Has anyone got the Lyrics Q. yet?
"And she runs into the street and Screams..."

Moving Pictures, "What about me"

from the early 1980s?

I must profess that this came from a work colleague, not me. I've never heard of em.

P

you better keep your colleagues away from H2G2, and get them to post through you, or you might get a bit more competition...

Lyric: "Tongue tied & Twisted, just an earth bound misfit, I"

Band?
Song Name?

pink floyd
learning to fly

*Ding!*

Lyric: "Call me old fashioned, call me what you will"

Greenday - Longview.

I was thinking by Bob seger, but if that's the lyrics, i guess i'll accept them...

Q(1): Name as many parodies of the song 'Macarthur Park"

Q(2): Find a song, and as many remakes of it - The most wins... (you only get one shot (post) and if you post more than one, i'll count your first post...)

Oops, it's not Greenday's is "call me pathetic call me what you will".

oops...
I mixed up the lyrics as well...

"Call me a relic, call me what you will..."

1) I can only think of one: Jurassic Park by Weird Al

2) The officially most-covered song is 'Yesterday' which has charted for: Marianne Faithfull, Matt Monro, Ray Charles, The Beatles and Wet Wet Wet, but has also been covered by Silver Sun, Screaming Blue Messiahs, Depeche Mode, Blue, Bing Crosby, Dinosaurs, Stevie Ray Vaughan (in Blues style, of course), Acetone and Harry Nilsson. Happy?

B

I can name three Parodies of MacArthur Park, so - Menager(ie) Ark, MacArthur Park Meltdown, Jurasic Park and Brak's parody with the same title.

I guess you've got the second one...

Still 2 questions left...

I guess Master B got the second, KerrAvon got the 1st, and the lyric one is still open...

BTW, Arthur Clark by the barron knights is another one...

The lyrics are Street Fighting Man by the Stones

B

Old Time Rock and Roll (from my boss).

No they're not, I'm talking b*llocks

It's Bob Seger's Old Time Rock n' Roll
