Obscure (or not so much) music reference

[Mytical]

This is a forum game where you take a song and come up with another way of saying it..and people try to guess it. However, you must include some info about it..like for instance the first year it was sung in english..

Example: Numerous Crimson Helium Filled Objects -1984 first year sung in english
Answer - 99 red Balloons.

Try not to make them TOO far of a reach for the answer..you can also have a bonus question for who sang the song, but remember that a lot of songs have multiple artists. Also..one request per song to rephrase can be asked..so keep that in mind. :D

The name of the album for mine is what you are (among other things) if you do the song title hint. The band is a very long metal spike.

[El Pollo Guerrera]

"Shouldn't bite this", from the album ranked Billboard 200 number-one May, 2005.

"The Hand That Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails (it took some searching but I think I found it).

There isn't one to solve, so...

The flavor of bee barf - 1965

[barcode]

Errr... shouldn't this be in "Forum Games"?

Kittish
Little sunny spotted twosome.
dalesys
Little Deuce Coupe - The Beach Boys
Actually, dalesys, I think Kittish was going for "Itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka-dot bikini". There's nothing sunny or spotted about that Duece Coupe.
dalesys
The flavor of bee barf - 1965
"A Taste of Honey" (the date indicates it would be the Herb Albert and Tijuana Brass version, and not the Ohio Players ~1975/76).
Also, it's not "barf", per se, but more "regurgitation".

Hmmm. Something a little more modern:

"Idyllic enviornment viewed with automotive instrument panel illumination"

[protege]

Paradise by the Dashboard Lights -- Meat Loaf

This one hasn't been cleared up yet..... Is it Round and Round by Ratt?

and for my obscure song hint: Soft white silver metal - song on a 2007 album (the second ever released by the band)

[smfrazier]

Chanlin is right. It's "Can't Buy Me Love"

[Shpepper]

Chanlin is also correct on mine. Round and Round by Ratt .

[hornet95]

[Mytical]

Doh sorry, missed that one..yes a hint would be appreciated.

[Chanlin]

Soft white silver metal - song on a 2007 album (the second ever released by the band)

The band's name means "To gradually vanish from sight" or "To dissipate; as in a vapor"

[El Pollo Guerrera]

Lithium - Evanescence

Loved Ed the Sock's take on them... it was pretty courageous to use a big word that none of their fans would be able to spell... a term that basically meant "a musical fart."

I have no new one right now.

[smfrazier]

Rocket Man - Elton John

"Morning (Morning)" by Rich(ie) Havens <- parentheses are actual names.

This had me thrown, as I first thought maybe Dale was translating "Ritchie Valens" - but no RV song matched "Dawn". After running through "bay, gulf, inlet, marina, dock, haven... hey!", I finally got it.

Now, then...

Nobody's guessed mine yet, so I'll word it another way:

Boats Made of Lumber- 1969. by three male singers, performed at Woodstock

[Mytical]

That is because the only one that seems to fit is a bit too obvious, so there is no way it could be the right song.

Actually I was thinking of Wooden Ships by Crosby Stills and Nash. I didn't know there was another one.

[Mytical]

Hmm might be the same song, and I have mistaken information..or during woodstock Jefferson Airplane did a cover song .. or....I don't know...

[dalesys]

Wooden Ships was recorded by both JA & CSN. CSN performed it at Woodstock. It was written by Steve Stills, David Crosby (of CSN(&Y)) and Paul Kantner of JA.:p

[smfrazier]

Hmm might be the same song, and I have mistaken information..or during woodstock Jefferson Airplane did a cover song .. or....I don't know...

According to Wikipedia, the song was written by David Crosby, Stephan Stills, and Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Airplane. Both versions were released in 1969, I'm don't know which was first. The article says they differ slightly in wording and melody.

Sorry Dale, I didn't know you already posted the same information.
