Name That Tune

[Halo]

Looks like a clue is needed...

Look at my signature for a (huge) clue to the band. The first line of the song is the title.

 

[blueboatdriver]

Hand in Glove- Smiths

 

[Halo]

Correct! Your turn, blueboatdriver.

 

[blueboatdriver]

Is it my go yet?

 

[blueboatdriver]

Here goes:

You can’t stop us on the road to freedom
You can’t stop us ’cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry

 

[Halo]

I think it might be time for a clue...

 

[blueboatdriver]

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten all about it.Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........give me a minute.


Get the artist's first name from the title of one of the books from Roddy Doyle's; The Barrytown trilogy.

 

[blueboatdriver]

Oh come on, it's by Van Morrison.

Tupelo Honey

Need a confirm blueboatdriver.

 

[blueboatdriver]

You've got it. It's definitley one of my top ten.

 

[muggle]

I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
When you stopped to say Hello
You wished me well
You couldn’t tell

Crying by Roy Orbison?

 

[muggle]

Crying by Roy Orbison?

You are correct. It is one of my favorites by both Roy Orbison and Don McLean.

 

[Poppy1]

I hadn't realised (or remembered ) that Don McLean had sung that song. I really like it too.

My song is:

why you look so sad
when the sky is perfect blue
and you're getting everything
you ever wanted to.

 

[Poppy1]

Do you want a hint? It comes off an album called Union

 

[muggle]

Stop Your Fussin by Toni Childs

 

[Poppy1]

You are correct. I sound like that lady off The Weakest Link

 

[muggle]

Ok, lets see how far back y'all can go, try this lyric:

Put your glad rags on and join me, hon,
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one,
