Name that tune.......

[Captain Shamrock]

I think we tried this before in the 'auld' forum but I am not sure. The objective is to try and guess the song from the lyrics provided(at least one good verse). It may be difficult but let's try anyway. If no one gets it after a little while, then clues can be added....... Here is the first one.....


A cloud appears above your head;
A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora borealis comes in view;
Aurora comes in view.

 

[kurgan]

Too easy

"I ran" by Flock of Seagulls.

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Well done, Kurgan. We had to start easy to give everyone confidence. However, I am guessing that a lot of TTPers would not have got it.

I forgot to mention that the songs can't be too obscure, in order for TTPers to have a legitimate shot at guessing it right....

Song #2

You're beggin' me to go, you're makin' me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way, or am I the best thing you've had?
Believe me, believe me, I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love, and I'm chained to your side

 

[zenga]

Britney Spears Im a slave 4 you???

I know its wrong but im watching her concert now so i might give it a shot.

 

[Captain Shamrock]

I think I love her now, too. Unfortunately, it is not her song. It was from the mid-80s which might be a bit before your time. I am sure Kurgan will come through again........

 

[kurgan]

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand, no promises, no demands...

Now that is an old song.

 

[Regs]

Even I know that one I think...

Pat Benetar - Love is a Battlefield?

~TB.

 

[kurgan]

Yes,

And the next two lines from Captain's Song 2.

 

[CDK]

Guess this one, I dare you.

I left alone my mind was blank

I needed time to get the memories from my mind



What did I see can I believe that what I saw

that night was real and not just fantasy



Just what I saw in my old dreams were they

reflections of my warped mind staring back at me



Cos in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my mind

and brings me to despair



The night was black was no use holding back

Cos I just had to see was someone watching me

In the mist dark figures move and twist

was all this for real or some kind of hell

 

[kurgan]

Grade 6?

Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast, I believe.

 

[max blink]

wow

kurgan

i don't know whether to be impressed or shocked. I'm sure you must feel equally torn about such an obvious talent -- celebrate or hide far far away?

"...I have a picture pinned to my wall,
an image of you and of me and we're laughing
with love at it all,
But look at our life now, we're tattered and torn,
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears
that we cry until dawn.."

en guarde.

"...I have a picture pinned to my wall,

with love at it all,
But look at our life now, we're tattered and torn,
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears
that we cry until dawn.."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that from one of Daz's infamous inspirational emails? I believe that one was sent to Fastshow...

Max

Thompson Twins - Hold Me Now.

It's really embarassing that I know that one...

 

[Captain Shamrock]

The Man

Kurgan truly is the man. I did get the last one but missed the Iron Maiden one unfortunately.


Captain

 

[kurgan]

Here's another favorite

Rather easy really...

"When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun?"

 

[zenga]

Let me guess its Jlo no?

 

[Sliver]

Here's a hint.. this is Zenga's & Bronco's favorite song.

"I'm just a regular Joe, with a regular job
I'm your average white suburbanite slob
I like football and porno and books about war"

 

[zenga]

Ok buddy who the fcuk are you???????

 

[max blink]

no clue

kurgan:

not all of us are ex-rockers who grew up in Saskatoon, although those words do ring a bell. I'm sure they were used by half the stoners at your high school for their graduating comments back in 1985 or whenever.
