Guess the song!

[R_of_G]

I know it, but I will spare everyone my answer as it will likely result in my posting another one nobody will get. good choice though algoinquin, my wife loves the band who does the song you posted.

Thanks Kris. The Offspring are Pretty Fly!

This one I'm throwing up is very recognizable when you hear the infectious intro, but the lyrics are definately a bit 'out there'

I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy but nothing is
No

When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time I am never sure
Why I need you
Pleased to meet you

I got my head done
When I was young
It's not my problem
Just not my problem

When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All the time and I'm never sure
Why I need you
Pleased to meet you

Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Oh, yeah


Bump... with a hint.

Think of a song that's played in most hockey arena's across North America.

And no... it isn't Gary Glitters 'Rock and Roll Part 2'

[just strum]

Think of song that's played in most hockey arena's across North America.



huh?

[Algonquin]

huh?

It's commonly played in hockey arena's in celebration after the home team scores a goal.

It's from a Brit band of the 90's who had a well known rivalry with OASIS.

It's been featured in many, many commercials including one for Labbatt's Beer up in Canada Eh!
No doot aboot it! :AOK:

I think most people just know "woohoo!"

[marnold]

Here's about as esoteric as I get. It contains one of my favorite descriptions in the history of ever:

Loneliness and frustration
We both came down with an acute case
And when the lights came up at two
I caught a glimpse of you
And your face looked like something
Death brought with him in his suitcase

[pes_laul]

I remember my dad singing that song but I think its called french inhaler?

[marnold]

Wow, the kid comes through! Warren Zevon's "French Inhaler" it is indeed.

Bump...

[pes_laul]

bump..... ok so its been a little bit here try this one.....


We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify. Look me in the eye,
and ask for forgiveness.
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again.
Yes, you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us,
at least we dig each other.

So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday.

If I turn into another
dig me up from under what is covering
the better part of me.
Sing this song
remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone.

We all have a sickness
that cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us,
at least we dig each other.

So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.
If I turn into another,
dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone.
Oh, each other when everything else is gone.

[Algonquin]

OK... this is absolutey COOL Kris!

I recently posted about this band on Dolpinstreet, and they are becoming one on my favourite Alt bands out there.

Very, very cool band... I hope someone Drive's this one home! :AOK:, because I really dig it.

Is it something by Judas Priest?

[R_of_G]

i think it's dokken but i can't think of the name of the song

[Tone2TheBone]

Sorry I deleted the post I put cause i didn't see marnold's. Resume.

And yeah it's probably a Dokken song.

[Spudman]

I'm biting my nails waiting until someone spits the title from between their teeth.

[R_of_G]

i wouldn't know the title until someone told me. i don't really like dokken or know their songs, but someone i used to live with in college sure as shit did and i heard plenty of it. i know this one is one of theirs but the name i could try to guess all day but no clue...

[marnold]

And yeah it's probably a Dokken song.
Moi? Post a Dokken song? Never! ;)

It's also one of my favorite songs ever off my second favorite album ever.

[Spudman]

But I just gave a clue.:D

[Tone2TheBone]

Oh God duh...Tooth and Nail. Thanks potato head.

That song has some great chord vibratos. Where I picked it up from. :rockon:

[oldguy]

OK, Tone, your turn, go............
(unless you wanna give it to Spud, since he same as told 'ya).....

[Tone2TheBone]

I did a preemptive one before the final answer to marnold's this morning and it was Jimi's Axis:Bold As Love...it was cool too cause I added colors to it. I deleted it though. You do one!

[oldguy]

OK...... lemme see if I can be really clever and fool everyone.........

And I may drown in still water
but I'll never swim Kern River again

SuperSwede should be able to guess this........

[pes_laul]

Bump......so it's been a little while try this.......

The world is spinning so Fast

Hey farmer farmer
Put away that d.d.t. now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!

Big Yellow Taxi :D

Excellent post Spudman! Good choice :AOK:

Am I right?

[Algonquin]

Mr Spudman, I'm going to jump the gun and throw the next one out here... I'm pretty confident about Joni Mitchell, so here goes another.


How d'you do I
See you've met my
Faithfull handyman
He's just a
Little brought down because
When you knocked
He thought you were the candyman.

