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 . . ."

Think it was written by Leonard Cohen? Also sung by Neil Diamond.

Meatloaf - Paradise by the dashboard light! You should hear us sing it - it's awesome!!grin

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

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

Was my David Bowie answer correct?

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

Jalima1108 Sun 23-Apr-17 14:41:23

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.

Jalima1108 Sun 23-Apr-17 10:51:27

Is that the Beach Boys?

God only knows? or is that too easy?
