Re: Name that tune
More lyrics and a few clues:
It isn't you, isn't me
Search for things, that you can't see
Going blind out of reach
Somewhere in the ........
Before this American Rock Band ( 3 words make up their name ) formed in 1989, they were called Mighty Joe Young.

Re: Name that tune
It's not Suzy Q, since that would be:
I love the way you walk
I love the way you talk
I love the way you walk
I love the way you talk

Re: Name that tune
You are correct Peter, it isn’t Suzy Q.
The writer and singer of the song ( released in 1956 ) was known to occasionally change the lyrics slightly, so that sometimes he would sing:
I love the way you walk
I’m crazy ‘bout your walk
When I first heard this song ( think I was about ten or eleven ) I was hooked.

Re: Name that tune
It was Dimples - the original version was of course by John Lee Hooker - thought that my " hooked " clue might have helped.
Despite my initial optimism, I think PaulG was probably correct when he said, " I think this thread has died. " Or more like, has been given the last rites.
I'll pass on putting up another and leave it to someone else to give this thread the kiss of life.

Re: Name that tune
I think the reason this thread struggles is finding the balance between "that's way too obvious" and "I've never even heard of the band, let alone the song or the lyrics". I would suggest that if it wasn't a "hit" (and even that brings its issues as it depends which country it was/was not a "hit" in) it should be avoided. I heard this on the radio a few days ago and thought "that would be a good line, someone will get that":

I think Plummy's dead on - even after hearing the answers, I didn't recognize 3 of the last 4 songs. I knew "Smoke on the Water", but didn't recognize the lyrics quickly. I still check the thread every few days...

Re: Name that tune
Just odd looks from me....
I even Googled it and was less than satisfied with the results....
And on that note, next up:
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right

Re: Name that tune
Though I must confess I do like the song "Making Love out of Nothing At All" - though I think that was a Jim Steinman composition

Re: Name that tune
Just my "outside the UK" response, but looking at Wolfie's post, I do not know which is the title and which is the singer.
Also, jumping in late to the discussion about continuing this thread, the problem I see is not that the song maybe obscure (no one has actually used the word about some of my selections; thanks for being polite) but that when a song is not identified in a timely manner, the thread just sits there for weeks. It works better when the original poster comes back in a few days and provides more clues, and then identifies the song and tries another.

Re: Name that tune
I could "Help You Plummy (get Rhonda out of your head)".
But, this one is Fun Fun Fun ('till her daddy takes the T-Bird away).
Both by The Beachboys.
BTW, I was thinking that, considering my knowledge base, I prefer to play "name that oldie".

Re: Name that tune
I was going to post an easier (maybe?) line from this song, but then decided to use this line first. Hopefully, not too big a mistake.
