My last clue was the opening two lines of the song but as It doesn't look as if this is going anywhere, the answer is, Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who.
Paul, as you did put up a suggestion, I will nominate you to take over the baton.

Re: Name that tune
Neil Young - After the Gold Rush. Two of the first albums I ever bought were Harvest and After the Gold Rush. It's good to hear from you Paul but it isn't After The Goldrush although having just read the song's lyrics, I can see why you made that choice. :) The song ( first released in 1971 ) is by...

Re: Name that tune
Thank you Steve, it was one of those rare occasions, when I recognised the lyric straightaway, which doesn't happen very often.
Earlier today, I heard this ( I hope ) very well known song.
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed

Ok, I’ll bite… “Summer of 69” by Bryan Adams. Steve, did you hear the one about the man who was going around biting people? The police caught him mid bite. It was an open and shut case. :lol: Okay, I'll get my coat but before I go, you are of course, correct. =D> Can’t promise to keep the theme goi...

Re: Name that tune
Thank you Peter.
Yes, it can be tricky at times to come up with a song that we hope will be familiar, even if at first, the lyric evades our memory.
Still keeping to the theme:
Had a band and we tried real hard

Re: Name that tune
Peter, as I knew this straight away, I'm surprised that no one else has come up with the correct answer. Perhaps the heat has frazzled their little grey cells? Anyway, it's In The Summertime

Re: Name that tune
I immediately thought I heard I'm Still Standing in your lyrics, and I thought I heard Billy Joel singing them, but I guess the song is actually by Elton John.

Thank you Peter - If you could read my mind is on my list of timeless music, along with Wichita Lineman.
I don't know if this is though.

Re: Name that tune
s alluded to above, I really wanted to post a song by this Canadian singer/songwriter, since he died at the beginning of May. We have had several of his songs in the past on this thread, which limited me to perhaps lesser-know ones. Peter, I'm wondering if this could be Gordon Lightfoot, as I read ...

Re: Name that tune
There doesn't seem to be any point in giving more clues, so the answer is Rock and Roll. As Ron was correct about it being Led Zepperlin, I will hand the baton over to him. Okay Ron, away you go.

Re: Name that tune
Ron, spot on with the name of the group. The song title consists of three words which describe a music genre. Think the fifties perhaps.

More clues:

Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back
Very famous English rock group.

Re: Name that tune
Same response Well, no. I don't want to be petty again. We Will Rock You. Oh Peter! You are now in double trouble because not only did you know the Tom Petty song before the title was revealed, you are also correct with ' We Will Rock You '. :) =D> Can you cope with this self inflicted punishment? ...
