This was a band that might have been considered "Dinosaur Sr."

Rare Earth had an album cover with a bunch of cavemen on it. Survival I think.

This doesn't sound like one of theirs to me.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

T-Rex?

George

[WordWolf]

T-Rex?

George

...is not the name of the song.

You have an artist, want to take a shot at the song?

Or is this some sort of drive-by?

I know we're a bit off-road from what we normally do,

but I think you can name it.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I made my guess of the title earlier ("Vampire for Your Love"). I thought that you OKed that, so I was guessing at the artist form you "Dinosaur, Sr." clue.

George

[WordWolf]

Since you named the artist, you can have the round.

I was trying to keep dropping hints about the song title-

"JEEPSTER."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Here's a man in evening clothes

How he got here, I don't know, but

Man, you oughta see him go

Yes we are. :offtopic:/>

Isn't that name of a tune by the group ~Train~? Drive BY Ha Ha

To quote Marvin from Pulp Fiction:

Man, I don't even have an opinion!

I'm just messing with you guys.

Last hint before I throw in the towel: Sam Cooke is the artist. (I think Rod Stewart did a cover many years later.)

George

[WordWolf]

*checks*

For the record, sometime during my life I have heard this song.

However, I could not identify it even to save my life.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

All righty, then...

"Twistin' the Night Away."

FREE POST

[Human without the bean]

Here's one:

I wanna tell you about the girl I love

My she looks so fine

She's the only one I've been dreamin' of

Maybe someday she will be all mine

I want to tell her that I love her so

I thrill with her every touch

I need to tell her she's the only one I really love

[WordWolf]

I think the artist is "Led Zepellin."

A lot of the time, I can recognize songs of theirs but can't give their titles

because I have no idea about the titles.

In this case, it should make naming the song easier...if I'm correct.

[Human without the bean]

It is Led Zeppelin. I may have done this one last year. The song was the only non-album track during Led Zeppelin's career.

I really didn't know the title to the track until I started searching for it...that was a few years ago now.

Here's a couple more lines.

A got a woman, she won't be true, no no

A got a woman, wanna ball all day *[ oh my! what will the sensors do?]

I got a woman, stay drunk all the time

I got a little woman and she won't be true

( ___ ___ ____ ___ _ __)

Listen closely can you hear the name of the tune?

[Human without the bean]

I think it's gone long enough. WordWolf you got the artist right, so your up if you want it.

Hey Hey What Can I Do ~Led Zeppelin~

"Hand me down my walkin' cane, hand me down my hat.

Hurry now and don't be late 'cause we ain't got time to chat.

You and me, we're goin' out to catch the latest sounds.

Guaranteed to blow your mind so high, you won't come down, no."

[Human without the bean]

It's "Rubber Band Man" but the group escapes me right now.

You've got it.

The band was "the Spinners" ("the Detroit Spinners" for UK releases.)

That's embarrassing, ~The Spinner's~ of course.

Choose yourself a partner

From the middle of the floor

Blow a little kiss

To the woman next door

Step on the gas

Put your head in the air

make a "V" sign

And you throw back your hair

Put your hand on your hip

Now you let your back bone slip

Put out your tongue

Put your head in the air

Make a "V" sign

And you just don't care

Bragging rights if you (anyone) can get this one!

Now you feel free you gotta lose control

All Gods children got some soul

You don't have to think

you don't have to move a muscle

To do the brow beating, heavy, leather,

And you throw back your hair

Think about nothing

Now your nice and high

Your advocating love but you don't know why

Now your getting vibrations all down to your feet

That's the brow beating heavy leather

Put your hand on your hip

Now you let your back bone slip

Put out your tongue

Put your head in the air

Make a "V" sign

And you just don't care

Now you feel free you gotta lose control

Tom Jones did a cover of this 70ish song. Added more lines too.

It seems slightly familiar, but that may be that just some of the lyrics are like those of other songs.

George

[Human without the bean]

Well you did bite on it anyway, by commenting George. Usually silence is a response that means no one has a clue.

I'll give it a little while longer for now.
