Yep! the best line ever written.

It seems that Orin appears mostly when someone needs informations, and always with answers. Thanks, you've been a great help.

Bravo heres another

Orin I am impressed!!!!!!!!!!!!

No 4:

Can't keep his mind on nothin else
He'd change the world for the good thing he's found
If she is bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down..........................

When your in love with a beautiful women
by Dr Hook!

I'm bound to slip up soon

.... *changes Orin's bookmark from Lyrics & cheat sheet.com to elevatorhydraulics.com*

Nope orin not Dr Hook..anyone else want a go?

Hint it is a classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When a Man Loves a Woman by Percy Sledge

OKAY GUYS.... I got one. Name this song!!!
"This is the song that doesn't end, it just goes on and on my friend...... some people started singing it not knowing what it was and .........."

they'll continue singing it forever just because this is the song that doesn't end.
I heard that song once on some kids show...where in the heck did that song ever come from anyway?! haha

*Aims flamethrower carefully at the singers of this totally annoying song*

Sorry Mighty beyond me but here is another classic....hey Maguire spot on with percy sledge!!!!!!

He blesses the boys as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine
Hes there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted............

here's one ... (probably only 2 others around here that would get this one??... without searches, anyway?)

I left my heart to the sappers round, khe sanh

And I sold my soul and my cigarettes to the black market man

Sky Pilot by the animals.

Awww Ludd, I think some of the others are peeved, poor things. Will I just go and leave them all to it?

Orin, you're not piking out on my lines, are'ya?

Come on Lacie, that probably didn't get airplay anywhere but Aus. Is the title Khe Sanh? Just a guess

Must have the same record collection.

Anything with a reference to Alan Price or Bryan Ferry and the chances are I'll know it Ludd, and I thought everyone knew Wichita Lineman.

Goodness! I'm not taking the hump Lacie.
I might have to put a smiley face on the end of each posting, I don't transcribe very well : )

"It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going"

okay Orin here goes:

If you have a friend on whom you think you can rely...........
If youve found the reason to live on and not to die..........
preachers and poets and scho;ars dont know it
temples and statues and steeples dont show it
if youve got the secret just ry not to blow it


Lacie not vietnam by reg lindsay?

sounds neil youngish must work on that one orin
hey next time I am in strabane you can buy me a pint or twelve!!!!!

Lucky Man!

He's a better musician than actor though!

Cold Chisel. I wasn't trying to be cyrtic

http://www.coldchisel.com.au/

Ludd, I think your comment was crass.

Orin, 'taking the hump' may mean something different to you that it does to me. Lets hope so *s*.

Shall the rest of us mere mortals leave Orin and Ludd 'to it' ? judging from the quote "Awww Ludd, I think some of the others are peeved, poor things. Will I just go and leave them all to it? "

Mac, sure .. sure ... #1 sons said the same as I posted it ... ''they will guess ....'' .. BUT have you listend to the song? .. Might be worth your while.

anger effects ones typing.

The singers from Durham.
Been mentioned here already.

12 pints if you get it!

Are Mcguire and Lacie in Oz?

Dorothy and Toto live in Oz

Is it INXS?

Which comment was crass guessing your song wrong or touting for a pint from orin?
Anger efects your typing... maybe you get angry because you grab the occassional wrong end of the stick.
I posted for a bit of fun and orin has got into it what is your problem?

Okay so some guy asking about love generates anger and even some necesary deletions

Guessing song lyrics generates anger and comments

This message board I thought was for fun and a bit of musing about meanings etc
Guess I was wrong or is it that some things are okay for some and not for others

Exit stage wrong............

Can only guess Fionns song
The never ending song from the Lampchop show
you were so close now everybody sing
This is the song that never ends .....it goes on and on my friends .......adding a memory(history)
remember the email that never ended forward to all
from the Mighty Fionn *LOL* somebody startied sending it not knowing where it end *LOL*

"It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going"

More than this by Roxy
Music

"I sat me down to write a simple story that maybe in the end became a song
In trying to find the words which might begin it I found these were the thoughts I brought along
At first I took my way to be an anchor
I gathered up my fears to bide me round
But then I clearly saw my own delusion
and found my struggles fell above me down
In starting out I thought to go exploring and set my foot upon the nearest road
In vain I looked to find the promised journey but only saw how far I was from home
In searching I forsook the paths of learning
and sought instead to find some pirates gold
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me but still no hidden truths did I unfold
I sat me down to write a simple story which maybe in the end became a song
the words have all been writ by one before me
wer'e taking time to try to pass them on
wer'e taking time to try to pass them on"

Hers a hint the album was a rather saline hund

What's a saline hund? Is that a cracker?
Thanks Lacie, I will try to give it a listen...

