Name the Song

[echrada]

And this one?

Half the crowd did laugh
though there was no joke
and soon the other half
were swallowed up in smoke
a robber on the wing
could be heard to sing
the strangest thing...

 

[A Guy]

This should be in your time boobah

with just the beer light to guide us,
so we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands?

Ziggy Stardust David Bowie




Am I supposed to add a lyric to guess as well?

For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of Judo,
Lo, we shall rise up,
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.

No idea never did listen to Tom Lehrer much

Pink Floyd - Sheep @ echrada I have no idea on your one



How about this one

How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.

However, can you name the song written by Tom Lehrer set to the same tune as the Major-General's Song?

About 4 or 5 years ago

I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band.
I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime."
I was there.

Late 60s

You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.

early 80s

Back to react, enough is enough
Let me ask you a question-what time is love?

4 or 5 years ago - Much to new for me to know

Late 60s - I should know these but this one is so off the beaten track I had never heard of it until I looked it up

early 80s - Same as above

ah, we were listening to this recently john.


ok mine

Take a little naps where the roots all twist
Squished a rotten peach in my fist
And dreamed about you, woman,
I poked my finger down inside
Make a little room for it to hide
Nature's candy in my hand or can or a pie

 

[DirtRider]

This sounds like one of those fruity bands something like peaches

 

[boohbah]

What millions of them?

 

[DirtRider]

No just the broken ones

 

[johnwillyums]

Got it