Dont get strung out
By the way I look.
Dont judge a book by its cover.
I'm not much of a man by the light of day,
But by night I'm one hell of a lover

[Spudman]

No worries. You're up. It was Joni Big Yellow Taxi.

good one Algonquin,

i believe it is "Sweet Transvestite" from the Rocky Horror Pic. Show

[Algonquin]

Yes Yes Yes!

I was dying here nobody was guessing... I was even dropping hints like the new Avatar, and posting Ted should leave his homemade Tele a 'Sweet Transparent'

Go man go... the mike is yours.

Oh ya, if you're over 14... I guess you can watch this.

[R_of_G]

alright, here goes...
-------------------------
The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in gloom of the sickroom
And talk to yourself as you die.

Life is a short, warm moment
And death is a long cold rest.
You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye:
Eighty years, with luck, or even less.

So all aboard for the American tour,
And maybe you'll make it to the top.
And mind how you go, and I can tell you, 'cause I know
You may find it hard to get off.

You are the angel of death
And I am the dead man's son.
And he was buried like a mole in a fox hole.
And everyone is still on the run.

And who is the master of fox hounds?
And who says the hunt has begun?
And who calls the tune in the courtroom?
And who beats the funeral drum?

The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in gloom in the sickroom
And talk to yourself as you die.

pink floyd- free 4

[oldguy]

Well, we live in a trailer
at the edge of town
You never see us
'cause we don't come around.
We got twenty five rifles
just to keep
the population down.
But we need you now,
and that's why
I'm hangin' 'round.
So you be good to me
and I'll be good to you,
And in this land of conditions
I'm not above suspicion
I won't attack you,
but I won't back you.

Well, it's so good to be here,
asleep on your lawn.
Remember your guard dog?
Well, I'm afraid
that he's gone.
It was such a drag
to hear him
whining all night long.
Yes, that was me with the doves,
setting them free
near the factory
Where you built your computer,
love.
I hope you get the connection,
'cause I can't take
the rejection
I won't deceive you,
I just don't believe you.

Well, I'm a barrel of laughs,
with my carbine on
I keep 'em hoppin',
till my ammunition's gone.
But I'm still not happy,
I feel like
there's something wrong.
I got the revolution blues,
I see bloody fountains,
And ten million dune buggies
comin' down the mountains.
Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon
is full of famous stars,
But I hate them worse than lepers
and I'll kill them
in their cars.

[Algonquin]

[Simon]

Hmm - a little hard to choose something as a lot of the local/European music I listen to never made it to the US. Not much fun in posting those. But this should be quite well known:

I liked the way my hand looked on your head
in the presence of my knuckles
but the beauty of this vision alone just like yesterday's sunset
has been perverted by the sentimental
and mistaken for love

the felix of your truth will always break
it and the iris of your eye will always shake it
and the armies, the armies I have created
will always hate it
will always bait you on

I liked the way my hand looked on your head
in the presence of my struggle
but the beauty of this vision alone I can't shake from my tree just yet
it keeps invading all my private moments
listen to me now

[Simon]

No guesses = Too easy?? :o - well that was "Iris" from Live's Throwing Copper.

I'll try another one. This is from an album I recently "borrowed' from my library - they have a service where you can actually download music from home, it's DRM'ed and will play for seven days before expiring. .. Very convenient for checking out new stuff.

Don't think there is any guitar on the track so very OT here.. ;) It did catch me straight away with a melancholic, beautiful sound, but when I paid closer attention to the lyrics I kinda wish I hadn't; somewhat disturbing... Anyway, here it is for you to try 'the other way round'...

It's true I always wanted love to be
Hurtful
And it's true I always wanted love to be
Filled with pain
And bruises
(...)
Mr. Muscle, gazing boredly
And he checking time did punch me
And I sighed and bleeded like a windfall
Happy bleedy, happy bruisy

your lies.

Leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied,
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things you said to me.

Breathing is the hardest thing
to do. with all I've said and
all that's dead for you,
you lied - good bye

yep STP, but I can't remember the title of the song. We had a radio station here that played a lot of STP, so I can hear it with the exception of the DJ saying "That was STP with blah blah blah"

[Childbride]

Interstate Love Song. one of my abso-favorite songs by that band. [schwiiiiing]:D :D :D

i forget the rules. does that mean i get to play?

