If that's the case, go ahead. You don't need the performer for this thread. George (PS I could be wrong, but I think the band is the Rolling Stones. It "sounds" like Mick Jagger in my head.)

I can hear that first line, but no further... George

And I didn't recognize it, having seen the movie. George

I infer that "Firefly" and this other show were contemporary, meaning ca. 2002. Still need more help, though. George

"Quest for Fire? George

"All That Jazz Singer" FREE POST George

"A League of Their Own" You be strong, you survive... You stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you. George

The Shadow Penelope Ann Miller Other People's Money George

If Brother Speed isn't around, anyone else can jump in.

Bump. If no one gets it soon, I'll post the answer.

"Firefly"? George

It was, indeed, "The Lawrence Welk Show." Your turn. George

Good guess, but completely wrong genre. A-one, anna-two, anna-three! George

"I Am a Rock" Why do birds suddenly appear, ev'ry time you are near? George

"Piano Man" Here we come, walking down the street... (I think it was released as a single.) George

Similar to "Back to the Future," but I don't recognize this one. George

Well, I DID see "American Beauty" on cable. I wouldn't have guessed it won a "Best Picture" Academy Award, but then, its closest rival "Cider House Rules," was even MORE artsy-fartsy. :lol: George

I wasn't being harsh. I'm glad someone new is playing! It's quite possible the Bro Speed thought the song was a gimme. I'm sure there are a number of songs which I would recognize immediately but would have you scratching your head. It's ALSO possible that he didn't know the rules of the thread... George

Just a reminder: in THIS thread, the idea is to pick a song so easy that it can be recognized from a single line (generally, the first, unless it contains the title). "Name That Tune" is for more challenging entries. Of course, what may be obvious to one poster may be completely off another's radar. MY "wheelhouse" is 50's-70's rock, with some pre-2000 country. I'll get the occasional 80's+ rock tune, but not often. I suspect that WordWolf is up. George Just googled "Bat Out of Hell," which did sound familiar. It WAS 70's. But I STILL didn't recognize the song! :)

Most movies that win Best Picture are too artsy-fartsy for me. I'm not sure what was the last "Best Picture" that I actually saw. George

No, it's "The Rain, the Park, and Other Things." Bro Speed is up. George

Billy Bob Thornton Monster's Ball Halle Berry George

I remember ST:TAS, mostly from the new characters, Eryx and M'Ress. I haven't seen it in almost 40 years, though, so I don't remember any coloration problems. Anyway This was one of the longest-running TV shows in (American) history. It was originally titled, "The Dodge Dance Party." Hint: NOT "American Bandstand." George

A womanizing, substance-abusing choreographer helps a Jewish cantor break into show business. Stars Roy Scheider and Neil Diamond. George

I remember the Richard Benjamin show, probably more because of the Barnstable twins than anything else. I think it was a garbage ship. "Quark," I think. George The others don't ring a bell, but I suspect at least one of them will garner a when revealed.
