I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

We missed you when we were in Glasgow, but we would have been pleased to meet you!

Sympathy for the Devil by The Stones.

Thanks.

I am not really that depressed, but:

I spend each day the way I start out
Crying my heart out

Somebody had better get this soon, since the song is stuck in my head and I would like a replacement!

Another bit of lyrics:

One less egg to fry

Déjà vu, all over again!

Okay, I will take a page from Jill's playbook, and give some lyrics that contain the words of the song's title:

One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
I should be happy
But all I do is cry

One less man?

Close Barbara. You were just 2 lines too late!

Ann thinks perhaps you were in the third dimension.

I am obviously not a good judge of what is well known and what is obscure.

One Less Bell To Answer by The Fifth Dimension.

I am pretty sure you all know this next one. If not, I hope you do not leave. Would you?

Would you stand up and walk out on me?

I had to look up your last tune, didn't know it I'm afraid. This one sounds like With a little help from my friends?

I was afraid, too!

You are correct Jan, so good luck with your choice.

Peter my next guess was going to be One Less Bell, which still would have been wrong... Haha. So clueless. Even with clues.

However I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Soul Train!

Thanks for that. And of course now I have it struck in my head

Peter, perhaps several of us, including me and thee, are coming at this from the wrong direction. Baffling our fellow Free Spirits should be seen as a skill, not a failure.

Yes, thank you for the video, although I didn’t recognise the song, it did encourage me to read up about the group. No bad thing.

Barbara, it's called an ' ear worm ', to remove it, think of another song to take its place ... ... ... There, I told you it would work.

Now. Now.

I was only trying to help.

Thanks Peter, the next one should be easy to guess if you know the song

I tried it out on Sheena and she got it straight away.

Must admit that I don't know whether it was released in the US, but it was a big hit over here:

Love is all I bring inna me khaki suit and ting

Probably not.

Is it Uptown Top Ranking - Althea & Donna?

jhaveman · Post by **jhaveman** » Sat Jul 29, 2017 7:05 pm

Yes it is Felton - over to you!

Peter and Barbara - in case you're wondering what this song is, I would advise against listening to it, because I find it's one of Jill's ear worms

It's a one hit wonder from the late 70s, a surprise no 1 in the UK.

Post by **CamiCrew** » Sat Jul 29, 2017 8:14 pm

Well familiar with that one, Jan, born in Kingston.

Felton got there first. And I wouldn't have remembered the singers' names. =D>

Just back from seeing Dunkirk - an incredibly tense, visceral experience. Anyway here's the next offering:

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie

Is it Land down under by Men at work?

Thanks Felton, here's the next one:

Hurry up, hurry up and wait

jhaveman · Post by **jhaveman** » Mon Jul 31, 2017 2:02 pm

Here's another line that may help - it's another late 70s song:

Cold as ice cream but still as sweet

Paul Victory · Post by **Paul Victory** » Mon Jul 31, 2017 5:32 pm

Jennifer thinks it might be Blondie.