[Childbride]

how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home


now that I know what I’m without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life



frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

'Bring Me To Life' - Evanessence

I am gonna reach WAY back for this. Hint: This hit the airwaves in 1972

Have you ever felt the night
Felt the wind around you
Have you read a book or two
Or have books been reading you

Do clothes reflect your mental health
Are your boots reheeled
Could you lead a life of wealth
Delivered wrapped and sealed

[chorus left out]

Must you be a superstar
To find your means of living
Does it matter who you are
Can't you stomach giving

Not a day goes by
That a man doesn't have to choose
Between what he wants
What he's afraid to lose
Along comes temptation
And he can't refuse, no
I know the different between wrong and right
Don't make no difference in the middle of the night

Take the bait
You pay the price

You know and I know that our good things' through

'Questions' by Bang

http://www.bangmusic.com/

Lot's good info on the site. To hear a clip... Click Store and then click the image for CD1 Bang / Mother - Bow to the King. There were three tunes popular on the radio at the time; 'Questions', 'The Queen' and 'Future Shock'. Check 'em out for some early 70's stoner metal.

I got the CD1 recently and it was a lot of fun re-figuring it all back out. So now I have to go dig up something for another post. I 'pass the token' on my turn for now.

Wow, sure like to have them tools Robert!!! :dude:

Well... dormant for a while now, so here goes one for a Friday morning.

Don’t cut out my paper heart, I aint dyin anyway
Take a look at eye full towers
Never trust them dirty liars
Sippin lemon yellow booze `ole leadbelly sings the blues
All dressed up on wedding day keep on trippin anyway

I am I am I said I’m not myself, but I’m not dead and I’m not for sale
So keep your bankroll lottery eat your salad day deathbed motorcade

Fake the heat and scratch the itch
Skinned up knees and salty lips
Ill breathe your life Vicks vapor life
And when you binge I purge alike
Let go its harder holding on
One more trip and Ill be gone

So keep your head up
Keep it on, just a whisper Ill be gone
Take a breath and make it big
Its the last you’ll ever get
Break your neck with diamond noose
Its the last you’ll ever choose

I am I am I said I’m not myself, but I’m not dead and I’m not for sale
Hold me closer, closer let me go let me be just let me be

Have a good weekend everyone.

Ok Folks... here's your 23rd Hr hint.

The bands name is commonly referred to as a '3' lettered fuel/oil additive, and a lead singer (currently with a different 'project/slash' band) has had his share of Betty Ford type assistance.

C'mon Ted... You're tripping all over this one.

He's singin and she's there to lend a hand
he's seen his name on the marquee but she will never understand
once again he's leavin' and she's there with a tear in her eye
embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye

[Intro... forever...]

He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun.

On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
With the secrets of the worlds.

And his subjects
gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see.

By the way, the answer to mine (#327) was this:

[marnold]

Ok, here should be a fairly easy one for many to jump-start this thread again.

[Intro... forever...]

He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun.

On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
With the secrets of the worlds.

And his subjects
gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see.

I believe you are looking for this, not so?

Take it away Rev.Rawk !

[marnold]

OK, hopefully this one won't sit there like the previous one did . . .

If it helps, I prefer the live version of this song:

Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you

. . .

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there

[Sblack]

Fear of the dark.
Fear of the da-ark.
I have the constant fear that someone's always near.

Up the Irons!

Geez, I used to think I was pretty good at music type trivia, you guy's are smok'n everyone !

A glint of steel
A flash of light

Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find

When your time has come, you'll accept the ...

[pes_laul]

bump....


here if you get this one I'll give you a cookie

September sun blowing golden hair
Now keep in mind son she was never there
October's rust bisecting black storm clouds
Only the deaf hear my silent shouts

Yet in the dark still he screams your name
Nights living with death with which rhymes insane
Ten years amassed para toda mi vida?
Lost man in time was his name Peter?

September sun rotted flatbush porch
I would have run then had I known the cost
Autumnal rays turned your eyes to stone
Did it give you pleasure to steal my soul?

Yet in the dark still he screams your name
Nights living with death with which rhymes insane
Ten years amassed para toda mi vida?
Lost man in time was his name Peter?

