I've just scored 10/10 in a Facebook quiz, identifying which 60's song some excerpts came from. This inspires me to start yet another game thread (sorry), not necessarily using 60s hits.

Name the tune this line comes from (and add a line from another number)

"I could make you mine, taste your lips of wine . . ."

The Circle Game, Joni Mitchell

I'll give you television, I'll give you eyes of blue.

Is that David Bowie? Possibly 'china Girl'

If it is:

God only knows that I could die right now!

Often sung in the garden after winewine by me and all three daughters. blush

I hope no-one does cheat by googling.

Is that the Beach Boys?

God only knows? or is that too easy?

if it is then:

'Once he reached for something golden, hanging from a tree'

No its not the Beach Boys and I have no idea who sang yours.

Jalima1108 Sun 23-Apr-17 11:33:40

It was OK kitty but better than nothing grin

No answers to either yours or mine
(that is not a lyric btw)

Hint: Mine was by a woman, the LP has the same name as that song, just after the 1960s.

That's Tapestry by Carole King. The song "Tapestry" itself.

kittylester Sun 23-Apr-17 16:40:24

Was my David Bowie answer correct?

Ana Sun 23-Apr-17 16:44:26

I'm sure it was kitty, but what was yours? confused
