Can You Guess The Song?


Recommended Posts

Jockstar, Bops is right to a point well, a half point...

This is another song though.

You are looking for the Dylan/O´Keefe´s Well, well,well....

It was copyrighted in 1996, and was co-written with the Seattle singer/songwriter Danny O'Keefe.

Here's what Alan Fraser writes about it

"This song was first performed live by Don Henley at the Walden Woods Benefit, Foxboro, MA, 6 Sep 1993, although he has never officially recorded it. The first official release was by David Lindley and Hani Naser on their album "Playing Even Better" (Pleemhead 75676-2, 1995), followed by an outing on Maria Muldaur's "Fanning The Flames" album (Telarc Bues CD 83394, 1996).

Gil Walker: "The guy I heard about the song from is also a film/music critic for a local group of weekly newspapers; he told me he asked Maria about the song at a recent club appearance, and she told him, that, as far as she knew, no one else had released a version of the song. Where did she get it? She said she just called up Dylan one day and asked him if he had anything on hand she could put on her new record - so he sent it to her! Unfortunately, she didn't say (or John didn't ask) whether she got sheet music, a Dylan demo, or something else to work from."

(It's since been reported to me that on the demo tape Maria received the song was performed by co-writer Danny O'Keefe, not Bob, so there is no circulating Dylan version.) Danny O'Keefe released his own version in February 2000, on his album "Running From The Devil" (Miramar 090006-23148-2), its first appearance from one of its writers. Thanks to Hans Marijnissen for the information that the lyrics are at Danny O'Keefe's web-site.

David Lindley re-recorded the song with Wally Ingram on their September 1998 album "Twango Bango Deluxe" (Ulftone UTCD-003) and it has also been covered by Steve Howe with P.P. Arnold as guest vocalist on his June 1999 album "Portraits Of Bob Dylan" (Eagle Records, UK/Purple Pyramid CLP 0600-2, US).

kayo thanks searchingforagem for the additional info.

The song i was thinking of was

The Proclaimers- It's Saturday Night

Heres the lyrics...

It's Saturday Night

It's Saturday night, I'm feeling on song

I think I'm alright, I know I'm all wrong

The drink that I had three hours ago

Has been joined by fourteen others

In a steady flow

So lot me walk straight, don't let me feel pain

I'm gonna scratch cars, with my keys again

cos when I go home and fall on my bed

If it doesn't leave my stomach, It'll split my head

Ok another one.

I was born long ago

I am the chosen I’m the one

I have come to save the day

And I won’t leave until I’m done

So that’s why you’ve got to try

You got to breath and have some fun

Though I’m not paid I play this game

And I won’t stop until I’m done

the song is called spitting in the wind...

I cannot for the life of me remember the band name....

'pissing in the wind' is the song title on the album but it was toned down to 'spitting in the wind' for radio play and single release. ill give you half a point!!

by 'badly drawn boy'

Heres my question..../ quote

Begin the day

With a friendly voice

A companion, unobtrusive

Plays that song that’s so elusive

And the magic music makes your morning mood

Easy.... :D
