Name the song the line is from Part II

Cracklin' Rosie? (If that's it, that's an "oldie," lol)

I didn't write that correctly, did I? Maybe no one listens to new stuff so here's another oldie--though not as old as most of them have been lately! Yes, in tribute to Mr. Diamond's induction into the Rock-n-Roll HOF, Cracklin' Rosie. Hit it Sue. . .

"I'll never know what made it so exciting,
Why all at once, my heart took flight"

Do I have to have the artist? I know a TON of people have sung this. "I Could Have Danced All Night." For some reason I can see Julie Andrews in my mind dancing around and singing it. But I may just have her in mind because her husband, Blake Edwards died and they have been talking about it all day on the radio.

"You can dance if you want to and leave them far behind.
You can dance, and if you don't dance, then you're no friend of mine."

Julie Andrews was the original "My Fair Lady" on Broadway, so yes, she sang it first. Didn't know about her husband. Too bad.

Come on guys--this song is not new--I think late 80s.

Well, that sure looks like “The Safety Dance” to me. I forgot who did it; something about hats comes to mind.

Here’s one from 1976:

Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
Never think of never
Let this spell last forever


Edit: Oops I dropped the wrong one.

That's Magic Man, by Heart. Loved those gals.


Sorry, but my mind seems to be filled lately with Christmas songs, and mostly old ones at that. This one's from 1963:

Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by

That’s one of my favorite Roy Orbison songs. “Pretty Paper”.

Another one from the mid-1960s

And now my life has changed
in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.

That be Help! by those Beatles guys.


OK, mid-80s here:

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck
It's tough...so tough
