Guess the song!

[sunvalleylaw]

Shoot, I was actually close for once. Good job T-Ross.

 

[Robert]

How about this one?

I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called the jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who.

He said, hey there fellow,
With the hair colored yellow,
Watcha tryin' to prove?
cause thats my woman there
And I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

I like easy to guess lyrics like this YES!

 

[Spudman]

Too easy Robert. I'll leave it for someone else.

Actually I heard that song on the radio today. It's Judas Priest's "Turbo Lover". OK, it's really Leonard Skinard's (<- note: metric spelling) "Gimme Three Steps".

Here's one for you:
"Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel
Not been such a fool
Whatever is done is done
I just can't recall
It doesn't matter at all"

I'll take either the original artist or the band that covered it that I'm thinking of

 

[Spudman]

I'm in the dark as to who did a cover version of this. I didn't know you listened to this kind of stuff. I remember when this came out. I was 12 and was just getting into Yes, Moody Blues, ELP. Wow. Memories...misty water colored memories.

Why don't you fill everyone else in on the artist/title and I'll tell you the cover artist

 

[Brian Krashpad]

T_ross that is correct.. its Johnny Cash - Cocaine Blues!

It's been covered a lot. A lesser-known cover of it by a fairly famous band is on a middle-period Soul Asylum album, just prior to them becoming famous.

From The Beginning - Emerson LAke and Palmer.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

No way, I missed that! I play that on my acoustic all the time frik!

 

[marnold]

From The Beginning - Emerson LAke and Palmer.

As covered by none other than Dokken! I've got it on their album "Dysfunctional", but that clip is from "One Live Night."

 

[Spudman]

Hint: This guy is growing up.

To keepin' silence I resigned

My friends would think I was a nut

Turning water into wine

Open doors would soon be shut

So I went from day to day

Tho' my life was in a rut

"Till I thought of what I'd say

Which connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the scenery

I walked right out of the machinery

My heart going boom boom boom

"Hey" he said "Grab your things

I've come to take you home."

Back home.

Ezee

Peter Gabriel, Solsbury Hill ancake

 

[Robert]

How about this one:

She had that
Camarillo brillo
Flamin' out along her head,
I mean her Mendocino bean-o
By where some bugs had made it red

She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest
And every newt in Idaho
And every cricket who had chorused
By the bush in Buffalo

She said she was
A Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know

She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn't done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn't come in
(I couldn't come in right then...)

 

[ted s]

Sounds kinda Zappa-ish ?.. maybe not, you could sing it against ACDC shook me all night long though

 

[Spudman]

That's totally Zappa. I don't know which song though. It's funny that I can tell that it's him just by the meter and lines of thinking.

 

[R_of_G]

I believe it's "Camarillo Brillo" from FZ's Over-Nite Sensation album.

 

[Robert]

Right on Roland, your turn next.

 

[R_of_G]

okeley dokeley... wanted to try to think of one without a "titular line" to raise the degree of difficulty a bit.

Here goes...

On the back of a winged horse
Through the sky of pearly grey
Love is leaf-like
You and me baby

Twinkle twinkle,
blah blah blah
e...t...c....

[guitar solo]

I'll be impressed by whoever gets this one.

 

[Algonquin]

The person who gets it right continues with new song lines. Don't make it too obscure or I suspect the alien probing tools will come out.

R of G, Beware the Wrath of Robert...

 

[R_of_G]

R of G, Beware the Wrath of Robert...

I'll keep him in front of me, that's for sure.

 

[Algonquin]

Bump...

[Spudman]

Twinkle, blah sounds kind of punk or alt country. Probably punk but I haven't a clue so it's something pretty obscure.

 

[ted s]

We need a hint.

 

[R_of_G]

it's punk, but not what i would consider an obscure group.

 

[Rocket]

"Double Nickels On The Dime" by Minutemen

 

[R_of_G]

"Double Nickels On The Dime" by Minutemen

You got the band and album right, and since nobody else seems to be anywhere near this one, I'll just tell you the name of the song is "#1 Hit Song" and we can be on our way.

You're up Rocket...

 

[just strum]

Good a top ten song, this should be easy.

 

[Spudman]

Seriously...it should be a song by a known artist and not a novelty remake.
