Hi Everybody!! I trust you all had a marvelous week-end...I did!! And since we are all still basking in the afterglow of a perfect Spring Day, I thought I would provide some Musical Memories ......for Musical Monday!!
It's funny how certain bits of Americana, play such a roll in our lives and our recollections of a happier and less stressful time. I'm going to give the opening lines of some classic tunes, these are so very easy, that this is not a quiz! These are just songs that have been played so much over the course of our lives, that they will instantly transport us to a different time and place.....
1. " Trailer for sale or rent"
2. "Memories light the corners of my mind"
3. " There she was just a walkin down the street"
4. " The purpose of a man is to....love a woman"
5. " All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go"
6. " 73 men sailed up, from the San Francisco Bay"
7. " It's getting to the point...where I'm no fun anymore"
8. " You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain"
9. " Go away from my window, leave at your own chosen speed"
10. " I'm getting bugged driving up and down the same old strip"
11. " Slow down, you move too fast, you gotta make the morning last"
12. " Well it's one for the money, two for the show"
13. "Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC, didn't get to sleep last night"
14. " There is a house in New Orleans"
15. " Left your motor runnin......Head out on the highway".............
You may never think of these songs at all......Till you hear the opening lines!
Have a great week.....Thanks for visiting ole G-Man..... Peace!!

first....now back to read
aaahhh #11 i could have included on my list to answer your tag...
Limey?
You've become soooo competitive..Hahahahaha
I love it. xoxox
( I know your really NOT )
OK so I must have lived a sheltered life or something. There are a couple that just do not ring a bell at all. Most of them, however, I right away have the song playing away in my head by just reading the single line. Isn't that amazing.
By the way I had to look up #15. What I see says Get your motor runnin instead of left. It only matters because it was driving me crazy when I say the line you printed. Now that gives me an idea for a post later in the week.
You have a great week too G-man.
You are correct Bryan, but I ain't changing it now!
Did you win any money?
those lines do sound great although I havent heard the songs themselves..or maybe I have and the tune just sank in, not the words...
& I am humming careless whispers right now...
Very nice, nothing like fine tunes to get a good mood happening Galen :)
Mona, Careless Whisper is a great tune, but it's no "King of the Road"!
Cazzie, you got that right baby...xoxox
grape wine in a mason jar..lol
This is a lot of fun, galen.
I heard the songs as I read them, you're so right about how they become part of our consciousness.
Monday Monday.:)
tc
Morning TC,
I knew that you would have a couple. Yep, just a light little memory jog is all...
road rider? i heard one Ballad of the Easy rider once...
Then do you like hard rock. My son is pouring lava in my ears playing that earsplitting Linkin Park...& also that Aerosmith...SCREEEAAAMM!!
Mona, Linkin Park is great, and Aerosmith Rocks the house!!
C'Mon girl, expand your horizons a little...xoxox
Now if not for this 3 hour time handicap, I would have clearly been first, NOT lime! LOL
XXXXX
Good morning Galen :)
The song that's been in my head for weeks now that it's attempting to get warmer here is:
"In the summertime when the weather is fine, you can reach right up and touch the sky..."
That's always been my favorite song of that era. :)
Have a happy monday!

No, I didn't do any betting. If I did I would have lost as I mostly try and pick the winner and I would not have picked that pony.
Superb post G I've just started a Musical Monday over at mine. Come on by if you can.
"There she stood in the street, smiling from her head to her feet"
Sorry I know it's not Americana!!
I will be singing #1,3,4,&8 all day now! Glad you had a good weekend, mine was good too but busy, busy, busy!
I love all of those songs. I think the bad ass motorcycle mama is coming out in Lime...don't ya just love it! (now that's part of a song g-man!)
Yes Susie, you would have been clearly #1.
Limey's been a bit agressive lately, I want to stay on her good side!!

I paid the clerk and moved right in.
Can you guess that one?
I confess to knowing only 8 of them... does that give my age away, oh dear!
Now I can't get Manfred Mann and the Animals out my head
Can I say I knew them the second time round? LOL
I'll never get those songs out of my head. I'll be singing them all night.
Great songs, G!
Manny...NO!!!
Ann, you are younger than I am, thats why you don't know them all!!
Signgurl, you must listen to the Oldies station!
GALEN! ((((HUGS)))
Mona, that makes me feel great! Not many things better than a hug from a pretty lady...Thanks xox
OH DAMN! I now have all these songs running around in my head some are favorites of mine others are eh ok I guess! LOL thanks a lot!!! My answers are up!
5 and 13, so many memories. Great list G-man.
Yeppers that's the one!
OK Gabby, It's about time!
Tree', I'm glad you liked this silly stuff.
Jill, of course!!
G-man, the silly stuff is what keeps me sane, although with all my travel (business) of late, leaving on a jet plane is taking on a whole new meaning.
Galen, you are cracking me up about the pic!! :P Thank you. :)
And I think that's right. Mungo Jerry. I just know it's my brother and I's favorite song.
