Name the song the line is from Part II

This artist named Eugene had a huge doo wop hit in 1961 with the Dukays, but this one reached #12 in 1970.

The song is really just a cheerful pickup line.

A few more lines:

Oh, it's a ______ _________
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this

Oh, it's a ______ _________
A splendid combination
You're something that
I just can't miss

Jeez, the lyrics sound like something cheesy I might have said to some poor innocent female back in (gulp!) 1970.

Anyway, so Dukays ----> Gene Chandler ----> Duke Of Earl?

Damn, I wish I could put it together. I'm still thinkin' on it, pal.

OK, I think I have it. I just needed to run tose lyrics through my head a little bit. Especially "splendid combination."

It's Groovy Situation, by Gene Chandler, right?

Back soon with lyrics.

From 1972:

They smile in your face
All the time
They wanna take your place

The Back Stabbers, O'Jays. Good to hear that one again.


At dawning I shall win.....
I shall win!
I shall win!

Everybody has heard this song. It is one of the five most famous songs in history.......in its genre. The original lyrics are in Italian.

Okay, I give up. "Nessun Dorma" by Puccini.

Try this one:

"Summer has come and passed;
The innocent can never last..."

Big swing from your last one Bardolater!

I knew the lyrics, but had to Google to place them.

MMc

"Okay, I give up. "Nessun Dorma" by Puccini."

Shirley you jest..
Not "everyone" has heard that.
I thought Puccini was a dress maker

wait. that's pucci
nevermind

What can I say? I'm eclectic.

Cat, you'd recognize it in ten seconds. It's one of the most famous songs in music history, but the lyrics aren't in English.

All' alba vincero...

Vincero! vin-CHEEEEERRRRROoooooo!

Surely someone knows my other lyric. The song was playing nonstop in casinos a couple years ago. Group initials: GD.
