This one's too easy, folks. If you listened to "Whiter Shade Of Pale" (see Floogledy's original "Name this old tune" thread) you listened to this one too.

2. Since there are so many posters here tonight

It looks like I'm going to have to kick this every half hour to keep it on page 1.

:kick:

3. I'm all over it!

Workin' hard.

5. "Workin' Hard" as in *'s "It's hard work... I'm workin' hard"?

Sheeit, mon -

It's so easy you'll kick yourself if you don't get it in the next minute or so.

And no, it's not the organ riff in "My Little Runaway". :0)~

[Floogeldy]

4. Is this a vocal melody?

[Seabiscuit]

6. Yes. That's one of the reasons it's so easy.

7. I got it

"San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)"
Performed by Scott McKenzie
Written by John Phillips

WOW! I got it when I went high on the E's following the G.

GREAT PICK, SEABISCUIT!!! GREAT SONG.

8. CONGATULATIONS! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

:party: :bounce: :headbang: :hippie: :toast:

1967 - the same year "Whiter Shade of Pale" was playing on the radio and on the jukebox.

I figured if anyone would get it you would, Floog.

After your "Whiter Shade of Pale" thread, that's the first song that popped in my mind because at the time I used to have breakfast every morning at an outdoor cafe in Paris and listened to those songs plus several Mama's and Papa's (John Phillips, et. al. - "Go Where You Wanna Go", "California Dreamin'" etc.) songs playing on the jukebox - the French seemed to love them.

9. Paris? 1967?

What the . . . ?

I'd like to have a beer with you. I think I was in 8th or 9th grade. I'm glad to read that you and the Parisians listened to that music at the time.

Do another one!

10. Kewl.

I was 21-22 at the time. And a student at the Sorbonne.

Man, I miss that cafe - in the Latin Quarter across the Seine from Notre Dame, sipping cafe au lait and eating a baquette, and listing to that MUSIC! What a way to wake up!

Sure I'll have a beer with you. Any preferences?

My all time faves are French Alsatian and Belgian beer (part of my Francophile/Gallomaniac heritage). :)

[Seabiscuit]

11. N.B.: I can't do another one right now... I'm bbq'ing steaks.

Why don't you try one and I'll follow up.

[Floogeldy]

12. Okay. I'll do the next one.

[Seabiscuit]

13. OK - by the time I check in there may already be a winner. :(
