Name That Tune
« on: December 13, 2007, 10:40:21 pm »
We've got "Name The Game", why not give this a try?

Rules:
1) You post a verse or a line from a song
2) People guess the title & artist (covers are allowed, so if someone covered the song you had in mind or the song itself was a cover and they name the original, it's valid)
3) You post that they're correct & tally the score
4) Winner of the last round posts for the next one.
5) Yes, you could use Google and find the answer.  But the fun is in knowing it yourself, so big deal if you're proving you can type in Google.

Why?  Because lots of us have varied tastes in music, and you might learn about a song that you'll end up liking.  I've always enjoyed playing this with others in a more "live" situation, so it's worth a try here too.  If it works, great, if not it gets buried in the old threads that people never remember anymore.
To start, the lyric that just came up on the laptop:
Code: [Select]
Get a dose of 'er in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the 'ilt
She's the kind of a girl who makes the news of the world -
Yes you could say she was attractively built.

If that's your guess, it's wrong.  If that's your post for the next one, you have to guess the current one first.

I'm placing my bet that it's some Celtic punk band, but I don't listen to enough of that to say who it is.

Hey, can it also be like Name the Game, where if nobody gets it, you can post more lyrics or give a hint to the title or something?

Celtic punk band?  I won't rule out that they did a cover of it, but that wasn't what was playing here :P

As for hints, I don't see why not.  Hasn't been up long enough yet for good hints, and this is far from an obscure band - the song is from their final album, recorded in 1969.
