I always seem to have song lyrics going through my mind. Therefore, I thought it might be amusing to post a sample from a lyric and see if you can remember which song it came from and who made it famous. Like this:

"One little word that you may have overheard, doesn't mean to say that my love for you is dying"

Any ideas?

No idea... now thats going to annoy me until someone gets it. Grrrr...

i'm gonna be rubbish at this game

Ok, to make it a bit easier, the first line of the song is:

"One drop of rain on your windowpane, doesn't mean to say there's a thunderstorm coming"

It's from the 1970s I think.

pffft... I'm out

It was 1972 and it was the final hit for this particular group.

Storm in a teacup by the Fortunes

Ring the bell softly, there's crepe on the door.

You see, If you remember my earlier posts in the 'tunes' thread I was always the (only) one with the classical or early music stuff.
This is modern for me - Edwardian or Victorian.

Well done,Patti! Ok, how about:

"I know nothing stays the same, but if you're willing to play the game..." Solo female singer, 1980s hit.

I want to say Carly Simon...but I don't know the song unless I cheat and google it.

Coming Around Again - maybe???

(I didn't google it btw...lol)

it sounds familiar but still a little early for me

Well done, Maureen. What nursery rhyme is associated with it?

You got me there, for that I would have to cheat and google it ;-).

Ok, it's Incy Wincy Spider, it's the chorus that the children sing within the song.

Alright,last one for today from me:

"I thought love was only true in fairytales"

I think I've just covered myself in a certain cloak of invisibility! I just don't want Patti down here ruining my curtains.

Yep. Or possibly Neil Diamond. Right, that's me for today, but if anyone else wants to carry on with it...

Whoops. Sorry, Ignite.

Sorry, missed that in all the excitement. No idea, is it a music hall standard?

No one does. That's actually the title and still no one's heard of it.

Welcome to Mrs Ignite's home for the terminally bemused!

Mrs Ignite's home for the terminally bemused

Now that's a thread we need...

Well,if we're going back into the mists of time:

"He'll fix them all, with what he calls a thingumajig"

1940s

Any umb(er)ellas to mend today?

Yay, there you go! Popularised by whom?

It wasn't the blokie who sang the theme song from Dad's Army was it? Chesney Allen? Rubbish singer!

And his mate, Bud Flanagan. I don't think he ever thought of himself as a singer, but his voice worked well with Flanagan's

How about:

"You could hear the hoofbeats pound, as they raced across the ground"?

And what was the name of the horse?

Two little boys?

No, I am going to be rubbish at this too.....

How about :
"The pig got up and slowly walked away"

or - With a pair of looking glasses you could see just where your a*se is
if it wasn't for the trousers in between.

I can see your thinking. Bold, but wrong!

Wasn't that the title? "You can tell the man who boozes, by the company he chooses..."

Ernie, the Fastest Milkman in the West. Or something like that

And the horse was Trigger

You're slightly ashamed of yourself for knowing that, aren't you? ;-)

Always a favourite

Ok, while we're on slightly naff songs:

"You'll like him, Mavis, he's a real tasty geezer"

Now I am embarrassed to say I know that one.

Ian wrote: "Now I am embarrassed to say I know that one."

Thought you might be. Care to name the record producer (equally embarassing)?

Jonathan King? I know he had something to do with it

"you're the onion in my burger and the sugar in my tea"

You're the Tops?

"You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair"

Ian wrote: "Jonathan King? I know he had something to do with it"

Yep. The group was The Piglets.

Of course.

"If I should call you up, invest a dime"

The Turtles 'Happy Together'

This one is a bit more obscure:

'Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did'

Ian wrote: "This one is a bit more obscure:

It's not 'Wide Eyed and Legless' is it?

Not even close.

is the singer australian?

No, American. Covered by Rod Stewart in the early 90s.

I fear I may have gone too obscure for some.
