Name that Tune

[mramailman]

I'm whoreing this off another board and I don't give a rats ass.
Basically all you do is give out a few lines and if you know it reply and give the answer.
You must remember the rules.... well shit there really isn't any.

Just give enough of the song to where we can get it and if possible don't use a search engine. If you want to go ahead but it takes a bit away from the excitement... yeah that's the ticket... excitement.

lex I know you'll be all over this so here's the first one.


"When she was three her Barbies always did it on the first date
Now she's with me, there's never any need for them to demonstrate
She's like a baby, I'm like a cat;
When we are happy, we both get fat and still
It's never enough, it's never enough, it's never enough...."


Pretty simple if you ask me.... oh try not to post some off the wall B/S that noone will ever get.

Have fun. :)

[mathmajors]

Aw man. No search engines.

I know artist and name, but I'll refrain from posting to build the excitement.:drums:

[magnus]

no clue

[gutter]

Uh, the title is "it's never enough" by uh, er, L.A. Guns.

Nope.

[lex]

c'mon math., the game is you answer if you know it. then it's your turn to post your song. the trick is to post something people will probably know... common songs.

we'll get excitement, don't worry. i'll force excitement on M, if i have to....hahahaha. kidding. ;) :rolleyes:

[mathmajors]

OK. Barenaked Ladies - Life in a Nutshell.

Next tune:

'Take, if you want a slice
If you want a piece
If it feels alright

Break, if you like the sound
If it gets you up
If it brings you down....'

[mramailman]

I know that.... I think....... shit shit shit..... :mad:

[lex]

see what i mean, math? does m sound excited or what?

you go m...go! you know this one!!!

that was BNL? shoot...figures.

i thought it was patty smyth.

[Superfluous_Nut]

Okay, that's "my wave" by soundgarden. (get off my wave?)


Hmmm... something people might know...


I don't want to be hostile.
I don't want to be dismal.
But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.
See
I want to believe you,
and I want to trust
and I want to have faith to put away the dagger.

[mramailman]

Hell yeah....... Intolerance - Tool.

Love me some Tool. Good song.


here's another easy one:

"I ain't got no money
I ain't like those other guys U hang around
It's kinda funny
But they always seem 2 let U down
And I get discouraged
Cuz I never see U anymore
And I need your love baby, yeah
That's all I'm living 4, yeah
I didn't wanna pressure U, baby
But all I ever wanted 2 do... "

If I give anymore than that it gives it away :)

[LarryD]

i'm out.

[lex]

that's easy, m? i dont think so...

easy is like...

"Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I'm just a poor boy,I need no sympathy-
Because I'm easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesn't really matter to me,
To me..."

now that's easy. you know this one larry. you gotta...!

[mramailman]

Come on lex ....that one is too easy...

Bohemian Rhapsody -Queen



And the one I posted is easy IMO...... let's see maybe a hint will do the trick... hmmmm

[mramailman]

How about the second verse


"I wanna be your brother
I wanna be your mother and your sister, 2
There ain't no other
That can do the things that I'll do 2 U
And I get discouraged
Cuz U treat me just like a child
And they say I'm so shy, yeah
But with U, I'll just go wild, ooh
I didn't wanna pressure U, baby ... no
But all I ever wanted 2 do... "



Also the numbers and the use of the letter U is a hint.... :)

[lex]

u2 but i need to hear it to know what song...

[gutter]

U2???

HOW ABOUT A HINT, I WANT TO GO ON TO ANOTHER SONG.

[mathmajors]

Naw. U2 lyrics are much better. That's gotta be a Prince song, but I don't know which one.

[mramailman]

mathmajors is all over it :)


Go with the search engines........ for now :D

[mathmajors]

Prince - I Wanna Be Your Lover


Let's see said the blind man.....


Here I stand, head in hand, turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on feeling two foot small....

[lex]

dang it. why did i say u2? friggin prince! of course.

i quit. i suck at this here. m, am still thinkin about that other song on another thread...! :(

[mramailman]

mathmajors I'm going to need a bit more than that please....

[Superfluous_Nut]

it's....the beatles! "you've got to hide yer love away." man. that "head in hand" line was killing me cuz I knew it, but I was having a hard time placing it.

Okay... uh... damn. lessee...


