Name That Song!

[Franklin Richards]

1. Alan Parson's project....Damned if I do??..cant member the song...

 

[Truthteller]

redmarvel already got The Alan Parson Project as the band that did tune number 1... The song name has three words, one of which is shared by the title of the song that we know already "Play that Funky Music" and that shared word is indeed the theme of the set...

 

[Truthteller]

1)
Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up
And how do we spend our lives if there's noone to lend us a hand
I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away

* * *, You take it or you leave it
Things that they say, Honor Brite
If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it
* * * in the middle of the night

2)
She gave you a flower
The one that God gave her
you wanna drink the kool-aid
But u do not know de flavor
Get into the zone baby
And do yourself a favor
Head down spin around
Get a little refried
If that don't get it you can
Catch it on the b side
...
Were comin at you anyway
Sweet leaf dreamer you been
Smoking up the ganja
Damned if you do yeah
But don't get any on ya
Kickin off the cashmere
Putting on the kasbah
It's a kiss, a diss
And trade it 4 a coo hah


3)
Yeah, once I was a Boogie singer
Playin' in a Rock & Roll band
I never had no problems, yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly, yes I did
To disco down and check out the show

Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me,
somebody turned around and shouted
...
I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
(how could I)
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Losing every step of the way
I said I must go back there
(I got to go back here)
And check to see if things still the same



1) is by The Alan Parson Project
3) is Play that Funky Music by Wild Cherry

More hints for this one... My sig comes from the same song. The song has been used in TV comercials... here are some more of the lyrics:

***

*bleep*in' Eh

***

Theyre gonna bleep it anyway

***

*bleep*in' Eh

***
Were comin at you anyway

Instead of growin old
All dapper and neat
Im gonna grow my hair
Right down to my feet
Its u and me baby
No pimp daddy jack
Its Cadillac wack no Cadillac wack back

 

[redmarvel]

If you don't put up a new clue soon I'm going to cheat to find the song and move the game on...

 

[Franklin Richards]

I'm a little stumped myself , sistah

 

[redmarvel]

Ok quick poll...

Who thinks I should cheat to get the answer so we can move on...???

 

[Franklin Richards]

I cannot in good conscious tell anyone to cheat. Therefore I abstain from answering this question. Oh and by the way, Eatchay Eatchay Eatchay!!!

OK more clues...

The song has a three (3) word title. One of the words is "PLAY" and the sequence is this: _ _ Play. The title of the song was also the title of the album. The TV commercials that use this song are for trucks. Spider-Fett or m0dr0cker would immediately know this song. The band name starts with "A"...

I suspect that it is Sweeney's option still... but I can go again if he can not... or anyone else that would like to may pick the next se as well.

Since you and Truthteller are tied and Sweeney hasn't found his way back from the abyss yet... I think you should take a turn.

Ok. I'll come up with something. In the meantime, just out of curiosity, why do you note some people as x + x, instead of just the sum?
