No winner yet…

The next word is “yeah”

The Beatles--I'll Get You!

 

[Aardvark86]

The Beatles--I'll Get You!

i think you mean i wanna hold your hand.

Assuming i'm right, I'll set another one:

"Well"

Winner.

 

[Aardvark86]

Winner.

my god, i think that's the first time i've ever won anything like this in my life!!!!

BTW, for my money, i absolutely love that song for its evocation of the early R&R feel. Fun, just a little rough around the edges instrumentally, and simple. While i know it's not the real 'beginning' of modern rock, i sorta think of it as such.

 

[seminoleed]

Winner.

Nope, he loses. Mine was first, and they sing it 4 freakin' times!

Point of order, sir.

The Beatles – I'll Get You

The b-side to She Loves You, this song is almost ironic in its levels of twee, Beatlemania-pandering pop sensibility. Indeed, the band later made jokes out of the fact that they

Sir, the object of the game is not to identify "a" song with the lyrical clues, its to identify "the" song contemplated by the proposer. Otherwise, you would have lost much much earlier, and to Oh Canada no less. For example, if you were playing 'name that tune,' selecting the wrong song with the same first two notes gets you nothing.

OK, I concede.

no, but an exceptionally appropriate guess/chorus for GIAOT (as is the correct answer)

Since it’s getting near time for me to prepare some dinner here in the east, and I’ll probably forget about it tomorrow, you’re second word is

Good morning and I hope all are present and accounted for.

The Rodeo Song? Lots of folks have recorded this, so I'm only guessing here: David Allan Coe version?

that's a winner (though I had Gary Lee and Showdown in mind). You're up.

 

[seminoleed]

Hmmmm. Lemme see what I can come up with.

 

[seminoleed]

OK. Since the first word is "I", that's way too difficult to read what's in my mind. So,
I'll give you the first two: "I" and "don't".

Good guess, but...no.

OK, no takers so far, so here's #3:

I Don't Want.

your freedom

[separately, speaking of the 80s and early 90s, yesterday i was in the gym, and they played michael jackson's 'black or white,' and it reminded me of the time the SNL comedienne quipped, "Michael, if it don't matter if you're black or white, then why are you so white?"

Nope. Good answer though.
