Name that Tune

[WordWolf 846]

"Cross-Eyed Mary", by Jethro Tull.

[WordWolf 846]

"Now when I was just a little boy standin' to my Daddy's knee,

My Poppa said, 'Son don't let the man get you, do what he done to me' "

[Human without the bean 36]

Born on The Bayou ~CCR~ Can't wait to see Mr. Fogerty this summer! :)

New tune:

I was a little too tall

Could've used a few pounds

Tight pants points hardly reknown

She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes

And points all her own sitting way up high

Way up firm and high

I'll try another:

The guilty undertaker sighs

The lonesome organ grinder cries

The silver saxophones say I should refuse you

"I Want You" - Bobby Dylan?

[Human without the bean 36]

New One:

Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace

I dream at night I can only see your face

I look around but it's you I can't replace

I feel so cold and I long for your embrace

[Human without the bean 36]

Every Breathe You Take ~Police~

I have a mansion, forget the price

Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice

I live in hotels, tear out the walls

I have accountants pay for it all

"Life's Been Good" - Joe Walsh

New One:

Cause I'm leavin' in the morning

And I must see you again

We'll have one more night together

Til' the morning brings my train

[GeorgeStGeorge 126]

"Last Train to Clarksville" -- The Monkees

She drives real fast, and she drives real hard;

She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard

"The Little Old Lady from Pasadena" (go granny, go granny, go granny, go) - Beach Boys; Jan and Dean

New One:

Come along with me

We'll dance until morning, just you and me

and maybe, if the music is right

I'll meet ya tomorrow so late at night

[bfh 0]

Here's more:

And it's magic

If the music is groovy

It makes you feel happy like an old time movie

[GeorgeStGeorge 126]

REAL familiar, but I can't think of the title. :(

Here's some more (in sequence):

And it's magic

If the music is groovy

It makes you feel happy like an old time movie

I'll tell ya about the magic

It'll free you soul

but it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll

If you believe in magic, don't bother to choose

Come along with me

We'll dance until morning, just you and me

and maybe, if the music is right

I'll meet ya tomorrow so late at night

Bonus Hints:

In last Sunday's Mad Men, this group snagged a mention in a phone conversation between Sally and Glen Bishop.

The song was written by John Sebastian.

[GeorgeStGeorge 126]

"Do You Believe in Magic" by the Lovin' Spoonful?

That's the one.

Your turn.

Rosanna's down in Texarkana

Wanted me to push her broom

Sweet Eileen's in Abilene

She forgot I hung the moon

George

[Human without the bean 36]

George, would you care to share another line or two?

[GeorgeStGeorge 126]

Rosanna's down in Texarkana

Wanted me to push her broom

Sweet Eileen's in Abilene

She forgot I hung the moon

And Allison's in Galveston

Somehow lost her sanity

And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's

Got the law looking for me

George

[Human without the bean 36]

Glen Campbell song?

[GeorgeStGeorge 126]

George Strait, actually.

[Chorus, contains title]

I remember that old Frio River

Where I learned to swim

But it brings to mind another time

Where I wore my welcome thin

By transcendental meditation

I go there each night

But I always come back to myself

Long before daylight

[Human without the bean 36]

No one's chiming in George and don't know any GS tune to my knowledge.

[GeorgeStGeorge 126]

We used to have some C&W folks here. Ah, well...

[Human without the bean 36]

OK. I got one.

Hint: This is from the 60's.

The guilty undertaker sighs

The lonesome organ grinder cries

The silver saxophones say I should refuse you

The cracked bells and washed-out horns

Blow into my face with scorn

But it's not that way

I wasn't born to lose you