Hurry up, get along, be on your way
But make sure that you're certain
It's not the wrong day
Punctual people are lost in their plight
To become unprecentated
When they arrive...

http://www.procolharum.com/w/w0310.htm
I'm sorry because I don't know the song, maybe the one who should answer is supposed to at least have listened to it. But couldn't help myself, had fun in doing the research at the bank...*s*

Is the album called 'A Salty Dog'
If it is I haven't got it, or heard it for that matter.

And I haven't a clue about Mcguires either.

Don't be gettin' too obscure now, or I will start listing songs by virtuoso electric spoons player, Finbar O'Bollocks.

Do we get more clues?

The song is called "Pilgrims Progress"...
Okay now, there's a song I heard about 3 times only when a kid, I don't know the title only the chorus and hardly... If someone can help, I'd appreciate..Here it is: 'she's been living in the night in another place and(or) time, she knew he(she) had to die, waiting for her lover trying not to cry, Camelote(I think she says Camelote...)
Eventhough I think it's rather hopeless,but thanks for those who'll try anyway

That was the show Pegs! haha

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right on Rolan and Orin.
Album is Salty Dog -procol harum- Pilgrims Progress is the track
A wonderful album and wonderful song you can get from AG when working again
obscure possibly but liked sharing the lyrics as love it and is set to haunting organ ala whiter shade of pale
got me beat rolan but I will try

Working again? I hope... *sigh*

flamethrowing guest, now who could you be? could it be daryl? he seems to get annoyed very easily
and has used that term before.

Okay, another clue on the song...
It was a California band, the album was done in 1975 on Warner Brothers and the title of the song is the next line after what was written above. The name of the band begins with an "A" and it is only one word which means nectar of the gods in Greek. *LMAO* How's that for a pack of clues?

Ignore that comment by the guest Daryl *LOL*

Before each night is done
Their plan will be unfurled
By the dawning of the sun
They'll take over the world

Pinky and the Brain's theme

But how can words express
the feeling of sunlight in the morning in the hills,
away from city strife

ambrosia???

Hey Orin sat glued to roxys greatest hits not realising you gave the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey I realised I missed a compliment I been promoted to crass hey i used to be vulgar!!!!!!!!!
Those etiquette classes really work........
Don't worry about the Oz crack I know lots of people who use the Oz tag and enjoy it different strokes etc..........

I never actually considered the spelling before.
Suppose 'Aussie' should have been a clue though.

If you keep up the etiquette classes, you might achieve rude status soon.
I seem to be stuck on downright offensive still.
Apologies to Lacie, I wasn't trying to stir it, promise, no hard feeling.

Shamrock! is it a Don McClean track, someone here thinks it is but can't put a name to it.

Still don't know Mcguires.

Yes I keep goin to the classes but being slung out for giving cheek to the teacher.......
soory miss won't do it again.........
guess who miss is?????????

That's the band Ludd

Haven't heard of them are they at all jefferson airplane like could get some from WINMX ?

Ambrosia..... "You're The Only Woman"
Awesome Vocals - wun of my favs *s*

Ambrosia is not really like JA. More sophisticated. Somewhere between Genesis and jazz. The first album is the best and it is on disk.

All kinds of sadness I've left behind me
Many's the day when I have done wrong
But I'll be yours for ever and ever
Climb in the saddle and whistle along...
I wonder if you remember this one. Most probably you do *s*, not that I know the lyrics, but I love the song, so checked the text out...

Orin, close enough! It's "Castles in the Air" by Don McLean...

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

J.M.

Both sides now by Joanie Mitchell

a fellow canuck

I've always enjoyed her works,
she has a way with the lyrics
and setting the mood...

We love you Joni Mitchell!

Pinky!

I saw her in a club, years ago in Sydney .. something special!!

Ok Ok Here is a change J Mitchell words guess the album:

"You don't like weak women you get bored so quick
You don't like strong women cause they're hip to your tricks"

Can someone help me with a lyric?
Jackson Browne Take it easy
At the start does he have seven women on his mind or several women?
Thanks

I thought it was an Eagles song Ludd.
It's seven.

yea he does it on Everyman album does that pre date eagles?
thanks 7 sounds right

Seven, because he adds them up...
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me, one says she's a friend of mine...
4+2+1=7

Nice work professor McGuire *s* - now can you explain pi?

*Whispers to Wun, he used a calculator*

I have heard that J Browne has an ego to match his bank balance but 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He wishes! I bet he's really referring to, 4 Aunts, his sisters and his Mum

the joni mitchell song was from the for the roses album just in case anyone is wondering

That might be a bit difficult, unless you copy and paste...and 'search' but it was a hit in Lebanon, and I still like the singer...
"My love is in league with the freeway
It's passion will ride, as the cities fly by
And the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of night
And the questions in thousands take flight"

*hangs head*
She's right, I did use a calculator...

