Re: Name that tune
Pretty sure that is Hotel California.
Various versions of course other than the Eagles.
Good version from Passenger.
Once heard Green Day sing this in a gig as well.

Re: Name that tune
Pretty sure you are correct Graham! The band doesn't matter but I'm only aware of the Eagles version..

I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi
I've seen the bridges of the world and they're for real
Sticking with the 70's (1974) and the sort of Glam Rock vibe.

Can't believe I didn't get Hotel California immediately
For this one Graham I have the 'Mississippi' line going over in my head. Possibly Journey, or the one ballad Slade did...

Re: Name that tune
ok, sorry.
Well known in the UK I'm sure, it's 'Don't get me wrong' by the Pretenders.

Re: Name that tune
I remember the song all right, but those words didn’t ring a bell. Probably a bit too recent for me.

Re: Name that tune
Paul, there is a song "Go Go Go Who's Next?" by Hip Hop Harry. Perhaps that is what Grahame meant? I googled it, so I am disqualified from having to go next.
