Re: Name that tune
Well then, Shreck.
Now, was there music in those movies? Never saw them that I remember, so someone else will need to finish this one.

Re: Name that tune
Correct about Shrek, and yes, there was a theme tune in the first movie.
Opening lines:
"Somebody once told me
The world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed"

Re: Name that tune
So no takers - it seems like my musical tastes differ from that of the rest of the forum
Anyway - the track is "All Star" by Smashmouth, from the Shrek movie.
Someone else feel free to post a new tune.

Re: Name that tune
For reasons I can't figure, this song has been stuck in my head all morning and although used as a guess once, wasn't (I believe) one of the actual songs used:
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say

Re: Name that tune
Wikipedia says Canadian-American (and I didn't think that would be much of a help given no one had got the lyrics yet, so I plumped for American)

Re: Name that tune
Plumy, I certainly did not intend to upset you, and I was certainly not upset myself. However, Lynyrd Skynyrd might have been upset.

Not upset at all, just explaining my thinking process. All good here

Re: Name that tune
OK. Like plummy’s last song, this one has never featured before, but it has been guessed as a possible answer.

Second line from that verse.

Also, a clue. It’s a lesser known song from a very well known singer.

Re: Name that tune
OK, here’s the full verse.
At first I thought it a dream that I was in
Lost, lost in a sea of glass and tin
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machine

Re: Name that tune
Before I give up on this, here’s the opening verse minus the last two words, which are the name of the song.
A light shone in the night some way ahead
Blue turned into green, then it was red
And stirring the night, love music played
The light I saw in the night was a … …
The singer was an American singer-songwriter whose greatest success came in the 1960s and who died in the late 1989s.

Re: Name that tune
Paul, although I do not recognise the song and you haven't said if the singer was male or female, I'm going to go for Roy Orbison?

Re: Name that tune
Roy Orbison is correct, Jill! As nobody has guessed the song, I think you should put up the next one. https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q= ... MUa9xDiuVB
