70's lyrics

[GlosRFC]

Here we go then - back to the days of glam rock, punk, and cheesy Pan's People dances :D

Usual rules apply - song and artist required and no googling!

American Pie - Don McLean
2. You walked in to the party like you were walking on to a yacht
You're So Vain - Carly Simon
3. No I can't forget this evening or your face as you were leaving
Without You - Nilsson
4. The silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload
I Don't Like Mondays - The Boomtown Rats
5. In the deserts of Sudan and the gardens of Japan
Hit Me With Your Rhythnm Stick - Ian Dury And The Blockheads
6. Don't start the talking I could talk all night
Oliver's Army - Elvis Costello And The Attractions
7. I met a devil woman she took my heart away
You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - Bachman Turner Overdrive
8. She keeps Moet and Chandon in a pretty cabinet
Killer Queen - Queen
9. She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Rocket Man - Elton John
10. A church house gin house a school house out house
Nutbush City Limits - Ike And Tina Turner
11. Ooh I would take the stars out of the sky for you
You To Me Are Everything - The Real Thing
12. Young man
YMCA - The Village People
13. All night long you've been looking at me
Tiger Feet - Mud
14. Why do birds suddenly appear
Close To You - The Carpenters
15. When I find myself in times of trouble
Let It Be - The Beatles
16. You know that it would be untrue
Light My Fire - The Doors
17. I talk to my baby on the telephone long distance
Never Let Her Slip Away - Andrew Gold
18. Oh oh oh there she stood in the street smiling from her head to her feet
Alright Now - Free
19. You've done it all you've broken every code
Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) - Steve Harley And The Cockney Rebel
20. Ohoho let me tell you now when I had you to myself I didn't want you around
I Want You Back - Jackson 5
21. I'm so in love with you whatever you want to do is alright with me
Let's Stay Together - "Reverend" Al Green
22. You abandoned me
Love Don't Live Here Anymore - Rose Royce
23. I used to think life was sweet I used to think we were so complete
We Don't Talk Anymore - Cliff Richard
24. Well you're dirty and sweet clad in black don't look back
Get It On - T Rex
25. You get me in a spot, then smile the smile you got
Coz I Luv You - Slade

[scaaty]

9. Elton John - Rocket Man ?

[GlosRFC]

Only half right with no 6, BigC

[mathare]

6. Elvis Costello & The Attractions?

[GlosRFC]

Still a couple of well-known glam-rock bands to get, two very well-known US groups, one famous tennis fan, and a pair of crooners.

[scaaty]

23 Cliff Richard - It's so funny

[bigcumba]

25 - Slade - Coz I Luv You... classic!

[GlosRFC]

Well done on 25 - I chose an obscure lyric too

Probably the only line that was spelt correctly too!

[jonahjones]

I think number 17 was covered by someone in the mid to late nineties and I think it is called "slip away" but I can't, for the life of me, remember the artist.

[GlosRFC]

Close....but no cigar :wink

Covered by...errr....Undercover in 1992

Scaaty is close too....she just needs to sing the song and the title will come flooding back. "It's so funnnny, how...."

[scaaty]

Was it Jefferson Airplane - Don't Slip Away ?

[bigcumba]

Well done on 25 - I chose an obscure lyric too

Probably the only line that was spelt correctly too!

Been a big Slade fan since I was 10, still got fond memories of 70,000 folk singing Merry Christmas Everybody at the 1981 Donington festival.... in August :)

[scaaty]

Close....but no cigar :wink

Scaaty is close too....she just needs to sing the song and the title will come flooding back. "It's so funnnny, how...."

We don't talk anymore! Wasn't sure of the actual title :doh

[GlosRFC]

I was a Slade fan too!

And no, it wasn't Jeffereson Airplane. Wasn't a group come to think of it :wink

[GlosRFC]

Clue for 17 - Used to be in Linda Ronstadt's band before going solo. This was his highest British hit in 1978. The opening chords were then used by the Eagles for their single Heartache Tonight. He later went on to form a band with an ex-10cc member.

Clue for 20 - Huge HUGE US band although not performing now. Had 10 UK chart hits with this being the highest. Probably fair to say that the various siblings have had much greater success as solo artists.

Clue for 21 - Normally known with a clerical nom-de-plume, a very popular soul and R & B singer although he concentrates more on gospel music nowadays.

Clue for 13 - none, 'cos it's so bleedin' obvious when you sing it :D

[bigcumba]

13 - Tiger Feet by Mud.... how the hell I didn't get that sooner I don't know! Another of my favourite bands from my teenybop days

[bigcumba]

21 must be Al Green, but don't know the song

[mathare]

21 is Al Green then. Let's Stay Together?

[bigcumba]

21 must be Al Green, but don't know the song

that's come back to me now - Let's Stay Together!

[GlosRFC]

Hahaha...ready BigC?

All night long, you’ve been looking at me
Well you know you’re the dance hall cutie that you love to be
Oh well now, you’ve been laying it down
You’ve got your hips swinging out of bounds
And I like the way you do what you’re doin’ to me

Alright

That’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right I really love your tiger light
That’s neat, that’s neat, that’s neat, that’s neat, I really love your tiger feet

[AngieS]

17. Andrew Gold, Never let it slip away. (I think)

[GlosRFC]

Just one to get...and I'm surprised. Probably the biggest pop group in the world at the time!!

Answer going up in 3 minutes....

[bigcumba]

successful siblings means it must be the Jacskon 5... not sure of the song though.

[AngieS]

At a quess I would say the Osmonds cant think of the record though.

[GlosRFC]

Jackson 5 it was....maybe the chorus will prod your memories?

Oh baby give me one more chance
(show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(back in your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
(let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Yes I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Ya ya ya ya
(I want you back)
Na na na na

Anyone for 60's lyrics?

[AngieS]

A B C

[GlosRFC]

ABC....
...easy as...

123....
...or simple as...

Do re mi...
ABC, 123, baby, you and me girl

Errrr...quite a different song, Angie :wink

[AngieS]

It sounded right to me when I was singing it :doh.

Might do better on the 60's
