Favorite Songs with a Flower in the Title- #1

Tweet

To me the "Coming Up" of flowers in spring symbolizes so many things one of them being a rebirth of sorts. After spending the winter underground, they pop up again when spring arrives. So, why not a musical trivia challenge featuring my favorite tunes with a flower for a title... Here is your first installment. See if you can figure out the songs and artists from the clues provided. Even if you can't figure out the answers it's always fun to see what songs I picked out. Enjoy Paul's funny music video! Coming up like a flower (Remember words in quotations do provide hints to the music trivia answers) Whodunnit- Name that tune or artist: 1. Although this Top Twenty tune form 1975 has a flowers name in the title it is actually a "name of a girl." Like their song "Sister Golden Hair," the tune was not about a specific girl, but a composite of them. The song was recorded by this "soft-rock trio" whose band name is "another way of saying the United States." Some of the band's other hits included "Horse With No Name, Lonely People, and Ventura Highway." Captain and Tennille covered one of their songs "Muscrat Love," and scored a hit with the track as it reached #4 on the Hot 100. -Do you know the name of this group and their flower-titled song? 2. This artist constructed this psychedelic song from his "favorite color and his favorite flower." The song was released in "1968 and reached #1" on the Billboard Chart, one of only two songs by the band which made the top spot. The other was their 1965 tune "Hanky Panky." This flower tune was later covered by "Joan Jett and The Blackhearts" in 1982, and reached the #7 spot on the Hot 100. The "flower" used in this song title is often associated with "good luck" if it has "4-leaves." -Do you know the name of this flower song and the group who recorded the tune? 3. Bobby Vinton had a #1 hit with a flower named song in 1962. This flower species is one of only three mentioned in "the bible." This flower is also a popular "girl's name." The White House has a famous "garden filled with this flower." -Do you know the name of this flower titled song? Ok, let's not "be a late bloomer" when figuring out these song and artist answers. If you're stuck and need additional hints just let me know in your response. Or as the band Jefferson Starship would say, you can "Count On Me." Thanks for reading and responding to my music post!!! I will return with a new edition soon. Hope you can wait till then, lol. Stay tuned... Source- Wikipedia & songfacts.com Photo-Pinterest
