Guess the Song Lyric

Beach Boys-Fun Fun Fun

There's a loving in your eyes all the way
If i listen to your lies would you say
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go, you come and go
 
Culture Club - Karma Chameleon


Possibly the best opening line in all of rock & roll:

I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis.
 
Queen-Bohemian Rhapsody

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
 
Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles. Also though, GBM, you need to listen to this: Bohemian Rhapsody played by a 100 year old Fairground Organ

I told you 'bout strawberry fields
You know the place where nothing is real

I told you 'bout the walrus and me, man
You know that we're as close as can be, man
Well, here's another clue for you all
The walrus was Paul

Standing on the cast iron shore, yeah
Lady Madonna trying to make ends meet, yeah

I told you 'bout the fool on the hill
I tell you man he living there still

Fixing a hole in the ocean
Trying to make a dovetail joint, yeah


The lyrics are in chronological order but not including everything.
 
Beatles- Glass Onion.

She says baby
It's 3 am I must be lonely
When she says baby
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
The rain's gonna wash away I believe it
 
Matchbox Twenty-3 AM

I told the girl that you should treat her like a lady and
She told me all the things you did and it was shady, man
She said that what you say and what you do are different things
While you were telling me that you were checking out them blingy rings
 
Gone by Toby Mac.

I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you
 
Into Dreams
Roy Orbison
"Three important rules for breaking up:
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
Prolonging the situation only makes it worse"
And later in the song
"Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
Wash it at least every two weeks
Once every two weeks!"
 
Nada Surf-Popular

I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
 
Crocodile Rock by Elton John. (Which was the biggest kick I ever got, while the other kids we're rocking round the clock, we were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock!)


My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
*Line redacted*

(Skips a verse)

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.
 
Johnny Cash-A Boy Named Sue

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
 
Weird Al Yankovich-The Saga Begins

OOC: WOW... THAT'S AWESOME!!! So we can do also parody?

Hey
Hey
Alright

Aww yeah

My name is link, y'all. I'm straight outta Hyrule

I'm bringin' you a laid-back summertime jam

Hold on a minute Link

Hey, what's up old man?

I see that you're embarkin' on another epic quest
You're gonna use your ocarina to rescue the princess
But you'll need a magic weapon that'll never ever mess
It's dangerouse to go alone, take this
 
It's Dangerous To Go Alone by Starbomb.

College Humor-The Irrationally Long Number Pi Song

OOC: AHAHAHAHAH!!!

Set fire to your hair
Poke a stick at a grizzly bear
Eat medicine that's out of date
Use your private parts as piranha bait
 
Dumb Ways To Die By Dumb Ways 2 Die.

Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?

Ooo
Help me
Ahh, yea-yeah,
 
Purple Haze all in my brain! Lately things just don't seem the same! Acting funny but I don't know why, 'scuse me while I kiss the sky!

Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, "no" was all he said

Optional Bonus Points!
This song and others from the band's repertoire was played live at a festival in the 1960s. Other acts at this specific festival included Jimi Hendrix from above, CSNY, CCR, Joan Baez, Janis Joplin, Blood Sweat & Tears, Santana, Joe Cocker, The Grateful Dead, The Who, Sly & The Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane, and Canned Heat (among other prominent bands and singers of the era). What festival was it?
 
The Band-The Weight (the festival is Woodstock?)

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...
 
ALLLLWAYYYYSS LOOOK ONNN THE BRRIIIIGGHHTTT SIDDEE OF LIFE! *whistle whistle*

And I get to award bonus points because it is indeed Woodstock!

Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
 
Paul Simon-Me & Julio down by the schoolyard

So with different colors and with different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me though i've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you, so what could I have done?
 
Depeche Mode – People Are People

I'm a-walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel a pain
A wishing you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder, I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why, why why why why why she ran away
 
Del Shannon-Runaway

Germany was having trouble
What a sad, sad story
Needed a new leader to restore
Its former glory
Where, oh, where was he?
Where could that man be?
We looked around and then we found
The man for you and me
 
Springtime for Hitler - Mel Brooks


It's gettin' near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes.
I'll soon be with you my love,
To give you my dawn surprise.
I'll be with you darling soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
 
Cream - Sunshine of Your Love

A cloud of eider down
Draws around me softening the sound
Sleepy time when I lie
With my love by my side
And she's breathing low
And the candle dies.
When night comes down you lock the door
The boot falls to the floor
As darkness falls the waves roll by
The seasons change
The wind is warm.
Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan
Behold a dream, the dream is gone
Green fields
A cold rain is falling
Near the golden dawn.
And deep beneath the ground
The early morning sounds and I go down
Sleepy time in my life
With my love by my side
And she's breathing low
And I rise like a bird
In the haze and the first rays touch the sky
And the night winds die.
 
The Beatles - Hello Goodbye

All hands on deck, we've run a float,
I heard the Captain cry.
Explore the ship, replace the cook,
Let no one leave alive.
Across the straits, around the horn,
How far can sailors fly?
A twisted path, our tortured course,
And no one left alive.
 
The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice?

A man conceived a moment's answer to the dream
Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes
As a foundation left to create the spiral aim
A movement regained and regarded both the same
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you


Bonus points to anyone who can tell me what the song is about.
 
OOC: You right.

Yes-And You And I

I was working in the lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
 
He did the mash! He did the Monster Mash! (The Monster Mash) It was a graveyard smash! Bobby Pickett. I break that one out every Halloween :P

The men don't know
But the little girl understand
Hey, all you people that tryin' to sleep
I'm out to make it with my midnight dream, yeah

(I'm looking for the person who wrote it and the person who first recorded it.)
 
The Doors-Back Door Man (wrote by Willie Dixon and first recorded by Howlin' Wolf?)

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing
 
I get knocked down! But I get up again! You're never gonna keep me down! Tubthumping by Chumbawamba (Also you are correct! Howlin' Wolf was the first to record it and Willie Dixon wrote it. The doors have the most well-known version though.)


But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

Bonus points if you can name the casino, what happened to it in 1971 and what was happening when what happened to it happened.
 
Deep Purple-Smoke On The Water (Montreux Casino, during a concert by Frank Zappa a fan had set the venue on fire with a flare gun?)

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?
 
AHA - Take on me :tb2:

Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
Where summers lasted longer than, longer than we do
And nothing really mattered except for me to be with you
But in time we all forgot and we all grew

Your melody sounds as sweet as the first time it was sung
With a little bit more character for show
And by the time your father's heard of all the wrong you've done
Then I'm putting out the lantern find your own way back home.

If I'd forgotten how to sing before I'd sung this song
I'll write it all across the wall before my job is done
And I'll even have the courtesy of admitting I was wrong
As the final words before I'm dead and gone

You've never been so divine in accepting your defeat
And I've never been more scared to be alone.
If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep
Then I'm putting out the lantern find your own way back home
 
Panic! At The Disco-Folkin' Around

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.
 
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams

Before there was Rap we had this:

I'm going to catch that horse if I can
And when I do I'll give her my brand
And we'll be friends for life
She'll be just like a wife
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
 
The Byrds-Chestnut Mare

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
She sees a bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out my God, they killed them all
 
Bob Dylan - Hurricane



I am just a dreamer,
but you are just a dream,
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
