That sounds like a trick question to me.

Very well done... considering the misdirection. =D>

Satisfaction?

Zoot, what misdirection?

Correct Peter back to you sir

Thank you, sir.

I guess I will use the political one:

So here's the problem, I know this song. But all I have ever heard in the chorus is:

oh daddy in Ohio

And that just sounds silly. But, that's all I've got!

No Barbara, that is not the song title.

If this were a commonly misheard song (see my Feb 6 post et sec), you might get credit. However, I fear this is your own personal mishearing! Since the song was released soon after the events that inspired the song took place at Kent State University in Ohio when you were three or four years old, you are entitled to your version.

Is it just Ohio? I'm aware the daddy part can't be correct.

Post by **Peter_S** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 7:40 pm

"Ohio" is the correct name of the song.

Since the actual chorus is "four dead in Ohio", I figured the four year old Cami heard "oh daddy in Ohio"

There is nothing funny about the National Guard shooting students. Let us hope such times do not return!

[-o<

Anyway, pick something lighter, please, Barbara.

Peter

While on the topic of misheard lyrics, who had 400 children?

I do not know any songs about basketball players.

Lucille! had 400 children and... crap in the fields! Sorry

Post by **CamiCrew** » Fri Feb 10, 2017 5:36 am

Peter I don't recall when I learned about Kent State (came to the US age six) but I do associate the song with political unrest and it was only that one line that escaped me. Agree with you it would not be good to return to protesters being shot, although the opportunities do seem to be increasing.

So... lighter? You may need to put on your thinking cap for this one

Go Forward

I hadn't heard that second variation before, but I could never get the 400 out of my head.

We sang it at the top of our lungs in the back seat of the station wagon, as kids, on New Jersey back roads. My poor dad, still feel bad he had to endure that

Here in SoCal, we have a 1/4 mile dirt racetrack next to the ocean. Jack raced stock cars two seasons there. On a Saturday night some driver would inevitably lose a wheel, and it would go bouncing across the track. The announcer would sing into the microphone "ya picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel!" It was classic. =D>

Back to the guessing - Peter do you have your hat on?

Go Forward. Move Ahead.

I think you have us totally stumped Barbara. Time for more lines or a clue?

Post by **CamiCrew** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 3:28 pm

Go forward. Move ahead. Try to detect it.

Post by **Draggon** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 4:20 pm

Aw, no clue needed - just need to visit more often...

I knew it from your first lyric and figured I would scroll down to see who had "won" it...

Whip It - Devo

Ron - "It's not too late!"

Figured it was a matter of waiting for you or Zoot to check in. Or the Jill, Richard & Ian power trifecta.

For Peter's trivia bank... Devo has a direct connection to Kent State and witnessing events that day.

And those hats! Who could not LOVE those hats!

On to you, Ron!

I had no idea... but once I got the rhythm, it was obvious.

Thanks for the trivia! (I love the hats, too!)
