Patrick, you have found your second calling here!! HA, I couldn't figure even one of them out.
Seriously I am terrible at this type of stuff. I love music too, but seeing it in words instead of song throws me off some.
I'm with Kallen. I don't recognize any of these without a melody.
Gosh Larry, my brain must be froze. I recognize the lyrics for #30 only as a song by the Doobie Brothers, but can't even remember enough of them to figure out the title.
Where's Lynne?? She'll save us!
(Oh yeah, I recognized Maneater too, but Patrick already got that one)
I do awful on this but a couple came through:
(4) Christmastime is Here from A Charlie Brown's Christmas by Vince Guaraldi (spelling?)
(6) Happy Days are Here Again. I like Barbra Streisand's version in her early career
Patrick-I figured you would do well with the Billy Joel but you did well with the 80's stuff too. Way to go!
Kallen 305-There are a lot of people that have a tough time with this game while others seem to be naturals at it.-just one of those things.
Patrice-I would do melody only if I could figure an efficient way to do it.
Ruthie J-You are correct-number 30 will now turn from blue to grey with a partial answer.
Zen-Very good!
Came back for more punishment. #7 and #28 are driving me crazy but I figured #21 - Wonderful Christmas Time by Wings/Paul McCartney.
I'm late to the party!!!
7. Doctor My Eyes/Jackson Browne
8. Poke Salad Annie/?
26. Forever Young/ Springsteen
28. Groovin'/ the Rascals
29. Boy Named Sue/Johnny Cash
30. Black Water/Doobie Brothers
I think I was a country music fan in the 80's....
#8. Polk Salad Annie
Oops. Tony Joe White sang and wrote "Poke" Salad Annie. #8
#26. Forever Young, by Bob Dylan
Zen-You are correct on number 21!
Lynne-All correct-except 26 was Dylan.I'm glad you showed up to show that this can be done-I was getting roughed up by the crowd!
Greg-Good job on number 8.-My wife came up with that one-I didn't remember that song. Also good job with the Artist on number 26.
Here's a few clues for the rest:
1)-Think Motown-this was a fairly popular tune.
2)This gravelly voiced singer-band same a snickname for Coors lite.
9)Band popular in 60's-singer had a deepish gritty voice.
13)-modern country
14 +15-modern rock
17)60-70's British rock supergroup.
18)Oprah keeps bringinging this lady back on her show to perform.
22)I can't rally give a clue for this Christmas somg-a little more rocking than most I guess.
23)For the name of the group-see previous post.
I can't shed any light on the unknowns, I'm afraid. Never was into Motown, country, etc. I'll guess "Cream" for #17, but that's a totally wild guess.
1. I Second that Emotion, Smoky Robinson and the Miracles
22. Run, Rudolph, Run Muppets?
9. Please Don't Let me be misunderstood? The Animals? Cat Stevens covered it in his Yushof CD.
Am I aging myself here?
Larry, can you attach a melody with the lyrics? LOL! I'm glad Lynne knows her songs...
Lana-I'll add some Pink Floydish type stuff next time.
Greg-1)correct 22)correct but Chuck berry was most famous for it.It was written by Johnny Marks and Mark Brodie. 9) correct.-3 for 3 very good!
Mary-I should do a survey some time of what people are most familiar with.
Kinda late to the party, but here's what I've got:
15. Highway to Hell? -- AC/DC
18. Nutbush City Limits --Tina Turner
23. I Ran -- Flock of Seagulls
dzugman-Not too late though.-right on number 18 and number 23!
