doojable Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Just FYI,I could have gotten it from the 3pm post, but I wasn't logged in until about 12 hours later and you'd already voided the clue... Sorry WW - but it had been nearly a day and a half - and I figured I was ticking folks off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

now I see Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 This is a guess, "Once Upon  Time"?  I don't know the title or who sung it...anyone else know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordWolf Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 In the interest of moving this along, I'll cede the turn, since that's the closest I'm getting to a correct answer. The song is Willy deVille's "Storybook Love". IIRC, it was covered by Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits) at the end of "the Princess Bride." The melody, BTW, is played a number of times in the background of the story- it almost serves as a theme song for Wesley and Buttercup. =========== Come my love I'll tell you a tale, Of a boy and girl and their love story.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.
