Name That Rock Song
Hi, with all the great artists passing away lately, I thought it might be a nice tribute to have a game where we guess what a lyric passage matches what rock song.
Ok see below and let's rock :)
AJMS Stevie “guitar” Miller. One of my first concerts charting my path to rock and ruin.....
“Cologne she wears. Silver and Americard. She’ll drive a Beetle car. And beat you down at cool Canasta”
Artist is:
Strangerdanger 
Shoes Steve Miller Band - Living in the USA
"I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines"
Artist is ______________________ (?)
JrzyGirl88 AJMS
In your first post you say "guess what a lyric passage matches what rock song", but in your 2nd post you wrote "Artist is __________________(?)". So should we do both or only the artist or just the song, or doesn't it matter as long as we just get one?
In the first one I think it's "someone get me a cheeseburger", btw, but I'm not positive and that's in "Livin' in the U.S.A." by the Steve Miller Band.
BTW, Just "A Cheeseburger" is also referenced in The Tube's song "What Do You Want From Life"
Phil D. I see JrzyGirl88 posted while I was thinking and typing (slowly, lol).
My answer to that one is "Loser" by the Greatful Dead
New one
"I've got a Maserati GT with snakeskin upholstery..."
Song AND artist if you please'''
Dam "Everybody Wants Some", by Van Halen
Still no guesses on
"I've got a Maserati GT with snakeskin upholstery..."?
Song AND artist please'''
Exsqueeze me......mine was up first!!! Need more clues? Hard to believe given google.....or should we be sports and pledge to not google?
Stranger Danger Dave Bowie
Lady Grinning Soul ? Guess is correct?
And yes Phil D , name of song, + artist is an extra rock star award (lol)
Next
"She keeps her hair in a locket"....

You may be on delay, due to a need for moderator approval (I have no idea, maybe I am) but it didn't appear to me at the time, even when I posted my answer and saw that Jerseygirl had posted something in the interim. That's the only problem with these type of games. I'm guessing that once your post was approved then it showed up in its original order, along with "Shoes" post. When I put my second post up, you'rs still wasn't yet up.
Black Crowes- She Talks To Angles. One of my favorite bands. The drummer just put out a tell-all biography of the band... fantastic.
JeffersonRepub Phil D, it's Gary Moore. "Ain't Got You " for your suggestion :)
Next:
"Winter Nights. we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon"
Artist and song title, please: ________________________(?)
JR, I dont know if you've been keeping up with them over the years. I certainly haven't had time to spend worrying about bands like I did in my youth... but Chris Robinson was on the Stern show recently. Apparently, he and his brother have reconciled and they're doing a big tour this year for the 30th anniversary of the release of Shake Your Moneymaker.
ianimal oooooh. thanks for the update on BC's ianimal.
plz regard my song suggestion and respond. lol
Technically, she talks to "angels"; only excessively drunk pool shooters talk to angles (-;
I've got one...
a broken nose and a broken heart; an empty bottle of gin
CBGB Ian,
That tour isn't the Black Crowes. It's just the brothers with a hired band. They destroyed the band years ago. Chris and Rich Robinson both have mental issues, imo... and both are huge egotistical a-holes. I still love their music, but I'm not interested in a "reunion" tour that only reunites the 2 a-holes, and leaves the rest of the band out. Let's see how long it lasts... if the 2 brothers manage to stay together longer than 1 tour cycle, it'll just prove that absolute ownership and control (their desire for it) is what destroyed that (once) amazing band.
These days, I'm on to Blackberry Smoke. Sort of a Lynyrd Skynrd / Black Crowes hybrid. Fantastic band, great songs.

Next (this might be a hard one)-
The streets were lined for the wedding parade
The queen wore the white gloves, the county of song
The black-covered caisson her horses had drawn
Protected her king from the sun rays of dawn
They married for peace and were gone
Did you see them, did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
Andy Loigu Won't you take me back to school
I need to learn the golden rule

I need to hear it one more time
RA Where do you get
Those blue, blue jeans
Faded, patched secret so tight?

That walk oh so lean?
Your shoes and your shirt's all just right
Andy, great hit on the Broken Arrow song!
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again

No walls, only the bridge, my supper dish
My succotash wish

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket.
She wears a cross around her neck.
Yes the hair is from a little boy,
And the cross from someone she has not met, well, not yet
She Talks to Angels- Black Crowes.
When I was small I used to stand
With my hand on my heart
And I would sing to you
You were my son and my lover
My father and my brother
I believed in you
It was so easy then
It was so easy then
But where are you now
It seems like you can't hear me anymore
Maybe you're just getting too old.
But do you remember...201 years ago....... (Con't)......... :-)
Let's play the game right please. give the right answer not just blindly google it.
"You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low"
Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue
My God, get a life! I couldn't remember how to spell the Crue part... Then thought OMG I got the name wrong? And went with what I saw. Go file the police report officer, ya got my confession.
The way she talks about someone else
That she don't even know herself
She's the sickest thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl
Correction: It's not on Flowers, only Aftermath. a lot of crossover on the British and American versions of the stones albums-gets a little hard to remember!
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so *7"(8; special
I wish I was special
Wordlessly watching
He waits by the window
And wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
He worries
Did he hear a good-bye? Or even hello

