was an Allman Bros. song... ??

It's a 2-fer:

1. "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"

2. "Take your protein pills and put your helmet on..."

Peace,

You got it. (The "Cheap Sunglasses" reference was my answer to another poster's line; sorry I didn't include it there for clarity.)

The "silver dollar" line was my own question. ABB. Which song?

The answers to yours:

1.) "Hotel California" - the Eagles

2.) "Space Oddity"!!! - Bowie. That's a song that some people might tell you I may have listened to one too many times back in the day.

"Movie stars are cruisin' on Woodward Avenue..."

Does anyone know if that was written about our Woodward or the one in Detroit?

FV, you may have stumped us again...

Here's a new one...

"She's gone too far,
She's lost the sun"

She's Come Undone - Guess Who

This one's easy:
"She blew my nose and then she blew my mind"

Honky Tonk Woman - Rolling Stones

Here's a fun one maybe:

"I ain't gonna do you wrong while you're gone..."

Respect - Aretha Franklin

How about this one:
"Take the sheet off your face boy
It's a brand new day"

"Respect Yourself" - Staples Singers

Here's another, similar to the last one in one way.

"You know I can't let you slide through my hands."

Horizontal Bop by Bob Segar. I'd still like to know which Woodward...

WILD HORSES-ROLLING STONES

"MY SHAVING RAZOR'S COLD, AND IT STINGS..."

"Daydream Believer"

Here's another:

"I want you to know I believe in your song"

Dobie Gray - (and most recently Uncle Cracker)

"Drift Away"

Okay, here's a new one:

"See the kids just getting out of school,
They can't wait to hang out and be cool."

"We Got the Beat" by the Go Gos.

New one: "Hearts of fire,
Streets of stone,
Modern warriors,
Saddle iron horses of chrome."

POISON-RIDE THE WIND

"THEY STAB IT WITH THEIR STEELY KNIVES, BUT THEY JUST CAN'T KILL THE BEAST"

Hotel California by the Eagles--think some of them also wrote it.

"That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight."

REM - "Losing My Religion"

Well, I'll do one.
"Baby, I get so scared at times
and I don't really understand,
Is it love that's on my mind or
is it fantasy?"

Something by Lita Ford?