Well they say that pi are square, but everybody knows that pie are round...

*Ducks incoming tomatoes*

Here's one:

''Well my dog died just yesterday
and left me all alone.
The finance company dropped by today
and repossessed my home
But that's just a drop in the bucket
compared to losing you...
and...(title line)''

well Rolan, I believe that's a Robert Plant song, but the title escapes me...so I guess no doorprize for me, eh?

The title is in fact a reference to Roberts and Zeppelins rather dubious reputation for groupies, orgies and general depravity. He thought it would be funny to title his first solo ballad 'Big Log'.

O well..

Hey guys, this is a nice one, probably you recall *s*.

'And one day when the oil barons have all dripped dry
and the nights are seen to draw colder,
They'll beg for your strength, your gentle power,
your noble grace and your bearing.
And you'll strain once again to the sound of the gulls
in the wake of the deep plough, sharing'

"It's Not Easy Bein' Green" (lyrics by Joe Rapposo)

It's not that easy bein' green;
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold-
or something much more colorful like that.

It's not easy bein' green.
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things.
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water- or stars in the sky.

But green's the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why? Wonder,
I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be.

Wunce upon a time there was a Princess.....

It was down the glen one easter morn.........

Here's one for y'all...

"In these days of cool reflection
You come to me and everything seems alright
In these days of cold affections
You sit by me - and everything's fine"

*smiles to self....smugly....*

I move myself and my family inside
If we happen to be left out alive...

What's the song and Who was the band?

we are getting lots of questions and fewer answers..bit like a certain moody blues album?????????

Who is the clue...

going mobile......whos next?

Close, but not quite

fooled me *L* hope I don't get fooled again

''...She opened up a book of poems and handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet from the fifteenth century
And every one of them words rang true and glowed like burning coals
Pouring off of every page
like it was written in my soul
from me to you...''

Sounds like Bob Zimmerman to me..........

Tryin' To Love You Blues...Bob Dylan

shelter from the storm, from blood on the tracks

I can still recall that wheat fields of St. Paul
And the mornin' we got caught robbin' from an old hen
Old McDonald made us work, but then he paid us for what it was
worth
Another tank of gas and back on the road again

oops, it was tangled up in blue not shelter from the storm , fooled me again *L*

Me and You and a Dog Named Blue
Not gonna leave my name and admit I knew that one *L*

I mean a Dog Named Boo

Heres one strictly for aussies of a certain generation:

" you know who you're pickin...no whom I pickin...norm said you find out......."

ummmm bit obscure ludd.
Heres an americam classic:

" 3am its me again you wouldnt know....
did my best perfect guest knew when to go perfect you knew when to stay.........
I been waiting just for you what can..........."

Hey Ludd, remember that one???

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

I saw Jesus on the cross
On a hill called Galilee.
"Don't you hate mankind, for what they've done to you?"
-- "Talk to me of love, not hate, the hour is getting late, I've so little time, -- and I'm only passin' through.

men at work rolan good one!!!!!!!!!

Leonard Cohen;
"Passing Through"...

Ludd,..."Don't you ever let a chance go by"...oh lord, don't you ever let a chance go by...

Can't think who sings it tho...???

Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said

go ahead and hate your neighbor
go ahead and cheat a friend
do it in the name of heaven
you can justify it in the end
on the bloody morning after
one tin soldier rides away
______________

tell me why you're crying my son?
can you see what mankind has done
is it the thunder in the distance you hear?
will it help if i stay very near?

You want more money, of course I don't mind

To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes

And the public gets what the public wants

But I want nothing this society's got

Theme song from Billy Jack?

*Takes careful aim at muskrat, looks around to make sure nobody from PETA is watching, fires and drops the little bugger*

Hey Chani, I just downloaded the song, nice one *g*

''Step up and shake the hand of
someone you can't stand...
...you can tolerate him if you try.''

"I heard a music in me
I heard a sound inside
I heard a man remind me
Of what lives inside..."

Going Underground, that's the song's title I think...

Good man Rolan!
It's by The Jam.

Celt... that's National Brotherhood Week--Tom Lehrer

*S* You win the cigar, Indigo...*L* It is indeed.

''But during National Brotherhood Week...
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark are dancing cheek to cheek...
Be nice to people who are inferior to you
It's only for a week so have no fear,
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year''

Well the Catholics, hate the Protestants and the Protestants, hate the Catholics...I remember that song. Are we stooping to new lows here? *LOL*

You know my girl just called me up
And she woke me from my sleep
You should have heard the things she said
You know she hurt my feelings deep.
I'm gonna buy me a dog

T.B. & B.H.

the monkees?

yeah Mac I guess Tom Lehrer is pretty low...he even titled an album "An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer" ;)
I shall try to post a somewhat higher class song next time LLL

Don't want to wake up alone anymore
Still believing you'll walk through my door
All I need is to know it's for sure
Then I'll give...

