Name the tune & the band

[Jazzey]

.."thanks for the memories" of old tunes - get it? YouTube - Bob Hope - Thanks For The Memories

 

[NicNak]

Yep

It was fun Jazzey :kiss2: Thanks Jazzey and Daniel

 

[amastie]

No idea about the lyrics but the fun is catching

 

[Jazzey]

Yes...I am feeling brave tonight!

She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted

Depeche Mode Lyrics - Somebody

And, yes, you were being brave

 

[Jazzey]

And, yes, you were being brave

...Do I sense some 'snarkiness'?

 

[Daniel E.]

An easy one:

I'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
no, I will never be a saint
but I will always say

squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster

 

[Daniel E.]

...Do I sense some 'snarkiness'?

Yes, I did, but I didn't want to believe it :funny:

 

[Jazzey]

As for your post -Annie Difranco...give me a private moment with my google bar, and I'll tell you the song!

 

[Daniel E.]

(Jeopardy music playing)

 

[NicNak]

I cheated, so I know it, but I don't want to ruin the guess for someone else :blush:

Makes me say,"oh my lord thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet"
It feels good
When you know you're sown
A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known as such
And this is a beat-uh!

:teehee:

 

[Jazzey]

...Where have you been NN?!...I was waiting for you...the google bar is not helping me! :blush:

 

[NicNak]

Alana Davis - 32 flavours.

 

[Daniel E.]

You only get partial credit, NN, regarding "32 Flavors":

previously recorded by Ani DiFranco.

Alana Davis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Half a brownie

 

[Jazzey]

...we'll split the wares NN! BTW - nice song.

 

[NicNak]

...we'll split the wares NN! BTW - nice song.

For sure Jazzey

Makes me say,"oh my lord thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet"
It feels good
When you know you're sown
A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known as such
And this is a beat-uh!

:teehee: :blush:

You Can't Touch This by Mc Hammer

(I knew it was Mc Hammer before Googling.)

 

[NicNak]

I wanted to post a few lyrics of I'm afraid of Americans, by David Bowie and Trent Reznor, but there are not many lyrics that don't give it straight away.

:teehee: Just for you Daniel :rofl:

 

[Jazzey]

MC Hammer - Can't touch this!

 

[Jazzey]

Down in the street there is violence
And a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And I can't blame all on the sun, oh no

And yes, it's another oldie! (I make no apologies here! )
