Doh!! I can't believe you beat me to the punch Tara, hehehe.....

side note, I love Hootie too!! Saw them two weeks ago and am still very blown away by their performance!! Was a phenomenal show!

Sensei, see Tara's last post for the new song pick from her..... ;)

[dwayne]

:( I've never seen them live... but I've seen the Counting Crows a few times, and sat right up front for one show... I love the CC's better than Hootie...

I'm still working on your song... I have a feeling it's going to be one of those D'oh songs, heheh!

~Tara

YESSSS!! I've got it!

Bon Jovi - Some day I'll be saturday night

Hehe, just lucky, I hapened to be thinkin' of Bon Jovi. Hmmmm, too many high school slow dances from that Crossroads album

Theme from The Monkees - The Monkees




They met on the battlefield banner in hand.
They looked out across the vacant land.
And they counted the missing, one upon one,
None upon none.
The war it was over before it begun.

Zor and Zam - The Monkees


Well there's a young man in a t-shirt
Listenin' to a rockin' rollin' station
He's got ah greasy hair, greasy smile

Said, "Boy you're gonna be president."
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went

I flicked over to muchmusic on a commercial break yesterday and she was performing it live. It was terrible!:eek: I don't know if she was just having an off day, but she was too fast and off key.

Oh, right, my turn:

I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny,
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny,
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me,

Your turn to be going with themes today, huh Dangerdoll? ;) Another ex-Eagle, Glen Frey with You Belong to the City.

Joey Walsh ;) - Life's Been Good (hehehe, you know me well Sensei!)

let's see where I can go from here.....

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time,
Tattoos and memories of skin on trial
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

[dwayne]

time of your life (don't know the artist...)

I’ve been workin in this factory
From now on fifteen years
All this time I watched my woman
Drowning in a pool of tears
And I’ve seen a lot of good folk die
Who had a lot of bills to pay

(was wondering where you were Tara ;), at any rate, it's Green Day)


yours is:
Take This Job and Shove it - Johnny Paycheck

song retracted because of mistake in sensei's

[dwayne]

Come Dancin, the Kinks!

I'm here Dangerdoll! Though I'm leaving shortly for the long weekend, and I don't really get on the computer at home. But you know, I really can't believe I've been participating in this game so much the past few days - I'm amazed at some of the songs I've guessed (and asked Dad for help wtih) :)

As I am strolling down the garden path,
I saw a flower glowing in the dark.
It looked so pretty and it was unique;
I had to bend down just to have a peek.

~Tara

[dwayne]

:)
I'll let it slide... hehe!

Sensei, good pick, btw... I love that song. Don't be afraid to come dancing, it's only natural!

:D

~Tara

[Dangerdoll]

Hello Old Friend - Eric Clapton

These people round here
Thank god they Sunk in smoke dried faces
They're sown to what their fate is
But not us (no never), no not us (no never)
We are far too young and clever
Remember!

Tara, have a great weekend then sweetie!! Enjoy the holiday and be safe ;)

I won't be around much (if at all) either, going to PA to a cabin in the woods for some R&R... I'm hoping to get some good fishing in :D... Leaving tomorrow morning sometime with the dog, we're gonna have a blast!!

[dwayne]

:D
I'm here for another 2 1/2 hours... we're just hanging close to home this weekend... I don't care for goign to far on holiday weekends. We'll be going down to my mother in laws to watch the fireworks from her roof on Sunday and to a cookout at a friend's tomorrow night. A weekend on the lake sounds like fun!

(I don't know your song - sensei probably will!)

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Come On Eileen - Dexies Midnight Runners


Alright, if you're gonna go with a one-hit-wonder, try this one on for size. ;)



Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never, ever wait again
You gave me your word, but words for you are lies
Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know....oh,

[Dangerdoll]

Harden My Heart - ummmmm..... I forget who did it but something to do with Flash.... right?

try this one:

Baby, she turns out to be a natural freak
Popping pills and smoking weed
And when she's sweet sixteen she packs her things and leaves
With a man she met on the street
Carmen starts to bawl, bangs her head to the wall
Too much love is worse than none at all

[dwayne]

DD ~ can you give us a clue?