She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy...

daddy was cop , in the east side of the city
back in the usa,back in the bad old days

Ooh...ooh...I think I know that one...ooh....

The Night Chicago died....ummmmm....by....???something Lace...

That's it...Lacie sang it...Ha!

Funny, I've been there
And you've been here
And we ain't had no time to drink that beer

It's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog,
All gone for beer and tobacco.
Spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
And across the western ocean I must wander

''...Barley wine, pink gin, he'll drink anything
Port, merlot or tequila...
Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks
as long as all his troubles disappear...''

Cheers, Cheers to old (insert your town/school name here)high! /You bring the whiskey, I'll bring the rye.../Stand up freshman all for gin, /but don't let the sober sophmores in.../ Juniors will stagger,/ Seniors will fall... /we'll sober up on pure alcohol.../ while our loyal faculty lies drunk on the ballroom floor..../ More beer!

we are brave, we are bold
for the liquor we can hold,
in the cellars of old (school name)
and its guzzle guzzle guzzle
as the beer goes down the muzzle
in the cellars of old (school name)
and if (principle) should appear
say (principle) have a beer
in the cellars of old (school name).
Not sure what they teach kids these days *G*

who knows..............

Please take a look at the new TOPIC, "The British Invasion" under The Mighty Fionns message board.

Jaysus!!!! Sensory overload! Can we get organized here or are we all partaking of the chaos theory?

Here's a song... any takers? (Hint: It's country)

"...you gotta know when to fold up...know when to hold up...know when to walk away... know when to run...you never count your money when your sittin at the table there'll be time enough for countin when the dealin's done..."

if you could read my mind ..........

you might just slap my face..........
(alternate ending...lol)

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell .....

Better still ...................

Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Chorus:
Can I just have one a' more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide

Chorus

Repeat 1st Verse

One more Moondance with you in the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la in the moonlight
On a magic night
Can't I just have one more dance with you my love

*smile* ...

who did that?

Van Morrison

Speaking of old classics, last week I found at the library a CD of Bob Dylan's very first album from 1962. Man!!! A fantastic debut from a 21 year old baby-faced Dylan...how did I miss ever hearing that LP all these years? Probably the cheesy cover photo...*g*

"Heaven please
send to all mankind
Understanding
and peace of mind
And if it's not asking too much...
please---------(title)-------"

name that song...and bonus points for the original singer/composer!

PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE TO LOVE
by Percy Mayfield
performed by Joe Williams with Count Basie band (~1950-1952)

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!

You can take all the tea in China,

Sail it right around the seven oceans,

Now, are you happy!?!? No more of that stupid song, please?!!
*LMAO*

Iv'e just been to the Canary Islands for 2 weeks!
I travelled by method of modern aviation, and therefore had no reason to use a use a canoe.

Guest gets the bonus points for Percy Mayfield...but did he know it before doing a web search, I wonder...*S*

Well guest guessed my country song. Lud, is that another country song.... Sing Along by Rodney Atkins?

I am stuck on _________ brand cause __________ stuck on me...........................

Or how about.......
My bologna has a first name it's _ _ _ _ _, my bolgogna has a second name it's, _ _ _ _ _

And my all time favorite,
800 325 3535

Now dems are classics !! I'll wager a dozen of Indy's Smithwick's that no one can get all 3 songs!

I know the first two, but not the third... and you'll have to arm wrestle me for the Smithwick's...*lol*

Prolly a local Joisey Commoishee-al on da 800 thingie

The third sounds like one of those latenight TV carpet commercials...a local thing...in Chicago we grew up with one sung in a deep baritone voice:''Hudson three two seven-HUNDRED!'' *g*

Okay so the third one may be tough..... but no one has answered what the first two are. The last one was a commercial for Sheraton Hotels back in the 80's. I believe it was a very popular NATIONAL commercial. Yeah they had some kinda chime that they sang the #. Funny thing is I just called it and it still works!! SOOooooo..... what're the first 2?

Ok, Ok... I'll answer... *clears throat*
"I am stuck on band-aid brand, cause band-aids stuck on me..." and the ever-popular...
"My bologna has a first name...It's OSCAR, my bologna has a second name it's MAYER...OHHH I love to eat it everyday, and if you ask me why I'll sayyyyyyyy..... Cuz Oscar Mayer has a way with BOLOGNA!!!!!!!
There...Done. Do I get to keep my Smithwick's Fionn??

Somebody had to fill in the blanks...

stop all this or I will start to sing Muskrat Love again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's just all go have a pint of Smithwick's...!

