Name the Song

[DirtRider]

Ok here we go how about this one

Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything

Ok here we are the answer to this one


Alannah Myles Black Velvet

 

[johnwillyums]

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?

 

[DirtRider]

How about this one

Tears from your little sister,
crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
for the party to go.
But you know she'll get by

I'd never have got this, though the song is instantly familiar and I remember it well I never new the artist.
Surprising really as I have a thing about girls in chaps

The song is actually about Elvis, Yeah she sure is easy on the eye

Ah paul young again

i was the north Shropshire under 18 pop quiz champion 3 years running back in the 80's

next:

Across the field you see the sky ripped open
See the rain through a gaping wound
Pounding on the women and children
Who run
Into the arms
Of America

 

[johnwillyums]

Hard to tie down the original of this but this looks like it should be. Waylon Jennings did it and Paul Young had a big UK hit with it but it's obviosly a reggae song.

 

[johnwillyums]

I would love to have that album

 

[Dwarf]

OK. Try these.

You do the tango jiggle,
With a Texas Tommy wiggle.
Take your partner, and you hold her,
Lightly enfold her, a little bolder.

Where the tree tops talk to the wind,
Where the eagle flies.
I'll bring her up to see it the minute I'm through,
Won't she light up with surprise!

She's got a little hole in her frock,
Hole in her shoe,
Hole in her sock,
Where her toe peeped through.​

 

[johnwillyums]

It's not bloody Noel Coward again is it? Be Gilbert and Sullivan next.

 

[Dwarf]

No, it's not either of those. By the way, there are 3 different songs, not 3 excerpts from the same one.

 

[johnwillyums]

Ok. Here's the answers to my two that no one got.

With just the beer light to guide us,
So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hand



On the back of a carton coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada



Is that one song or three Dwarf?

 

[johnwillyums]

I know Dwarfs live longer than the children of men but...
Got one anyway

 

[johnwillyums]

I think this is a tough one so here's a clue. The artist has already featured recently in this thread.

Hanging out with your Dwarf Men
We were so turned on
By your lack of conclusions

I did not know this

 

[Dwarf]

John, your answer to one of my songs is correct. It was indeed On Mother Kelly's Doorstep by Danny La Rue. What about the other 2?

By the way, yours is The Bewlay Brothers from the Hunky Dory album by David Bowie.

I only know this one as a mate had it and I cannot stand it and he would play it to death

 

[Dwarf]

Whilst your working out what my other 2 are, here's another one.

Here's to the child who applied for a divorce
Said his parents were driving him nuts
Once upon a time used to be children
Now there are just adults

​

 

[DirtRider]

Still working on those ones

Here is one for you so long

Well surprise surprise, a few more lies, or do we simply call them alibis
This life we lead aint fooling either one of us
And while we're having so much fun let's not forget the lonely ones
It's lonely falling out of love, this game we play can be so rough

 

[johnwillyums]

Excellent. I thought that would be tough but you both got it straight away
I'm still struggling with your other two Dwarf. I find if I try to sing them out loud it helps. The tune sometimes comes. Lucky I live alone really
