Name the song the line is from Part II

Here’s one:

I feel the room swayin'
For the band's playin'
One of my old favorite songs from 'way back when

"Hello, Dolly" by Satchmo, among others.

It'll start with a smile,
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try-
Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find
How you got there....

It'll start with a smile,
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try-
Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find
How you got there....




....so just blow your mind.

Do you Believe in Magic?-- my guy Mr. John Sebastian/ Luvin' Spoonful

It made me believe in magic, ... and take plenty of hallucigens

Level: Difficult:

A child is born to a welfare case
Where the rats run around like they own the place

The room is chilly, the building is old
That's how it goes

The doctor's found on his welfare round
And he comes and he leaves on the double

Deck The Halls was the song they played
In the flat next door where they shout all day

Uh, the magic's in the music, not in the mushroom.

No clue on the new one. We were not wealthy but our Christmas always went a lot better than that.

Noahcat: I had to peek, so I am out. I will say that the singer is one of my faves. For a hint on the singer, the anniversary of a tragic event that the singer wrote a song about was last month. Don't know if that is too abstract a clue or not. . .

There's a trademark quality to the lyrics, but I still didn't know the song, so I peeked, too.

Knowing the artist may not help here. As noahcat herself said, "Level: Difficult."

If you didn't own the album, odds are you never heard the song.

I am guessing the reference is to "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and the artist is Gordon Lightfoot. Never heard the song in question, though.

Since Noahcat isn't here on weekends, we'll probably have to wait unless someone wants to call it and post a new one.

Bard wins it just for guessing right Artist.
The song is called "Circle of Steel" (where you place your bets on a great big wheel)
It's haunting and it's on my MP3 player thanks to TB.


Let's start the week w/ an easy one

Brown paper packages tied up w/ string...

"My Favorite Things" and I think I used that one once before.

"If such poor love as mine
Can help you find true piece of mind,
Then take it - it is thine."

I'll allow this one to expire at 4:30 p.m. eastern today because either you'll know it right away or you won't at all. VERY famous in its genre.

That is the song, "Poor Wand'ring One" from "The Pirates of Penzance" by Gilbert and Sullivan. It is appropriate to this thread because Linda Ronstadt sang it in the movie of the same name.

Take heart, tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la- la, I'll post an easy one:

"You wander down the lane and far away,
Leaving me a song that will not die..."
