Name that tune

I remember songs from the 1960s a lot better than more recent songs. With that in mind:

And I'll meet you at the station
You can be there by four-thirty
'Cause I've made your reservation

Trains are nice!

"Take The Last Train To Clarksville".

That was quick - no Monkee-ing around! Your turn.

Thank you Paul. I also know older songs much better than any of the newer "stuff".

This one is not from all the way back to the 1960s though.

"Don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you"

There is a bit of trivia related to why I chose this one now, but I will save that for another clue, if needed, or for when it is identified. Extra credit for supplying the trivia with the song title!

Don't it make my brown eyes blue? Crystal Gayle

Can't help with the trivia though...

funny, that song came to my mind. But still not sure if it's correct, fingers crossed.
Maybe Crystal Gayle caught a train somewhere once?

I also recognised the song straight away. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out the trivia.

Is it some connection between Crystal Gayle and the Monkees? Or some connection with Clarksville?

Post by **Peter_S** » Wed Jan 10, 2018 4:07 pm

Plummy is correct.

Sorry I was not clear about the trivia. It was not related to the previous song.

Yesterday, as I heard on the radio, (on a classical station, no less), was Crystal Gayle's birthday.

Back to the 70's...

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them all round my cell

Turning Japanese - The Vapors

Here's an oldish one :

"My shadow follows me
Wherever I should chance to go"

I don't remember those specific lyrics, but the rhythm sounds like Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen.

Afraid not, Paul.
Earlier than that - the original is by a folk group and an excellent cover was done by an Irish band with the initials FM.
Enough clues for now.

No takers for this one then - I will post something a bit "easier" and topical then.

It was "John the Gun" by Fairport Convention - the Irish band Fatima Mansions did a very good cover.

Here's a new one :

"Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken".

Looks like you've stumped us again Paul,

Oh dear - I thought this one would be more topical - it is "Zombie" by the Cranberries - topical with Dolores o'Riordan passing away last week.

I'll try one last time -

"Nobody is going to go to school today,
She's going to make them stay at home"

I don’t like Mondays, Boomtown Rats?

Correct, Jan - over to you.

Paul G

Paul Victory · Post by **Paul Victory** » Wed Jan 24, 2018 10:17 am

Drat, I knew that one. I actually went to see the Boomtown Rats in a post race meeting concert at Leopardstown racecourse in August 2016.

jhaveman · Post by **jhaveman** » Wed Jan 24, 2018 7:14 pm

Thanks Paul G - wouldn't have got the Zombie one from anything but lines from the chorus.

Sorry Paul V - but here's another chance! This one is pretty recent:

Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Jan, I think that this might be Happy?

jhaveman · Post by **jhaveman** » Wed Jan 24, 2018 9:52 pm

Correct Jill, that was quick

It was a music question in last week's pub quiz - I'm afraid we didn't know it at the time

Your turn!

Jill · Post by **Jill** » Thu Jan 25, 2018 5:30 pm

Thank you Jan and apologies for another instance of my creeping brain rot.

After I had gone to bed last night, I remembered that I'd already put up Happy, ( last October ). I went to edit my post this morning but you had already replied.

Please feel free to have another go.

jhaveman · Post by **jhaveman** » Thu Jan 25, 2018 6:18 pm

Jill, I must admit I forgot to search the forum for previous occurrences

It's very generous of you to let me have another go

This one is from the same pub quiz (a hint: another recent Christmas number 2 in the UK):
Maybe I'm foolish
Maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this
And see what's behind

Post by **Tako** » Fri Jan 26, 2018 7:25 am

You are human Jan

jhaveman · Post by **jhaveman** » Fri Jan 26, 2018 10:56 am

I think you're right Tako

The song is Human by Rag'n'Bone Man.

Your turn, and try to avoid Teach-In