A Pint of Smithwicks? Only if you can name THIS SONG!!
"Hey little woman please make up your mind you've got to get into my world and leave your world behind"
Name the song and artist please?
Hint.... it's up there with Muskrat Love

Who recorded the most James Bond movie theme songs, and which songs and movies were they?

Insaneous Rodentus!

It figures you'd know it Derm if its up there with muskrat love

Oh my God Fionn----It was Bobby Sherman who sang it...name of the song?? Little Woman?

And the bond themes... I'm betting on Shirley Bassey as the vocalist... but all the movies?? I wouldn't have a chance of getting them all... Goldfinger for sure...and Diamonds are forever...

Dave? *wonders if it's Shaunery's Dave*
HHhhmm...... well anyway...... I'm real ashamed to admit that I knew that song as a child. And I am even more sorry that Indy wins again. Especially since she won't accept any of the prizes!!! *shrugs* What's a fellah to do?

AND..... just one more thing, why do we have anonymous guests here anyway? No one should be allowed to post without using a real name. After all, if you were in a room with someone would you like it if the person you were talking to had a paper bag on their head? NO WAY RIGHT? I mean like, isn't this downright rude?? Accasbel, can't we get an option to ignore all posts by anonymous guests? Maybe that'd make people be polite. Maybe we should vote in a Tir Law? Yeah..... that's the trick..... A TIR LAW to banish anonymous boogy people. Or at the very least, IGNORE and not see any posts by Unidentified Flying Guests.

You have the option to ignore us all. Just click start, then shut down

Well I don,t want to sound like too risque but anonymous encounters can be qute exciting mightyfionn.........................

Every post is sort-of anonymous.
Without actually meeting people, we don't know who's really behind any of the names here.
We can guess. We can get a feeling.
We can't know for sure.

However, using 'guest' or using more than one name in order to make insulting or smartass remarks is bad manners, at the least.

The best 'law' that I can suggest is a law that each one of us can apply for ourselves.
Ignore anonymous/insulting/troublemaking posts.
Such posts belittle the poster, and not the reader.

Well Lord knows some of my posts have been ignored and attacked over the years ..... he he he he ..... but at least I never acted cowardly by being anonymous. Okay, so I can see how popular this topic is. Soooo folks, what's the weather like? *ducks the impending onslaught of guests*

Ludd,
care to share the excitement?

What's the next song?

I'm ashamed to admit I knew that song as a kid too mightyfionn... *lol* What a blast from the past... Where's my Smithwick's...hummm???
(I know, I know... In Ireland...*sigh*) *wonders how much it'd cost to bring a keg back with her...?*(It could be at the concession stand at the Rock~N~Fionn show...)

"It's like living in a nightmare,
Like looking in the blackest hole,
Like standin on the edge of nothing,
Completely out of control..."

Song name and Artist please...
Hint: ________ ________ is God.

Must be Clapton, but I don't know the song....arrrgh

Cool Celt! 10/10 for the Artist guessing the Artist!...and the song is __________.

Broken Heart

Sheesh, I just reread this message board and it WORE ME OUT!!!

...oh yeah, and Fionn, I have Sign In Name for you if you ever need an anonymous one...
How does this sound:

"Bull-In-A-China-Closet"


*sweetly smiles*

The day began with a rainbow in the sand
As I cycled into Kerry
Cattle grazing on a steep hillside
Looked well fed well balanced
Close to the edge........

Wun, the ll's in BULL next to the I in IN would drive me crazy so although the name MAY BE appropriate I don't think it'll work. I may however consider other variations of your idea. In the meantime, I think I'll just behave immediately after I tell that GUEST off. HEY YOU, GUEST !!! Yeah I'ma talkina to youa.... "What's Your Beef JERKY??? " You wanda piece a me? C'mon you lousy piece of @#$% cause I wanna piece of you !!! (especially if you have great legs or a nice butt) SO COME ON MAN, Let's walk the walk if we're gonna talk the talk!!
(psst.... Wun, how do I sound, TOUGH?)

You thought Raging Bull was tough? Wait till you dance with Gracious Bull!! *quickly grabs his boxing gloves and tutu* (spelling?) C'mon.... put em up...... put em up...... *dances around Tir duckin and jabbin*

Brings to mind an old Simon and Garfunkle song somehow.... NAME THAT SONG!! Hehehe!

The Boxer

I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my existence for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest mmmm...mmmm...

When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers...
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

Li la li... li la la la li la li
Li la li... li la la la li la li
La la la la li...

I have just broken a golden rule and deliberately bought an album on CD that I already have on tape................

Hey Orin I met a girl from Strabane who let me go as far as Killybeggs on our first date ...

She had a tattoo of the boat she had moored there...
I can't tell you where the tatto was thou...blush...

Aye! It seems most Strabane girls are willing to go as far as Donegal on the first date.

Okay ~ here's an oldie but one of my personal favs...