~Tara

[Dangerdoll]

ok, the song was recorded and signed in 1978 and released in 79......... the song was a club hit and considered a cult classic and was considered "disco" but the band wasn't solely a "disco" band.

:D

here's another part....
Poppy and the family left the dirty streets
to find a quiet place overseas
and year after year, the kid has to hear
the do's, the don'ts and the dear's...
and when she's 10 year's old,
she digs that rock and roll
but Poppy bans it from the home

[Lila]

Papa was a rolling stone? If I'm right, let me know and I'll think of a lyric.

If not, just love me anyway and let me post a lyric!

;)

Lila

[Dangerdoll]

nope, it's not it but I do love ya girl! ;)

hmmmmmm.......what happens if no one get's my song? Sensei... since you're pretty much the guru to this thread......?

[Sensei_the_dojo]

I guess you'll get another pointy hat (crown) to wear.

Just think, you'd be AC's reigning Smilie, and Music Trivia Queen!

Of course, with that kind of notoriety you'd probably get all snobbish and no longer consort with the rest of us rabble. Probably go off and start your own elitist forum board and not even invite us (well, maybe Tyler718). The rest of us would be left here catching an occasional laugh from something GEL finds in her e-mail box, or pondering another of 125gJoe's alien posts. But that's alright. We'll survive.

So go ahead. Win the darn game. See if care. :sad :sad :sad

[Dangerdoll]

well, the idea is tempting (especially the Tyler part) but the reality of it is, this is your thread Sensei ;) you've been running it far longer than me and I wouldn't take that from you....I just stumped the group....... and how could I leave this forum, especially with a GCC as rocking as this :D .....

....now, what's my song?

[dwayne]

I say, let's cry UNCLE! and pass on this song... it's been stuck for 6 days now!

:)

Your call DD...

~Tara

[Dangerdoll]

ok Tara..... Sensei, you sure you want to move forward? Shall I come clean with it?

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Go for it kid. ;)

[Dangerdoll]

ok, the song sparked some controversy around these parts because of the lyrics and have been changed slightly to cut out the racial ideas they present.... another FCC thing. The song is on the soundtrack of the Summer of Sam..... it is a sad song that has a mountain of a meaning in my opinion, and for that reason is still one of my favorites:

Machines - There But for the Grace of God

Carlos and Carmen Vidal just had a child
A lovely girl with a crooked smile...
Now they gotta split 'cause the Bronx ain't fit
For a kid to grow up in....
Let's find a place they say, somewhere far away
With no blacks, no Jews and no gays!

There but for the grace of God... go I

Poppy and the family left the dirty streets
To find a quiet place overseas.....
And year after year the kid has to hear
The do's the don'ts and the dears.....
And when she's ten years old she digs that rock 'n' roll
But Poppy bans it from home!

There but for the grace of God... go I

Baby, she turns out to be a natural freak
Popping pills and smoking weed....
And when she's sweet sixteen
she packs her things and leaves...
With a man she met on the street...

Carmen starts to bawl, bangs her head to the wall
Too much love is worse than none at all!

There but for the grace of God... go I

I don't know who should go though, Tara or Lila.... ;)

[Sensei_the_dojo]

I think the ball's still in your court Dangerdoll. Go ahead and hit us with another one.

[Dangerdoll]

ok, here's another..... again a favorite.... I'm thinking a one hit wonder though...

Hot steamy night alone
I wait for you...
Cold brittle morning alone
And I cry for you...
And when you finally call,
You cloak your moves in the shadows...

[Dangerdoll]

come on...... I can't stump you guys twice in a row....

[dwayne]

crickets cheeping


~Tara

[Dangerdoll]

come on, Sensei, you don't know either?? anyone????

LOVE your crown, DD!!!

:(

Is this thread dead (hehe, that rhymes) now that DD's been crowned? Or shall we mere pions continue the game?

ps, jacblades ~ Like Sensei, I too got tired of googling the lyrics... and more often than not, once I found the lyrics, someone had already posted the answer!!

~Tara

[Dangerdoll]

hehehe, thanks Tara, it's new ;)

I'm game :D

[dwayne]

:dance: :cool:

I'll post this one...

Then all at once, he was standing there,
So sure of himself, his head in the air.
My heart was breaking, which one would it be?
You turned around and walked away with me.

Running Scared - Roy Orbison.



Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married...just you wait and see.

Sensei ~ I can hear the song in my head, but can't think of anything past the lyrics you posted!! D'oh!......

Girlfriend - Matthew Sweet



From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel
Mm-mm, you can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell

[dwayne]

Under the boardwalk... the Drifters

I don't want to be held in your debt.
I'll pay it off in blood let I be wed.
I'm already cut up and half dead.
I'll end up alone like I began.

~Tara

[Sensei_the_dojo]

I saw the Drifters, the Platters and the Temptations in concert last Friday night. Really fun show. :cool:

[Dangerdoll]

sounds like a cool show Sensei.... :cool:

[Sensei_the_dojo]

It was very cool. I'm sure that there's not too many original members in any of those bands, but they still all put on great shows. The "Roswell Incident" occurred in early July of 1947, so the city goes all out with a combination Independence Day/UFO Incident festival and tries to have something to please everybody.

In addition to the above mentioned Friday night "oldies" show, there was a Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Lacy J. Dalton show on Saturday, and a free Tex-Mex concert followed by fireworks on Sunday.

That's all in addition to a parade, alien costume contest, "alien run" races, etc. For this part of the country it's a pretty neat event.

[dwayne]

That festival sounds like a blast Sensei!! :cool:

I'm leaving now for the weekend... leaving my lyrics to be figured out...

Someone should get it I'm sure...

Have a safe weekend all!

~Tara

[dwayne]

Anyone ???

Hint: the name of the song is a type of fabric...

~Tara

[Dangerdoll]

This must be Corduroy :D - By Pearl Jam
good one T ;)

Lullabies, look in your eyes, run around the same ol' town,
Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you,
I've been first and last, look at how the time goes past,
but I'm all alone at last, rolling home to you...

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Old Man - Neil Young

(Why does his voice always remind me of Kermitt the Frog?)

Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats are naugh-ga-hyde.
I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide.
The being known as Wonder Girl is speaking, I believe.
It's not easy tryin' to tell her that I shortly have to leave.

This is going back about a week, but wanted to confirm that one-hit-wonder band that recorded Harden My Heart was indeed something to do with Flash. The band was Quarterflash. I remember seeing them open for Elton John before everyone knew that Quarterflash was just a flash in the pan. ;)

The lyrics in my latest offering are from a band that we've already heard from twice in the game.

[Dangerdoll]

hehehe, yaaaay me!! ;)

hmmmm..... now onto your song, nice clue dropping there bud! ;) but I also don't remember reading any Monkees songs..... is this thread really this long??

The Monkees - Randy Scouse Git <sp?>

just like a paperback novel,
the kind that drug stores sell...
when you reach the part, where the heartache comes...
the hero would be me, but hero's often fail

[happychem]

There was Hey, hey we're the monkey's a while back.

Rolling Down the Highway, BTO

Takes through the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind

~Tara

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac (awesome choice Tara)




Every once in a while I'd see her smile
And she'd turn my day around
A girl with those eyes
Could stare through the lies
And see what your heart was saying

[Dangerdoll]

Think of Laura - Christopher Cross

This time you've got nothing to lose.
You can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose.
I won't hold back anything and I'll walk a way a fool or a king.
Some love is just a lie of the mind.
It's make believe until its only a matter of time.

[dwayne]

Matter of Trust, Billy Joel

(Thanks Sensei!!)

Remember them basement parties
your brother’s karate
The all day rock and roll shows
The homesick blues and radical views
Haven’t left a mark on you

~Tara

[Sensei_the_dojo]

A Matter of Trust - Billy Joel

By the way, music trivia buffs, Christopher Cross wrote "Think of Laura" in honor of a young woman he met at the Eastover Estate resort in Lenox, Massachusetts. My maternal grandfather grew up on the estate as his father was the estate's caretaker.

Here's my next offering.

Oh, fun ain't easy if it ain't free
Too many people got a hold on me
But i know something that they don't know
I know a woman in New Mexico

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Dang it Tara! You beat me!!!!!

I'll withdraw my offering . . . for now.

[Sensei_the_dojo]

You Wear It Well - Rod Stewart

Back to my original offering.

