Name that Tune

Only if you listen to the country stations

Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss

Now that's good music.

Here's a little ditty that my 17-year old son likes:

I met a girl down at the disco

She said hey hey hey hey let's go

I could be your baby you could be my honey Let's spend time not money

I mix your milk with my cocoa puff

Milky milky cocoa

Mix your milk with my cocoa puff milky milky

The lyrics of the 21st century

Here's the whole first verse. If no one gets it I'll try another.

I told my boss where to get off two months ago today

Now the bills are pilling high and they're hauling things away

They took the living room sofa the kool-aid stains and all

Now my butts down on a hardwood floor and my back's against the wall

All righty, then. That was "One More Repossession (and I'll Be Out of Debt)" by Perfect Stranger.

I told my boss where to get off two months ago today

Now the bills are piling high and they're hauling things away

They took the living room sofa the kool-aid stains and all

Now my butts down on a hardwood floor and my back's against the wall

One more repossession and I'll be out of debt

But what good is a VCR without a TV set

It's less and less depressing before they come again

One more repossession and I'll be out of debt

Last night I turned in early 'cause they turned off lights

The repo man took my truck in the middle of the night

Things are gone to pieces you know the times are hard

When you have to use your Visa just to pay your Mastercard

One more repossession and I'll be out of debt

But what good is a VCR without a TV set

It's less and less depressing before they come again

One more repossession and I'll be out of debt

It's getting less and less depressing before they come again

One more repossession and I'll be out of debt

Yeah one more repossession and I'll be out of debt

I remember being out dancing (C&W) one night and hearing this. I had to stop dancing, I was laughing so hard!

Try this (much easier, I imagine):

He's got a union card and he's practicing hard

To play the guitar

Gonna be a big star, yeah, he's gonna go far

And carry moon beams home in a jar

Sounds familiar.

*thinks*

At first, I thought the "jar" was from

"Would you Like to Swing on a Star",

but now I'm thinking it's

"Rosalita", by Bruce Springsteen (and the E Street Band).

If so, Clarence Clemon's saxophone riff is the most

recognizable part of the song-and I never thought I'd say

the phrase "saxophone riff" ever.

I could have sworn I replied this morning. Must have hit "Back" instead of "Add Reply"! :rolleyes:

Anyway, it's neither "Would You Like to Swing on a Star" (though the line was probably swiped from it) nor "Rosalita" (which I doubt I've ever heard).

Here are the only other lyrics that won't give it away instantly:

He ordered Chet's Guitar course C.O.D.

Makes "A" and "E" and he's working on "B"

Digs "C" and "W" and "R" and "B"

Guess we should give them a hand, eh George?

I didn't think so either.

Tough clue. Not a song most people think of off the top of their heads.

And another thing: it's got a funky spelling.

Reminds me of the time I was dreaming of all the women who kept company with the Greek god.

Zeus! Yeah, that was his name.

And most didn't even know it was him!

Nitwits.
