New game guys!! Guess the song...

BabyRider · Post by **BabyRider** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 11:04 am

OK, guys...since our former resident game-inventor is no more :yh_cry I'd like to try a new one...

Post part of a song; a few words, a line, a verse, whatever, and we try to guess the song and artist. Sound easy? I've got a few obscure ones to try to stump you with. Just please remember to quote the lines you are guessing to save on the confusion.

Here's the first one:

"I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm,

and the inevitable pinhole burns...

all down the front of my favorite satin shirt..."

That would be from The Wall...Pink Floyd

Thanks Teach!!

P.S. Are you a Floyd fan?

Teach4life · Post by **Teach4life** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 12:22 pm

The song is Nobody Home.......Ummmm not so much a fan but I have been around the music a lot.

My turn.....Ummm....let me think for a bit

Bullet · Post by **Bullet** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 4:19 pm

OK, guess this one. I double dog dare ya!!!

On the scene a priest appears

Sinners falling at his knees

Satan sends out funeral pyre

Casts the priest into the fire

It's the place for all bad sinners

Watch them eating dead rats' innards

I guess it's the same whereever you may go

War Pigs.......Black Sabbath......But I have to admit I cheated on that one. You stumped me.

OK, I figured I didn't have to say this, but this should be an "on-your-honor" game. No fair looking the lyrics up on the web!! Tsk Tsk, Teach! :yh_bigsmi

Hey, Minks...Just grab a CD at random, find some lyrics in a song, and put 'em here! Easy!

(I'm working on my next entry now)

Teach4life · Post by **Teach4life** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 4:51 pm

Okay, no more cheating.....here is my song

Oh yeah, your skin and bones,

Turn into something beautiful,

You know, you know I love you so,

You know I love you so.

I swam across,

I jumped across for you,

Oh what a thing to do.

I'm stumped on the last one. War Pigs was my guess and I thought that before reading the answer. Knew that one was Floyd but had no idea what so ever the song was.

Can we have clues?

Teach has me stumped!

BabyRider · Post by **BabyRider** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 9:39 pm

Teach...You got me. I've been wracking my brains, and I think I have an idea, but the group is just not coming to me...:-5

Clue? Or do you want to tell us?

Bullet · Post by **Bullet** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 4:06 am

HA!! WRONG!!!! :wah: It is NOT War Pigs, But something very close. Walpurgis is the original name of this song - and it had totally different lyrics back then, but the same music. The only place where this version of the song is (legally) available is on the Ozzy "Ozzman Cometh" Greatest Hits CD, which I happen to own. :guitarist It was found in Ozzy's basement recordings from 1970. I think they changed the lyrics, possibly to tame it down a bit, but not much. OK, I got ya on a technicality.

Walls and bars they surround me

But I don't want no sympathy....

Good luck...

I don't think there's one to guess but my apologies if I've missed it

"Now that I've lost everything to you, you say you

want to start something new, and it's breaking

my heart you're leaving, baby, I'm grieving..." (70s)

Hotel California by the Eagles-that was too easy, since I got my MA from Cal State Fullerton which the hotel is close to and we knew all about that hotel.........................

Nice thread, glad to resurrect it. I think that last one would be a song by Jethro Tull called "Minstrel in the Gallery"

Try:

"And she's lifting and throwing to the wall

The post natal harmonies of youth

When this younger man, twenty five

Advantageously took away her pride"

In total agreement.

Keane, similar genre, is too. I only know because my daughter and son in law insisted I listen to coldplay's 3 and keane's one album(s). I needed to listen at least 4 times to each album and then....fantastic...
