And another King.....

[hobbitomm]

Usual rules, no googling, name the song, singer, and connection!



1) Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop, Just a man and his will to survive

2) Well that's right , that's right , that's right, that's right

3) Never walk alone after midnight. If you don’t believe it, you’d better beware of me!

4) Near the village, the peaceful village…………

5) See they want to be the star, So they fighting tribal war

6) The Sweeney’s doing 90, cos they’ve got the word to go. They get a gang of Villains in a shed up at Heathrow

7) We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully, Wonderfully pretty!

8) .....why does it grieve me so, that your heart seems so silent? Why do you breathe so low? Why do you breathe so low?

9) For he’s the master criminal who can defy the law

10) Deep in the forest of my night, You are the one who keeps me strong in this world

6) Cool for cats
7) Lovecats

[copperbird.livejournal.com]

oops, 7 is by The Cure. Can't remember who sang the other one, my memory says Squeeze but I dunno.

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Right to both songs, and to both groups!

[meepfrog.livejournal.com]

Of /course/ Lovecats....

3 is an Abba song, but I can't remember the title (although tigers feature in the song somehow)
5 is, I think, something like Lion, Iron, Zion, but I have no idea how the band is
8 is "My Lady D'Arbanville" by Cat Stevens

So yes, cat themed.

3) Is indeed Tiger, by Abba
5) Is indeed Iron, Lion, Zion
8)And yes, it was Cat Stevens, and Lady d'Arbanville

You guys are good at cats :)

[copperbird.livejournal.com]

Iron Lion Zion is Bob Marley?

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Yup :) Just watched the youtube video of him performing it. GOD he looked out of it!

Tiger feet is Mudd I think, and isn't cool for cats by Squeeze, Jools Holland's old band?

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Both correct, yeah. And youtube has a lovely video clip, showing a very very young looking Jools.
