Name the song the line is from Part II

Really great song! Ride, Captain Ride by Blood Sweat & Tears.

Here's one that's been covered about a million times:

You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken

Will you still love me tomorrow - by . . . everyone!
Amy W did a good job of it - as did Dusty


*********** NEW **************

I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much high I.Q.

…to see what you’re doin’ to me.

Aretha Franklin was telling that guy to “Think”. Top notch choice, Tony.

This one was a hit in 1978:

You better prove that my faith is justified

Edit: Another bad paste

Jim, you were right -- it was the Chipmunks' Christmas Song.

That's You're The One That I Want, by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, from Grease. Good choice!



Let's try this:

And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by

Looks like maybe a few more lines and a few hints would be in order:


She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by


The song is from 1988, and it charted well in the US (#1) and the UK (#6)

The band is American, formed in Southern California in the mid-80s. The band created its name by combining the last names of two of the founding members. One of them left early on, while the other stayed on as lead singer, and became a bit of a rock icon and a celebrity personality.

According to Wiki, the lead guitarist was horsing around during warm-ups one day, trying to make “circus-like” sounds. The other band members were impressed. That series of notes would eventually become the distinctive opening guitar riff for this song.

One of my all-time faves. Sweet Child of Mine by G&R. Here's a link to a 7 year old girl playing the lead guitar riffs:

How about this one:

Been a hard day nothing went too good

Thanks, slowpoke, I enjoyed that. Lookit Zoe go!!


I think your song is Gimme Some Lovin'. Spencer Davis Group, right?



I'm hoping one line will do it for this '79 tune as well:

Wanna bring a wild man back home

Pretty sure we did a song by this artist just a few pages back. Let's try a few more lines:


Lookin' for a lover who needs another
Don't want another night on my own
Wanna share my love with a warm-blooded lover
Wanna bring a wild man back home


This US-born female artist first gained prominence during a certain musical "era" in the late 70s. As that era came to a close, she started doing songs exhibiting more conventional rock influences, like this one. In 1979, it charted #1 US and #11 UK.

Gosh I went looking for a song to post and got lost. “Hot Stuff” by Donna Summer is a favorite of mine, Jim. Thanks for posting it.

I always liked this hit from 1980:

I won't put on cologne
I won't sit by the phone for you
