the last line of the song is known as a famous "Mondegreen."

well, that gave it away of course, easy to find now, and yes, there is a 'bathroom on the right':

"Bad Moon Rising", by CCR :)

edit: might as well add the next one....:)

Songtitle

note: this one might be a bit difficult, as the clues are based more on association than on the the actual words, so maybe if this wasn't as a big a hit abroad as it was overhere...we'll see how it goes ;)

:arms: Yay, that was the one, you were right to go ahead and add your next clue!

I've always been fond of CCR, and John Fogerty, even while he was being sued for being too much like himself, what a joke! :icon_roll

Here's what I've been listening to lately in my car, from his "Blue Moon Swamp" album. (some bayou stuff for sure - and that's why JF's been on my mind a bit.) :biggrin:


So anyway, Helanren, now off to try and decipher your newest, and thanks for the Fogerty moments! ;)

Hooray Helanren!
The melody sounds familiar so I must've heard that song before but didn't know the name of it (and thanks for the link btw :)). To me rising = sun so I'd never associate it with moon (my fault - bad english).

Moving on to Helanren's pict. clue... purple gloves (clapping?) and a green frog talking of purple hearts? Something to do with a prince?

Looking at wikipedia, it may be a more obscure song outside the Netherlands....so a few additional hints:

a) I remember it well, because overhere it was the first song promoted with (sort of) a clip, rather than seeing the actual band play (or playback :lol:!) on 'Top of the Pops' and similar programs
b) the frog refers to that clip
c) the colour + the copyright part are clues for the artist

rjk1010 09-22-2008 07:02 PM

Re: Pictionary
 
I'm truly stumped (hmm, when am I ever not with pictionary... :p). I searched for "Top of the Pops" plus possible songtitles and I couldn't even come up with a half-decent guess.
The singer, is he/she/them famous? Gloves + purple + google suggested a band called "The purple gang" (???) but somehow I don't think that's it...

Yes, the band/artist is quite famous, but I admit (this time... :)) that it might be a bit too difficult (as that particular song is perhaps not as famous 'abroad' as it is overhere).

However, you are looking in the right direction!

How about first Googling that band (you're very close, just qualify that colour a bit...), and then see what the clues in the copyrightbox may have to do with it?

Note: the song was actually part of a solo project of the artist, not of the band he became famous with, but I thought (ah well, I could be wrong :lol:) he would be easier to find through his band, therefore those clues in the picture....

The project was inspired by this 1802 poem, which incidentally does have its own Wikipediapage:

Re: Pictionary
 
Oooh, I think I found it! :elephant:

Is it Roger Glover's "Love is All" from the album The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast?

I see he is in the band Deep Purple, and I finally found the frog, too!I discovered that the poem "The Butterfly's Ball, and the Grasshopper's Feast" was written in 1802 by William Roscoe.

(Also found reference to a possible relationship to the Beatles' song "All You Need is Love" - which parts of this song do seem to resemble.)

And the glove reference pretty much ties it up in a purple bow! :wink:

Now that you've seen it, do you remember the clip as well, or was that just me :)?

Re: Pictionary
 
Oh, yay, I did figure it out! It's been a while since I got one!

To tell you the truth, Helanren, I don't think I'd ever seen or heard of any of this until now.
And considering where my head was back then - http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...d57/hippie.gif - it's really surprising!

So thanks for filling a gap in my past I didn't even know I had! :wink:

And here's my little dingbat attempt to portray a SONG.

(Sort of crude, but it gets the point across, I think.)

Re: Pictionary
 
:lol: I often think I should join in this game, but I just never have a clue what on earth is portrayed :rotfl: For example, I'd think now:
"Walking on horse shoes"
Which I'm pretty sure isn't a song... yet...

:idea: Maybe the second one isn't a horse shoe, but a "U"... so then I'd go for

"Run to You" - Bryan Adams
Though the running is on the U... ow well :)

Helanren 09-26-2008 03:09 PM

Re: Pictionary
 
I'd say "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" composed by Lee Hazlewood and first recorded by Nancy Sinatra. Or, as wikipedia tells us: "often incorrectly listed as "These Boots", "These Boots Were Made for Walkin'" and "These Boots Are Made for Walking."

and if that's correct, then itSFme was of course right to say that

After all....
"These boots are made for walkin', and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you" :biggrin:


rbud57 09-26-2008 03:53 PM

Re: Pictionary
 
Oh, wow, that's such a good answer it's tempting to let you have it!

I remember singing that song all the time when I was about 9 or 10, and I thought it was the coolest thing! Woohoo, all that go-go dancing action, yeah!

The girls look good in those short outfits and dark hose, too - maybe that's one of the things that influenced me, I never wear any color but black/dark tights or hose on the few occasions I have to wear them at all!

But regretfully I have to say that it's not the song I had in mind, though the "walking" and "over you" is spot on.

A bit older in time - and now I want to listen to Nancy again! (the heck with Jessica Simpson . . . )

"are ya ready, boots? Start walkin!"

It's not AC DC Walk Over You is it?

Must be (past) time for a hint! :nodder:

It's a

vintage :cowboy7: song - should have had him in those kind of boots, maybe! :lol9:

Oh - and what's he walking on over U? (using a very basic sort of term.)

is it Blue Suede Shoes?

Re: Pictionary
 
No, sorry, but welcome to Nord and especially the Pictionary thread, we could use some fresh artistic efforts in here! :)
Spoiler:
If you look a few posts back, you'll see I said that "walking" and "over you" are correct - by that I meant that those words are in the title. ;)

jenaay 10-06-2008 12:34 AM

Re: Pictionary
 
Thank you for the welcome. Not sure about artistic but who knows, I may give it a try at some point. Anyway...

Is it: Walking the Floor Over You by Glenn Campbell?

rbud57 10-06-2008 02:54 AM

Re: Pictionary
 
You have the correct title! :arms:
(though I originally heard it done by Ernest Tubb)

So feel free to jump in, it's your turn! :biggrin:

As you can see if you look back in the thread, you can create a clue in almost any way you like on almost any subject.

Good to meet you too! I thought it was supposed to be warm today but I am freezing!

I'm guessing it may be "Twelve Monkeys"?
