here's another game..... the format: I (or anyone else that wants to play) give you a line from a song. you guess the song and the artist. I usually try to use the opening line from a song, but the choice is yours. themes are optional, meaning all your songs could be tied together somehow if you so choose.

1. oh, mama I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law....
2. never thought about tomorrow, seemed like a long time to come...
3. in the cool of the evening when everything is gettin' kind of groovy...
4. early in the evening, just about suppertime....
5. you show us everything you've got....

hell, at this point I'm just thrilled you decided to play ;). I didn't think this one was gonna go anywhere....

your guesses were correct. the classics IV would also have been acceptable for #3 but I like ARS' version better. give me guitar over sax any day!

these are the ones that are left:

Rock and Roll all Night...by Kiss

i cheated and looked up "never thought about tomorrow"...but i won't post the answer because i didn't come by it honestly. i'm interested to find out if anyone know that one. i'm pretty familiar with that genre of music but those were tough.

i'll think for a bit and post a couple later.

Did you really know that???
Yes I did, I am from Boston and played in bands at around the time they did. I became friends with Magic Dick, their harmonica player.
 
"And I hear, it's tight most every night,
but now I might be mistaken..."

(okay, so it's 2 lines from the last part of the song)

"It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at JFK"

of course you're right. i think the classics are easier to guess...you KNOW you've heard the line before, it's just a matter of recall.

btw...great idea for a thread!! i'm sort of a music buff too and love music trivia!

"If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand"

bueller...bueller...bueller...?

i was intrigued enough to look this one up and even listen to it...

Leonard Cohen, "I'm Your Man". very interesting indeed!!
 
"Ive got another confession to make,
I'm your fool......

(i've had this song on my mind all night, may as well do something with the lyrics here)

Hmmmmmm...I liked Tommy Fandangos version of that song...perhaps I have it mixed up...or so...but heard it one October eve [my fav month] and just loved that song
 
ok... there's sort of a "theme" to this batch. the bonus triva question will be to explain how #4 fits the theme.

1. on a dark desert highway...
2. spent my days with a woman unkind...
3. all the leaves are brown and the sky is grey....
4. let me take you baby, down to the river bed.....