Oh, fun ain't easy if it ain't free
Too many people got a hold on me
But i know something that they don't know
I know a woman in New Mexico

[Dangerdoll]

whoa did this spin my head, hehehe..... need to recover LOL :D :laugh: :D

[dwayne]

Haha, Sensei, we're quick today... I was just going to tell you that I could answer your offering ...

Worse Comes to Worst, Billy Joel - You really reached down into the Joel vault for that one... I haven't heard that in probably 5 or 6 years!!


Eat meat on friday that’s alright
Even like steak on a saturday night
I can b!tch the best at your social do’s
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue

edited for a swear word that I didn't think was a swear word, considering pissed is used in a thread title in general freshwater!!

~Tara

[Dangerdoll]

Elton John - B*tch is Back.... excellent one Tara!!

Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played.
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid.
Even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you,
all the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude.

[happychem]

More Elton, eh, DD? Elton John - Candle in the Wind

Here's a personal fav.

Well I woke up this morning
On the wrong side of the bed,
And how I got to thinkin'
About all those things you said.

[dwayne]

Dang! Happychem beat me!!

Eat the Rich - Aerosmith (I'm breaking out that CD when I get home, thanks Happy!!)

Circus life, under the big top world
We all need the clowns to make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
lost without you

~Tara

edit: DD!!! I just noticed your new signature.... very cool!

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Faithfully - Journey (One of my wife's favorite bands - I'd swear Tara's been poking around our CD jukebox) ;)


Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.

[Dangerdoll]

Warrant - Surrender (today is full of goodies)

One of these early mornings, oh, you gonna be wiping your weeping eyes.
I bought you a brand new mustang 'bout nineteen sixty five
Now you come around signifying a woman, you don't wanna let me ride.

[dwayne]

Mustang Sally, by Wilson Pickett!!!


Sensei... I LOVE journey!! They are the Ultimate Make Out Band! ;)


A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted wings and giants's rings make way for other toys.


~Tara

[Sensei_the_dojo]

I've never heard the Warrant version, I'm only familiar with Cheap Trick's version, but, ok.

Yours is Mustang Sally and it's been recorded by a bunch of groups. I even heard it at the oldies concert I mentioned earlier in the thread.

Here's my offering.

Not long now till the ultimate experiment
He's breaking all the rules
He wants to cure all matter of imbalance
In this world of fools

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Dang it Tara, you done did it again. :eek:

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Yours is Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter Paul and Mary. Now see if you can get mine.

[dwayne]

Dr. Heckell and Mr. Jive - Men At Work

(I hate this band with a passion... my hubby loves them though, that's the only way that I'd know this song!!!)

The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail



~Tara

[Dangerdoll]

Rock the Casbah - The Clash (hehehe, I uded to love them too)


The powers that be that force us to live like we do
bring me to my knees when I see what they've done to you
but I'll die as I stand here today, knowing that deep in my heart
they'll fall to ruin one day for making us part.

My husband and I got married in Las Vegas, July 1999... guess who we saw at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino the night we got married... yep, the Pretenders. They were very good, and we were very close to the stage (2nd row), so my husband was in heaven (he loves Chrissy hynde (sp))... I, on the other hand, was not too thrilled to go to see the Pretenders on the night of my wedding, but I figured what the heck... they didn't sing the only other song that I know by them though - I don't know the name of it, but it goes "Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs, gonna use my style" blah blah blah... so needless to say I was a little disappointed. But considering that I only knew 2 of their songs, it was a good show.
story time over, hehe!

My new offering:

The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free

Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen



She was the color of the Indian summer
And we shared the hours without number
Until one day when the sky turned dark
And the winds grew wild

Thunder Island by Jay Ferber (???)... I have the Miracle soundtrack (at home) and it's on there....

Thursday morning was a hot flash factor
her face still focused in my mind
Test-strip proof-sheet love is hard to find
Friday night we'll dance the spotlight grind

Thunder Island, but by Jay Ferguson.

I'd like to break in (although I thought this game was over pages ago) but you certainly knew the song, so I guess it's still yours Dwayne.

Thanks Val!!! Yeah, I have the cd at home, and could picture the names listed on the back, but just guessed on his last name!

Take a stab at mine if you want... Music lives on here at AC, haha! :)

Freeze Frame - J. Geils Band



Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise a little sand
