Shawna Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Anyone recognize these? Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane.... "Daniel" ~ Elton John There must be some way out of here, said the joker to the thief.... "All Along The Watchtower" ~ Jimi Hendrix And Harry doesn't mind if he makes the scene.... "Sultans of Swing" ~ Dire Straits The sea is calm to-night. The tide is full, the moon lies fair.... - don't know thi sone Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.... I only know the Fleetwood Mac version to this "Oh well" Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby.... Nope And all the roads we have to walk are winding.... "Wonderwall" ~ Oasis All hands on deck, we've run afloat! I heard the captain cry.... no again... Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school....and finally no for this one. Time for some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 more recognisable for me would have been the actual line: "And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene" btw, for this song and for Wonderwall, I don't know why you choose this particular lines, at least for me they're not the most outstanding, 'recognisable' ones from these songs maybe it's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try ... That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball ... We got somethin' we both know it, we don't talk too much about it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dappled Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 ...do you, Mr Jones? For most of these I can't read the lines without hearing the music! Don't know MC's though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dappled Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Time for some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. No wonder you don't. If I had posted it on a forum for poems everyone would have recognised it. It's the beginning of Matthew Arnold's Dover Beach. I threw that one in just for fun. I know it because The Fugs recorded parts of the poem. It's on their Tenderness Junction LP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 For most of these I can't read the lines without hearing the music! Isn't that true? As soon as I read the line the melody begins in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberjudge Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 No wonder you don't. If I had posted it on a forum for poems everyone would have recognised it. It's the beginning of Matthew Arnold's Dover Beach. I threw that one in just for fun. I know it because The Fugs recorded parts of the poem. It's on their Tenderness Junction LP! I wouldn't have recognized it if you had printed the full poem with the name of the poem and the author! I've never heard of Matthew Arnold or Dover Beach. It just goes to show different people from different places have different frames of reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Some of these, I wouldn't even rank amongst the top 100 most recognizable ever. Obviously not, since there's more than 100 suggestions already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
