Name that tune

Sounds Bon-Jovi-ish or Guns and Roses - not a clue about the song title.

Paul G

Good guess Paul. It’s Bon Jovi.

Here’s the opening couple of lines.

Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano

At this stage, I have to accept that nobody knows Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi.

As Paul G came closest, I think he should put up the next song.

Paul V

That brings back memories!

Thank you Paul - it's not that often that I recognise a lyric straight away.

Paul V, I hope that they were happy ones.

I have just been watching Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth dancing to this song. Brilliant editing. Please, no googling.

More clues:

It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back

Very famous English rock group.

Well, I know it's LZ, but I've always had difficulty remembering their song titles. They're generally not as straightforward as they could be...

Ron, spot on with the name of the group. The song title consists of three words which describe a music genre. Think the fifties perhaps.

There doesn't seem to be any point in giving more clues, so the answer is Rock and Roll. As Ron was correct about it being Led Zepperlin, I will hand the baton over to him. Okay Ron, away you go.

Dear Mr Stumpy, being your senior by four years, I am willing to forgive any youngster who has stepped out of line.

In future though, please remember that women are always right ... even when they are wrong. xxxx

Ah, guess I'm up.... been afk a few days and wasn't expecting to "win"

Who knows this one?

"Nobody's putting up a fight"

Post by **Draggon** » Wed May 10, 2023 10:13 pm

Been on a golfing trip the last couple of days. Here's the preceding line. I'm sure we've all heard this song many times.

I was surprised to see it hadn't been posted here before.

"Won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives,
Nobody's putting up a fight"

One of the most successful rock & roll bands in the world, and they're still active today.

Is that the band and song title?

If so, which is which?

Ian Bee · Post by **Ian Bee** » Wed May 17, 2023 4:37 am

If it helps anyone, presume AC/DC

plummy · Post by **plummy** » Wed May 17, 2023 7:46 am

Highway to Hell? (random guess because I can kind of force fit the words into the tune as I recall it)

Post by **Draggon** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:59 pm

LoL, sorry for the misdirection, Peter. Ian had the right of it - it was a major hint as to the band name. With the band name now known and Plummy's latest super-hot guess (as in the old game, hotter is closer, colder is farther away), I'll give the opening lines to see if anyone can zero in:

I'm rolling thunder, pouring rain,
I'm coming on like a hurricane.
White lightning's flashing across the sky.
You're only young but you're gonna die.
