Name the song the line is from Part II

I hear a hair band-- that's Bon Jovi-livin' on a prayer


love this one too....

Will I dig the same things that turned me on as a kid?

Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn't done what I did?

That, right there, is the story of clcjim's life. Somehow, things worked out in the end.

That's When I Grow Up To Be A Man, by the Beach Boys.



I think this one is from about the same time:

I'd change her sad rags into glad rags if I could

I hear a Jersey boy..

It's that Frankie Valle & the 4 Seasons?

I'd rather be a swallow than a snail..

That must be “El Condor Pasa” by Si and Gar, with a little "Rag Doll" on the side.

Let’s try one from the mid-1980s

They say hey little boy
you can't go where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do

I know that one, Cyn.

I can't answer because dummy me let my lyrics reserve run dry, and I've gotta go right now, so I don't have the time to look up new ones.

Hopefully, somebody's gonna know it. Back later tonight, I think.

Yikes! Forgot I promised to get back to this thread tonight. Sorry.

That one's The Way It Is, by Bruce Hornsby and The Range.


This is another Christmas tune from the 60s:

Well, way up north where the air gets cold
There's a tale about Christmas that you've all been told
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out in his sled

That’s “The Little Saint Nick” by the Beach Boys.

I heard this today:

The choir of children sing their song.
They've practiced all year long.

Hi All,

Here’s a little Wikipedia about this song:
It is a Christmas song from 1979. The artist performed with his Wings for the video, but what we hear every year on the radio was recorded as a solo. It did not chart in the U.S., but it reached #6 in the UK Singles Chart.

Recap:

The choir of children sing their song.
They've practiced all year long.

A few more lines:

The party's on, the spirit's up
We're here tonight
and that's enough.

Never heard of it, Cyndee. But I assume it was Paul McCartney from your clue.

Paul McCartney it is, I think.

Simply Having A Wonderful Christmastime?


I feel fairly confident about that one, so I'll go ahead and post some lyrics. If my guess is wrong, I'll take 'em down.


A perennial funnyman did this one way back in the 60s:

So baby, if you ever do me wrong
Break my heart and leave me alone
When Christmas comes, you'll be cryin' too
'Cause...
