Name the song the line is from Part II

Sorry guys - I am drawing dead today.
I know that Phils is Led Zeppelin but I have a total blank on the name of the song.

And Cyndees - I never heard of the Staples Singers - guess they never swam across the Atlantic - or if they did they arrived while I was living in the Middle East.

I think I need an easy one like, "Hello darkness my old friend" Singers initials are PS and it is about Silence and what it sounds like. Oooh - give me a while - I just might be able to get this one! (It's also my favourite song of all time but that is pure coincidence )

I know what you mean, Tony. I don’t even know many Led Zeppelin song lyrics, pretty much just their musical sound. So I’m useless on this one. It does not even ring a bell. Maybe somebody else out there will get it. I’m just gonna say good night for now.

Me too - Goodnight Cyndee - and anyone else out there still online!

I have no idea how this post happened. Sorry for the extra one.

My LZ song was Communication Breakdown. The song is loud screaming so I wondered if anyone would know the lyrics.

I Don't, Phil. It also looks like nobody else does. So, do you have something else?

OK - to keep it alive - until Phil comes out of hibernation I'll throw this one out -

Oh, wow. That’s The Wallflower, by Etta James.

I remember it as an “answer song,” from a time in American R&B music history when it was common to write songs in response to previous songs by other artists. If I recall correctly, that one was in response to a Hank Ballard song.

I was too young to understand what was going on at the time, but it was an interesting period in American music history that I studied later. Thanks for posting that, Tony.


OK, this one, from the mid-70s, doesn’t have any historical overtones of which I’m aware, but I sure did like it. I’m certain that we’ve done it before, but it’s been a while:


OK, you think you got a pretty face
But the rest of you is out of place
You looked all right before



(Phil’s still up. You can break in with your own lyrics if you’d like, Mr. Phil)

Hi All,

I’d like to echo Jim’s suggestion. I hope Phil comes back with a song. He’s always good with a challenge.

Jim’s latest is “Fox On The Run” by Sweet. That’s a good one.

We can go back to 1963 for this:

You remember Leonard Skinner.
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.

That was a funny song!
I think that it was called Hello Mother, Hello Father - don't remember the singer.
