miamisammy29 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 "Monkey Man" - The Stones (It was a joke.)....One of MY favorite tunes, though. But while we're at it, how about.... "'SCUSE ME WHILE I KISS THE SKY!"
Farin Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 But while we're at it, how about.... "'SCUSE ME WHILE I KISS THE SKY!" if you read the thread title differently this is quite ironic, because this line must be the most misunderstood line as well "'scuse me, while I kiss this guy"
BlueAngel Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 "If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?" "Imagine there's no heaven..." "We are the champions No time for losers Cause we are the champions - of the world." "We will we will rock you." "Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away..." "I still haven't found what I'm looking for..."
LeeBB Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 It's amazing how many of these aren't familiar to me, eg "Y'gotta lose your mind in Detroit, Rock City"... that's gotta be Kiss, right? "If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?" no idea ;-( I'm losing my edge. LBB
bluesboy Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 Some Bob Dylan - "There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief... Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. But even the president of the United States Sometimes must have To stand naked. Mama, take this badge off of me I can't use it anymore. How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone? I see my light come shining From the west unto the east. Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.
BlueAngel Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?" no idea ;-( That would be the opening line to Lynryd Skynyrd's "Free Bird". I thought most would recognize it especially classic rock fans...
Lucky Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 yes ... BlueAngel I was just going to enlighten Mr LeeBB .... that would be practically the biggest (or most well known) rock anthem of the '70's.
_Laurie_ Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 I Shall Be Released is on my "lista"....love that song!
LeeBB Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 Aah, Free Bird, yes. Virtually unheard of in Australia. I have heard it... a kind of sludgy dirgy thing, quite unlike anything else by LS. I can hear that guitar theme in my head now. Thanks for enlightening me ;-) LBB
Lucky Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 a kind of sludgy dirgy thing *Ouch* (I admit it ..... I was one of those shouting "Play Freebird Man !" back when I was 18 ... sludgy & dirgy? really?
_Laurie_ Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 Hey Joe. Where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Lea Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 ^^ Todd Rundgren? So recognizable you knew it by just those two words
Lucky Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 Not even words, but almost anyone knows the song when they hear: A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw. A haw, haw, haw.
_Laurie_ Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 What's your name? (What's your name?) Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy?) (He rich?) Is he rich like me?
LeeBB Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 Hey, I recognise that one, Laurie! But I don't think my wife and my mum stand a chance. Not even if I do the sound effects with my mouth...
Dappled Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth... Have you seen my wife, Mr Jones... (Your wife should know that line, Lee!) Freedom's just another word for nothin left to lose... You're just too good to be true... I saw her today, I saw her face... Get your motor running... Who could hang a name on you?
LeeBB Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 Have you seen my wife, Mr Jones... (Your wife should know that line, Lee!) Of course! I always enjoy songs about New York. See ya, Lee.
LeeBB Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 Some contenders for the most recognisable OzRock lyric: "Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone" "They got married early" "Hey now, Hey now" "Monday morning feels so bad" LBB
LeeBB Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 ... but out in the big wide world, how about?: "Ground Control to Major Tom" L.
Lucky Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw. A haw, haw, haw. Ozzy? Oooh no, sorry. I guess those non-words aren't as obvious as I thought.
Ken Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 "La Grange" From a lil' ol' band from Texas. More recognizable (perhaps) had it been "A-how how how" etc...
c_s_1987 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 Songs that were popular and had a popular cover version released years later would be pretty recognisable: "No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man, to be the sad man..." Or popular songs that have been sampled: "When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful..." (which, of course, isn't the only Supertramp song that has been sampled in a hit single).
