Time for: Name that 70's tune!!!

[Common Sense Party]

We've had a couple of fun 80's tunes threads in the past. Now it's time to dust off the old vinyl and 8-tracks and play Guess the 70's Tune.

Post a line or two of lyrics from a 70's song. Everyone else tries to guess what song it is. Make sure it came out in the 70's.

Be as tricky as you want with the line or phrase you choose from the song, but try to post songs that people have actually heard. Make sure you get the lyrics right--Google them before you post 'em.

When you're guessing, it might be fun to put a YouTube link in your post for anyone who may want to hear the song.

Guessers--NO GOOGLING!!! If you can't think of the song, move on to the next. Only your resin-filled cerebral memory may be accessed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPjYRdjIV1w

[abq e streeter]

221. Does sound completely different,and was the hit;I happen to like the original, but

Bruce and Manfred are/were a mutual admiration society. Bruce would often mention Manfred's singer Paul Jones as a major influence, and in the 70's Bruce would perform both a great rockin' version of Sha La La, and a sweet , soulful version of Pretty Flamingo , with one of his patented shaggy dog stories as both an introduction and epilogue, that would have you just about fall out of your seat laughing .
