OLD 55 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 You got me (so far) on this one Laurie! Pink Floyd's ONLY #1 was "Another Brick In The Wall" (PART TWO), Ray Stevens' two #1s were "Everything Is Beautiful" and "The Streak" - I don't think it has Part 1 or Part 2?, and the Stones only 1969 Chart Hit was "Honky Tonk Women" #1.
_Laurie_ Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 not honky tonk woman....i would be surprised if the song im talking about didnt chart...it's a good one....the song im thinking of is from the let it bleed album...does that help any?
OLD 55 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was the B side of "Honky Tonk Women" and it DID chart when it was re-released in 1973. I'll have a listen to it. (Must be something in common in the lyrics, or a particular instrument used...)
_Laurie_ Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 oh thanks for the info!....yep listening is the key
_jr_ Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 listening is the key Music 101. The depth of this statement lies in it's simplicity.
OLD 55 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 No, I can't pick it up on that one. I was thinking "Children Singing" - Eveything Is Beautiful and Another Brick In The Wall.
_Laurie_ Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 ok we have so far another brick in the wall you cant always get what you want everything is beautiful listening is the key you're getting warmer darryl
_jr_ Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 BTW, I just sw 55 and Laurie are replying here at the same time. Let's see who gets here first ... LOL. Looks like 55 by a nose.
_jr_ Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 "As Tears Go By" mentions watching the children play.
_Laurie_ Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 Old 55's got it! all have children's chorus in them
_jr_ Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 Ok, apparently, I am not allowed to participate. Fiiiine. LOLOL.
_Laurie_ Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 awwww ok giving for tears go by....that's a good connection too
_jr_ Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 Don't patronize me!!! Where the heck is 55 with the next question?
OLD 55 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 Our old Microwave expired last night, so I've just been haggling with Salespeople (when I could finally get the Telephone***) I got it down from $259 to $205, so my Wife, daughter ***, and grandchildren wanted to go for a drive and get it. I'll bet they spend that $54 I saved too. jr, WHAT is Music 101???
_jr_ Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 It's like a beginner's class. A slang term. It's used alot from where I'm from. You know, you don't run a red light. That's Driving 101. Basic knowledge.
OLD 55 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 Neil Sedaka Aretha Franklin Wings SONG TITLES in common. My 3 1/2 year old grandaughter could help!
OLD 55 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 jr and The Jets! Street Talkin' Man (or is that Sweet Talkin' Man)? Thanks jr. MUSICAL INTERLUDE (with deference to Sammy) It is the evening of the day I sit and watch the children play Smiling faces I can see But not for me I sit and watch As tears go by My riches can't buy everything I want to hear the children sing All I hear is the sound Of rain falling on the ground I sit and watch As tears go by It is the evening of the day I sit and watch the children play Doin' things I used to do They think are new I sit and watch As tears go by What a simple, but beautiful song.
bazooka Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 My 3 1/2 year old grandaughter could help! Songs based on nursery rhymes/children's stories. Mary Had A little Lamb - Paul McCartney & Wings The House That Jack Built ? Aretha Franklin Alice In Wonderland ? Neil Sedaka

OLD 55 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 Hi Bazooka. While our daughter and grandchildren are here, my grandaughter sleeps in a foldout divan in my office, which is where the computer is. She just got up from her nap. Maybe they all have stars on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame? Otherwise I have NO idea, and I won't Google, so here's some guesses. They were all: + child actors/actress ? ++ suffered some degree of hearing loss? +++ resided in the UK at the same time?
bazooka Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 [*] John Entwistle [*] Annie Lennox [*] Mickey Dolenz You'll be helpless without a clue. Here's a visual aid.
OLD 55 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 It looks like they must have done Pepsi commercials? Is "helpless" part of a Pepsi slogan? The only one I know is "you got the right one Baby". Have I got the right one baby ?
bazooka Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 Sorry. That wound up more of a red herring than a clue. Think Young.
Kevin Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 Bazooka's starting to underline words, OLD. Either be afraid or put off that he thinks we're stupid ... or both !!