Time is the essence
Time is the season
Time ain't no reason
Got no time to slow

Time everlasting
Time to play B-sides
Time ain't on my side
Time I'll never know

[mathmajors]

Blue Oyster Cult - I'm Burning For You


mramailman, no whiners please:D

I'll do better this time.



I gotta '34 wagon and we call it a woodie.
You know it's not very cherry; it's an oldie but a goodie.
Well, it ain't got a backseat or a rear window,
But it still gets me where I want to go......

Surf City Jan and Dean

"Peaches come from a can,
they were put there by a man
In a factory downtown
If I had my little way,
I'd eat peaches every day
Sun-soakin' bulges in the shade"

I wasn't whinin' just saying that 2 lines wasn't enough :)

In the middle, time is creeping by
And I wonder why
You're so removed" ;)

POTUSA "Peaches". Nobody guessed so i finally got one right. Which means I get to pick a song.



"Daddy works in porno, now that mommy's not around.
She used to love her hair wet, but now she's underground.
So you stay up late at night, and do your coke for free,
driving your friends crazy with your life's insanity."

[mathmajors]

:thinking:

[lex]

i t hought i posted potusa, "peaches" then i look at my post and it's not there! shit, i musta been drunk last night!

M!!! see what you do to me? no search engines for me... no way. either i say it right off or i dont.

:(

[mramailman]

I've racked my brain all day over this song and it is driving me nuts..... someone please get this and put me out of my misery.

It seems very familiar to me but I cannot place it. :(

[Superfluous_Nut]

sounds like an offspring song.

[gutter]

I'll give a big hint so we can move on.

First three words of the chorus:

"Well, well, well"

C'mon peeps, everybody on the face of the planet owned this record in the late 80's.

With good reason - My Michelle, GNR.


I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view of distant atmosphere
Call it morning driving through the sound
And in and out the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there...

[lex]

:confused: :headcut: :thinking:

[mramailman]

I'm on that one......


Roundabout - Yes

I have that downloaded :)

The GNR I should have gotten, it seemed familiar :(


Here's one :

"You turn me on and on
The feelin’, girl, is so strong
My heart, girl, is on fire
Ooh, you’re my desire

I’ve got a thing for you
Dreams of you and me, baby
She’s bad, she’s bad, she’s bad
All I know is...."

Blue Angel - Squirrel Nut Zippers

[mramailman]

I know those songs by heart.... I listened to Hot twice yesterday:)


New song:

"I gave my heart and soul to you, girl
Didn't I do it baby.... didn't I do it baby

Gave you the love you never knew, girl
Didn't I do it baby... didn't I do it baby

I've tried so many times and that's no lie
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry..."


Have at it.

[Superfluous_Nut]

I can tell you right now -- I'm completely unfamiliar with any song lyrics with "girl" and "baby" repeated over and over.

[mramailman]

Come one Nut.....

I'll make it easier for you...

The artist is The Delfonics.

[lex]

what? unfamiliar with songs that has repeated girl and baby in it? nut, nut, nut...and you are from l.a.?

disco songs, dancing songs usually have those words.

are the delfonics disco? no search engines for me...

might as well tell us, m. i guess i can look...

anyone wanna guess this one?

Living in New York, looks like an apple core (apple core)
Asphalt jungle, got to be a man of war
California dreamers sinking in the sand (the sand, the sand, the sand)
The Hollywood squares are living in Disneyland
Wee! Ho
:sunny:

[lex]

"Oh, we were dancing mouths open
Splashing tongue taste
For a moment this good time would never end
You and me
You and me
Just wasting time
I was kissing you,
You were kissing me love
From good day into a moonlight
Now a night so fine
Makes us wanna..."


that up there is a freebee...too easy... :D

[mramailman]

Damn folks I thought that was an easy one.

Didn't I do it right this time - The Delfonics

[mramailman]

The easy one lex is Let's go all the way - Slyfox


The other is Dave Matthews Band but be damned if I can think of the song title :(

[lex]

yes...... and yes...... hahaha...now, that is what i call easy. anyone want another easy one?

"It's not the way you smile that touched my heart.
(sha la la la la)
It's not the way you kiss that tears me apart.
Uh, oh, many, many, many nights go by,
I sit alone at home and I cry over you.
What can I do. Can't help myself, 'cause..." :p

[lex]

that dave matthews song is "stay" (wasting time)
