Once again...time to play Name That 70's or 80's Song Lyric Game!!!

[Common Sense Party]

Last edited Fri Mar 15, 2013, 03:49 PM - Edit history (1)

{Update: You have to go to the bottom of the thread...most of the clues in the middle have been guessed by now.}

Rules:

Post a line or two or three from a fairly well-known song from the 70's or 80's. Usually these are pop & rock songs; other genres are fine if the song is well-known. Use your best judgment.

Don't try to post something too obscure. This isn't to impress us with your arcane knowledge of Bulgarian early-80's rap. It's to get people to rack their brains trying to remember where they heard those lyrics before.

Other DUers try to guess the song. If you guess the song, try to post a link to the youtube video of the song.

Guessers: NO GOOGLING! You either know it or you don't. Let someone else guess. After a while you can ask the lyric poster for a hint.

What's the matter with [this band?]

All we are is dust...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

172. Your hint suggests it's a tune by Kansas

I seem to recall a tune by them with those lyrics but I can't remember the title.

[Common Sense Party]

184. Yes.

Once you get there, there's "know" coming back.

[raccoon]

304. Dust in the Wind is the title. "all we are is dust in the wind." nt

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

307. Yeah, I got that

But that was the hint, not the tune of the posted lyrics.

[ms liberty]

Making every man a man
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no one else had

If you're ready to take that long walk

[lame54]

I was thinking Judas Priest. Way off.

[yewberry]

David Byrne's got an unusual phrasing style, so it's a little harder to pick up, I think?

[MH1]

57. Sprung from cages out on Highway 9

And steppin' out over the line ...



(This is the first time I've played this game .... hope I'm not making it too easy ...)

Instead of a test in Senior year Spanish, we opted to translate and perform three songs in front of the class.

Salta! was one of them.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

92. easy one

at least for me. I always liked that short riff Van Halen plays right after that lyric.

[malthaussen]

94. Well, it could be "Little Queenie," except for the first word...

Which Chuck covered with Keith Richards during the period under question. Standing by the record machine is a common conceit.

Of course, it's already been identified as Van Halen.

-- Mal

[malthaussen]

90. "She's got a purse that was made in Mexico

A mind that was made for love.
She's got a new way of dancin' slow
She knows what you're thinking of."

Good job.
