Name that tune

[Wolfmiester]

Not easy for me

[Peter_S]

Nice easy one for the Bank Holiday:

Haunting notes, pizzicato strings, the rhythm is calling

Not easy for me

Me too.
And we do not even get Bank Holidays!

[plummy]

Not easy for me

Believe me Wolfie, you know this. No question. Got to No.2 in the UK

[fkoene]

Yes, very good to hear things seem to get better.

Next clue - first line:

We walked in the cold air

[Wolfmiester]

Ok, now I have it.
But still don’t recognise the first line you put up

[plummy]

Not a word that would appear in many lyrics truth be told. Care to share your answer?

[Wolfmiester]

I thought Fred might jump in...

Vienna, by Ultravox. Great track. Famous for being number 2 for several weeks whilst a novelty record stayed at number 1. We know some of you love YouTube, check out "Shutuppa ya face" (sp?)

Sorry, I'm on holiday with a very slow little responsive wifi connection which made me post my prior message in the wrong group. Should have been in the Injuries thread, also in reply to Plummy but on a very different subject

Yes - Vienna by Ultravox (lead singer being Midge Ure who, along with Bob Geldof started the whole Live Aid thing and co-wrote Do They Know it's Christmas).

Held off No.1 spot by Shaddap You Face by Joe Dolce Music Theatre (full act name) - very much to the annoyance of Mr Ure!

[Wolfmiester]

Rather surprised this one has not been used before…

“He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude“

[plummy]

New the lyric immediately - took me about 5 minutes until I think I've pinned it to "Life in the Fast Lane" - The Eagles (who were playing in Manchester last night)

[Wolfmiester]

Well done again.
Inspired by last nights concert, we were in attendance.
Just around the corner from you I know Dave, but we had to travel up and down on the night (after originally booking a hotel). Over 3hrs to do 85 miles on the way up

[plummy]

Not in attendance. Still struggling to sit comfortably for any length of time so didn't want to risk it. Saw them about 15 years ago at the same venue - incredible show.

Change of genre...here's half a line:

God bless Mother Nature,

First clues - USA female duo, early 80's (charted well around the world). Disco genre

[fkoene]

Disco and duo made me wonder:
The Weather girls with It's raining men?

Yay - well done Fred! - all yours

[fkoene]

Great, let's stay on the dance floor then, a cover version of this song was released a couple of years before the Weather Girls:

I don't want to loose
this good thing
that I've got

[webberg]

The original was Wilson Picket and Knock on Wood.

Been covered by everybody and anybody.

[fkoene]

Yeah, it's been covered numerous times. The dance version I was referring to was by Amii Stewart.
Over to you.

And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed

Clue is in the above.

Song that is everywhere at the moment.

[Wolfmiester]

Time for clues Graham…

[webberg]

First name a biblical character.

Comes from Vermont.

Recently played sold out gigs in the O2 in London

[webberg]

OK.

I'm on holiday from tomorrow so I'll tell you it's Noah Kahan and Season of the Sticks.

I think over to Wolfie.
