Name That Tune!

[stoutfellow]

I thought I'd try this one, a challenge for y'all. These are lines from twenty-five songs, taken from the top of Playlist #1 on my hard drive. Two points for the song title; one point for naming somebody who sang it, two if it's the version I have. [No Googling, of course.]

1. "As far as I can see, this is heaven"
2. "We've been through so much together, we stand as one, and that's what makes it better"
3. "If I tell you, if I tell you now, will you keep on telling me?"
4. "Money, we make it, 'fore we see it, you take it"
5. "I guess when you met me, it was just one of those things" [?, "Come Rain or Come Shine", countrycousin]
6. "As I lay by your side 'n' hold you tonight, I want you to understand"
7. "Girl you're such a bad thing, standing there all alone"
8. "Deep down inside, I know I still love him, but he'll never know, I'll never tell"
9. "Green fields and rolling hills, room enough to do what we will"
10. "Up in the morning and out to school, the teacher is teaching the Golden Rule" [Chuck Berry, "School Day", mukhtar]
11. "We hear you're leaving, that's OK"
12. "I'm always somewhere that I never belong"
13. "Look out of my window, see the world passing by"
14. "Yeah I was livin' in St. Louis in the year 1955"
15. "There's a lotta strange men in Cell Block 10" [Johnny Cash, ?, neonnurse]
16. "Remember hallways you're waiting always to see behind the door" [The Lovin' Spoonful, "She Is Still a Mystery", neonnurse]
17. "When the Sun comes up on a sleepy little town, down around San Antone" [Doobie Brothers, "China Grove", whouseknecht]
18. "I've been thinking about our fortune and I've decided that we're really not to blame" [Moody Blues, "The Story in Your Eyes", whouseknecht]
19. "When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now" [Beatles, "When I'm 64", kikibug13]
20. "Hang it up, boys, yesterday's dreams and matinees"
21. "It's not that you're wrong, it's just that I am right"
22. "Sailing away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic" [ELO, "Livin' Thing", whouseknecht]
23. "Show me a river that's so deep, show me a mountain so high"
24. "Lately, love keeps keeping me awake at night"
25. "Running out of self-control, getting close to an overload"

Have at it!

19: The Beatles, When I'm 64.

And I'm too braindead to place the rest.

[stoutfellow.livejournal.com]

I figured that one would go fast. Four points.

13 - Gordon Lightfoot - Carefree Highway (I think)
17 - Doobie Brothers - China Grove
22 - Electric Light Orchestra - Livin' Thing

[stoutfellow.livejournal.com]

13's a miss, but you got the other two. Eight points.

[whouseknecht.livejournal.com]

18 - Moody Blues - The Story in Your Eyes

[stoutfellow.livejournal.com]

Four points.

5. Come Rain or Come Shine - don't recall who did it.

I know I've heard 10 and 15, but the synapses are stubbornly refusing to connect. Most of the rest don't even ring bells.

[stoutfellow.livejournal.com]

Two points.

[gryphons-lair.livejournal.com]

#4 is Money, Money, Money by Abba

[stoutfellow.livejournal.com]

'Fraid not.

[gryphons-lair.livejournal.com]

Oh well, it was the only one I even had a guess for, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

23: River Deep, Mountain High, Tina Turner (with Ike's name on the record).

[stoutfellow.livejournal.com]

Nope.

I'm guessing 10. is School Days. Either by Chuck Berry or AC/DC. Judging from the rest of the ones that have been guessed right, I'd probably say Chuck.

[stoutfellow.livejournal.com]

Close enough. Four points.

10 is by Chuck Berry, and it's the one that has almost exactly the same rhythm and musical sound as "No Particular Place to Go", but I think it's the other one. That has a bit in it about only having 20 minutes to eat, and you're fortunate if you can find a seat. That one.

I think 15 is by Johnny Cash, and I bet I will know it when you give the title.

16 is Still A Mystery to Me, by The Lovin' Spoonful.

(I need to post the rest of the songs from MY quiz.... *sigh* )

mukhtar beat you to #10, but you get six points for the others.
