My Favorite Songs Featuring A "Body Part" In The Title- #1

Tweet

Funny how musicians can find different areas of the body to use as inspiration for a song title. They use the senses like your eyes, limbs like arms and legs, and other pieces of your anatomy from head to toe. Quite a creative way to come up with a tune! So, this trivia series contains songs with some musical "body art," hope you enjoy them... For our first selection were starting right at the "top" with some real "hairy tunes." Enjoy the Broadway version of this song from the cast of "Hair." And now for some other songs I'd like to "get out of my hair." Time To name that tune and the artists who recorded them- Whodunnit? (Remember words in quotations can provide hints to the music trivia answers) Trivia Clues: 1. This "Family band" was the inspiration behind the TV show "The Partridge Family. " The group consisted of "six siblings" and their mother. This American singing family had great success with their "cover of this tune," the track reaching #2 on the record charts. The song was the "title track" from a controversial "1968 Broadway musical" about the "Hippie era." From 1968 through 1972, the band played an average of 200 performance dates per year, and were among the most popular acts on the American concert circuit. You might recall another #2 hit song the family had success with called "The Rain, The Park & Other Things." It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold record. Fun fact: This pop group even had their own comic book published by Harvey Comics in 1968. -Do you know the name of this musical family and their remake of this broadway song about hippies? 2. This single reached the top spot on the charts in 1975. The group consisted of a "trio" whose harmonies and acoustic playing fit right in with the rise of the "soft rock" sound. This tune was a relationship song , which consisted of these lyrics: "I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times, When a woman sure can be a friend of mine." "Part of the song title" is a "name of a precious metal (ore) or it could also be a color." Another "part of the title" is a word which is the "opposite of brother." This band's name is the same as a country. The trio had another #1 hit with their first single, "A Horse With No Name," in 1972. Fun Fact: One of the members left the band in 1977 after becoming a Born Again Christian. He went on to record religious records while the others continued as a duo. -Do you know the name of this soft-rock band and their "hair tune?" 3. This 1970 tune was an "anthem to the hippie culture." The artist who wrote this song, with his "long hair and a walrus mustache," was clearly part of the counterculture movement. Wearing long hair is a dilemma faced by many hippies in trying to fit into society at that time for it represents a symbol of rebellion. This famous line from the song "let my freak flag fly" is a statement of that rebellion. This "supergroup" was considered a success from the start, with band members coming from Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, and The Hollies. The "four" folk rock artists when performing together, were eventually referred to by the music business and their fans "by the initials of their last name." Fun Fact: One of the band members was taught how to play lead guitar by the great Jimi Hendrix. -Do you know the band with 4 initials for a name and their hippie song? Ok, let's "not have a bad hair day" when solving these song and artist answers. If your stuck and need additional hints just let me know in your response. Or as Randy Newman would say, "You've Got A Friend In Me." Thanks for reading and responding to my music post!!! I will return with another music trivia version next Saturday...
