Name that tune - Rock on!

_Joy__Joy_Old Faithful
Well, hope you don't mind, Blues Man, but after seen all the rock heads (haha, just kidding) in an undisclosed news thread, I thought I'd start one of these for rock music...any flavor...soft rock, Southern Rock (woohoo), heavy metal, rockabilly, grunge, alternative, hard rock, etc. Rock on!

Here's the best song ever made of course:

"Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers"

Nah. Not if you're into Simon & Garfunkel! Smiler

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine....

That would be Scarborough Fair.

See above for the last one I threw out. If nobody gets it, I'll try another one.

Yep. Released June 1, 1967. Smiler


Cool. I'll have to tell my husband that. He loves the Beatles - who doesn't, right? Anybody know this one?........

"You've been hiding, never letting it show..."


One more line:
"Always trying to keep it under control"

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. Eeker Eeker Eeker

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"

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

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


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. Smiler

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.
E eHall of Famer
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.

Nobody got this yet?

"You might not be looking for the promised land,
but you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names
Like New Orleans (New Orleans)
Detroit City (Detroit City), Dallas (Dallas)
Pittsburg P.A. (Pittsburg P.A.),
New York City (New York City)
Kansas City (Kansas City),
Atlanta (Atlanta), Chicago and L.A."

To the left and to the right, buildings towering
to the sky,
Its outta sight, in the dead of night"

Okay, "New York Groove" by Ace Frehley.

Try this: "Ricky was a young boy,

Lived nine to five,
And he worked his fingers to the bone

Thanks! I'm currently working on a new site with my own domain and such, it's gonna be fresh and hot! So check back for updates... Smiler

About the song, most people have heard it but don't realize what the name is or who sings it... I've added it to my site as background music. I guess you could say it's been my signature song. For a very long time I might add.

It's a little tough, so I'm giving it away...

Here's one for ya'll to try and figure out, it's a little more well known.

"Dig if you will the picture, of you and I engaged in a kiss"

Grateful Dead - Truckin'

Here's ya one... my all time favorite song!

The job is done and I go out
Another boring day
I leave it all behind me now
So many worlds away


okay, i had to really work for this one, but is it something like Living in a Spiritualized World by the Scorpions?
MonicaParisMonicaParisEverybody Knows My Name
Close, but if I give you the next verse I'll give it away, so I'll tell ya....

Scorpions - The Zoo

Good guess! Check it on 'My Site' Link Smiler


Just Wondering 31 got the last one I posted! *high five*

Here's another one for ya'll... this one is a bit more current:

My life is brilliant
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
outspokenjerkoutspokenjerkHall of Famer
James Blunt - "You're Beautiful"

But I can't rightly say "Rock on" to that. Makes me feel weird. He is not rock. No offense, Monica. I mean no disrespect. Good song, wrong genre. Good job on the Scorpions song. Try this:

"Fallen angel, ripped and bruised,
Think of better days,
Life is rude, treats you bad,
Tears your wings away,
Raise your eyes to star and sky,
Believe in fly aways,
Take your dreams, your broken schemes,
And sweep the past away."
MonicaParisMonicaParisEverybody Knows My Name
No offense taken... my music taste ranges all the way across the board, I'm very versatile that way.

The answer to your song is:
"Great White - The Angel"

Try this one on for size:

Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper light on his feet
A young fighter screaming with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger cant see a way out
It aint much Im asking I heard him say
Gotta find me a future move out of my way

Definitely a bit more on the *rock on* track!
outspokenjerkoutspokenjerkHall of Famer
Well, this was a breeze for me. This is from one of my fav bands and it is my fav song by them. Queen - "I want it all". And good job on Great White's "The Angel Song". And yeah, my tastes range across the board, too.

Well, here's another:
"Hello my friend,
It sure has been a while,
I don't know where the time has gone,
But I really miss your smile,
It's been too long."
MonicaParisMonicaParisEverybody Knows My Name
Haven't heard that song in forever... took a little research to be sure of the name, but here you go!

Nelson - Only time will tell

Video located here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3C49PuLO0I

Trying not too make these too hard so more will play!

Here's another one:

"I'm young I know but even so
I know a thing or two I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot
really learned a lot.
Love is like a stove
burns you when it's hot."
MonicaParisMonicaParisEverybody Knows My Name
OMG I loved that song, I'll have to listen to it now... Good one!

Here's another for ya:

I used to be now I'm not what you see, Lord I try
And now it seems all those dreams have come true, but they're passing me by
Some fast talkin' mama for a dollar put a smile on my face
I'm drivin' all night
I end up in the same old place
MonicaParisMonicaParisEverybody Knows My Name
When the children cry
Let 'em know we tried
Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins

White Lion - When the children cry... my bad, not enough coffee yet... it is White Lion, I stand corrected.

Very touching....

Try this:

If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand

Slaughter - Spend my life

That one was a little tough! Here's another toughie...

"The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
Its the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark"
PB Peace BrotherHall of Famer
Anyone remember this great classic?

So now I'm praying for the end of time / To hurry up and arrive / 'cause if I got to spend another minute with you I don't think that I can really survive/ I'll never break my promise / Or forget my vow / But God only knows what I can do right now/ Praying for the end of time / It's all that I can do! / Praying for the end of time / So I can end my time with you!

That's my favorite Meat Loaf classic: Paradise on the Dashboard Lights!

New One: Day after day, alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still.
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool.
And he never gives an answer ..... ??

Give it some love, some day it may be you" ?
