Apologies. I strayed away from the agreed hit singles only approach.strider77 wrote:No idea Paul-a clue please ?
This is a much loved album track from a band that was not totally unrelated to the answer to the previous question.
The opening line of the song was:
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
Paul

Re: Name that tune
Ah that explains it Zoot-in the song it is Colitas ( Marijuana stubs)-colitis is something quite different
The Eagles-Hotel California
Assuming that is correct how about this

Re: Name that tune
OK. That was a lucky guess. I didn't recognise the words but it sounded as if it would fit the rhythm and cadence of that song.zootMutant wrote:You got it, Paul! =D>Paul Victory wrote:D*mn. I knew the previous two, but that one has me. (Unless it's Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry)
How about this one:

Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show

I disqualified myself by listening to Elton John's "Greatest Hits" CD. Good song; great CD!

Re: Name that tune
Oooh! I know this one.
Everybody wants to rule the world. Tears for Fears. Saw them in Paris in (ahem ) 1985
So,
Everybody sees it, why can't I see too?
Everybody loves it though it's a thumbscrew,
Everybody needs it, it turns your veins blue.
Everybody tellin' me to saddle my C2.
(Ok. I made that one up).
Try this
And we can dress real neat from our hands to our feet
and surprise them with a victory cry.

Re: Name that tune
I can remember the song, but I can't remember the title or the name of the band who performed it. I think they were one hit wonders. Was it called the victory dance or something like that?

Re: Name that tune
Are you thinking "The Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats? Not sure it's that - but do I get a point for thinking what you are or might be thinking Paul?Paul Victory wrote:I can remember the song, but I can't remember the title or the name of the band who performed it.

Re: Name that tune
I never would have got that without Paul's thinking...
OK - next:
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
(we are talking the 70's here if anyone needs a clue)
