You won't find a better loser.

[Eddie Haskell]

for the oldsters on line:

"The western world has a common dedication, to keep free people from Red domination..."

No one will ever get this one:

"Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue..... pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue... Oh Peggy... my Peggy Sue..." (Hint: its a girls name)

 

[Anders]

Don't know Ed's 1st one but it sure ain't by Phil Ochs, Woody Guthrie or Billy Bragg

2nd one's a toughie Ed

OK folks - clue time.

"Baby baby baby baby oh baby"....a familial group, a staple "diet" of MOR '70s radio

 

[Eddie Haskell]

Anders:

You are correct. It is not Ochs, Guthrie or Braggs. Actually, its a group called the Spinsters or something close to that. The 1965 song entitled Dawn of Correction was recorded in response to Barry McGuires' Eve of Destruction.

Back in the 60's i guess I did too many mushrooms and ended up bi-polar one day listening to positive Dawn, the next day, negative Eve.

with regard to number two, of course, that's everybody's favorite, "Gloria" by the Shadows of Night.

can't recall yours

I'm a newby here, but I'll giva ya one and even give ya the answer cause it describes my wagering lately

"I get closer, to holding the rope and takin the fall, cause I'm a loser"

"loser" Three doors down

Anders:

Probably not right but:

Ray Stevens; Guitarzan!

Ha!

Really like this thread and wanted to bump it back up!

 

[Anders]

Keep guessing team

He was an over-bearing brother, she badly needed a steak

Well, that should have given it away

 

[redsfann]

The Carpenters???
Karen coulda used more that just a steak--- like maybe a whole cow....

 

[Anders]

yup - now name the song

 

[BBMF]

Anders: Is it Superstar? I only partly hope I'm right...would hate for any of my friends to know that I know this

Try these:

1. The Dream is over what more can I say.
The Dream is over like yesterday.

2. Flying so high trying to remember.
How many cigarettes did I bring along.

3. There's whiskey and bad cocaine, there's poison enough to blame and if that don't kill soon the women will down at....

Good Luck
Love the thread!

 

[Anders]

BBMF - u got it bud

and I'm gonna contact all your friends today to let them know

Your one's have me stumped, leaving it to the other experts

Anders,

Phil Ochs brings back memories for me.

Saw him in concert at Central Park, New York City, in Spring '67.

Excellent

"Small Circle of Friends"
"Flower Lady"

Thanks for the memory.

 

[Eddie Haskell]

Over 40 crowd:

"It was raining hard in Frisco,
I needed one more fare to make my night..."

Should be an easy one.

 

[Eddie Haskell]

and another easy one from the 70's:

"When I die and they lay me to rest,
Gonna go to the place that's the best..."

good luck

 

[yyz]

Haskel,

Harry Chapin, and Norman Greenbaum.

 

[Eddie Haskell]

Titles?

 

[BBMF]

Eddie:

Taxi and Spirit in the Sky!

Any guesses on mine?????

 

[Anders]

Buddy - Ochs live, way too

I got lead to him by Dylan and also this great song by Billy Bragg..

Dreamed I Saw Phil Ochs Last Night


<<< I dreamed I saw Phil Ochs last night
Alive as you and me
Says I to Phil "You're ten years dead"
"I never died" says he
"I never died" says he

The music business killed you Phil
They ignored the things you said
And cast you out when fashions changed
Says Phil "But I ain't dead"
Says Phil "But I ain't dead"

The FBI harassed you Phil
They smeared you with their lies
Says he "But they could never kill
What they could not compromise
I never compromised"

"Though fashion's changed and critics sneered
The songs that I have sung
Are just as true tonight as then
The struggle carries on
The struggle carries on"

With the song of freedom rings out loud
From valleys and from hills
Where people stand up for their rights
Phil Ochs is with us still
Phil Ochs inspires us still

It's probably kind of sappy, but I have always loved that Bonnie Tyler song "total eclipse of the heart".