"Oh my love.....you're like a precious stone,
Part of Earth...where heaven has rained on..."

Artist Hint: Male Duet

Artist and song pleeease?

( Oh...btw...I promise I will not pin or press any zucchini's or vegetables to anyone who guesses correctly..*w* Yahahahaha!)

Guest ~ 30th July question ~ Band was Paper Lace.

Diamond Girl, by Seals & Croft! But I must admit, I didn't know, my brother told me *hangs head* But hey.... GREAT SONG!

A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
*
Please name the song, artist and further state what the song was written about?

american pie
don maclean
about????????
now you're askin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it's about your askin.
Well! have a nosey at this

http://americanpie.smithcraft.org

what? I'm lost here.... ofcourse I know the answer.... i want yous guys to gimme the flippin answer!! Orin, thats cheatin!! Although no mor cheatin than me asking my brother *smiles*

Sheesh

'tis about the day when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper and...was there someone else?....died in a plane crash. (and no, I didn't check the link above. *G*)

The pilot

Mac's a winner!! Sorry LS but that is incorrect. You have the standard socially acceptable answer provided by people who think they're in the know. The real answer Mc has provided us with. You see contrary to popular belief it was the Pilot that inspired the music. In fact more oft than not when he flew upside down and the blood rushed to his head John (his nickname was Low Altitude John) he either wrote or inspired Buddy and the Boys to great feets and feats of music. If you get really hammered and drink boiler makers and listen to American Pie backwards you;ll hear the whole story.

Exactly as explained in the above link, even though it's not compulsory to look at.
Just as it's not compulsory for Strabane girls to go as far as Donegal on the first date, but they do anyway.

Orin, What about larger than life Glockenspiels? Do girls from Strabane like Glockenspiels?

I don't think they would be familiar with Glockenspiels.
Try playing a full set of Tubular Bells using mallets and see if that gets a better response.

Fionn, "define standard socially acceptable"...

Another old fav...

"___ ____ _______ __ ___,

And I forget to doooooo....
Those little ordinary things
That everyone ought to dooooo...."

Song title and Artist please.

Definitions By Fionn-
Standard = something that everyone else ought to have especially me!
Social (Or Friendly) = a relationship with a girl you'd rather not have cause you want more.
Acceptable = is when you're not unacceptable.

"Sometimes in the morning I catch
a falling dream echoing a scene,
and I think about someone
that I will never see again
and now it's only me again"

Gee, Cripes, Blimey!
Not only does he hold the world record for the Triple Jump, but waxes lyrical to boot.

Ode to the loss of nOgger's chat...
(...sing to tune of Rivers of Babylon...if you can bear it *g*)

"By the rivers of Ave-a-lonnnnnnn
Where we sat doooooowwwwwn
Yeah, eah, weeeee weeeept
As weeee remember Tir na nOOOOOOggggg

Let the words of our boooards
And the dedication of our hoaaarrrrds
Be acceptable in Meantimmmmee
Till chat's reeeeeevivvveddd"

Poor ol'e chatroom!!! *pouts sadly!!...pats Accasabel on back in sympathy and whispers encouragement in left ear*

Silk do you think people are left and right eared?

*Grabs Ludd by the RIGHT ear (or alternatively some other easily accessable bodily protrusion on the right) and leads him to nearby Tir corner...*

Look here Ludd!... Even if one don't have ears, it 'places' the said descriptive movement far more precisely than ... "whispers encouragement into randomly placed headhole" ...I mean...who, in their right (...or left) mind would whisper words of encouragement into a mouth or nostril?...Huh?

*thinks to self...Hmmmmm...actually....that does sounds better ~ wide-eyed thought...deep consideration*

Give me anymore strife buddy, and I'll bloomin' well lick yer eyebrows in the wrong direction while singin' "You make me feel like dancin'"!

Silk, I'd be careful with that notion. Sounds kinda nice. Can I be next after Ludd ? *winks*

Hey Wee Willy 'Winkie'...if you're hasty enough, you could in fact be BEFORE Ludd! I just hope you've considered how painful having yer eyebrows facing the wrong way can be...ask any cat that's had his fur brushed backwards! *L*

Hi guy's Haven't been around for a long time, but hope to be back in the Tir Land Now! Lacie! How U Doin? How is that sister of yours? Cool Tune, I love Van Morrison, went to see him in concert a month ago!...... Awesome!

Guest, ya got me.... I even tried cheating. Does anyone know the Chipmunck answer?

_____________ wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day

Now!...for an extra 'lick o the brow', who sung Rebel Yell, and what year was the song Rebel Yell released? *s*

Billy Idol,
Sometime in 1980's.
Could I be more vague?
OK... a bleached blonde ex brit punk rocker,
er whenever!

Nice one Orin! What is the opposite of vague? Billy Idol was indeed correct and 1984 was the year.

