Name that tune!

[RickRak2000]

You may own some racing horses...

Even own the whole damn track...

You may have enough money baby...

To buy anything you like...

Don't care how big you are...

I don't care what you're worth...

When it all ends up...

I've Got News For You ( a great version by Edgar Winter's White Trash sung by Jerry LaCriox)

[Modoc]

Welcome to your life

There's no turning back

Even while we sleep

We will find you

Acting on your best behaviour

Turn your back on mother nature

Dude Tears for Fears... Really??? ...

Xre, Which song? The wife and kid were watching Real Genius with Val Kilmer before I posted it

They were pretty good when I saw them live in Santa Barbra in about '94.

[XRe]

Xre, Which song? The wife and kid were watching Real Genius with Val Kilmer before I posted it

Oh, come on... You're gonna make me admit that I knew the song?

Everybody Wants to Rule the World

Actually, they were pretty good song writers. Stylistically, maybe not my cup of tea, really, but they had good tunes, which is really the important part...

[Modoc]

I just dug this out of the vault -

In the desert in the dry

Before the breaking of the rain

The temperature in the shade

Had reached a hundred and ten again

In the desert in the dry

On the overland telegraph line

Dont take the law into your own hands

Dont go looking for a fight

I still can't get RicRac's and I won't lower my self to google it

[Clint U66]

Here's a hint: release date for the album was 2001 on a small label out of Detroit Michigan. This is the best record you've never heard!!

Please, Please, Please someone get this one!!!!

No clue... even a search didn't help. No fair posting lyrics you wrote, Clint

[Modoc]

Clint, I can't even keep up with the coast, let alone Mowtown

Pretty sure it's "six feet from the edge", but I will check. I'll post another when I get home. Maybe some rap...? I'm sure there are some rap fans here...

OK Ken, you asked for it, so I went looking among my old tapes and found this one

Cold cooling at a ball

Looking for some action

But like Mick Jagger said

I can´t get no satisfaction.

The girls are all around

But none of them wanna get with me

My threads are fresh and I´m looking def

Yo, wassup with the l-o-c

The girls are all jocking

At the other end of the bar

having drinks with some no-name chump

When they know that I´m the star

So I got up and strolled over

To the other side of the cantina

I asked the guy, "why you so fly?"

He said "_____ _____ ______".

Anubis might get this one,

"Mother Earth" is correctomundo. Referring to the version from the album Eric Burdon Declares WAR circa late 70's.

Flock of Seagulls

Man the fact that you toss up funky cold medina is bad enough, the fact you knew I'd get it is WORSE

Anyways:

The way you're bathed in light,

Reminds me of that night,

God laid me down into your rose garden of trust,

And I was swept away,

With nothing left to say,

Some helpless fool,

I was lost in a swoon of peace,

You're all I need to find,

So when the time is right,

Come to me sweetly, come to me,

Come to me

As any man can plainly see...

I'm just as I appear to be...

And I don't feel no pain...

Woah someday a bad bad time is gonna come and you're gonna call out my name!

Woman I don't play no games...

Cause I'm a _______ _________ _________ (title)

(I'm betting I'll have to give some hints on this one.)

[RickRak2000]

OK...

Some hints.

This tune was recorded on the bands first album, which was released in 1969.

The guitar player was noteworthy (pun intended) and achieved significant notariety (another pun?)... but alas, he assumed room temperature over 30 years ago.

The chick singer (a real screamer) ran down the curtain and joined the choir invisible in 1984.

There were 5 people in this band. I don't know if the other 3 are alive or not.

Help the man out!

Zephyr, right? Hard chargin' woman?

How 'bout this:

Woke up this morning, babe

Reach for the telephone

Woke up this morning,

Reach for the telephone

I got your message baby,

To...

And which chicago blueswoman today uses it as her signature song?

[gino_aki]

A different kind of poverty

Now upsets mu soul

Night after sleepless night

I walk the floor and

I want to know

Why am I so alone

Where is my woman

Can I bring her home

Have I driven her away

Or is she gone

4+20 Stephen Stills from CSN&Y Deja Vu

Try this:

Mary Estelle Hanna

Came out from Louisiana

for the sun

A deal gone bad in Dallas

Left her burned and broke

and on the run

To make the rent and groceries

She takes this job at

$3.15 an hour

Serving shots of whiskey

and tequila

In some smoky red-neck bar

And she dreams some day

she'll make her way to L.A.

And become a movie star.

Tony saw her working

swallowed hard and asked her for a date

Mary laughed and answered

"I would but every night I'm working late"

He said he had some cocaine

That she could have if she'd just ride along

She said "What the hell,

I may as well

I haven't had no fun in

so damn long"

He picked her up at closing time

They pulled out on the road

And they were gone.

Tuscon by Dan Fogelberg I think?

Here's an easy one

Tonight you're mine, completely

You give your love, so sweetly

Tonight the light of love is in your eyes

But will you love me, tomorrow

I am at a loss for a bunch of these songs, but I am going to try and keep this one going.

And I think I'm a rasta

My hair looks like pasta

[mikey357]

I been up and down since I turned seventeen

I been on top and then it seems I lost my dream

One of my all-time favorites, ZZ-Top, "My Heads In Mississippi"! They have so many , man I just had to look em up on iTunes, and rock out. Thanks.

[JimmyZip]

Okay, here's another. I really like this one too. If any of you guitar players have the tab for this, PM me I'd sure like it. This is, to me, one of those "perfect songs". Even if the guy who wrote it is a wreck of a human being.

Well the night makes moves

and she shatters like broken glass.

Better play it cool.

Better let it pass.

Have you been screening your smokes?

Whispers in an all-night bar.

Better off as a fool.

Than the owner of

that kind of heart.

They don't know you

anyway.

They don't know you,

they don't watch you walk away.

Just a ______ ____

With a radar to the scene.

When the emptiness finds you.

You find all the numbers you need.

Say you follow your heart,

well honey you're just being lost.

You could follow your gut.

But how much would it cost.

maybe time to bring this one back...?

"Yeah, I get it, You're an outcast. Always under attack. Always coming in last, Bringing up the past. No one owes you anything. I think you need a shotgun blast, A kick in the ass, So paranoid... Watch you back!!!"

Come on Dave Re, you got this one, I know it...
