Lyrical?

sowhat · Post by **sowhat** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 2:02 am

Very easy: try to identify the artist & the song by the short bit of lyric given:
1) Oh yeah, a-ha-ha, oh yeah, a-ha-ha, oh yeah, a-ha-ha, oh yeah, a-ha-ha, oh yeah, a-ha-ha...
2) It started long ago in the Garden of Eden...
3) ...of people with each other, to prove they love each other a long ago.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
4) With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
5) Never thought I'd find a girl like you
Now I have, I know I'll never be blue
6) Talking is cheap, people follow like sheep, Even though there is nowhere to go.
Cheers,
SC.

4 out of 6, Paul - #1 is wrong indeed since i've of course chosen the quotes from 50s-60s songs. #3 might not be the biggest hit of that 60s act, still the act is indeed famous and the song was "a matter of action" not so long ago - a 90s band was suspected plagiarizing it, or "using" the tune for their song that hit the charts in late 2000 or early 2001...

Paul's clearly having a laugh again

Answers are
Farmer John - Searchers
Game of Love - Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders
Picture Book - Kinks
Paint It Black - Rolling Stones
It's Gonna Be Alright - Gerry & The Pacemakers
Silence Is Golden - Tremeloes, 4 Seasons not sure The Vogues did it

Picture Book by the way Sheena, assuming I am correct was not a single in either UK or US it was a track on The Village Green etc album

"Of course", Sheena?

Sorry, but that should have been clearer, as the time frame of this stuff has drifted from time to time.

I think my answer is also correct.

Snif.

Hmmm, Paul, i'm just tryin' to obey the rules & not go too far, and i sort of presume that the songs i chose for my "puzzles" are either from the 50s or from the 60s... i believe your answer is correct (never heard this song), well, okay, good boy, you count 5/6

4,5/6 to be precise, since, as Roy has mentioned, "Game of love" was recorded by Wayne&Mindbenders and only later Wayne recorded his own version.
Great job, Roy! I do know the track is from "The Village green preservation society", i just wasn't sure if it ever was a single or not. Speakin' of the story i've mentioned, i'll try to post the two riffs (it'll take some time) - i wonder if it was a coincidence or a sort of a "rip-off"...

uh huh yeah uh huh yeah uh huh yeah uh huh yeah uh huh yeah uh huh yeah uh huh yeah

Puff Diddy song lyrics fade out with these lines.Not that I have heard the track or want to for that matter

But if Paul got all those off top of his head we got 4 each Sheena to totally honest.

P. Diddy's "Come With Me" (recorded and performed with 60s legend Jimmy Page and based upon a Led Zeppelin song) begins with a snare/bass beat. The first lyrics are virtually exactly what Sheena described...

It's the only P. Diddy song I can stand, and is one nice piece of corssover rap.

we got 4 each
Hmmm... what do you mean, Roy? You've googled for something?

Kiddin' of course...

Okay, here's the two tracks:
a sample (bad quality unfortunately) from "Picture book":

a "suspected rip-off" (perhaps out of place at this section, but it's a short one):

Sounds a bit similar, huh?

Paul, I noticed you kind of fumbled the keyboard keys on your answer above, did you mean crossover **** by any chance?

Uh huh. Yeah. Uh huh. Yeah.

Oh yeah... ha-ha-ha...
...and Google gives lots of search results for "Pass band"...
