Name the song the line is from Part II


We just have to face it, this time we're through

That's Knowing Me, Knowing You, by we all know who.


PUH-LEESE don't get us started on Anthony Weiner jokes, 'cat



Let's see if anybody remembers this one from all the waaaay back to 1958:

I thought I'd never get caught again
Never in a hundred, never in a thousand
Never in a million years
Never in a million years



Can't think of any good clues about the singer, but here are a few more lines of lyrics:


I thought I'd never get caught again
Never in a hundred, never in a thousand
Never in a million years
Never in a million years

She had the bluest of blue eyes
She had the cherriest lips
Shouldn't have kissed her
I tried to resist her, but
One kiss, and I was a goner



I'll give it up a little later if it looks like it isn't working.


"Uh, oh, I'm falling in love again," by Jimmie Rodgers.

New one --

"But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck,
She got runned over by a damned old train"

(It's country, lol)

Well, I definitely heard that one in the bar a few times, Sue. I think sometimes folks even sang along.

I liked the funny ending, which I won't try to explain here.

I have no idea who sang it, but I've been trying to remember the title. Was it something like You Never Even Call Me By My Name?


Yes, that's the name, Jim. It's also sometimes called "The Perfect Country & Western Song." David Allan Coe sang it, and the late Steve Goodman wrote it. (He also wrote "The City of New Orleans," and "Go Cubs Go," the song quoted in my signature line below.)

Your turn ...

OK, this is from 1960:

Well, love's precious flame
Has burned in vain
But you're not to blame


Good Morning All,


Thanks, Jim. That’s a great tune from Roy O. It’s “Blue Angel”. I love listening to the strings on that one, like so many of his songs.

Jump to 1979:

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
Good one, Cyn! That's Heart Of Glass, by Blondie.

I used to get into arguments with folks when I'd tell them that Debbie Harry was not Blondie. She was just Debbie Harry. The band was Blondie. I eventually realized it was a losing cause.



This was a #2 hit (US and UK) in 1986:

Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down


That’s a good one, Jim. “Manic Monday” by The Bangles. I like the energy of it.


We all know this one:

And when I touch you, I feel happy inside

"I Wanna Hold Your Hand." Love it.

Here's one from the World War II era (loads of good songs back then) --

"Don't mess with Mr. In-Between."
