Music Puzzle 3

Music Puzzle Number 3
Round 3 for those interested.

Had a little delay in posting. Things are ok, now.

*********************************

How are your music memories from the 50s, 60s and 70s?

I did a number of questions (they were for crosswords) of music of the 50s to the 70s for our 50 year class reunion in 2016.

These have been redone without the “crossword look” for the reunion and are just straight up snippets of lyrics from some of the songs of that era. Some are easy, some aren’t so easy. The idea is to name the song based on the “snippet” of the lyrics. It went over very well with the classmates.

These lyrics are from the most popular versions as there were “covers” by other singers or groups that may have changed a few words. So if you disagree with an answer, it may be that you remember a different artist’s rendition.

I have 15 of these sheets but don’t know whether to post the answers WITH the posts or wait a day or two to add them or don’t even know if anyone wants anymore. Let me know what you think in the comments.

It might be best to highlight then copy the questions for printing at your leisure, or to try them out on some friends not on DU.
Of course, you can always “cheat” a little by looking up the lyrics on bing or google to get an answer. But that does take the fun out of it.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little diversion from the seriousness of today.

Sheet 3

" 1 ..well it's just a coffee house and it's, made out of wood; expresso coffee tastes, mighty good..."

" 4 ..I'll be your Tarzan you'll be my Jane, I'll keep you warm but you'll keep me sane, sit in the trees and eat bananas all day..."
“ 5 ..look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes; stroll around the grounds until you feel at home...

" 20 ..why must you hurt me, do what you do; listen here girl can't you see I love you..."
" 21 ..there is someone, who really needs you, here's my heart, in my hand..."
" 22 ..and should she ask me how I'm doing, what will I say, things are ok when I know that they're not; and I still may have lost..."

" 31 ..and I love you best, you're not like the rest; you're there when I need you you're there when I need..I'm gonna need you..."
" 32 ..do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal; your eyes have died, you see more than I..."
" 33 ..I was as wrong as I could be, to let you get away from me; I'll regret that move for as long as I'm livin'..."
" 34 ..three deuces and a four-speed, and a 389..."

" 43 ..why don't you come out, come out, to my, twist party; come out, where the night moon shines..."
" 44..slippin' away, sittin' on a pillow, waitin' for night to fall; girl in a dream, sittin' on a pillow..."

Man back on the Moon!

NASA pushed back its manned trip to the moon til 2025.

Maybe Bezos or Tesla could beat them to the punch by early 2024! It wouldn't be hard. Just get someone willing to be enshrined in the "anals" of history who wants to be recognized as the firstest and bestest of everything.

To that end I nominate TFG to be the first on the moon since the 70s with the help of our 2 billionaires! They can get Kirk and other 70s notables so why not the most notable wanting egotist currently on earth?

It really wouldn't be too hard getting him there. I'm sure Jeff would love nothing more than giving his biggest admirer such notoriety...and do it for free. In case there's not enough money, we can start a Go Fund Me site to get him the money or maybe the Chinese Space Agency would volunteer to help (they love him so much!). Of course, there's always Vlad to provide funds for him in case.

Then, in 2025, the NASA mission could bring him back...maybe even get a movie of him called "The Lunarian" or "The Man Who Soiled the Moon."

Oh wait. Just in. NASA MAY have to hold off til late 2025 or 2026. No problem. Set up a remote Fox news site for him and we can watch as he enjoys his extended stay and provides countless interviews.

Looking forward to a new face on the moon!

Then next we could send McCarthy, Jordan, MTG, Boebert...

Let's see what's playing this month @ Manchin-Sinema

6 ..we gonna ride 'til there ain't no more to go, takin' it slow...
7 ..oh when we walk, it seems like paradise, and when we talk, it always feels so nice...
8 ..and when the broken-hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer...
9 ..since my love has left me, I'm so all alone; I would bring her back to me, but I don't know where she's gone...
10 ..regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention..I did, what I had to do, and saw it through, without exemption...
11 ..on the day that you were born the angels got together, and decided to create a dream come true...
12 ..good God y'all, what is it good for; absolutely nothing...
13 ..so I'm down and so I'm out, but so are many others..so I feel, like tryin' to hide, my head, 'neath these covers...
14 ..put on a ragged sweatshirt, I'll take you anywhere you want to go...

16 ..you need coolin'; baby I'm not foolin'; I'm gonna send ya, back to schoolin'...
17 ..a long time ago when the earth was green, there was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen...

23 ..nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina; music would play and Felina would whirl...
24 ..hey well I'm a friendly stranger in the black sedan, won't you hop inside my car; I got pictures, got candy, I'm a loveable man...
25 ..your mind is filled with the thoughts of a certain someone, that you love...
26 ..we are but a moments sunlight, fading in the grass...
27 ..I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover, you'll know who I am by the song that I sing...
28 ..hey she give me lovin' I feel alright now...
29 ..you think that you're such a smart girl, and I'll believe what you say; but who do you think you are girl, to lead me on this way...
30 ..when I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy...
31 ..hearts go astray, leaving hurt when they go; I went away, just when you, you needed me so...
32 ..lyin' beside you, here in the dark; feeling your heartbeat in mine; softly you whisper, you're so sincere, how could our love be so blind...
33 ..sent a letter to me, she said to hurry home, I need you right away...
34 ..I know your daddy don't mind, and your mommy don't mind, if we have another dance, yeah, just a one more..one more time...

36 ..well she got her daddy's car and she cruised through the hamburger stand now...
37 ..Frank Zappa and the Mothers, had the best place around; some stupid with a flare gun, burned the place to the ground...
38 ..shall we talk a while; would you like, some of my, tangerine; I know I'd never treat you mean...
39 ..now hey you mister, can't you read; you've gotta have a shirt and tie to get a seat...
40 ..'cause I'm lonely and I'm blue, and I need your love, too; come on and...
41 ..what goes up, must come down...
42 ..just when I thought I was over you, just when I thought I could stand on my own; oh baby, those memories come crashing through...
43 ..better get back to the woods, well I, quit those days, and my, red neck ways...
44 ..remember me to one who lives there, she once was, a true love of mine...
45 ..hey girl, I bet you, there's someone out to get you; you'll find him anywhere, on a bus, in a bar, in a grocery store...
46 ..gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down, should'a been gone long ago...
47 ..darlin', if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me...
48 ..she comes around here, just about midnight; she makes me feel so good, lord, she makes me feel alright; and her name is...
49 ..I took her home, to my place; watchin' every move on her face...
50 ..well I gave it all, to a child of God; he was walkin' along the road and I asked him tell me where are you goin'...
51 ..we tried to talk it over, but the words came out too rough...
52 ..wash away my troubles, wash away my pain, with the rain of...
53 ..blue eyes and a pony tail; cheeks are rosey, she looks a little nosey, man, this little girl is fine...
54 ..all of a sudden that old rain's fallin' down, and my world is cloudy with rain; you've gone away...
