Name the song the line is from Part II

That fits alright. It's Empty Garden, by Elton.


From 1980:

Emotions come, I don't know why
Cover up love's alibi

That’s a good one, Jim. “Call Me” by Blondie is a nice choice.

I went back to 1967 for this:

I was thinkin' 'bout a shortcut I could take
But it seems like I made a mistake

I think it's Expressway To Your Heart, but I can't remember who did it.


From 1985:

Dedication, devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

I'm going to be logging off for the evening in a little while, but I wanted to leave a few more lines and a hint:


He got the action, he got the motion
Oh yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turning all the night time into the day


The song is about a musician who plays oldies in the subway for whatever money people will throw his way (down in the tunnels trying to make it pay, according to lyrics elsewhere in the song).

The song reached #7 in the US, and #2 in the UK. It's a British band.


Good night, all.

I think that's "Walk of Life," by Dire Straits???

If I'm right, here's a country song that may fall flat on its face, but I love it anyway, lol:

"Work your fingers to the bone,
What do you get?"

Hint: the singer's mother wrote a very famous song for a very famous singer back in the '50's.

That’s funny, Sue. It reminds me of a boyfriend I once had. He would make fun of me when I was working a lot by singing those very words followed by “Boney Fingers”. Is that the name of the song?

In case I was right, we can work on this:

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare

Yes, Cyndee, it's "Bony Fingers." It was sung by Hoyt Axton. His mother, Mae Axton, co-wrote "Heartbreak Hotel."

Yours is "You're Just Too Good to Be True." Or is it "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You?" (I can't remember which line is the title, lol.) Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons.

I have nothing new to post right now ... just woke up and can't think yet, LOL.

Sue, I think your second choice is the correct title for the Frankie Valli tune. Good one, Cyndee.


For those of us still waking up, including me, here's an easy one (I hope). It's a 50s song that was originally released as the B-side to another single. Today, both songs are regarded as classics.

I'll bet you can name this song in six words:

Goin' faster than a roller coaster

"Every Day," by Buddy Holly?

OK, here's an easy one, also in 6 words --

"I'm gonna see my baby tonight"

Hi All,

I think that one is called “Oh Boy” by Buddy Holly.

Another six-word line:

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
