Song Quote Thread

OK...nobody's jumping in, so I'll pick it up again.
This one's a blast from an 80's one-hit wonder, later covered by No Doubt (who did a damn fine job. their brass section sounded great in the parts that was originally fiddle and banjo).
Everyone remembers the song, nobody remembers the band

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

[Umfriend]

OK, spill it and come up with another.

I hate quotes I can't guess

[schmosef]

Oh c'mon, that's easy: Dexy's Midnight Runners, Come on Eileen.

Retro is really big here and that song's been played at just about every private party or dance club I've been to.

My turn?

[schmosef]

I guess I don't have to wait, here's the new lyric:

"She's a lady, she's got time,
Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face."

[Kruzin]

THREAD RESURECTION!

obviously nobody is gonna guess that last one from schmo
so here's another....

Look up on the wall
there, on the floor
under the pillow
behind the door
there's a crack in the mirror
somewhere there's a hole in the window pane
Now do you think I'm to blame?
Tell me, do you think I'm to blame?

[schmosef]

(When they do it) you're never there.
(When they show it) you stop and stare.
(Abacab) He's in anywhere.
(Abacab)

How ironic is that you didn't guess my song but chose a new Genesis for the thread with another song from the same band? I think you're having some fun at our expense!

Ok, here's my next song (SD better get it!):

Don't look so surprised
I'm only joking
The alien comic cried
The jackass and hyena
Took the feather from its book
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the joke down his book

[Kruzin]

Easy
But I'll see who else knows it...

[schmosef]

I don't think anyone is going to chime in so take it again Kruzin.

[Kruzin]

Must not be mainstream enough.
I'll let it go, but while I'm thinking about him, I was happy to hear today that RW may be getting back together with PF for a tour next year

Now to shift the game for a moment....
Who can tell me who is appearing in my new avatar?
(hint, it's the same guy as my old avatar, not that anyone noticed that one )

No shit! really? Where did you hear that!? I would do a lot of things to attend that concert, a lot....

They where talking about on the radio all day on the station I listen to.

Wow! Just the thought of a reunion concert gives me chills. I saw Pink Floyd back in 89ish. One of the best show I have ever attended. And definitely one of my favorite bands of all time.


Noone hears the children anymore....

Q also are running a story on their news pages that they understand that the current Floyd and Roger Waters are considering a reunion! It says "Nearly 20 years after the acrimonious departure of frontman Roger Waters, Pink Floyd are rumoured to be putting aside their considerable differences and reuniting for a series of lucrative shows next year." It then gives a potted history of Floyd and the breakup.

"However, Q understands that discussions have taken place between the two parties about playing a set of shows to mark the 30th anniversary of 1975's Wish You Were Here album. "If areunited Pink Floyd went out on tour, they could gross 100 million dollars in one year," says Gary Bongiovanni, editor of US magazine Pollstar". The article then goes on to give examples of other bands, including the Pixies, who have made up or are considering it.

Before everyone gets too excited, it should be mentioned that we recently discussed this whole subject with Pink Floyd Management - indeed, before Q even hits the streets. They categorically stated that the band were not doing ANY shows next year, and also stated that there were no plans to celebrate 30 years of Wish You Were Here (apart from the 2005 Calendar, designed by Storm Thorgerson, mentioned elsewhere on these pages).

However, this news story has excited a lot of fans, who believe that it will happen, and we have received a mountain of emails regarding this story, especially as media across the world are picking up on it. Thanks for all your emails on the subject! If the situation does change, we will obviously pass on the good news. In the meantime, it does seem like one of the regular rumours that go around about the band touring again...

Our thanks to Kevan Porter and the Sofa King for their help with this story.

I'm still hoping for a Genesis reunion tour. I didn't get to see them in '89 (I think it was '89) when they did the "We can't dance" tour and I've regretted it ever since. If I had a time machine one of the periods I'd visit was when Genesis was still playing small bars and clubs in England.

I saw Phil Collins on one of his solo tours in the late 80s or early 90s. Great show. Dude ran all over the stage and played a diff instrument for every song. Helluva percussionist.

But still, nobody's told me who the goofy guy to the left is
