On another forum there’s a thread where you’re supposed to only post one, two, or three words. In that thread somebody posted “We can dance” which of course reminded me of the song Safety Dance.
So I’ve been wondering now, what songs can be identified by the first two or three words of the opening lyrics? Besides we can dance, I can think of:
Hey Jude
Wake up Maggie
And there was one from the 80’s I forget now. But anyway, what are your entries?
Hey Joe
Truckin’
Louie Louie
I hate to ask but, what song is that from?
I presume we’re discounting songs which start with the chorus or title? 'Cos that’s kind of cheating…
My entries:
The Missisippi Delta
Some say Love
Mama, just killed
Young teacher
Just a castaway
(I don’t know this "truckin’ one either…)
Strangers… (mind you, if you need someone to start singing before you recognize Strangers in the Night, either you’re having a brainfart or their musicians play like a brick wall).
That is a spot-on suggestion. I can’t read those words without seguing into the first verse.
I also can’t hear “Hey!” without appending
… Said the man to the lady
Hello darkness my
I got chills
A lovestruck Romeo
Hey! Teacher!
Shouldn’t that be “we don’t need”?
A long, long
Aruba, Jamaica
Two words too many:
Amazing…
yeah, obviously Grace
supposedly the most popular song chosen by us Westerners.
It’s Britney, bitch
Anyone know these? I tried to make them not-too-easy but not impossible:
(all considered classic rock)
We’re so sorry…
I was born…
She grew up…
They pulled in…
We’ll be fighting…
Lights out tonight…
With a purple…
Well, it’s eight…
Just got home…
Lines form on…
mmm
Yes, because my impulse is to go “…waiting, up and down the boulevard…”
…Uncle Albert
…in a crossfire hurricane
Somewhere over the…
Sunshine came softly . . .
You say yes . . .
Please allow me . . .
