songs remembered from just one line

[Human without the bean]

For the record I did have Dolly Parton's song in mind. So is it my turn?

Yes. Go ahead!

[Human without the bean]

OK.

Well since she put me down i've been out doin' in my head

[bowtwi]

Help Me, Rhonda! The Beach Boys

Help Me, Rhonda! The Beach Boys

Oh, she may be weary

[soul searcher]

Oh, she may be weary

Young girls they do get weary

Try a Little Tenderness -- the definitive version (IMO) was by Otis Redding

Yes, that's the version I had in mind, too!

Your turn!

"There are some things you can't cover up

With lipstick and powder"

"Thought I heard you mention my name

Can't you talk any louder?"

[soul searcher]

I guess this is going to take more than one line...

There are some things you can't cover up

With lipstick and powder

Thought I heard you mention my name

Can't you talk any louder?

Don't come any closer

Don't come any nearer

My vision of you

Can't get any clearer

Nope---doesn't sound familiar.

[soul searcher]

I think I posted this recently...

[Human without the bean]

Nope---doesn't sound familiar.

I agree with waysider, soul searcher. That song doesn't sound at all familiar. Who is Dave Edmunds? His name only is vaguely familiar. Cars? And who is or what is Rockpile? Ok so I checked Wikipedia, and seems Dave was part of the ~The Human Beinz~.among others, had some hits in the 70's but is mostly Punk or New Wave.

By the way, this is the thread titled Songs remembered from just one line. Now had you used one of Dave Edmunds hits from the 70's like*//////////////////////////////////////////// "Nobody But Me" you might of had a shot here.

Anyway its your turn soul searcher.

Looking again at the title of this thread it occurs to me that I don't know what "everyone knows so well", I just know what I know well.

So, just for the fun of it, I'm going to make my posts a little bit tougher (and turn some of you on to New Wave music at the same time).

Here we go...

I know a girl from a lonely street

Cold as ice cream but still as sweet

I would suggest "Name that Tune" if you're trying to stump people. In this thread, the burden is on the poster to pick songs that at least a large percent of the viewers here will recognize from the first line.

Ahh, never mind. Here it is. Enjoy...

Ah the magic of You Tube. :)

I've been thinking about our fortune

And I've decided that were really not to blame

Gee's, I added one more line but I don't want to give it away!

In the words of our "illustrious" President,

LET ME BE CLEAR.

This

thread

is for

songs

EASILY RECOGNIZABLE

from the

FIRST LINE

UNLESS

the first line

contains

the title.

you are

SUPPOSED TO

"GIVE IT AWAY."

And it's Bush's fault.

George

[Human without the bean]

I'll try another line from the song

Listen to the tide slowing turning

Wash your heartaches away

Were part of the fire that is burning

And from the ashes we can build another day

Timothy Leary's dead!

[Human without the bean]

Now were talking!

Legend of a mind

Why do we never get an answer

[WordWolf]

That's another "Moody Blues." Is it "Question?"

[Human without the bean]

yes.
