@mudgetastic

What’s the matter with the clothes I’m wearing?
Can’t you tell that your tie’s too wide?

Maybe 80s but could be 70s

And that’s my limit for this artist without googling finding old tapes.

You were all listening to the cool tunes and I was way mainstream!

mudgetastic · 26/04/2022 20:23

Still rock and roll to me ?

mudgetastic · 26/04/2022 20:23

Artist anyone ?

Interested in this thread?

Billy Joel

mudgetastic · 26/04/2022 20:25

So now we know the artist can we guess the other songs!

Gingerwarthog · 26/04/2022 20:28

Piano man?

Gingerwarthog · 26/04/2022 20:28

Piano man?

NomNomNominativeDeterminism · 26/04/2022 20:34

Yes Billy Joel and Still rock and roll.

Not Piano Man,

First was the one played on the advert for the album, mid 80s

Second was a massive hit - I thought!

mudgetastic · 26/04/2022 20:49

Uptown girl

She's always a woman to me

Gingerwarthog · 26/04/2022 20:50

A matter of trust

NomNomNominativeDeterminism · 26/04/2022 20:59

@Gingerwarthog A matter of trust! Yes . One of those songs that sounds different when you’re young and when you’re old.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 26/04/2022 00:07

Correct @CarnageReincarnated! I thought this would have been difficult. I think it's a lovely song.

I think it’s a lovely song too @AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes 🙂

NomNomNominativeDeterminism · 26/04/2022 21:11

@mudgetastic neither of those, but not a million miles from Uptown girl, and I think that’s what I was thinking of when I tagged this one as ‘massive hit’ in my own mind.

mudgetastic · 26/04/2022 21:30

I was pretty sure it was not uptown girl myself... else I have been singing it wrong for years ( which does often happen )

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 26/04/2022 21:58

What Billy Joel songs did I miss, love Billy Joel!

Think al of mine have been guessed, just that the Womack and Womack one is called Teardrop.
Welldone everyone!

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 26/04/2022 21:58

Oops a few spelling mistakes there sorry!

At night when you turn off all the lights
There's no place that you can hide
No no,

Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove

Well I hadn't seen your face around town awhile
So I greeted you, with a knowing smile
When I saw that girl upon your arm
I knew she won your heart with a fatal charm.

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait for you

Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We're going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!

And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me

stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
