...and since I'm being a monkey today, how 'bout we play a game? Below are lyric clips from very well-known songs ranging from late 60's to whenever. Please leave the following in your responses:
1. The title of the song
2. the letter beside the lyric clip it goes with
3 The name of the artist or band it goes with
4. if you like the song(s) or not
Ok, here we go...
a) "God forbid ya ever had to wake up and here the news"
b) "Elephants and tambourines are playin' in the band"
c) "Police said we can't drink in a bar whatta shame"
d) "That's a little bit obscene, gotta let of a little steam"
e) "She picked up the phone, dropped it on the floor, 'ah-ah' was all I heard"
f) "I'd change my life to better suit your mood"
g) "I hope them cigarettes gonna make ya cough, I hope ya heard this song and it pissed ya off"
h) "I'm not big on social graces, think I'll slip on down to the oasis"
8 clips, all different genres. Have fun & I can't wait to see how many of them you know!

I know one & you knew I'd know it
d) "That's a little bit obscene, gotta let of a little steam" which is sexy & 17 By The Stray Cats
but
b) "Elephants and tambourines are playin' in the band" is also covered by The Cats, the chap that posted before me covers who that's by.
They all sound familiar, just can't remember :)

Yeah they Lookin Out My Backdoor as a b side too Rebels Rule back in around 1983.
& just to prove it, here's a very young Brian Setzer live for you performing the very song in question.

b. Lookin Out My Back Door- Creedence Clearwater Revival.
h. Friends In Low Places- Garth Brooks.
John Fogerty was just in our city on the 29th, a few of my friends went to see him in concert!

Thanks, Bud Sr.
I like those songs too. Believe it or not, my 16 year old likes CCR (insert wide-eyed smiley here).
Please feel free to stop back by and see if anyone else gets any of them :D

I'm no good at these types of musical guess the songs things!!
unless they were head banging tunes that would make a granny curdle in her grave!
I'm more one for listening to mindless tunes and then wondering and puzzling over what the hell they was saying sort of thing!!
