songs remembered from just one line

OK...This is kind of obscure, but when the guys I hung out with first heard this song, this line became sort of a catch phrase. So, I'm hoping someone else had the same reaction to this line, which is spoken as an aside, and recognizes it, as well.

"Elmore James got nothin' on this, baby!"

Well, its beatles isn't it! Let It Be album. For You Blue. I've always thought it was a reference from George telling John how well he plays the guitar on this song.

Whew! What a relief to know I'm not a nut case for latching onto that line.

Now, what I find ironic is that George delivers the line, but it's John who's playing the slide part. (Elmore's specialty.)

Tom Petty Free Falling.

One of the best scenes from Jerry Maquire was when Jerry (Tom Cruise) found that song on the radio and sang it to celebrate the "signing" of his first client.

Okay, here's the next clue. It may be semi obscure. Not sure how big a hit it was, but it's been running through my head for about a week now, so...

I'm a bookkeeper's son

I don't want to shoot no one

Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon

Don't Take Me Alive! (Steely Dan)

great song

I think this song is somewhat less obscure...

"While the music played you worked by candlelight"

I will only say, unbelievable nobody got this! Unless of course everybody is on vacation and hasn't seen it! Or maybe you were born after 1970.

Listen to the music playing in your head. Yeah! FREE POST!

It's best not to use a lyric with the title in it...

"Strawberry Fields Forever"

Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone

George

You may want to brush up on your beatles. That was not Strawberry Fields. So any one know the song?
