Author	Topic: Name that tune
Werner Molders Pilot	posted 01-09- 12:20 AM Ok guys, I like a lot of songs, but I don't know their names or artists, so do you recognize these lyrics? If so please reply with the title and/or artist. These are both from the 60s/70s, I think. "...whats that sound, everybody look what's going down..." "...took my chevy to the levy but the levy was dry and the good old boys were drinking whisky and rye singing this'll be the day that I die..." Thanks in advance, Werner ------------------ Do you support SDOE online? Email Werner to be listed in SDOE's online phonebook today! IP: Logged
nealg Pilot	posted 01-09- 02:05 AM Werner; the second one is from American Pie, by Don McLean. Sorry, I cannot for the life of me remember the title to the first, though I can recall nearly all the lyrics. Nor can I recall the group. Ah, well, they say the first thing to go is the memory, hehehe!! Anyone else? ------------------ nealg=FC= IP: Logged
Spyder Pilot	posted 01-09- 07:15 AM Great song, gees and I can't believe you didn't know American pie! Must be showing my age There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me, I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down What a field-day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say, hooray for our side It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid You step out of line, the man come and take you away We better stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, now, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield Next! ------------------ IP: Logged
Werner Molders Pilot	posted 01-09- 03:16 PM Thanks! I just don't have a knack for remembering titles and artists. I just know the music. Anyhow, Spyder, if I think of some more I'll let you know!

Werner Molders Pilot	posted 01-10- 12:50 AM OK Spyder, I've got a real zinger for you. In the movie Platoon, there is an orchestral piece that is played during some of the more poignant parts of the movie - what is it called and who is it by. Also, if you don't have immediate access to the movie but do (for some reason) to Puff Daddy's 'No Way Out', it is the background for the first half of the first track. If you get this one, you ARE the man. (Not like that was every in question, or anything ) Werner ------------------ Do you support SDOE online?

Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 01-10- 03:39 PM Mad Dog here.... Werner, it's called "Adagio for Strings", and in Platoon it is done by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, written by Sameul Barber. I had always thought of this song as a Nam song, but I recently heard it as part of the soundtrack to Homeworld and it is amazingly suited to epic space stuff. ------------------ -Seperated and independant halves of a genius super-organism who believe that no game will ever satisfy them completely.

Spyder Pilot	posted 01-11- 01:48 AM awww shit, Spanky gets to the post before me! Hey with the net how can you not find what you want? Next! ------------------ IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 01-11- 03:44 AM Mad Dog here.... hehehe sorry Spy, thought about leaving that one for ya....but then said screw it! And it wasn't Spanky, it's Mad Dog as you can see from the heading of the post. We share a comp and a name, we just preface our post so people will know who is talking. I didn't get it off the net, I have the soundtrack sitting in front of me. Good job on the Buffalo Springfield tune, I knew the lyrics, but not the group...hats off! ------------------ -Seperated and independant halves of a genius super-organism who believe that no game will ever satisfy them completely.

Werner Molders Pilot	posted 01-12- 11:31 PM Ok, here's an easy one. (I told you, I suck at this)- "I want to fly like an eagle, to the sea. Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me...." Title and artist please! WM ------------------ Do you support SDOE online? Email Werner to be listed in SDOE's online phonebook today! IP: Logged

Werner Molders Pilot	posted 01-13- 06:59 PM OK, for the North Americans in the house, which version of "Fly Like an Eagle" is featured on the US Postal Service TV ads? (It's the version I'm thinking of)If it helps at all, I think this is the version that gets played by far the most on the radio. Oh, and Spyder (I missed one of the points in your above posts) I would go net-hunting for this stuff but a) it's hard when you only know a line or two from the song and b) people seem to be enjoying this, so why stop?

Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 01-14- 03:31 AM Mad Dog here... Werner, that is the Steve Miller version on the comercial. Either that or it's a great cover! Havn't seen that comercial in a long time. ------------------ -Seperated and independant halves of a genius super-organism who believe that no game will ever satisfy them completely. IP: Logged
Himdog Pilot	posted 01-15- 10:20 AM Just saw that comercial last week, don't know which version, sounds like the first one if I remember right. But my mind is starting to slip a little. After this gets answered, could we try another one? Himdog out. IP: Logged
Werner Molders Pilot	posted 01-15- 12:46 PM Poor Himdog! I think I'll email you one just to make you feel better To be honest, I can't think of any more at the moment, so if there is anyone else out there who has a memory as shaky as mind, fire away. I do have one question, though, was Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" popular in Vietnam during the war? ------------------ Do you support SDOE online?

Spyder Pilot	posted 01-15- 07:29 PM I've never come across stairway to heaven on vietnam era albums myself. It was out in 71 ? Most songs are usually from the 67-69 period. The vietnam compilations are a bit of a cash cow since 'Tour of duty' was shown on Tv and the movie Platoon etc I suppose the themes have to fit the macho image, like whoever heard 'Tie a yellow ribbon' on a vietnam compilation? That was number one in the early 70's. ------------------ IP: Logged
Himdog Pilot	posted 01-17- 11:26 AM Was Stairway to Heaven that old! I saw Led Zeppelin in Greensboro back in '75, a different life time ago, I still think my ears are ringing from that one! Well Werner, If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. So here is one back at you "White collar conservative flashing down the street pointing their plastic finger at me", Who wrote it, who sang it and what lp? Hint, it is from the 60's. Himdog out.

Mudshark Pilot	posted 01-17- 08:43 PM Led Zepplin IV/Zoso/Hermit/Four Feathers/Runes or whatever you want to call it, was released in Nov. of '71. I don't know why the hollywood stereotype machine ignored Led Zepplin in it's portrayal of Vietnam,but I'm sure Dazed and Confused,How many more times,Whole lotta love AND Stairway and pretty much everthing else got a fair amount play via the 8-track! mudshark IP: Logged
