[Alix]

OK, Corinne, I think you stumped us all. I came up with "I need a lover who won't drive me crazy" but I don't know if thats the title or not.

 

[Corinne]

OK, Corinne, I think you stumped us all. I came up with "I need a lover who won't drive me crazy" but I don't know if thats the title or not.

That's it! "I Need a Lover". Now, who did it?

 

[Alix]

Forget it! Do you have any idea how long it took me just to find the lyrics???? LOL!

 

[urmaniac13]

Now I know that song! John Cougar Mellencamp did it. While he was still calling himself simply as "John Cougar"

 

[Chief Longwind Of The North]

Your Turn Urmaniac. Just for the sake of knowledge, Pat Benetar did a cover of that song as well.

Seeeeeya; Goodweed of the North

 

[urmaniac13]

wheeee!

Okay, for a change of pace I will take everyone a wee bit closer to today's generation. This one is from the last decade.

It is a challenge to find a material easily recognizable to wider range of audience, but this song was HUGE and EVERYWHERE so just about everyone should remember it, shouldn't be too hard.


Now from the deepest of the darkest of night
On the horizon, bright light in the site tight
Cameras zoom, only impending doom
But then like BOOM black suits fill the room up
With the quickness talk with the witnesses
Hypnotizer, neuralizer
Vivid memories turn to fantasies

 

[Bugs]

Men in Black by Will Smith



"Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on"

 

[Alix]

Bad Day, whatshisname Powter.

This one is for you Bugs...

I'm sitting at the wheel
I got a green light
Not afraid of nothin' cuz heart and soul
I'm built for life
So let the engine roar
Push the pedal down
I want the white lines on the highway
To lead me out of town
I'm rolling on and on and on
Who knows where I'm goin'?

 

[Bugs]

i was just listening to that!

it's "Open Road" by Bryan Adams

hang on...gotta find a song

 

[Bugs]

"And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneakin' out"

 

[Alix]

NICKELBACK!! Photograph. I LOVE that one babe, thanks!

OK, got to find a lyric in my brain. OK, here's a classic (heh heh heh)

I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say that I just dont get it
I dont know where we went wrong
But the feelins gone
And I just cant get it back

 

[Bugs]

NICKELBACK!! Photograph. I LOVE that one babe, thanks!

OK, got to find a lyric in my brain. OK, here's a classic (heh heh heh)

I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say that I just dont get it
I dont know where we went wrong
But the feelins gone
And I just cant get it back

that's "If you could read my mind" by Gordon Lightfoot.

"From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
but here we are, we're here tonight."

 

[urmaniac13]

So you are a Nickelback fan, bugs!! Well, no wonder for a good Canadian girl!! It is their "If everyone cared"

Ah! here's my next contribution, pretty easy one...

"And your skin, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know
For you I'd bleed myself dry"

 

[Alix]

Coldplay...um...working...

 

[buckytom]

yellow.

my buddy joe mckenna does a great rendition of that. not sure if it's on his myspace page, but some of his other songs are. check his music out: www.myspace.com/joemckenna

 

[Dina]

Bugs,Justin's a Nickelback fan too. They played "Photograph" on their last day of school in 6th grade (here it's still Elementary) and every single kid was in tears cause some were going to other schools and all were saying goodbye. Goodbye is a very hard word to say.

 

[urmaniac13]

Bucky you are up, I listened to your friend Joe, I didn't find his version of Yellow but he has a real nice touch, I can imagine his rendition would be lovely. He also sounds a bit like James "You Are Beautiful" Blunt. Thanks for sharing!!
Honorary mention goes to Alix, you came to very close!!

 

[buckytom]

thanks "leesh".

ok, here's one for you, from one of my favourite cd's to strap onto my ears, speed skates on the feet and go burn up some road.

Bob Marley Was A Prophet For The Freedom Fight
"If Dancin' Prays To The Lord Then I Shall Feel Alright"
It Feels To Play A Little Music
Tears Running Down My Face 'Cause I Love To Do It

 

[Bugs]

Hey Dina!
I wish they had played "Photograph" at my grade 6 grad! I LOVE Nickelback. they rule. (grade 6 is still elementary here too). I'm actually listening to that c.d. right now. lol.