Leave her alone. (repeated several times)

"Under the Blade" by Twisted Sister.

Anyone care to jump in to keep this thread going?

It's been sitting a while now. :poke:

Take it 'Gonq.

Take it 'Gonq.
Thanks Ted :AOK: I'll throw this one out there... let's see what happens.

When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues

[marnold]

"Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John

I hope I don't lose my metalhead card for that. Here's my attempt to gain it back just in case. My guess would be that at least a few folks on here should get this one right away:


End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you.

[ted s]

I don't know, maybe a Metallica tune ?

I didn't get it... I just commented on the Rev being the Master :master:

Ok, I don't get to do this often..
Our American brothers and sisters may have difficulty, hint.. classic 70's Canadian artist.

The minds of science, the nation's leaders
To meet again at destination
Sweating in their seats, anticipation

On the salt flats of Nevada
All those who mattered waited for the word "

Let me toss you a bone, his brother was a hoser eh !

ok, its a gimme

Just got an idea... post some lines from a song, and we guess what song and artist it is.

You are not allowed to use search engines to look for the lines. Doing so will result in alien abduction with painful probing activities in certain body cavities, as well as mandatory front row seat participation (earplugs not allowed) at the next Britney Spears show.

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. :D
Bump.

Anyone?... Anyone?...

Bueller?... Bueller?...

[bigG]

Okay then, how abt this one. One of my faves:

"God said to Abraham, kill me a son/
Abe said man, you must be puttin me on/
God said No, Abe said what?/
God said you can do what you want, Abe, but.../
the next time you see me comin, you better run/
Abe said where do you want this killin done?/
God said out on...???"

Give that a try. For a certain cult following, it's pretty much a gimme :)

(Hint: his nom de artiste is not his given name...has been a master singer/songwriter since the early 60s...started acoustic, raised a ruckus when he went electric...famously called Judas at a concert in the UK...)

[ted s]

Bob Dylan, Highway 61 ?

[bigG]

Very good, ted! We have a winner! :AOK:

You're next to post some lyrics, ted...

[ted s]

Ok.. good luck with this..

Merge on the networks, slangin' nerve gas
Up jump the boogie then bang, let 'em hang
While the paraniod try ta stuff the void
Let's capture this AM mayhem
Undressed, and blessed by tha Lord
The power pendulum swings by the umbilical cord
Shock around the clock, from noon 'til noon
Men grabbin' they mics, and stuff 'em into the womb
Terror's the product ya push
Well I'm a truth addict, oh shit I gotta headrush
Sheep tremble an here come the votes
Thrown from the throat, new cages an scapegoats
Undressed and blessed by the Lord....

[Spudman]

Rob Zombie?

Don't know the song, but the lyrics sound like something Rage Against the Machine would do.

Here ya go! The last bit is one of my favorite lyrics. To quote a friend of mine, "I had a girlfriend like that once."

It was you, it was me
And we would last forever
Any fool could see that we were meant to be

Without you, there is no meaning to my life
You're gone and it cuts me like a knife
How could you leave me?

. . .

Why did you turn away
Let your love fade away and die
You became so cold, you made me feel so old

When you left, you broke my heart
And just to see
How many pieces there would be
After you leave me

[Eric]

By the way, without Google, I don't think anyone was getting this one. Please no alien abductions...

Throw one out there Eric... It's about time this thread was revived :applause

[Eric]

You say : "'Ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn"
And you claim these words as your own
But I've read well, and I've heard them said
A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)
If you must write prose/poems
The words you use should be your own
Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
'Cause there's always someone, somewhere
With a big nose, who knows
And who trips you up and laughs
When you fall

Think mid-80s Brits, now a favorite band of hipsters everywhere.

Cemetry Gates - The Smiths

Yes, I cheated and checked some lyrics.

How about:

Early to bed
Early to rise

Makes a man or woman
Miss out on the night life

[BigJD]

how 'bout:

What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
Its got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?

See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall gently like rain

Rush off of 2112.

[BigJD]

Rush off of 2112.
Wow I'm at the wrong end.HA HA

Morphine. Great band. I saw them live before Mark died, and he did a lot of spoken word stuff that was relatively...interesting.

