Okay, this one is shaky. I know it is Harry Nilsson and that it is from his show “The Point” which I liked quite a bit back then – probably would still like it. I believe the actual song is “Down” but I can’t quite put my finger on the title.

Your almost home, ddgryphon, but you don’t have the title.

Now that you’re thinking about it why not check it out again? It’ll be released on DVD in August (I just checked it out of the library on VHS and it’s still fun after all these years).

I was also thinking this was by Nilsson and from The Point–is the title “Think About Your Troubles”?

Good job! That’s it, Spoons.

k8 is Soldiers by James Taylor.

Not sure how this number scheme works, as I’ve tried my darnedest to stay away from this thread, but here goes:

Melf1: “Long ago I reached for you and there you stood. Holding you again could only do me good.”

[Biggirl]

You guys have a buttload more stamina than I do. I’ma gonna give the answers my two outstanding lyrics (and shame on you all. I give the easiest clues ever!)

BG6- I feel I need you, baby-- To Be Real, Cheryl Lynn

BG8- Take this handkerchief and dry your eyes-- Let’s Just Kiss and Say Goodbye, The Manhattans (the singing group. Not the island or the mod)

[Suse]

Juji_Mojo - yes!

Melf1 - So Far Away - Carole King

Biggirl - see what you started?
