I was looking back at page 1 of this thread…seems I was baiting people back in 2006 as well!!

Some of us are older(and hopefully wiser) and aren't falling for that one any more

Good to see you back, Mr Sims

Spot on Plummy- you’re up

OK then - it is The Night Hank Williams Came To Town - I’ll put up another “easier” one then -

Was it a tribute to his wife June Carter by any chance?

No, a fellow male C&W star.

Not Elvis I’m afraid

Paul G

Yes Paul, it is indeed Johnny Cash, and the song is a sort of tribute to another C&W star(big clue).

Paul G

Sorry Paul, the song mentions Harry Truman but no mention of Doris Day, Red China or Johnny Ray .

The song is from the 80's though - think of a genre popular around Nashville and an artist sadly no longer with us.

Paul G

Not folk , and not Woody Guthrie, I’m afraid, Peter

Thanks Paul

One for you and Peter maybe?

"Harry Truman was our president
A Coke and burger cost you thirty cents"

Paul G

Is it Dont' Cry For Me Argentina - Julie Covington?

Apologies if my post is a bit Messi

Paul G

I think that’s another oldie. Signore Sinatra singing Chicago. Perfect Paul. =D> ^O^ Lately, the secret to picking songs that can be identified here is to pick really old songs! Thanks Peter. I think you might be right. Here’s a mixture of old and topical. But nothing impressed me at all Englands W...

Thanks Peter - wrong dance partner(amongst other errors)

'Scusami, here is the next song:

"I saw a man, he danced with his wife"

Probably way off the mark but here goes:

Mr Bojangles - Neil Diamond

Phil Lynott and Gary Moore being two of the best artists in my little world.

Indeed it is - best guitar piece ever imo.

You're up, Wolfie

Paul G

Next line :

"Summer days spent outside corner cafes"

Paul, I am feeling good that you named that tune! When we heard the Michael Bublé version last week, Ann said "they will be surprised that you know modern songs". Well, the Bublé was from 2005, which for me qualifies as ultra-modern. However, the song was actually written in 1964 for the ...

Feeling Good - Nina Simone?

Paul G

Someone else feel free to post a new tune. No takers yet? Is everyone having the problem that I have - every song I think of has already been posted. :shock: Mostly by me! :oops: Here, however, is a new one: "With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue" Thanks for posting one, Peter ...

So no takers - it seems like my musical tastes differ from that of the rest of the forum

Anyway - the track is "All Star" by Smashmouth, from the Shrek movie.

Someone else feel free to post a new tune.

Paul G

Well then, Shreck . Now, was there music in those movies? Never saw them that I remember, so someone else will need to finish this one. Correct about Shrek, and yes, there was a theme tune in the first movie. Opening lines: " Somebody once told me The world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpes...

Not Back to the Future - think Pete Jain

Paul G

Time for a clue -
theme song from the first movie of a successful trilogy

Paul G

River of Dreams - Billy Joel? I was pretty sure you were correct, Paul, but per Dave's post above, I Googled the lyrics and confirmed that yes, you are correct and have the next go! :) Thanks Ron "She was looking kinda dumb With her finger and her thumb In the shape of an L on her forehead&quo...

River of Dreams - Billy Joel?

Paul G

Well done for sticking it out Rob - higher DF is not more difficult per se, but definitely will be if you are not used to it. Whatever DF you use, the marathon is a test of muscular endurance and is not easy. I can fully sympathise with your FM running experience - having done over 35 FM and beyond ...
