Name the song the line is from Part II


It flies! It flies! Some early Roy O, I think. Uptown



I would guess that this one was from about the same time, give or take:

My heart is cryin', cryin'

I'll be out all day today so if this is a no-go, here is the solution

The distinctive guitar sound comes from the guitar being tuned DADGAD. also known as D Modal, Celtic or Bensusan tuning.

Looks like it's a no go, Tony. Treetop Flyer, by Stephen Stills.

Given what we’ve recently learned about your “hobby,” I can see why the song might be especially appealing to you.

I listened to the YouTube video, and I like the song, but I can’t recall ever hearing it. Sorry.



Let's try this one from 1962:

And now I'm back, to let you know
I can really shake 'em down


Hi All,

That’s a good one, Jim. It’s “Do you love me?” by The Contours.


There are many versions of this pretty but sad one:

Another losing game comes to an end
And he deals them out again



I believe that's called Solitare. I remember Neil Sedaka singing it, but I think someone may have done a more popular version? Not sure.



This is from 1978:

Either way it's OK, you wake up with yourself

That one is a good one from Billy Joel. It’s “My life”.

BTW, Neil Sedaka wrote and recorded "Solitaire". Later on, The Carpenters had a big hit with it. But, so did Andy Williams.

I think this short clue will do:

Bye-bye, so long, farewell



Edited to correct my punctuation.

That's See You In September, by The Happenings. I really liked that one.



I heard this one on the radio this morning, and it's been stuck in my head all day. It's from 1984:

Don't come back here, yankee!


That last word could be yanqui, depending upon which country the fictional events described in the song took place.
