I got this idea from a local radio station that started playing 80s rock 'all the time'. So, the jist of this thread is to deliver a line from a popular 80s song. Pretty much anyhthing that would have charted in the whole decade.
The next poster has to identify the song and the artist and then, of course, give their own line for the next guy to figure out.
Example;
Uncommon Sense: Blew out the speakers in her daddys radio.
Next guy: That would be ‘Shakin’’ by Eddie Money.
She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies
Next guy after next guy: That would be ‘You shook my all night long’, by ACDC.
OK, those were easy…
Try not to google the line. Sites like lyrics.com are ok to use to verify that the line you want to use is the actual line. So that someone will not actually trot out ‘Excuse me while I kiss this guy’ or anything.
Feel free to offer up multiple lines (from different songs, max of four) in one post for the next people to guess.
Oh, and when you guess, try to come up with the original artist, not the second or third cover.
Uncommon Sense:
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams - blinded by me, you can’t see a thing.
It’s more than a touch or a word we say only in dreams could it be this way
May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down - when they do I’ll be right behind you
(You only need to know at least one of those to play.)
UC1: Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams - blinded by me, you can’t see a thing
Master of Puppets - Metallica
MR2: I’ll be your baby, I’ll be your score/ I’ll run the gun for you, and so much more…
I’ll Tumble For Ya – not you, Robin, but Culture Club.
MR4: Every breath you take/Every cake you bake…
Not sure on this, but I think that’s Love Is the Seventh Wave by Sting.
TL1: Use the body, now you want my soul…
TL2: They say we’re crazy but I just don’t care…
TL3: I love you even if you think that I don’t…
TL4: I’m not so tough, but if you let me down…
US3 : US3: May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam
[ul][li]Forever Young - Rod Stewart[/ul][/li] NDP1 : Income tax deduction/What a hell of a function.
[ul][li]Bastards of Young – The Replacements[/ul][/li]
I won’t add anything, I’ll just recap the outstanding unnamed lyrics:
US1: Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams - blinded by me, you can’t see a thing.
MR3: Every breath you take/Every cake you bake… (Answered but unconfirmed)
MR4: What can I do? Pictures of you still make me cry…
TL2: They say we’re crazy but I just don’t care…
TL3: I love you even if you think that I don’t…
TL4: I’m not so tough, but if you let me down…
I shouldn’t, but goodness, Rilch and I simulposted and this is too good to pass up.
Ril-1: D.C., San Antone and the Liberty town, Boston and Baton Rouge
[ul][li]The Heart of Rock n’Roll - Huey Lewis & The News[/ul][/li] Ril-2: We’re livin’ in a powder keg and givin’ off sparks
[ul][li]Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler[/ul][/li] Ril-3: I bought a ticket to the world, but now I’ve come back again
[ul]True - Spandau Ballet[/ul]
Well dang, there went my whole reason for entering this thread.
Then again, I suppose it’s time I stopped being a one-note character anyhow. To that end:
You lift me up, like the sweetest cup I’d share with you.
TL3: I love you even if you think that I don’t…
Howard Jones: “What Is Love Anyway?”
“I met a strange lady/She made me nervous/She took me in and gave me breakfast.”
