The Corrs - Dreams

Yikes! ... they may have done a cover of it... I was looking for the original band, but if the Corrs did it also then you get the points.

Original band for #2 was Fleetwood Mac (unless theirs was a cover as well)...

I don't mean to be a punk here (ok, yes I do), but if Dreams is the name of the song, didn't I guess it? Do I not get credit for guesses? If Dreams the incorrect name? Should I just shut up?

Actually I agree... you named the song first; "Dreams" and you should get a point for that. Sorry.

Another * for kbomb.

Either way, you are in the lead... so its your turn again!

I'm in the lead? Holy crap! How'd that happen? Gimme a couple of minutes and I'll have a new round up.

Ok. The first 2 are both from movies I have on DVD (no, that's not the theme), and the 3rd is a somewhat obscure song by a popular band. If 2 of the 3 chart, that's ok, right?

1.
Talk about things and nobody cares
Wearing other things that nobody wears
Ya callin' my name, but I gotta make it clear
Can't say where I'm gonna be in a year.

2.
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night and no repeat
And maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all
Oh, little boy!

3.
When we lift the covers from our feelings
We expose our insecure spots
Trust is just as rare as devotion --
Forgive us our cynical thoughts
If we need too much attention --
Not content with being cool
We must throw ourselves wide open
And start acting like a fool
If we need too much approval
Then the cuts can seem too cruel

Happy guessing!

I'll give a bonus no-prize to anyone who can name the DVDs I mentioned for 1 and 2.

** Right on the song and band name. Sorry, no no-prize. I never saw Armageddon. I'm thinking of a different movie.

 

[Sweeney]

Damn... It is on Armageddon though...


#2 is

I second that emotion - "Smokey" Robinson

I guess the theme must be "Emotion"

Wasn't that song in the Big Chill?

You're absolutely right, but it's in other movies as well.

** And you win the no-prize. The movie I was thinking of was indeed the Big Chill.

Sorry, guys, but you're on your own for a while with the thrid one. I'm off to work. I'll check back when I get home.

'Fraid not. You get * for the band, but you have the song all wrong. It's not one of their songs that charted, but it is one that fits into the theme. If nobody is familiar with the song, I'll just give the name. For the time being, here's the 2nd verse:

It's true that love can change us
But never quite enough
Sometimes we are too tender
Sometimes we're too tough
If we get too much attention
It gets hard to overrule
So often fragile power turns
To scorn and ridicule
Sometimes our big splashes
Are just ripples in the pool
Feelings run high

Such a subtle statement, I almost missed it. * Correct. Emotion Detector is the name of the song.

Who's next?

lol Yeah... that stumped me too... Just trying to get the thread re-going with a reasonable pick... It does kind of remind me of that song.

Looks like kbomb has let us off the hook... THANKS man!

It wasn't me. Sweeney got it, albeit in a very subtle way.

Why am I always the thread nitpicker? Nothing against Sweeney, but TT did get one * for the band name for 3.

I gave TT the point in the score, did you want me to remove the Gif??? After all Sweeney did such a good job getting the other 3 song titles...

No, no. I'm not trying to take away what Sweeney has. I'm just saying that it wasn't a clean sweep because TT got the band name for 3. Sweeney did a great job, but TT deserves 1/7 of the credit.

Well in that case I dedicate the Penguin's Right Wing to TT...

And now, Springfield's favorite conservative and author of the well-selling book, "Only Turkeys Have Left Wings." Ladies and gentlemen, Birch Barlow.

Sorry. Just having a Simpsons moment.

Who's next?
