Music trivia "Name the song & artist"

First one!

I know a mouse and he hasn't got a house.
I don't know why I call him Gerald.
He's getting rather old but he's a good mouse.

Can we use google?

Now that would be too easy, let get some educated guesses first.

Clue: Year is 1967, and still a popular band today.

This one is pretty tough!

I disqualified myself ... wouldn't have known this one ... cn

I can't remember the name of the song, but it's Pink Floyd, right?

rush , couldn't even begin to think of a title

It is most certainly Pink Floyd can not recall the name either.

Pink Floyd is right.

so whats the name of the song

The song is "Bike"...From back in the day when Syd Barrett was still vocalist.

post up another few lyrics from another song this shit is hard , has to be a diff artist

My wild love went ridin'
She rode all the day
She wrote to the devil
And asked him to pay
The devil was wiser
It's time to repent
He asked her to give back
The money she spent

1968.....This one should be a bit easier.

Oh and feel free to post your own trivia.

Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:

Chorus:
Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size
Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get "em" out of here
Venus de Milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to Rose

Repeat Chorus

Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye

Repeat Chorus


This was one of the first songs I ever learned to sing note for note. And my dad wondered why I was a fatalist from a young age. +rep to anyone who knows this without searching.

That one's got me stumped. Sounds familiar in a way though.

uggghhh country music thats for sure that is what it is country folk music

i didnt know anyone else listened to john other than that wacky aunt i have who lives in nova scotia lol

theres someone here on riu btw who has the "name" or avatar of "illegal smile" so unless that is a reference to john prine or just a coincidence then you should ask maybe you can chat it up like buds about folk music and such...

no offense to those who like country or folk etc... its just not my cup of tea...

I used to do a little, but the little wouldn't do. So the little got more and more. I just keep trying te get a little better, said a little better than before.
