Who was it?

They were called Terry and Julie, George and Marie, Richard and Marie-Claire… and so on. For decades mysterious characters have been appearing in the texts of popular rock songs: Some of them real, whereas others were only made up. But which were the real characters?

Name That Tune 2.11
Posted by Dave on Mar 07, 2009 | 4 Comments
Welcome to another round of Name That Tune. If I was a day late last time, then I’m a little early this week, as I will be working tomorrow…
Last week I was looking for:
The Police – When the World is Running Down, You Make the Best of What’s Still Around
Clodagh Rodgers – Biljo
It appears that my clues to Clodagh made it a little too easy as most players got it right… I will be more careful...

After popping in an extra tune this week, I am now back on my regular scheduling for Name That Tune. So prepare for another twofer this weekend.
The clips from last week were “The Chi-Lites” with their famous “Have You Seen Her”, a marvellous song in my opinion, which takes me back to happy days in my home in England in the 70s. Rather surprisingly I think, only one player...

Below the table and above the clue for next week, you will find a short trivia about the bands featured last week. At the end of the quiz you will see your score and the answers. But don’t forget to let me know how you fare, as I can’t see the results myself…

Name That Tune 2.5
Posted by Dave on Feb 01, 2009 | 6 Comments
Its starting to heat up a little after Alan slipped up last week after getting the title of the Korgis song wrong (sorry, got to be strict on you Alan!), but he still has a comfortable lead. Actually it appears that Siouxie and the Banshees are obviously more popular than I thought. This week though, its another tough twofer as we have one very influential 60s British band and a multinational rock and roll outfit from...
Name That Tune 2.4

Welcome to a new round of Name That Tune. As some of you may have noticed, I have added a new feature to Name That Tune. All songs featured (as long as they are available) will be presented on the video page at Mystery Lyrics. I don’t know for how long it will be possible to link to youtube videos at all – at present Sony BMG are asserting copyright on their songs, therefore it seems they are being removed...
