Thread Name: (Quiz) What song is this line from ?
Subject: RE: (Quiz) What song is this line from ?
And these also remain unguessed so far:
G-16 "This earth is just rehearsal for when I'm heaven bound." (Written and recorded by one of our own most beloved Mudcatters - and a song with poignant personal significance.)
G-17 " Well I never will believe what another woman says, let her be white, yeller, dark or brown, Unless she is on some high gallows tree and a-sayin that she wants to come down. " (Trad, I believe, and recorded by one of our most famous Mudcatters.)
G-18 "When we sing, a spark within us wakes & is fanned into a flame. To those who hear our spirit's voice, it calls in them the same" (Written and recorded by one of our prolific Mudcatter songwriters.)
G-20 "I got three hot kitties begging, pretty pretty, Just to go out on the town at night. ... Sometimes I turn-a my back & they slip through a crack, And those down town pussies get more than I do!" (Written and recorded by one of our other prolific Mudcatter (male) songwriters, FOR another (female) Mudcatter -- as part of an auction, I think.)
Hint: These particular Mudcatter-spawned songs all have something additional in common. The prize money doubles for whoever can figure out what that common bond is. ยง;-D
G-6 "We'll have to walk down where the fields are overgrown. Consumption's claimed his life and we dare not miss the sight ... " (Hint: The singer I learned it from is now married to the songwriter.)
G-8 "Oh, it's fine to pass away, but when people start to pay, That's no time for a businessman to die!" (Hint: lesser-known song from a very well-known US songwriter. One of his earlier compositions after immigrating to the US and breaking onto the music scene of Tin Pan Alley.)
