Name that tune

[Paul Victory]

Just a gigolo by Louis Prima, David Lee Roth and many others.

[Wolfmiester]

Yes Paul, well done.
We often sing along to the Louis Prima version at Christmas and Birthdays

Why??

[Wolfmiester]

Just a jolly song that my Dad loved and would get us all up singing and dancing …

[Paul Victory]

Here’s an easy one (I think).

When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine

[Peter_S]

That's Amore!

[Paul Victory]

That's Amore!

Figured that wouldn’t last long! That song was written/recorded the year I was born. When the moon hits your eye…

Over to you!

[Peter_S]

Thank you, signore!

'Scusami, here is the next song:

"I saw a man, he danced with his wife"

[paulgould]

Thank you, signore!

'Scusami, here is the next song:

"I saw a man, he danced with his wife"

Probably way off the mark but here goes:

Mr Bojangles - Neil Diamond

[Peter_S]

Correct Paul, way off the mark!

Mr. Bojangles (written by Jerry Jeff Walker, I believe) danced for you. Not sure if he had a wife, but he travelled about with his dog.

Thanks Peter - wrong dance partner(amongst other errors)

I think that’s another oldie. Signore Sinatra singing Chicago.

Perfect Paul.

Lately, the secret to picking songs that can be identified here is to pick really old songs!

Thanks Peter. I think you might be right.

Here’s a mixture of old and topical.

But nothing impressed me at all

Close, but no cigar!

[Peter_S]

This just came to mind. It might even be correct!

'Till There Was You.

[Paul Victory]

'Till There Was You.

Good guess. But no.

Here’s the next line.

But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

[J-Dog]

It's Abba something...

The winner takes it all??

J-Dog

Sorry, not Abba.

But there may be a connection (of sorts) between your guess and the title of the song.

[paulgould]

Is it Dont' Cry For Me Argentina - Julie Covington?

Apologies if my post is a bit Messi

Indeed it is! I thought it appropriate to come up with a World Cup themed song.

[paulgould]

Thanks Paul

One for you and Peter maybe?

"Harry Truman was our president
A Coke and burger cost you thirty cents"

Paul G

I was born during the Truman presidency, but do not remember him!

I think a burger (with fries) and a coke was 75 cents when I was in Junior High School.

All that being said, no idea about a song with those lyrics. It does seem like something 1960's folk singers might have written, or perhaps Woody Guthrie.

[paulgould]

Not folk , and not Woody Guthrie, I’m afraid, Peter
