Name the song the line is from Part II


Quote

I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums

Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera

What a fun song! I loved that thing, Cyndee. It's Money For Nothing, by Dire Straits.


From 1980:

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing




That’s such a cool one, Jim. “Hey nineteen” from Steely Dan.

Next:

When you wish upon a dream
Life ain’t always what it seems, oh yeah
Once you see your light so clear
In the sky so very dear


Great Song. (You Are My) Shining Star, by Earth Wind & Fire.


Philadelphia sound, 1974:

Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me


Good Morning All,

That’s a pretty one, Jim. It’s “You make me feel brand new” by The Stylistics.

Here you go:

B-b-b-baby baby baby
why you wan' treat me this way?
You know I'm still your lover boy
I still feel the same way


Edit: For punctuation


Another fun song! They just don't write 'em any better than that, Cyn.

It's Keep Your Hands To Yourself, by the Georgia Satellites.


OK, we've gone from Chicago (Earth Wind & Fire) to Philadelphia (Stylistics) to Atlanta (Georgia Satellites). Next stop: Motown.

Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong


Oh, yeah. That’s “Signed, Sealed ,Delivered” by Stevie Wonder.

More Motown:

So many days you passed me by
See the tears standing in my eyes


I loves me some more Motown.

That's Please Mr. Postman, by the Marvelettes.


Here's another fun one. It was from 1984:

Oh, you're so condescending
Your goal is never ending
We don't want nothin'
Not a thing from you


Sorry, Jim.
I googled and found the lyrics kind of clever. It was one I ignored at the time. I just couldn’t get past how silly I thought the group was.

OK, I'm throwin' in the towel on that one. It was We're Not Gonna Take It, by Twisted Sister.


This one peaked at #3 on the charts when it was first recorded in 1961. A different popular group covered it in 1967, and took it to #2:

Each night before you go to bed, my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is...


Dedicated to the One I Love. I remember the Mamas & Papas version but not the other one.

How about this one:

See the moon up above. Reach out and get it
If you want him to make your heart sing out
