ISO 80s lyrics - The challenge

[alwaysawake]

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

Scratching head...I am thinking Burt Bacharach but am still clueless

I Had A Dream
(John Sebastian)

I had a dream last night
What a lovely dream it was
I dreamed we all were alright
Happy in a land of Oz

Why did everybody laugh
when I told them my dream
I guess they all were so far
from that kind of scene
Feeling mean

I heard a song last night
What a lovely song it was
I thought I´d hum it all night
Unforgettable because

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

I had a dream last night
What a lovely dream it was
I dreamed we all were alright
Happy in a land of Oz
Happy in a land of Oz

It was a Woodstock song. John Sebastian went on to write the theme song to "Welcome Back Kotter" and many commercials. Don't have a clue if he's still active in the industry today.

Off to bed with me, my Mc Affe & Windows updates are done now.
Have fun!

High five to forehead...good one Arden. Huggers and sweet dreams--AA

 

[alwaysawake]

Here's my last one from the 80's for tonight...heading for the sack--AA

Forty-seven dead beats living in the back street
North east west south all in the same house
Sitting in a back room waiting for the big boom
I'm in a bedroom waiting for my baby

CHORUS:
She's so mean but I don't care
I love her eyes and her wild wild hair
Dance to the beat that we love best
Heading for the nineties...

new lyrics:

'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
When the bus is already there

Is that the Bangles? I am not sure about the title...something about Monday.....Manic Monday?

 

[cheesy80s]

Dang. Ya'll on a roll

Here's my input for all you 80s lovers out there....

(Well, actually, this is an "80s leftover" but came out in 91, I believe)

"That ol' dog has chained you up all night.
Give you everything you need to live inside an empty cage. Sweep aside an empty rage.
I had a dream I was your hero......"

New lyrics


Seek the man whose pointing hand the giant step unfolds
Guide us from the curving path that turns our feet to stone
And if one bell should ring in celebration for a king
so fast the heart should beat
As proud, the head with heavy feet, yeah
Oooh

 

[*Catbabe*]

Thanks Toni

New lyric:
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
Bonedigger Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight

New lyrics:


We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
we feel miles apart, inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say

New Lyrics

She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie.
I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw
Doubt or gratitude.

Right you are redeliscious! song title is Same Ole Lang Syne

Ok, this is a little sneaky, but prolly still pretty easy.

Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see
