Name these songs and artists from the 70s and 80s

Sultans of Swing -- Dire Straits.

 

Excellent!!


Paul N,

Sorry but Dire Straits is incorrect.

 

Allright, I was just kidding the first time.

How about Steely Dan --"Hey Nineteen"?

 

Paul, your getting closer.

 

I got it now -- FM by Steely Dan.

 

You got it Paul!

Alright, these last two arent that tough. Think early 80's, lots of MTV play.

 

Peter Schilling - Major Tom (Coming Home)?

 

Thats a winner, Astorian.

I have a question about my number of posts. I know I have more than what is indicated, so whats up?

 

I asked the same question in the Moderators' forum a couple of weeks ago.

Short answer: Free For All and Off Topic posts don't count.

FFA I can understand. Posts to "Other Sports" or "Movies..." should, in my opinion, count. Alas, they do not.

 

so i call up the captain/ please bring me my wine/ he said we haven't had that spirit here since 1969...

 

Eagles, "Hotel California"



There are stars in the Southern sky
And if ever you decide you should go
There is moonlight and moss on the trees
Down the...

 

There are stars in the southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight and moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road

Seven Bridges Road
- S. Young -

You left me here on your way to Paradise.
You pulled the rug right out from under my eyes.
I knew you were going to, I knew when you came home last night....

 

Smoke of a Distant Fire-- Marshall Tucker Band

Here are some more:

vii. The creme de la creme of the chess world in a show with everything but Yul Brenner

viii. Oh no ma, oh no pa/I'll be your golden boy/I will obey every golden rule

ix. You were fast asleep/you wouldnt even talk to me/you said your so crazy/coming home intoxicated

x. And so the conversation turned/until the sun when down.

 

"One Night In Bangkok" by Murray Head!

 

This one's been killing me, I can sing the song but can't really get the title.

I'll guess -- Human League, Don't You Want Me, Baby?

Here are a couple:

A. I was underage in this funky bar and I stepped outside to smoke myself a jay.

B. Down in the shadow of the penitentiary, out by the gas fires of the refinery, I'm ten years burnin' down the road, nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go.

C. I want to run, I want hide, I want to tear down these walls that hold me inside.

 

A. Paul Simon, "Late in the Evening"

B. Bruce Springsteen, "Born in the USA"

C: U2, "Where The Streets Have No Name"

 

Keep Feeling Fascination - Human League

 

Here are a few gimmies:

1)You said to be thankful for the little things
But the little things are all you seem to give

2) Are you listening
Hey, you're my favorite girl
Excuse me for the moment
I'm in another world

3) What took you so long
It was in your eyes
That look's been there for too long

 

For anyone who cares, this was Musical Youth-Pass the Dutchie (on the left hand side).

Bigsmooth--#2 is rattling around in my brain but its not clicking---AAARGH

 

DING! That is it.

 

I might've gotten Pass the Dutchie but you cleverly omitted that key verse that follows "month of June", the one that goes "how does it feel when you got no food?"

Just to help you out with #2, here's some more lines:


On a mountain
By a fountain
Flowers blooming everywhere
With Venus and with Cupid
The picture's very clear

You got to get this one now.

 

Your right, I should have included the line, but i guess I was just lazy. And now youre taunting me with the extra hint and it still didnt help :^(

A. Heard it from a friend who/heard it from a friend who/heard it from another you were messin around.

B. Friday night at midnight/were all gonna get what we need/cause its a knock down drag out...

C. Hotel, motel, holiday inn.

D. If theres a bustle in your hedgerow

E. With the echos of the amplifiers ringin in your head

F. I hear the secrets that you keep
