Name the song the line is from Part II

I know that one. It’s “Woolly Bully” by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.

Next:

Manic moves and drowsy dreams
or living in the middle
between the two extremes
Hall & Oates---"Out of Touch"

Next---

Now the rainman gave me two cures
Then he said "jump right in"
The one was Texas medicine.
The other was just railroad gin.

And like a fool I mixed them
And it strangled up my mind
And now people just get uglier
And I have no sense of time.
Dunno that one but it's interesting. "Woolly Bully" is an example of the "Louie, Louie" syndrome: songs we hear a hundred times without ever getting the words.

Apparently, no one knows this song. It's probably time to move on.

I googled, and found that jokermgb's song is Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again, written and first recorded by Bob Dylan in 1966.

Sorry, jokermgb. We hope you'll continue to play.


Here's some soft rock from 1972:

Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along
You want to get the meaning out of each and every song
Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own
And take them home



"The Guitar Man"


The same old someone that I knew,
What will it take till you believe in me,
I believe It's (I love you) Just The Way You Are.

Looks like a good guess to me, vegas777.

Keep in mind that guessing the old lyrics is only half the job, buddy.

As Cyndee would say, what ya got?

I was alright for a while,
I could smile for a while
"Crying," by Roy Orbison.

I'm trying to think of something new to post, lol. Everything I think of has been used already. So the floor is open ...
Thanks Sue. My favourite time to post (aka my opportunity to post is when the floor is open and I don't actually need to come up with the right answer to a previous post, LOL).

Here's one that was a B-side to a number 10 hit in 1969:

She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
It was too late

Bonus points if you can also get the A-side.