Incidentally "1984" was also the title of an interesting book.

He played out his heart just the time to pass,
But as he looked to the ground, he noticed no shadow did he cast.

I think it's 'lucid' silk.....but I can't be certain!!!!

"I came in last Niiiiggght
About a half past Teeeennnnn,

After the tears have washed your eyes
You'll find that I've take nothing, that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye


--Gordon Sumner

No, what did you say? Can you speak louder?

lol guest...and no not gordon sumner.

After The Rain Has Fallen by Sting...aka Gordon Sumner. I believe the Guest is correct. He or she has written down some of the other lyrics

lol alright fine.. i just didn't know his real name. *g*

Ok, I've got a stumper: *grins wickedly*

I want to sing and dance,
I want to sing and dance,
I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance.
Wearing silver buckle slippers
and the tight shiny pants...
I want to sing and dance.

*did we rule no looking it up online?* *L* And I think I stumped in the Guesthouse with the fishies song, to.....

Anyone...anyone...? Bueller...Bueller...?

McGuire says it's the Pirate Song

McGuire says it's the Pirate Song

*grumbles laughingly* Yeah, ok, so it is.....and I thought it was a great stumper. *L*

How can we understand
Riots by the people for the people
Who are only destroying themselves
And when you see a frightened
Person who is frightened by the
People who are scorching this earth.

Hey Ludd!
You haven't metamorphosed into a rogue guest again by any chance, have you?
It's just that I get the feeling there is skullduggery afoot in other corners of the message board.

Just wonderering!

Oh lord sure its a blessin'
Of that, sure i'm confessin'
That my kids stay nude
when the weather is good
Sure there's too many for me to be dressin'

Did you know I'd go to sleep and leave the lights on?
Hopin' you'd come by and know that I was home and still awake.
But two years go by and still my lights on
This is hard for me to say but this is all that I can say...

Last Song
Edward Bear

girl friend in a coma I know this time its serious

"...and did they get you to trade...
your heros for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?...
Cold comfort for change?...
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war...
For a lead role in a cage?"

If anyone's interested, mine was a piece from electric spoons virtuoso Finbar O'Bollocks' unplugged album
(Acoustic Cutlery Vol 2, 40 Finbar favourites including 'The Crooked Celtic Cross by the Old Rustic Bridge'....and others)

The snippet is from the Finbar toe tapper 'The Smell Of Me Mammies' Slippers'

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade Your heros for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?
...How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

Okay, here's a hint.

You were the first thing that I thought of
when I thought I drank you off my mind.
When I get lost in the liquor
you're the only one I find.
If I did the things I oughta
you still would not be mine
So I keep a tight grip on the bottle
gettin loose and _______ ____.
This ______ ____...... is killin me.
Drinkin myself blind.......thinkin I won't see...

CELT was my guess of your lyrics right?????

Here's an EASY PEASY one...

"I still want you by my side,
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried,
And I'm sure gonna give you a try,
And if you want,
I'll try to love again...
Baaaby I'll trrrrry to love again
But I know...."

The First Cut is the Deepest
Rod Stewart song, but I think Cat Stevens wrote it

Definitely by Cat,McGuire.

OK. Here's my contribution:

He got another one that just say "Hey"

My feet are too long
My hair's falling out
and my rights are all wrong.
My friends, they all tell me
they're no friends at all.
Won't you write me a letter
won't you give me a call?....

I see we have finally deteriorated to a state of aural obscuro.
In which case!

Some gems from the aforementioned Finbar, and in particular some tracks from his one off rebel album, tracks such as.....
The great great " The Crack We Had The Day We Died For Ireland"
The poignant ballad "Flow River Flow" ( Second line "F**k Off To THe Sea"..)
Or the famine retrospective "The Potatoes Aren't Looking The Best?

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

John Denver sang it..and I think it's Rocky Mountain High... am I right??

And on the same album John sings a song,PARADISE, by the same songwriter who wrote my last entry...which no one has guessed yet.I just knew someone was going to post Rocky Mountain High. I could feel it coming.

Who's John Denver?

Next verse:

Dear ****,

My fountain pen leaks.
My wife hollers at me.
My kids are all freaks.
Each side that I wake up's
the wrong side of bed.
If it weren't so expensive
I'd wish I was dead.

john denver, inventor of the omlete

Yeah Ludd, it was Mott the Hoople who sang it, David Bowie who wrote it for them *G

Ok, here's an oldie but a goodie...

"I caught the train, I met a real dame
She was a hipster and a gone dame
She was pretty, from New York City
And she trucked on down the old fair lane
with a heave and a ho
and I just couldn't let her go..."

no, not by who you might think...*G

YODA,
Weird Al Yankovich's parody of LOLA by (probably) Ray Davis. And in case anyone was interested my posting of October 5 was Dear Abby by the great American song writer, John Prine.

