Hints
- This week's Name That Tune is brought to you by the letters B and C.
- #8 - That's one powerful feline.
- #10 - The drummer's name is Roland. It's a song about allegations of child abuse! Yay! This was before the singer/guitar player became a big-time record producer/engineer.
- #11 - This album was recorded in an old church. C is for Canada.
- #14 - From their ultra-gloomy period.
- #18 - Maybe you should be made to wear earphones?
Leave your answers in comments. I'll mark them off as people get them.
The person with the most correct answers will win a medal!
As I did last time, I’m just going to pick off the low hanging fruit and hope to play keep-away. To be fully sportsmanlike, my initial post will not make any use of Teh Google.
1. Charlene / Never Been To Me
9. Black Sabbath / Iron Man
12. Byrds / Mr. Tambourine Man
15. Beatles / I’ve Just Seen A Face
17. Box Tops / The Letter
19. Blondie / The Tide Is High
20. Cheap Trick / I Want You To Want Me
Two more, after additional research:
7. Crosby, Stills, & Nash / Judy Blue Eyes
(making a repeat appearance)
13. Boston / Peace of Mind
And I feel like I’m this (||) close to getting 3, 4 and 14.
Plus, I guess I’m missing a word in the title of #1. “I’ve Never Been to Me.”
(making a repeat appearance)
oh now. i wouldn’t repeat so soon.
Damn, #7 is going to torture me. But now I have to get back to work.
#2 is ‘Brimful of Asha’ by Cornershop.
#4 is killing me! It’s on the tip of my tongue! Ack!
#6 is ‘Rudie Can’t Fail’ by ‘The Clash’.
4. Breeders- “Cannonball”
5.Cinderalla–“don’t Know what you’ve got (’til it’s gone)”
#6 is actually ‘Hateful’ by The Clash.
How utterly shameful that I get th’ Cinderella song right and the Clash song wrong.
IMO, many of those Clash songs are interchangeable. :)
#3 is the outro from The Cars “Bye Bye Love”
#7 is CSN but it’s “Helplessly Hoping”. Beautiful tune BTW
#16 is Cream “Spoonful”. I hope Willie Dixon got paid.
Hey, Cornershop!!
#7 sounds like the Bee Gees, but as usual I can’t name the song.
THANK YOU. I can relax now.
Same with that Breeders song. I must have heard that track 1500 times in the 90s, but had no idea who it was or what the title was.
Meh, shows what I know.
Hey #8 is Cat Power “He War”.
And clip #8 does also sound like pre-Saturday Night Fever Bee Gees.
And #14 is The Cure “Primary”, from back when Robert Smith was in junior high school or something.
Two basses on that!
And it’s #7 that sounds like the Bee Gees….
look at me, late to the party, and I can only get one:
#18: Bobby Dylan, Ballad of a Thin Man.
#11–Misguided Angel, Cowboy Junkies
BTW,that looks like a Cindy Brady wig in the photo :-)
no way. that’s my naturally curly blond mane!
Hey, Cornershop!!
the older it gets, the more i like that song.
bosom
Everyone needs a bosom for a pillow. It’s the truth.
Oh well, better late than never…
#10
Big Black – Jordan, Minnesota
nicely done. i didn’t think anyone was going to get the Big Black.
