And so we ask the funky musical question-- Wanna play name that tune?

Cafe Society
1

It’s name that tune with a theme. The lyric has got to be a question and the songs gotta be funky. Answer a question and add one.

  1. What good is a love affair if we can’t see eye to eye?

  2. Am I wrong to hunger for the gentleness of your touch knowing I got someone else at home who needs me just as much?

  3. Understand me won’t you try, try, try, try, try, try, try?

4.Don’t you know it’s time to get on board and let this train keep ridin’ on through?

5.Whatcha think? Whatcha feel? Whatcha know?

6.Who’s the black private dick who’s a sex machine to all the chicks?

1 - If You Don’t Know Me By Now - Stylistics? Covered by Simply Red, too.

2 - I know this one…it’s hovering on the periphery of my brain…

3 - No idea.

4 - To Be Real - Chaka Khan

5 - Shaft! - Isaac Hayes

3

2 - If Lovin’ You is Wrong I Don’t Wanna be Right - but the artist continues to elude me. Didn’t Barbara Mandrell cover it in the late 70’s or early 80’s?

4

To Be Real isn’t by Chaka-- that’s Cheryl Lynn
If You Don’t Know Me By Now is by the wonderful, incredible group Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes.

Plus, you didn’t add any!

5

CRAP! It’s # 3 I have no idea about.

Number 4 is Love Train, by the O’Jays.

Chaka’s #5, Isaac’s #6.

Sorry!! I’ll go away now.

6

If somebody else besides me knows the artist who sang If Loving You Is Wrong. . . I’ll give them a cookie!

7

I suck at these games, can you tell?

Umm. Lemme think…

7 - Aren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?

8

I will survive - Gloria Gaynor

“How could you love me and leave me and never say goodbye?”

9

I’m ready for the shuffle
Ready for the deal
Ready to let go of the steering wheel

10

“How could you love me and leave me and never say goodbye?”

One of my favorites! BoysIIMen End of the Road.

11

If lovin’ you is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. Millie Jackson!

“The long-haired hippies and afro blacks all get together across the tracks”

12

El Mariachi’s is a Digable Planets tune, but I can’t remember which one…

How 'bout

Please don’t say nothin’ to make her start cryin’ and stay

13

#3 is Let’s Just Kiss and Say Goodbye, I think by The Stylistics.

14

And twit’s is from U2’s Zoo Station

So we’ve got:

  1. “Please don’t say nothin’ to make her start cryin’ and stay”
  2. “They chase us like outlaws like rustlers like thieves”
  3. “She dug him 'cause he drove a pickup truck”
15

8 - Sylvia’s Mother by Dr. Hook.

And I’d like to point out that none of the above clues are questions. Just so y’all know I’m not the only one who can’t read the rules :smiley:

I’m not adding any because there are already unanswered ones up here.

16
  1. Deportee - Woody Guthrie
  2. Pamela Brown - Tom T. Hall

Tres Funky

  1. “Why don’t you come and hit me with that flow, baby?”
17

These are unanswered (probably 'cuz they ain’t questions and they ain’t funky!)

  1. “They chase us like outlaws like rustlers like thieves”
  2. “She dug him 'cause he drove a pickup truck”

and a few more.

  1. Who says pretty boys can’t be wild niggaz?

  2. How gentle is the rain that falls softly on the meadow?

  3. Just because you’re not for real, why you want to hurt me bad?
    You guys have to brush up on R&B artists. Let’s Just Kiss and Say Goodbye is by The Manhattans (the group, not the mod or the island). Millie Jackson may have remade by Millie Jackson, but she wasn’t the original artist. The cookie is still up for grabs.

18

That should be Millie Jackson may have remade If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don’t Want To Be Right, but blah, blah. . .

19

Rod Stewart?

  1. Lover’s Concerto - The Supremes
20

Right song, wrong artist. I think.

Isn’t it The Toys?
