Name the song and artist

I felt that with all the different tastes in music within the forums, I could easily lose my way. I don't listen to certain genres of music and those I do listen to, I don't always get the words right. That doesn't stop me from singing along and making up words as I go. What's been fun has been seeing lyrics I should know, but sticking someone else's voice to it thinking it looks like a "this band's" song. I'm guilty of Tom Petty, The Eagles and Stevie Nicks so far and was wrong on each. It's still a lot of fun. Some dark lyrics though. I worry for the composers.

No idea

A lot of people got the words wrong to Tiny Dancer by Elton John. It was even in an episode of Friends where Phoebe is singing "Hold me closer, Tony Danza". Since it was the title of the song, I'm at a loss on that one. I joined the choir at church and there was a song that everyone else was familiar with. I didn't know all the words so I replaced two of them. They sang "You are my consternation and my meditation" while I sang "You are my constipation and my medication". True story.

There are a couple of lines in the chorus of "More Than a Feeling" by Boston that had stumped me my whole life (most of it anyway) - and that was a monster hit song when I was in high school. When it became possible to look up lyrics on the internet that was the first song that came to mind. Now that I know the words it baffles me how I couldn't hear it before.

'll shine up the old brown shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Feeling all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?

When I was little, I did the same thing with Paul Simon's Loves Me Like a Rock. "I'm a constipated man....."

You believe that's not on Harry Chapin's The Gold Medal Collection? Songs I'd never heard before on there, but not 30,000 Lbs. of Bananas!

My favorite Chapin song is Sniper. Familiar with it?

As a kid I used to think that “Round John Virgin” was there at the manger with Mother and Child.

And I wondered who this Jose’ guy was that was lookin for the flag at the dawn’s early light.

It's " Dawnserly" and it's of a magical moment one must personally experience first hand,something I've always likend to such as when a winged Pegasus just mosey's up to yer' hammock yer' snoozing out on ,,,& it's eluded me thus far in life,,, but I'm grooving to that sleeping till noon these days anyway

CCR: There's a batman on the right.
Dobie Gray: Give me the Beach Boys to free my soul.
Elton John: She's got electric boobs, her ma does too.

My cup is on the table,
Our love is spilling,
Waiting for you to take and drink up.

" I was a lonely teenage bronc'n buck,with a pink carnation & a pickup truck"



"17 inches of flame"



" just sit right back & you'll hear a tale,a tale of a fateful trip"

He really gets inside the mind of a psychotic, with flashbacks and angst. It's an amazing song, I suggest you give it a listen sometime.
