If there isn't one among you that cannot guess my No. 5 from page 16, you're all in a "HEEP" of trouble!!! Follow?

COMF

You're a heep?
I - a heep?
You're / I a heep?

Yep, seems it was Mark gone solo. Here'a a link. http://www.marklindsay.com/history.htm

You guys aren't trying very hard with my last one. I swear, that is the first verse. Sung clearly, articulately, as I have reproduced it here.

COMF

someone out there who knows a little about southern rock...

Well... I Know a Little 'Bout It (and baby, I can guess the band) LOL Skynard!

Cowboy

Haha COMF...I knew you could do it.I'm still working on yours though,dang it I know I know that one.

I don't know what that southern rock song is. But , I,ve been amazed by how very familiar lyrics (favorite songs at the time) seem so foreign when taken out of their era and stripped of musical accompaniment! Uriah Heep is correct and I,ve got a notion that you probably don't look favorably upon them as a musician (Which I am not!). The critics responded to them in unkind manner, yet at the time (early seventies) they were an ever present backdrop and reference to some of the best times I,ve ever had ( and shouldn't have as a WITLESS)!

How's 'bout this southern band:

When the water is a rising and there ain't no place to hide

When the dams have all been busted and there's floodin' down inside

When the rushin' old man river comes to take you for a ride

That's when I'll be right here, by your side, (song title), where the water meets the road...

COMF

You gave enough of that one for me to recognize it, if I knew it, Mac. Don't think I've heard it. And you're right, I was less than impressed by Uriah Heep. Actually, their music was okay. It was the singing I didn't like. But that's been true of more than a couple of rock bands... Molly Hatchet, for example ( 'ell... 'm 'on' turn 'eze boys loose onya one time, bab' ), Helloween, King Crimson (except when it was Greg Lake, and the excellent guest spot by Jon Anderson on Lizard), and so on.

Okay, more lyrics on that dum dum dum dum diddy doo wah tune:

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

That ought to give it away like candy on Halloween...

NeonMadman

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

Sounds like Bye Bye Love - the Everly Brothers, I believe, though Simon and Garfunkel did a version of it in their early days, too.

Here's another obscure one to drive you all mad:

I live with the decent folks in the hills of old Vermont
Where what you do all day depends on what you want

plmkrzy

Dont ask me why because I couldn't tell you anyway, but as I was reading the latest clues an old song popped into my head and began to interfere with my memory.LOL

"Extra extra...read all about it"

plum

NeonMadman

"Extra extra...read all about it"

Hmmm...pretty sure it's from the Who's Tommy. The next line, if I'm not mistaken is "Pinball wizard in a miracle cure". I'm not sure of the exact track title, but I think it may have been Miracle Cure.
