Hey guys,

I was listening to this song today, and this thread came to mind....

For those of you who don't know how to play, you try to guess the name of the song. (Try not to use Google or other search engines. If you need help, I'll give clues...)

Here are the lyrics:

  Quote

Oh, ooh, thank God for you

You were warmer than warm

Girl, not to try to hide

You didn't try to hide your love

For this other guy, baby

Have fun!

Well, I'm going to embarrass myself here, especially with you music experts in here.

I've never heard of the Impressions and I have never heard of Curtis Mayfield.

Go ahead, let me have it.

Will someone please guess this song? I got to know! :) Where's Mark? That guy knows everything.

Haha, no idea at all. I liked a couple of old Curtis Mayfield tracks, but it's not really my genre.

Haha. Okay. One last clue:

  Reveal hidden contents

The male singer in this song is The Ice Man. But not the contract-killer:

Master P - Mr. Ice Cream Man.

(I know it's not that, but I have that playing right now as I read your post. :lol: )

HAHAHHHAHA lol.gif

I have to run few errands but when I get back, I'll reveal.

I can tell you the song and the artist, but that's only because I Googled the lyrics to find out. I haven't posted because it's against the "Dylan Rules". :)

Hahah. :)

Ok. The song is Ain't Understanding Mellow by Jerry Butler & Brenda Lee Eager.

(Weird) lyrics here: http://www.top40db.n...s/?SongID=72001

The odd thing about this song is you can hear Butler opening his mouth at the beginning of the song. (Yuck!)

Here's my contribution:

My wife had this one:

"Chewing Gum Wrapper" by Jonathon Richman

Here's Mine:

"Does anyone give a damn?

And if they do, they'll soon forget,

Cause it won't take much for me, to show my life ain't over yet..."

Wow, I thought mine would last longer than that, but it's always nice to hear that there are fellow Richman afficianados out there.... :good:

Is it a Gerry Rafferty song? It's "Rafferty-esque."

"If he had a million dollars...." he might tell you. Being a Canadian, that should be a good enough clue for you.... ;)

Good clue! It's the Barenaked Ladies. Now to figure out the song....
