    Correct.

    I'll let someone else have a chance at yours. Good song though.

    Singer/song

    The man in black/bovine holler.

    Of course everyone knows the singer, but can you get the song without google?

    Johnny Cash / Cattle Call?

    Don't know the song, but that's what it looks like it could be.

    Good job on the group and the song is among those you listed.

    Dickens' famous opening sentence introduces the universal approach of the book, the French Revolution, and the drama depicted within:

    It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

    Give us a new one @renydo2

    Same song - different bands
    It was the first song on his debut album but it wasn't a success
    They covered it and it hit #1

    Bruce Springsteen - Blinded By The Light
    Manfred Mann - Blinded By The Light

    Just a wild guess.

    That’s correct @deckerp !!
    Heard that song the other day and was looking for clues and found out that “The Boss” originally wrote it! I had no idea!

    Nice job!!

    You are correct sir. Go ahead @renydo2

    Did you know the "bonus" one I added?

    Ricky Vaughn - aka "Wild Thing" in the film Major League

    tbh - had no idea who "The Troggs" were


    Mary Jane - feline / finish the phrase " If you ___ __"

    artist / song

    Struggling with this one, but figure the song title is Love Me maybe?

    renydo2 Posts: 2,153 Member
    Getting the artist will help you to finish the phrase and actual title of the song
  • renydo2
    renydo2 Posts: 2,153 Member
    so.... Mary Jane is slang for marijuana
    what's another slang term for marijuana
  • corinasue1143
    corinasue1143 Posts: 7,464 Member
    I think the artist is something like doga cat or lago cat or? Some specific kind of pot.
  • renydo2
    renydo2 Posts: 2,153 Member
    Doja Cat is the artist - way outside the norm for me - not a big fan tbh - the song is “Say So” - again, not a fan. -

    OK - next!!

    I'm back. We had severe storms go through the area. We had about 200,000+ people without power until this morning. We have power back and internet back (obviously).

    Maybe that's something we all need a taste of now and then to remind us how lucky we are the other 99.9% of the time.
