Name that Tune 10/23/04 revisited

Nobody has guessed last Saturday's song yet so I'm going to post all of the lyrics except the title and see if that helps. I heard he was marrying some girl from Denver Then my sister came over had the Sunday paper with her. There was the girl on the social page. Looking in love and all engaged. We...

Name that tune 10/29/04

The election campaign reminded me of this song, which was used as a theme song by a candidate in a previous election. Why not think about the times to come? And not about the things that you've done? If your life was bad to you Then just think about what tomorrow will do. Sign in to see full entry.

Name that Tune 10/28/04

Here's another one from the 70s Looking out at the road running under my wheels I don't know how to tell you how crazy this life feels. Looking around for the friends I used to turn to to pull me through Looking into their eyes I see them running too. Sign in to see full entry.

Name that tune 10-27-04

This is a "bubblegum" song from the early 70s I'm sleeping And right in the middle of a good dream All at once I wake up From something that keeps knocking at my brain Before I go insane I hold a pillow to my head And spring up out of bed Screaming out the words I dread Sign in to see full entry.

Name that Tune 10/26/04

Today's song doubles as a clue to Saturday's song, which noone has guessed yet. This is a better known song by the same performer I hope you never lose your sense of wonder Get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking.

Name that Tune 10/25/04

It occurred to me that I don't think I've done any songs by African-American performers, so to rectify that, here's an old Motown tune. I bet you're wondering how I knew About your plans to make me blue With some other guy you knew before Between the two of us guys you know I love you more. Sign in to see full entry.

Name that Tune 10/24/04

Nobody's even guessed at yesterday's tune. Maybe there aren't many country fans on Blogit? Anyhow, I'll give y'all a little more time on that one. In the meantime it's back to the pop/rock genre for today's song. All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand. But you turned into a lover and... Sign in to see full entry.

Name that tune 10/23/04

You guys and gals have been getting these too easily. I'm going to have to start making them tougher. This one is a country hit from the late 90s, the lyrics still crack me up whenever I hear it. I couldn't be happier on my own But I've got the slightest little jealous bone And seeing her with him,... Sign in to see full entry.

Name that Tune 10/22/04

Since it's Friday and your brains are probably tired from a long week of work, I thought I'd give you an easy one today. You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money while you're sittin' at the table They'll be time...

Name that Tune 10/21/04

This may be a toughie. This performer was popular during the sixties and seventies but this wasn't one of his bigger hits. Money Talks But it don't sing and dance And it don't walk As long as I can have you here with me I'd much rather be... Sign in to see full entry.

Inspired partly by Quirkyalone's movie line blog and partly by a game my friend Bruce made up. I'll give you some lyrics, you guess the song.