[EnglishJW]

Congratulations Sean. I never did see them live but I enjoyed a lot of his music.

[FrankenFretter]

Okay, my turn:

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again,
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens.
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell,
Well, you double-dealed me, baby, I cracked like a shell.

No Googling!

A mother sings a lullaby to a child
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy

A walk in the woods and I will try
Something under the trees that made you cry
It's so erotic when your make up runs

I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never, ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead

Didn't want to give away too much here, so I made an edit...

Come around to my way of thinkin'
Don't you want to, want to get along?
Everyday just like a vacation with you
When I'm watchin' you and Fidel Castro in the sand, kissin'!

Girl you got to roll
(redacted)
Overthrow
(redacted)

She's comin on like a bicycle army
Everybody's waitin' for the man to come down from the tower
Every day is just like a vacation with you layin' right here now
I'm watchin you and Fidel Castro in the sand, assassin!

"Sister Havana" by Urge Overkill. Great tune, great album.

I suppose I need to come up with one now . . .

OK, here's a track by a great band before they started sucking:

I never needed love before
Till I met you, girl
A girl like you I have never seen
You came into my life like a whirlwind, girl
You let me know what lovin' really means

[Refrain]

You got me where you want me, girl
So no messin' around
You know I never played that hard to please
I've been here many times before
And walked this sacred ground
But this time you got me on my knees
You got me

[Refrain]

Since I seem to have ground this thread to a halt (again), I'll give some hints. This band was originally considered by some (although probably not me) to be a part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. This song is off their second album. Their fourth album sold a bajillion copies but unfortunately pushed the band into the realm of pop where they've remained ever since. Nevertheless, their second and third albums remain classics in my mind.

I didn't think this song was that obscure, but maybe I'm wrong. I heard it a lot in early high school.

Well, I already googled for it, so I'm out of the running. If it helps, I wouldn't really call them heavy metal. I like them, however -- even the pop stuff.

[Spudman]

Whitesnake? I realize that it's not overly sexual but Coverdale could have been having a soft moment.

[deeaa]

Too hard. Saxon? They'r enot pop nowadays though. I don't know many others off that time. Diamondhead? Nope...

[marnold]

OK, I'll surrender. It's "Lady Strange" by Def Leppard off "High 'N' Dry." And yes, some people lump them in with the NWoBHM. How about this one from a very well known metal singer indeed. Probably his most maudlin song.

Yesterday has been and gone
Tomorrow will I find the sun
Or will it rain
Everybody's having fun
Except for me I'm the lonely one
I live in shame

[Chorus]

I've been the king
I've been the clown
No broken wings can hold me down
I'm free again
The jester with a broken crown
It won't be me this time around
To love in vain

Well, I did hear Randy playing guitar as soon as I'd read about six words, so I was somewhat confident of my answer, although I didn't think I actually knew the lyrics to that song that well.

I guess that makes it my turn. Hmmm...

And if you're feeling lucky... come and take me home
And if you feel loved
If you feel lucky, if you feel loved
If you feel lucky, if you feel loved

You've crossed the walls - Excelled
Further along through their hell
All for my heart, I watch you kill
You always have, you always will
Now spread your wings and sail out to me...

Hopefully not too easy, nor too hard. Good luck!

[FrankenFretter]

I guess it's my turn to stall the thread. Hmmm, I thought this one would be relatively easy. The band is not exactly esoteric. I don't want to say anything that will be a dead giveaway, but one of the band members had an accident recently. I would describe their sound as multi-textured and big.

Anyone? Buehler? Anyone?

[Eric]

Anyone? Buehler? Anyone?
If I have no hope of guessing the song, I'll usually google to find the answer. With that in mind, I'll say that I don't think you're going to get anyone to guess this one. The last time I even heard of this band was late 90s.

[marnold]

I had to Google it too. I had never heard the song before. I had heard of the group, but that was it.

[FrankenFretter]

Wow. I guess I'm the only one that listens to Deftones. They're definitely worth a listen, IMO.

How about this one then?

One, two, one-two-three-four!
Come on all you good rats
we'll send you to heaven you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam
'cause in these vats you've made quite a creation
a potion that turned the Guinness to gold!

Surely that one won't take long. And....go!
