Name the song the line is from Part II

I wonder if Bow Wow Wow did a version.

As an aside from the ongoing song competition, Who did this?

Baby, although I chose this lonely life
It seems it's stranglin' me now

It was not Jimmy Wuff . . . Ruff . . . Ruffin,

It was not David Bow . . . Wow . . . Bowie

So who was it?????

And it wasn't Bob Barker

Well, if it wasn't Bob Barker, then it must have been Three Dog Night.

BTW, Tony, I hear that you ain't nothin' but a hound dog.

Johnny told me.


Q: Who the hell is Johnny?

A: Johnny is a joker. A very funny joker. He's a bird dog.

Just as a reminder, these are the lyrics we're working on:

Falling in love was the last thing I had on my mind
Holding you is a warmth that I thought I could never find


Clues were given above, but I have to admit that it ain't lookin' good for this one. I'll give it just a little longer before I give it up. Sometimes, dogged perseverance pays off, heh, heh.

I guess it's time to give it up. It was Isn't It Time, by The Babys.


Won't be around much for the rest of the day/evening, so I'll leave the floor open.

I had heard the song - but didn't know the band.

Try this one - Country crossover -


to light up the darkness and show us the way.
For though we are strangers in your silent world.

It looks slightly familiar. But I can't tell yet.

I'm pretty sure Tony's lyrics are from Calypso, by John Denver. Aye, Calypso!



From 1973:

Now these fine ladies, they had a plan
They was out to meet the boys in the band

Good Morning All,

Ah yes, “Calypso”. That’s a nice one. John Denver was so versatile.

The current one is “We’re an American Band” By Grand Funk Railroad.

Try this:

Where does it stop?
Where do you
dare me to draw the line?
