Bob Seger (covered by Metallica) -- Turn the Page

 

For dcsiouxfan:
one more clue about that song that is right on the edge of your brain but you just can't get it:

Hang a sign up on the door
That says *************



The ********* is the title of the song. If you can't get it this time, I got to give it up.

 

I give up

 

Ok, here it is, man:

Hang the sign up on the door
That says
DON'T DISTURB THIS GROOVE
Just a way to say that
I"m so into you
And the feeling's so real
Don't disturb this groove



"Don't Disturb This Groove" by an 80s r&b duo called The System, a big "crossover" hit

 

1) And as I hung up the phone, it occured to me / He'd grown up just like me; my boy was just like me

2) Follow me now and you will not regret / leaving the life you led before we met / you are the first to have this love of mine / forever with me till the end of time

Bonus point: what band covered both of the above songs?

 

Cat's In The Cradle, Jim Croce

 

I think it's Harry Chapin.

 

And it was covered by Ugly Kid Joe, no?

 

I knew this one!! Serves me right for not checking in on this thread for a few days.

Here's another one from an 80's one hit wonder:

"walking on the water/walking on the air/ that was the heart of the love we share"

 

Yes, it is Harry Chapin's "Cats In The Cradle", it was covered by Ugly Kid Joe, who also covered song #2:

Follow me now and you will not regret / leaving the life you led before we met / you are the first to have this love of mine / forever with me till the end of time

Here's an additional lyrical clue:
Look into my eyes you'll see who I am / my name is Lucifer, please take my hand

Any guesses?

 

Sorry, once you said Lucifer, all that I'm coming up with is "Sympathy For the Devil", and I know that's not right.

 

I thought the same thing!

 

Try these:

XX "I want to bite the hand that feeds me, I want to bite that hand so badly"

YY "I search the room but you're not there, your perfume lingers everywhere."

 

Correct on the Elvis.

Incorrect on the Dylan.

 

Man, one I knew and you beat me to it!!!


Alright, here we go

AAA. Dont let go/while I'm hanging on/Cuz I've been hanging on so long/It's so hard to be all alone/I know you're not that strong

BBB. Love/exciting and new/come aboard/we're expecting you

CCC. Hello, yeah its been a while/Not much, how 'bout you/Not sure why I called, I guess I really just wanted to talk to you

DDD. Must have been thru about a million girls/ I love 'em and I leave 'em alone

EEE. But that don't coincide/Well the things that you do when I ask you/to be nice, you say..

 

AAA-(Our Love's in) "Jeopardy"-Greg Kinn
aka~I Lost on Jeopardy-W.A. Yank

BBB-I am sooo ashamed to know this:
It's the freakin' theme song to "The Love Boat"

CCC-"I'd Really Like To See You Tonight"by...ummm is it England Dan and John Ford Coley?

DDD-"Fooled Around And Fell In Love"-Elvin Bishop

Ok-here's some of my own:

#1-"They would kill me for a cigarette~But I don't even wanna die just yet"

#2-"Now I look in the papers each day, wondering what my horoscope will say."

#3-"It's all relative to the size of your steeple"

#4-"You're a blue bird on the telephone wire, I hope you're happy now"

 

Good effort. It was Black Sabbath's "N.I.B." aka Nativity In Black.

 

Elton John, "Love Lies Bleeding"
