Music Meme
Okay, so as not to be left out...
But, I'm going to do this a little differently. I don't do MP3's, I don't own a CD player and the only CDs I own are a few Native American music ones that I doubt anyone could identify. I rarely listen to the radio beyond WBZ talk radio and WUMB folk radio. And the last time I watched MTV was when Michael Jackson premiered Thriller. So I look at all the song lyrics people have been posting and say "Huh! I have no clue."
But I do sing every other Friday night and I am currently editing a songbook for our singing group, I am going to randomly open the song book and pick lines from songs.
A few hints. The song book has 606 pages currently. The songs are in the book alphabetically by title. They are all songs that are pretty much singable by a group of people. They are pretty random where they come from, some are folk, traditional, show tunes, 50's, 60's, 70's 80's and 90's pop and classic rock, Big Band stuff, all kinds of music, definitely not from one genre.
I'll give the page number that the song is on and a line or two from the song. (Think about the page numbers, if the title is near the beginning of the alphabet, the page number will be lower...) Yes, I have sung every one of these song at one time or another.
You give me the title, and performer(or show it's from), kudos if you know the actual author.
**No cheating and looking them up on the net... All of these songs are on G's web site. Yes, you can find all the answers by googling on the lines of the songs.
Without further ado...
1. Pg. 100: Trying to get a fish on the line/At the coffee house Sebastian sat
2. Pg. 157: If you find it hard to walk and chew, there's lots of other folks like you/Learning Kumbaya, Oh Lord, An F chord is it's own reward
3. Pg. 179: Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by and have a few drinks/After she puts the kids to bed
4. Pg. 267: Like a trip through the past, from that day in the rain/And that one guitar made his whole life change
5. Pg. 297: He's not selling any alibis/As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
6. Pg. 337: I was afraid that God would frown/But like he did so long ago at Jericho
7. Pg. 373: Come'n hear of L. Ron Hubbard/Who was recently discovered
8. Pg. 409: Word of my heart lined up like prisoners on a fence/The dreams came in like needy children tugging at my sleeve
9. Pg. 474: And I find myself careening/Into places where I should not let me go
10. Pg. 499: Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a lad/My father gave me nose a tweak and told me I was bad
11. Pg. 518: You keep lying when you oughta be truthin'/You keep losing when you oughta not bet
12. Pg. 543: And if the world around you falls apart my love/Then I'll still be here
13. Pg. 554: Every Friday, Karen and Katy/Go to take care of babies with AIDS
14. Pg: 579: Love for all it's newborn joy, may later take it's toll/For expectations not quite met may finally come to boil
15. Pg. 603: That was a hit before your mother was born/Though she was born a long, long time ago
And Bonus one...
16. Pg. 213: When the tears of God rain down from heaven/To wash across the mountains
I think that'll be it for now...
Have Fun.
