The Slightly Obscure Music Discussion And Quizzy Thread

[Minty]

As discussed in a previous Off Topic Thread I have started this as a place to discuss all things vaguely related to Music & Lyrics, and a quiz just for good measure.

I need to start with a picture quiz so here goes - An easy peasy one to get things going.

Lyrics and song please.

Going to give someone else a chance...cool song BTW, came out during my Senior year in High School when I was so smart and knew everything...

C'mon @Tera, @The_Doc_Man and @AccessBlaster

C'mon @Tera, @The_Doc_Man and @AccessBlaster

Too hard for me. I'll wait for others to step in.

 

[The_Doc_Man]

So far, drawing a blank. The only song I remember that references James Dean doesn't have a lyric consistent with those pictures. Still thinking, though.

 

[isladogs]

I'm guessing its something to do with the Oasis album Standing On The Shoulders of Giants ...but as I can't stand Oasis, I don't know the songs or lyrics

Jack and Diane - John Cougar

The lyric:
"Jack he sits back, collects his thoughts for a moment
Scratches his head, and does his best James Dean
Well, now then, there, Diane, we ought to run off to the city"

♪ Oh yeah, life goes on ♫

Seems so obvious when the answers are posted but before that I'm pretty much clueless. I haven't guessed one yet. Maybe if it were just song titles I might have a chance because while I recollect the lyrics so far, they're not so familiar that the pics bring them to mind. I might just be too literal in my thinking.

 

[Minty]

Okay - let's restrict it to song titles for the time being, I think that the huge repertoire of music knowledge between us should keep us going on the title for some time.

 

[Deleted member 147267]

As soon as I win one, I have mine ready!

 

[Minty]

@NauticalGent You are up I believe!

 

[NauticalGent]

Song titles only....hmmmm....give me a sec

Never heard that song. Neither knew about John Cougar.

 

[isladogs]

Nor me.
Still waiting on NG....

 

[Minty]

Was a blast from my longer past! In fairness to @NauticalGent it has taken me a while to think of song and then the clues.

 

[isladogs]

I'm not being critical of NG for taking his time.....
So far, like Tera, I've got none of these though I had at least heard of the previous songs.
Suppose I better think up an example of my own in case I do get a future example

Can we relax the rules slighly - song or album title

 

[Minty]

No hard and fast rules here, this is the easy listening lounge - Album or song title is fine.

 

[isladogs]

BTW - how did the third image fit as a clue?

It's Diane from the Manga Seven Deadly Sins series, a bit obscure but I thought it would be too easy with Diane Keaton, or Princess Di.

 

[isladogs]

Well at least I would have known Diane was a clue ...but in this case would have got no further anyway.
Perhaps I best leave this to those more expert than me!. Watch & learn!
