Re: Name that tune
Good to know I can still amaze people.
I am not sure why I was thinking about this song, but putting it here should get it out of my head. I hope.

Re: Name that tune
Sorry Ron, I thought about posting more yesterday but got distracted. I am fine, thanks.
So now, right here on this "stage", more lyrics. ( ) (The audience goes wild!)
"Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her"

Re: Name that tune
Gaah - I know that first line...Elkie Brooks sang it (or a version of it) I think but I can't think of the song title

Re: Name that tune
No - it's something to do with crying like "all cried out" or "all cry out loud" - just can't remember it properly.

Re: Name that tune
Correct, it can't be.
Elkie Brooks did cover the song, as did Shirley Bassey (and others), but the original was by Melissa Manchester.

Re: Name that tune
Plummy, I apologize, I must have missed this post while replying to Wolfie.
The song is "Don't Cry Out Loud", or, by Shirley Bassey, "We Don't Cry Out Loud".
Choose something I might know, because I will be closer to you next week (in Ireland).

Re: Name that tune
I'll put a whole verse in as I need this to go quickly as I'm away for a week from tomorrow (so actually Peter, as you get nearer to where I am now, I'll be moving further south - port by port! (nothing personal ) ):
I lose my cool when she steps in the room
And I get so excited just from her perfume
Electric eyes that you can't ignore
And passion burns you like never before

Re: Name that tune
Wow! In an instant I knew the song and the name (to paraphrase). Mostly.
I think "no more love on the run" is part of the lyrics, rather than the title, which I think is Caribbean Queen.
Was it by Billy Idol?
Bon Voyage. Which ultra mega giganto ship will you be on?

Re: Name that tune
You have the song - and almost the artist (it's Billy Ocean). but the title is what counts.

Re: Name that tune
Enjoy your cruise. We have a few in the future, but you would not consider them "ships"; no merry-go-rounds, no horse riding rinks, no mountain climbing.
Anyway, I hope this is an easy song to name, since
"When things go wrong I feel real bad.
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good."

Was the original by the Animals?

Re: Name that tune
Paul, yes twice. Correct title and originally by The Animals.
Never having heard of Santa Esmeralda, I just listened for a bit. Not horrible, but I am amazed you could recognize the lyrics from the video version I saw!

Re: Name that tune
Having grown up in 70's South Africa with its censorship etc I was brought up with a steady diet of inoffensive musical giants like Pussycat, Brotherhood of Man and the very worst of the disco era, including the aforementioned Santa Esmarelda!!!
Here's the next one - fairly easy (if you know it, of course)

Re: Name that tune
Paul, I agree that it is easy. I did not post 8 hours ago, since we will be away, and did not need another turn. So l decided to take what I need and leave the rest.

Re: Name that tune
I am tempted to say the original was by the Band, but since Paul V. is sitting across the table from me, I will not say anything.

Re: Name that tune
Correct Paul
I have both versions - as Peter S pointed out, The Band wrote the original track but I am more familiar with Joan Baez’ brilliant cover
BTW - good to see you back, even if it is only on this thread

Re: Name that tune
Paul Victory posted an easy song, on the thread he originally started, and no one wants to name it. I gave everyone a fair chance.
Paul, "Your Song" by Elton John.
