I can name that pop tune in 10 words

Cafe Society
261

moejuck – No, it’s neither. Right train of thought, but the band’s way obscure, I’m afraid.

176 is indeed Bullet To Blue Sky. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to Joshua Tree. It’s aces music to cook to. :slight_smile:

1952 Vincent Black Lightning? I love that song! But I never get to hear it. :frowning:

179 is indeed Road Movie To Berlin. I remember listening to that album over and over and over in 1990. :slight_smile:

193 is Major Tom by Peter Schilling. I have that one on my mix between Space Oddity and Rocketman…

262

Er, this sentence requires major editing.

263

Oh, and 181 is Mad World, saramamlana.

    127a. A week later I caught you kissing a girl who…
  1. His eyes go funny, you can’t place why
  1. Let’s take a walk with no point or no purpose

    The first person to point out that I missed any will be the one to compile the list for the next page.
265

I’ve got no guesses, but I’ve got more of my extremely easy clues.

  1. It’s love and darkness and my sidearm
  2. I should have changed that stupid lock
  3. My gift is my song and this one’s for you
  4. wouldn’t have to say you love me 'cause I’d already know

(OK, that last one is 11 words.)

And since it is a tradition now— #57 is I Am the Walrus!!!

266

198 I will survive, Gloria Gaynor
199 Your Song, Elton John (I think that’s the name)
200 More than words, Extreme?

267

hmm… I shudder to think what a pain this would be, but… Anyone wanna go back through and tally scores? :slight_smile:

268

Yes, yes and yes for gonzoron.

If I had enough time I would see how many each poster got. If I had enough time and I thought I was in the the top 10 I definitely would.
BTW, if someone posts an answer and no one says it ain’t right I take it as solved.

269

OK, it’s been long enough. Nobody gets the beer.

  1. Sunsets come and sunsets go,
    the clouds float by, the earth turns slow
    A young bird’s eyes do always glow

is White Bird by It’s a Beautiful Day.

And I encourage anyone who posted lyrics with numbers under, say, 150 to tell us what it was so we can all move on.

PS We need to split this thread into A) for you young punks (under 30?) and B) for us old farts. I’ve never HEARD of some of these bands. :wink:

270
  1. “Nothing can erase this night but there’s still light with you…rhapsody”
    Go ahead and Google this one :wink:
271

The last thread like this I started was Name That Tune '80’s Edition and all the songs had to be from the eighties. I thought about starting a '70s edition but then forgot. Next time.

272

“U Stink But I Luv U,” Billy and the Boingers [Flexi-disc that came with the Bloom County “Billy and the Boingers Bootleg” collection.]

  1. “Won’t go to Harlem in ermine and pearls.”
  2. “He’s five foot two and he’s six feet four”
273
  1. “He’s five foot two and he’s six feet four”

Isn’t that “Universal Soldier” by Buffy Sainte Marie?

274

Monkey Gone to Heaven by The Pixies

Labdad, I’m amazed that you got the Silos one. I’ve never heard of the Vulgar Boatment, but I’ll definitely check them out. Anyway, you’re racking up the beer in case you ever get out to Reno.

And I’ll add some more lines for 76 (hint: It’s for the youg punks):

275

I’ll look forward to that one. Guess I’m in the “old fart” category, because I’m scratching my head over a lot of these.

276

The Lady is a Tramp by any number of folks (Frank, Ella . . .)

277

Correct on “Monkey Gone to Heaven”, Enginerd.

  1. So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways
278
  1. I see your face I get all choked up inside.
    Of course! It’s Sugar Pie Honey Bunch by the Four Tops. Nice work Biggirl with the Jeopardy!-style theme category.

Here’s one for all you other Old Farts out there:

  1. “And we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden”

Pash

279

Woodstock - Joni Mitchell

280

Seems fair enough. The last ones I posted that are outstanding are 151 and 153, and I pretty much think no one’s gonna get 151 (tho I have hope for 153) so I’ll just give the answer.

  1. Now he’s combing through every ounce of trash
