Name the song the line is from Part II

Oops. Hints not needed.

Cyndee, that's Dancin' In The Moonlight, by...King Harvest (I think). Anyway, it's a fun one!


This was a track on a very popular 1967 album. It wasn't released as a single until 1978, and that was as a B-side, but by then a lot of folks seemed to know it anyway:

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke, and I went into a dream

That one is beyond good, Jim. It’s a real blast when The White Album Ensemble does it live with symphonic accompaniment. Anyway, it’s “A Day In The Life” by the Beatles.

Here’s another one from 1978:
It's my private pleasure
Midnight fantasy

Started out thinking it was Undercover Angel, by Alan O'Day. That song mentioned a "midnight fantasy", too, but the rest of the lyrics didn't fit.

Then I remembered Imaginary Lover, by the Atlanta Rhythm Section, which was even better. Very nice! I liked that one a lot.


This is from 1984. It was associated with a movie of the same title. The song also had an unofficial title that many folks seemed to prefer over the official one.

But to wait for you
Is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face



Sleep tight, everyone!

That would be Phil Collins - Against All Odds - good movie!

My little baby sister can do it with ease

Tonyrob

OK Tony, now I officially feel old.

The version of The Locomotion I remember best was done by Little Eva in the early 60s -- nearly 50 years ago.


Here's a little bit of 1970:

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would
If I only could
I surely would

That’s such a good one, Jim. It’s “El Condor Pasa” by Simon and Garfunkel.

This is from 1961:

I've made a lot of stops
all over the world

"Traveling Man," by Ricky Nelson?

Leaving it open ...

How 'bout:

Joined her in her dancin' spree
Felt my spine a-tingle
Held her tight and close to me
Man I'm glad I'm single



Edit: It's from 1960.

I'm going to add another verse from the song. A songwriter probably wouldn't write these lyrics in today's PC world but, remember, we're talking 1960 here:


Along came a native girl
Did a native dance
It was like in paradise
Put me in a trance

[Chorus]

Joined her in her dancin' spree
Felt my spine a-tingle
Held her tight and close to me
Man I'm glad I'm single


The lyrics refer to a "native dance." The title of the song was the name of the dance, for which the writer used his/her imagination. In English, was gibberish. It was sung in the chorus.

The lead singer sang in a high falsetto voice. His real name was Jerome Anthony Gourdine. He preferred to be called by his middle name and, from what I can gather, he wasn't a very big guy. Maybe you can guess his nickname, which he also used for his stage name.


I'll give this one up in a little while if no one guesses it.
