Here are the lyrics - what is the name of the song?

[Captain Pre-Capsize]

Can you pull this off without looking it up online? Post some lyrics from a song and let's see who can guess the song.

Let me get us started:

"Tiny purple fishes
Run laughing through your fingers..."

 

[TOVT]

I can guess the band, but not the song.

 

[Rudy Vey]

 

[The Knize]

Yep, I would have gotten that one! Nice job, Rudy.

 

[Billski]

Who banned the song?

On the first day of July, here is one.

I didn't recognize the girl next door
the beat-up sneakers and the pony tail

Remember, no cheating. It's probably very easy though.

Beach Baby by First Class. And thanks for the memory. My grandmother always loved vacationing by the beach. When we would visit her during the summer she would always have this 45 on rotation to remind her of what it felt like by the beach. She couldn't sing worth a darn but you could always hear the joy in her voice when she would think about the beach.

Bingo! Thanks for remembering! This is one of my favorite songs and I revisit it every summer (from July till the end of September) and then some.

Great idea for a thread Captain!

An easy one.

Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses.

 

[Bobovata]

Who are these children who scheme and run wild

This one's easy for me, it's Gold Teeth II (one of my favorite guitar solos) "the wonderful one, Mister Steely Dan!"

 

[Bobovata]

Easily one of the greatest guitar solos of all time, IMHO.

Here's one from one of my favorites:
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.

As a huge fan of this band, I started signing it as soon as I read it.

"The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south"

Substitute by 'The Who'

"And the message comin' from my eyes
Says, 'Leave it alone'. "

This one shouldn't be too difficult.

"I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore"

"I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore"

"And the message comin' from my eyes
Says, 'Leave it alone'. "

This one shouldn't be too difficult

"Don't wanna hear about it,
Every single one's got a story to tell.
Everyone knows about it,
From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell."

 

[TOVT]

She's a great dancer
Not ideally built for ballet
She's got her calling card to live this way

 

[brucered]

Just a thought.

But maybe this could be like the "song/band" thread.

Someone posts a lyric. People guess. The original poster confirms or denies answer, whoever guessed correctly, posts the next lyric.

Not much activity in here....this was mine.
