Guess, or state?

Spoiler :

Alice in Chains-Grind

I don't know why I recognise this one as I'm not a big fan of them but the chorus sticks in my head for some reason.

 

[madviking]

Go ahead xcl

Here's a blast from the past that I'm listening to at the moment...

A cracking portrait
The fondling of the trophies
The null of losing
Can you afford that luxury?

A sore winner
But I'll just keep my mouth shut
It shouldn't bother me, no it shouldn't, no no
It shouldn't bother me, no it shouldn't
But it does​

too obvious?

 

[Sir Bugsy]

I googled the lyric since it wasn't obvious to me... and it still isn't since I had never listened to that band.

Since the University of Florida won the national championship last night, here's a tune that's sort of about Gainesville, Florida:

Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there was a little more to life somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well it was kind of cold that night,
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by,
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment
There he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Beach Boys?

For those that didn't see this exchange in the main forum: Map Discussion

13 cows is nice. we got gold on grass - we'll have 4 turn research at size 4!
Am guessing we are in republic by 2000 BC, Cavalry by 850 BC....

Yeah, well I'll bet our tundra has all the oil...

We got a rock.

Aaah.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Beach Boys?

No think of a guy and a band from Gainesville, Florida.

For the Beach Boys we could do:

Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there

The Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night

I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls

The West coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a french bikini on Hawaii island
Dolls by a palm tree in the sand

I been all around this great big world
And I seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world

I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls

It seems familiar for some reason but I can't place it. Probably something that I hear on the radio from time to time or round friends' houses maybe. Then again I might just find that I've got it in my collection on vinyl and CD as well as three cover versions, one of which I listened to on the way home last night. I'm not going to search just yet though...

 

[killercane]

Cant believe nobody jumped in on that one. Tom Petty and the illustrious Heartbreakers. That will be the only one I get.

should have got it! it was in that " its very familiar from way back but I can't quite place it" place along with most of the albums I have on tape!

 

[madviking]

California Girls...

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Tom Petty and the HBers are one of my favorite bands. Just for Damn the Torpedoes they deserve a spot in the Hall of Fame. Not that the Hall of Fame is worth a lot.

I mean they haven't elected Daghie to it yet! What is up with that!

Time for another round?

 

[Daghdha]

Officially a couple since new years eve -06

 

[madviking]

Congrats Daghy

 

[Sir Bugsy]

She's a catch Daghie. You clean up nicely too.

Congratulations to the both of you!

 

[Daghdha]

Thank you very much gents

 

[Ansar]

Is that really you?

 

[Daghdha]

Yeah, that's me....to the right...

 

[madviking]

To the Right? You're kidding...

 

[Rik Meleet]

I think I know her. Is her name Sara by any chance ?