You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark

"It wasn't very large
There was just enough room to cram the drums

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what, I don't know
Every time I plant a seed
He said kill it before it grow
He said kill them before they grow, and so
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
Eric
Clapton
Actually- Bob Marley
I used to be a rolling stone you know
If a cause was right
I'd leave to find the answer on the road
I used to be a heart beating for someone
But the times have changed
The less I say the more my work gets done
Next
It's a sin that somehow
light is changing to shadow
and casting it's shroud
over all we have known
unaware how the ranks have grown
driven on by a heart of stone
we could find that we're all alone
in the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
as the daytime is stirring
where the speechless unite
in a silent accord
using words you will find are strange
and mesmerized as they light the flame
feel the new wind of change
on the wings of the night
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
Baby, I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
The bugle sounds, the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses' breath
As you plunge on into certain death
Right church, wrong pew... hint, it's the greatest song ever written about the Crimean War.
Its the Trooper
Iron Maiden

You grew up where young girls they grow up fast
You took what you were handed and left behind what was asked
But what they asked baby wasn't right
You didn't have to live that life,
I was gonna be your Romeo you were gonna be my Juliet
These days you don't wait on Romeo's
You wait on that welfare check…
AJMS That would be Point Blank by Bruce(no last name needed!) You and I seem to have a lot of the same tastes in music. I just got back from Highland Park-picked up about 25 lp's from a guy on craigslist including Darkness on the Edge of Town. Used to have about 400 lp's-all were ruined during hurricane Irene. Trying to replace some of them at least.
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it baby
I don't wanna live for ever
And don't forget the joker!
Weedwacker They think our heads are in their hands

“We've taken care of everything
The words you read, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eye
It's one for all, and all for one
We work together, common son
Never need to wonder how or why“
Rush The Temples Of Syrinx
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin all night long
True - Spandau Ballet. Ahhh...the 80s. Back when MTV played videos
Outside there's a big parade
Some girl, she's got it made
Things change in the time it takes to breathe
That would be Sash Jordan, JJB.
Left school with a first class pass,
Started work but as second class.
School taught one and one is two.
But right now, that answer just ain't true.....(oldie but a goodie)...:-)
AJMS , IDK unless I google the lyrics
"If that's your best, your best won't do"
anybody know that one?
We’re Not Gonna Take It- Twisted Sister.
Took me awhile- it was on the tip of my tongue and I could hear Dee singing it....
One line- 2 different artists/songs:
“There are many here among us who feel that life is a joke”
Courtney1 All Along the Watchtower... Bob Dylan/Jimi Hendrix
The lyric is actually "life is BUT a joke", though...
He said, "Call the doctor
I think I'm gonna crash"
"The doctor say he's coming but you gotta pay in cash"
first thought was Nazareth Whiskey Drinking Woman but after singing it a bit
Judas Priest
You might not ever get rich
But let me tell ya it's better than diggin' a ditch
There ain't no tellin' who you might meet
A movie star or maybe even an Indian chief
more from the same song
(Work and work) Well those cars never seem to stop coming
(Work and work) Keep those waxin' machines humming
(Work and work) My fingers to the bone
(Work) Keep up, I can't wait till it's time to go home
Here’s another-
But when the girls got a little greener on the other side
I’d just tear out that page...
sorry IDK, how about this one
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
You were always so far away
I know that pain
So don't you run away like you used to do
Alice In Chains
So I can ask you some questions to see if you're a hundred proof"
I asked her her name, she said: "Blah-blah-blah"
She had 9/10 pants and a very big bra
I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused
I said: "How do you like the show?" She said: "I was very amused"
I started throwin' bass, she started throwin' back mid-range
But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange
Then when I asked, "Do ya have a man?", she tried to pretend
She said: "No, I don't, I only have a friend"
Come on!
I'm not even goin' for it, this is what I'm goin' sing
Just a Friend- Biz Markie
"B-B-B-baby baby baby why you wan' treat me this way
You know I'm still your lover boy I still feel the same way
That's when she told me a story, 'bout free milk and a cow
And said no hug-ee no kiss-ee until I get a weddin' vow"

The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The Sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a-cruisin' down the ville
The Muezzin was a-standin'
On the radiator grille
I was just thirty-four years old and I was still wandering in a haze
I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were lost in a maze
I don't know why I thought I should have some kind of divine right to the blues
It's sympathy not tears people need when they're the front page, sad news
“Slit Skirts” Pete Townsend
The whole street’s belief in Sunday’s roast beef gets dashed against the Co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kid’s new gear is a big decision in...

So much passion burns inside
But if you need some coaxing
I will do it

With your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin' like you just didn't care
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Scarecrow on a wooden cross, blackbird in the barn
Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm
I grew up like my daddy did, my grandpa cleared this land
When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand
Now with new hope, some will be proud
This is no hoax, no one pushed out
Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer
Break new ground of a new frontier
New ideas will surely get by
No deed, or dividend. Some may ask "Why?"
You'll find the solution, the answers in the sky

Dio - Last In Line
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside
I see him standing silhouetted
In the lamp-light
I cross the street
And I quicken my pace
He cups his hands and he
Lights a cigarette
I find myself in the bones of his face
The Pretenders - Night In My Veins
The hands that you shake
Can never create
The wings that you need when you want to fly
Nick Scalera Photo I keep singing this lyric today
Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny
Well the Door is always open,
And the lights on in the Hall,
And you know that I'll be waiting,
When you finally come to call
Mr 4paws I could shake my tiny fist
And swear I wasn't wrong
But what's the sense in arguing
When you're all alone?
Sure as you can't steer a train
You can't change your fate
And when she told me off that day
I knew I'd lost my home
