ISO 80s lyrics - The challenge

[redelicious]

wild guess...

High Wire by Men at Work


Here's another set to try...

Oh, I can't take another heartache
Though you say oh my friend, I'm at my wit's end
You say your love is bonafide, but that don't coincide

With the things that you do and when I ask you to be nice
You say you've got to be...

Cruel to be kind???

LOL, ty for supplying the artist. I would've never gotten that.

Uh oh, guess it is my turn again. BRB!

 

[redelicious]

Ok, I think this one just barely qualifies:

You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait 'till I get you home
We've got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last...

I like the song...I think it is the Pet Shop Boys--West End Girls???

Nahhhhh I just love music and have alot of tunes stored in my head. Try this one...it is short but distinctive in the song--

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
[Say it again]

No clue!!

Another hint....here's the lyrics at the beginning of the song--

Way back when in Sixty seven
I was the dandy of Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston so young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale where the hell am I

Sounds like Steely Dan to me

Hey 19?

Steely Dan?

 

[Arden]

Hi Red!

 

[alwaysawake]

Hey 19?

Steely Dan?

Yes...absolutely correct on both counts, Cleo

 

[Cleopatra]

Yes...absolutely correct on both counts, Cleo

Cool. More? I'm bored.

This MAY be from the 70's but I love the lyrics and have actually met the artist twice in person...

And every Saturday we work in the yard
Pick up the dog do
Hope that it's hard (whaf whaf)
Take out the garbage and clean out the garage
My friend's got a Chrysler
I've got a Dodge
We're just...(Lyrics here are the song title)

Joe Walsh...Ordinary Average Guys


Here's one definitely from the 80's...

Toe to toe
Dancing very slow
Barely breathing
Almost comatose

Wall to wall
People hypnotized
And they're stepping
Lightly
Hang each night in...(Next lyric is the song title)

 

[redelicious]

Hi Red!

Hey Arden!

LOL, AA, I mighta guessed Hey 19 if you had posted the easy lyrics first.

As it is, I am clueless again.

Second and third clues...the artist was a Playboy bunny at one time and this was one of the first videos that had rapping on it.

Last clue...part of the rap--

Fat fine Freddie
Told me everybody's high
DJ's spinnin'
Are savin' my mind
Flash is fast, flash is cool
Francois sez fas
Flashe' no do
And ya don't stop
Sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And ya get in your car
And ya drive real far
And ya drive all night
And then ya see a light
And it comes right down
And lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And ya try to run
But he's got a gun...

 

[Arden]

No clue either, AA, lol. Geeze, I'm so deficient in the world of Bunnydom... since I never subscribed to the mags, all I can think of are celeb types or those that made headlines. Barbi Benton (lol), Dorothy Stratton...


Here's one for you that's older too... end of the 60s.

All of the players were playing together
And all of the heavies were light as a feather
All I remember is a feeling tomorrow
And as I recall the rest will just follow

The singer/composer went on to write sitcom and advertising tunes... (should be a dead giveaway)
