Name that tune

Listening to my iPod tonight, I figured it was time for a new thread. Set out a line (or less) from a song and whoever gets it first sets the next one. I'll start:

And the painting you stole from Picasso

Only one rule; no googling.

Paul V

I googled it anyway. I still have no idea who it is!

Gaahhh! I tried but I can't resist. Nice idea Paul.

And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, a rum pum pum, a rum pum pum, pum pum.

Where do you go to my lovely - Peter Sarstadt (not sure of spelling)

Ok, so (assuming I've got it right) try this:

Every time I look into your loving eyes.

Roy Orbison "You Got It!" I got it.

Next:

"Oh Mrs Ware I do like your hair. Who does it?"

Haven't a clue, but it sounds like something that either Lonnie Donegan or George Formby would sing.

Same here Bill. No idea

Bernard Cribbens - Gossip Calypso

Get off your back, go into town
Don't let us down. Oh no oh noho

Grocer Jack (but don't know who sang it - do I lose points?)

Anyway :

In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings

Led Zepp, Stairway to heaven.

Oo oo my baby, let me take you there. ( one of my fav ergin tracks)

zootMutant · Post by **zootMutant** » Sun Apr 28, 2013 2:28 pm

Did someone say "Stairway to Heaven"?

For some reason, this version with the Leningrad Cowboys and the Red Army Choir cracks me up. The hair? The outfits? The Choir? The sunglasses? I'm not sure.

Sorry for the interruption...

Kashmir, Led Zep

All my friends are as sharp as razors

Paul Victory · Post by **Paul Victory** » Mon Apr 29, 2013 11:04 pm

The only one I've recognised so far is Stairway to Heaven. Whose idea was it to start this thread, anyway?

Maybe if we restricted it to hit singles, we might have more people recognising the tunes. Ideally from the 1960s, if I'm going to have any chance of recognising them.

"Flying 'cross the desert in a TWA"

I feel I should know that one Bill, but don't!

Love the thread Paul.

Zoot, that is a great version and great video. Ashamed to say I have never heard of them!

I saw a woman walking 'cross the sand"

I confess that I don't know.

I will say that the lines I put up are from Vlad the Impaler by Kasabian.

Well done. Now you get to pick the next one.

Wolfmiester · Post by **Wolfmiester** » Thu May 09, 2013 7:22 pm

OK, my favorite lyrics are for "The Trees" by Rush. But as that would be way too obscure, try an easy one ...

"... torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike ..."

Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell
