Re: Name that tune
Thanks Barbara. Yes, I saw Yesterday. I enjoyed it, but I wasn't mad about the ending. Not sure I could do a review without spoilers, but it reminded me how many great songs The Beatles recorded.
I was going to post a couple of lines from Back in the USSR, but I did a search on this thread and found I'd already posted those exact lines a couple of years ago (those East coast girls...). So now for something completely diffferent...
the thought of meeting you makes me weak in the knee

Re: Name that tune
Either the song is too obscure or further lyrics are needed. I'll try the latter.

Re: Name that tune
OK. Probably better to stick to singles rather than album tracks. Before I give up on this completely, it's by the Beatles and it's a track on one of their best selling albums.Paul Victory wrote: ↑Fri Aug 09, 2019 9:07 am Either the song is too obscure or further lyrics are needed.

I'll give it another 48 hours or so before posting something different.

Re: Name that tune
OK. I think I'll stick to hit singles from now on. That was Honey Pie from the White Album by the Beatles.
How about the following?
Can't you see I'm on a losing streak?

Re: Name that tune
Paul, rather than naming the tune now, I thought I would wait, and maybe come back next week, but that would not give you any satisfaction, so I decided to name it now.
Satisfaction, by the Rolling Stones.

I can't get no better answer than that, though I try and I try.

Re: Name that tune
Thanks Paul.
This next one has become sort of my theme song (unfortunately). Or at least the chorus has.
I will give it some time, and then I have a few clues in mind.
"For love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show"

Re: Name that tune
Well, I wish that someone would name this tune, but I knew that I have to Faces that, again, it may be too obscure.

Re: Name that tune
Peter, I do not recognise the lyrics but from your generous clues, is it a song by The Faces?
Guessing again but could it be I wish I knew when young what I know now or something along those lines?

Re: Name that tune
Good detective work Jill.
The lyrics to the Faces (and Rod Stewart) (and my theme) song are:
"I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger"
However, none of those words are in the title to the song.
If no one gives the correct title by Tuesday, I will declare Jill the winner. And give the title.

Re: Name that tune
I recognise the lyrics clearly but never being much of a Rod Stewart fan I don't know the title. It's not one of his major hits so as a guess from the few others I can think of - oo-la-la ??

Well it's 12:40 in the morning here, everyone else has gone to bed, and all I can think is -

Re: Name that tune
That is it, Paul.
As a follow up to how I was doing when I first posted this song, I went back in the afternoon to correct the typo.

Re: Name that tune
"Spill The Wine" is the only thing that comes to mind, but I do not think that is correct.
