    Song title/ lyric
    (Two different artists but same words-
    I'll leave it at that for now.
    Sorry @RunTimer no time to Venn :D )

    Seriously, @Mustang_Susie :grey_question::fearful:


    this is an utter stab in the dark (where the stab is with a safety pin, and the dark is the innermost reaches of a blackhole while blindfolded)..but.

    LADY : Kenny Rogers / Commodores ?

    (RT " I brake for Venn")

    Kind of the right idea.
    The artist who used it as a lyric did not use it for their song title.
    Both songs were recorded within 3 years of each other, think late '60s/ early 70's.

    More hints?
    Infamous 1969 serial killer referenced this song (by song title group) as part of the "philosophy" he taught his followers- "The Family".

    Well, hey there RoadDog!

    You are correct.
    The Beatles Helter Skelter and
    Don MClean American Pie
    "Helter skelter in the summer swelter"

    Give us our next problem @TheRoadDog :)

    Not sure if RoadDog will rejoin us as he is not a regular on this thread.
    So I will open the floor to anyone who has a problem for us :)

    Here's one to test your UK knowledge.

    The sound of F1. / You'll need your raincoat in this Lancashire Town.

    "Song" / Artist

    I have the artist, but I'm not sure what you mean with quotation marks around 'song', so I will throw out:

    Storms - Fleetwood Mac
  • kcdambuster

    Correct band.
    Theme tune on BBC
    "Instrumental" in this case. I think.
  • kcdambuster
    kcdambuster Posts: 217 Member
    "The BBC's Formula One coverage used the ending bass line as a theme tune from 1978 until the BBC's loss of TV rights to ITV Sport in 1997, thus making the song highly recognisable in the United Kingdom." Or so the rumours go!

    kcdambuster, are you English by any chance? My ex-wife is English, and I lived in England for 10 years. She insisted that instrumentals were not songs, but music. I disagreed. :)

    I did a quick search on Yahoo and heard what you're referring too. Of course we don't get BBC Formula One coverage in Iowa, but it sounds like...

    Fleetwood Mac -- The Chain

    Fleetwood Mac's best known bass line is probably from 'Dreams'. I'm not enough of an F1 fan to know if that's correct.

    According to my "research" you are correct.
    Us Midwesterners gotta stick together :D

    BillyC, I can see where she is coming from, in that you can only sing a song and not an instrumental. Must be an English thing. :o
