Guess which song these words belong to, the person that picks the correct song first gets goes next. Simple enuf, even for bedlaminiums.

Okay, 1st song:

"Drove the night toward my home

The place that I was born, on the lakeside

As daylight broke, I saw the earth

The trees had burned down to the ground"

These type of things are a bit too easy to google. You never know if the winner really knew it or not.

'Don't give up'

I remember it being Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel but I think that was a cover.

and no, I didn't Google

Okay, what happens when you google that, I havent tried it.

'Don't give up'

Okay, that was easy. You pick one, make it hard. I still havent had the speed to try the google thing.

Try this one:-

Radio, video

Boogie with a suitcase

Your livin' in a disco

Forget about the rat race

Let's do the milkshake, sellin' like a hotcake

Try some buy some fee-fi-fo-fum

Don't Give Up Peter Gabriel

In this proud land we grew up strong ...Drove the night toward my home. The place that I was born, on the lakeside. As daylight broke, I saw the earth. The trees had burned down to the ground ...

dam_n <deleted> google....who said it was my friend....just tried that combo and it took me straight to the SONG .

I'm gonna place a few telephone calls and see what I can have done about this.

I'm not sure whether Im suppose to be trying that really or googling it. dam_n u oldcroc, it wouldnt of dawned on me to do that . Google says Pop Muzic

Well thats my little idea SHOT....Back in my hole

555, yup Google can really kill these

Much more fun when in the pub with no internet, won't be the first time I've called the kids with some inane question, usually about 60's children's TV.

No, it was a good idea ND..... you just have to specify that the game is for fun and everyone is on their honour NOT to google.

Surely we would all enjoy a game more if we didn't cheat....it's not like there is a prize. There is no kudos on getting an answer first here in this forum.

I would like to play this game.

Okay, perhaps we should proceed....I am guessing some would be really hard to get the answer to, I would NEVER have got Crossy's. (Especially cos those pommies really like strange muzic)

Also I like crossy's idea of playing this at the pub, that should be arranged some time.

So crossy should go again, he guessed mine without google and i wrecked his...

Start here people, no CHEATING, NO GOOGLE! (Offenders will be prosecuted).

This is a terrific idea - fill Bedlam with jokes and word games and still get a post count for playing...

(...and people complain about TLW and Random Posts threads!)

OK, so no Google, apologies if this isn't 100% had to listen 1,000,000 times to get this far

I better start climbing for the best flower on the top of the mountain.

I know what you want, they don't grow in the ground.

Hiking up North you see eye to eye.

We're picking the one and only flower that shows love.

CLUE. It's not Abba.

Can we ask question? (to get hints).....like is it a band or solo artist?

thats a hard one, its an old song

RHCP

christ crossy, now ur keeping an idiot in suspense.

Ive got no idea what fatsy patsy's on about.....is it a solo artist?

Sorry mate, crappy internet in Mumbai.

It's a band.

1988 worldwide hit (top 40 in the US, top 10 in most European charts) likely on the back of Abba.

Very popular on the old EuroSport Satellite Jukebox (which came on-air when EuroSport finished at midnight)

It's still not Abba.

You WILL recognise it when you hear it, the bit I posted is from a rap mid-track.

Sorry Patsy it's not RHCP (Red Hot Chilli Peppers)

I have spent years erasing that diabolical nonsense from my mind and then.... agh....

Answer IIRC Edelweiss. Was popular with a international team I was running and loathed by others including me. The mix cod Abba approach was aggravating.

So here's a couple of lines from a track which I dedicated to an ex as I exited..... and the answer is in the title not the lyrics here.

Beautiful child of God and man

There's a messiah inside of you

Regards

oh, sumtimes I might get drunk

walk like a duck an' smell like a skunk

don't hurt me none don't hurt my pride

cause I got's my liddle lady right by my side

she's a'tryin' t'hide...pretendin' she don't know me...

Im scared to try....if you guess wrong do you loose a post???

reason for edit..if I summon up the courage I will NOT use GOOGLE!!!

Okay people......POSTING OUT OF SYNC JUST ISNT ON. Next one gets a couple of crossys wires up the tosh!

mmmm, 80ies dam_n

See now im trying to work out who the band is without knowing the song.....I feel like this was mid 80ies because you said they were riding on the back of abba, why would you say that?

We need someone old to have a crack at this one, sbk?

The answer is Edelweiss, see my post above, you know the answer to Crossy's post... That's the name of the alleged band, the 'song' was called IIRC Bring my Edelweiss. NEXT....

Couple of confused people here. THIS is the song on the table at the moment.

circa which decade?

Just to put things straight, A_Traveller got it, sorry for the awful internet connection here in Mumbai.

So we're now chasing:-

Beautiful child of God and man

There's a messiah inside of you

circa which decade?

'90's

Regards

I got one - had to google the lyrics because when i sing i sort of go blah blah blah.

I wrote this down - plus the band and title cos it's early morning here and I am waiting for his nibs, the cat, to come home from his roaming so i can close the window.

If I could

Maybe I'd give you my world

How can I

When you won't take it from me
