Re: Name that tune
I think I'll go ahead in anticipation of plummy confirming that's correct. Here's an oldie (even older than Sailing).

Re: Name that tune
For some reason, I was thinking about this song earlier today.
Under the Boardwalk, by the Drifters.
Looks like we will not be up on the roof or under the boardwalk soon.
We did get a delivery from the wine and liquor store today.
And Ann reached 33 million meters.

Re: Name that tune
Thanks Paul. And Ann says thank you to you, too.
We have been thinking of another song lately, but I searched and it has already been used here. So, instead, another one by the same artist. (No, not really a clue, just some mental rambling. )
"the only explanation".

Re: Name that tune
Nicely done, Peter. Your go!
Funny; I had a feeling given the genre and the age that this one would one of those "obvious to me, but stumper to others" kind of tune. Then you guess it in 5 minutes...
Link for those unfamiliar with this classic, but still apropos song:

Re: Name that tune
A well know song over here too Ron. I'd have got that one, and I'm only 55 )

Thanks Ron.

Re: Name that tune
Sorry Ron, not at all.
I was watching a late-night TV show last week, with a singer as the guest. I initially misremembered who sang the song on Sesame Street.

Re: Name that tune
That's exactly what I thought! Don't know the song though. Or if I do, don't recognise it right now.

Re: Name that tune
"I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
Thinking of you
Though oh, oh, oh,
You treat me badly
I love you madly"
"I love you and, all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Tighter, tighter"
Lots more lyrics, since I was getting worried that it would take a Miracle for someone to name this.

Re: Name that tune
Peter, thank you for the extra lyrics and the " Miracle " clue, although I should have recognised this a lot sooner.
You've really got a hold on me - ( Smokey Robinson and The Miracles )

Re: Name that tune
Congratulations Jill. It's all yours now.
I was not too worried initially, since the Beatles covered the song.
As I mentioned, Smokey Robinson sang the song on Sesame Street. I did not remember that he changed some the words for the show.

Re: Name that tune
Thank you Peter - so many happy memories of watching Sesame Street with my son, Ian. Sadly, my grammar ' ain't so hot these days ' so the link belong was of great help to me this morning.

Re: Name that tune
Some more clues - all of first verse:
Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days, long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know
Famous British rock group - the lead singer sang this as his swansong. He died shortly afterwards.

Must be Mr Bulsara then, and as a big fan I'm a little embarrassed not to recognise it first time.