Now some have come for to see me hang, and some to buy me fiddle.
But before that I do part with her, I'll break her through the middle.
So he took his fiddle in both of his hands, and broke her oer a stone.
Saying there's no other hand shall play on thee when I am dead and gone.

Submitter's comment: I wouldn't bother trying to break my double bass if I were in this fellow's situation. Too much wood to smash and I'd still end up swinging from a tree.

MacPherson's Lament or is it MacPherson's Farewell.
I'm sure that's what we used to call it.

Hoots Mon!

Sheesh!...that's a kinda sad song Brian! *stares at the bits o fiddle scattered o'er the ground...picks 'em up and begins the labourious but totally dedicated job of glueing it back together* Y'shouldn't do that to a fiddle! The fiddle faeries will getcha!

Here's one for ya's...

"Now the vampires
Walking through the valley
Move West down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys, are standing in the shadows
And the good girls, are home with broken hearts.."

Song and Band please...Hehehehe.

A favourite for Samhain

Bonfires dot the rolling hills
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound.

Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows
Held up tall as the flames leap high
The green knight holds the holly bush
To mark where the old year passes by.

--L.M.

A give away for followers of Celtic World music and Celtic Pagan Traditionalists.

I've figured it out
What I needed was someone
to show me."

"Darkness falls & she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where time just slips away
Without her as my guide

Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn
and burn eternally....(etc)"

*waves to everyone* :)

I dont know toooooooo christmasy for me silk...lol

Twas in the moon of winter time
When all the birds had fled.....

"We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Now bring us some figgy pudding, etc etc etc...
and bring it right here!

We won't leave until we've got some...etc etc etc"

Hmmmm. Now, in keeping with the true Christmas spirit...what's wrong with the basic premise of this song??? Seems a bit belligerent if you ask me *L

I would have posted the lyrics to "I Yust go Nuts at Christmas" but I can't find that old 78 anywhere...

Ah! qu'll est beau, qu'il est charmant,
Que ses graces sont parfaites!
Ah! qu'll est beau, qu'll est charmant,
Qu'il est doux le divin Enfant!

Here Comes Santa Clause, Here Comes Santa Clause, Right Down Santa Clause Way....... Ho Ho Ho!!! Merry Christmas everyone!!!

late for the answer, but it's 'Il est ne le Divin Enfant' jouez haubois resonnez musette
Il est ne le Divin Enfant, chantons tous solenellement...

Now if I could just find a copy of "I Wanna See Santa Do the Mambo"....

I want to play with Dolly Partons t*ts,
I want to play with Dolly Partons t*ts,
So big and soft and round ,
and they never make a sound.
Iwant to play with dolly Partons t*ts

Well, CuRoii (the two ii's came from .. where?) .. I guess this thread began with the very mortal words of Ludd "OK, OK sheer indulgence, but hey, why not?" (now correctly punctuated) .. so I guess you can wallow in the Parton mammary glands in your mind.

Was that the follow up to Windmills of your mind..........

If you could read my mind love

Does anybody know if 'The Mutton Birds' still exist?Kiwi band.

Yes...believe so.

But when that last guitars been packed away
You know that I still wanna play
So make sure you've got it all set to go
Before you come for my piano

But the band's on the bus
And they're waiting to go
We've got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago
or Detroit, I don't know

We do so many shows in a row
And these towns all look the same...
Jackson Browne, Runnin on Empty, Stay

Can anybody help out with this? Stuck on crossword, need the name of the composer of the song: "Ain't She Sweet" . 4 letters. And no, I don't have any of the related across or down words in that section to help.

Ager I think was the composer. Lead vocal was John Lennon...

*LMAO*

Thanks Gwydion! Ager it was. Much appreciated.

if you dont like it
dont do it
pick up the telephone and tell them to screw it..............................

Was a miner forty niner and his daughter ________

CLEMINTINE!

In a cavern, in a canyon
excavating for a mine,
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter, Clementine.

(Chorus:)
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin', Clementine
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Light she was, like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine.
Herring boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine

(Chorus)

She drove ducklings to the water
Every morning just at nine.
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foamy brine.

(Chorus)

Heard her calling, calling "Father"
Her voice was like a chime.
But alas, he was no swimmer,
Thought he'd lost his Clementine.

(Chorus)

Then a hero, a handsome hero,
Came arriving just in time,
Dove he quickly into the water,
And he save poor Clementine.

(Chorus)

Listen, Boy Scouts, heed the warning,
To this tale from forty-tine:
Artificial respiration
Was what save our Clementine.

(Chorus)

The hero left her for another,
But the story isn't told;
For the splinter that she tripped on
Was a lump of purest gold.

(Chorus)
