Song titlesHere you go....a new quizz for you lot  guess the song title from the first/second line of a song.
An easy one to start you off 
I've seen you twice
In a short time.
|
Lin Dyke
|
Abba, "Name of the Game"
Next one...
"like a drunk in a midnight choir"
|
Ghilliegumdrop
|
Is that the first line Lin  Because if it is I have no idea 
|
eddieh
|
I think Lin must have misunderstood, as I did, the idea. That appears to be the second line. The first is the title.
|
Ghilliegumdrop
|
So....perhaps we will remove that one and start again with the first line of a song
I'm leaning on a lamp, maybe you think, I look a tramp.............
|
doganjo
|
That was Herman, wasn't it? And George Formby too!
song title same as first line? Leaning on a lamp post
|
Ghilliegumdrop
|
So where's your song line then
|
Jim
|
Here's one to get you going
"The Piano has been drinking"
And yes it is the first line
|
Ghilliegumdrop
|
The piano has been drinking, not me....by Tom Waits
Its supposed to be the first line not the title
|
Jim
|
As I Said it is the first line
But a really good one, its on you tube as well
Jan too many songs have the first line as the title
especially from our era 
Beatles she loves you yeah yeah yeah example
perhaps just lyrics taken from anywhere..... might work better
|
Jim
|
Didnt know what time it was the lights were low
this is the first line but its too easy
|
Jim
|
WHEN I FIND MYSELF IN TIMES OF TROUBLE
another easy one
you may have guessed by now one of my hobbies is music
all types the whole spectrum but lin says that should be on another thred
|
Jim
|
"Please allow me to introduce myself"
Lin says I'm highjacking the game so I've got to stop and as always I'll do as I'm told 
|
Jim
|
but I've got one more
"All our times have come"
yes it's a first line
|
doganjo
|
Don't fear the Reaper
|
Jim
|
and I thought that would be the more difficult of the three
Blue Oyster Cult
|
Jim

Spring was never waiting for us, girl

How about "And if one day I should become"
|
doganjo
|
Isn't Google wonderful?
And if one day I should become
A singer with a Spanish bum
Who sings for women of great virtue
I'd sing to them with a guitar
I'd borrow from a coffee bar
- Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you
My name would be Antonio
And all my bridges I would burn
And when I sang a song they'd know
I'd expect something in return...
I'd have to get drunk every night
And talk about virility
With some old grandmother who might
Be decked out like a Christmas tree
And no pink elephants I would see
Though I'd be drunk as I can be
Still I would sing my song to me
About the time they called me Jackie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
|
Jim
|
Ah the brilliant Jaques Brel
but I assume the version we're talking about is Scott Walker's cover
