Name That Tune
 

They started this in Chit Chat, but I guess it was not very popular.


Rules:

1. Post at least 3 lines to a song. . .hopefully you know the correct lyrics. ;)

2. The next poster has to guess at least the TITLE of the song.

3. Then said poster has to post new lyrics to a song for someone else to guess.

Get it?
Got it?
GOOD!! :D


Imma start you all off a little easy:

Rainbow
Let me know the storm has past.
These memories
Will last and last.
Passion
Curling through the core of the night.
Where have you been
All my life.

What in the world is that?
 

Can we get the Genre? I mean, don't post some polka chit we haven't heard of. LOL

You can delete this post later. :D

Re: What in the world is that?
 

Mine is rra and B!!! LOL

Rainbow? Passion? Huh?
 

:confused:

I think it's B and Rra myself. :p

It's New Edition "delicious"

Here's mine.

GENRE: Rap

Me and my fam' roll tight like The Firm
Gettin down for life, thats right, you better learn
Why play with fire, burn
We get together like a choir, to acquire what we desire

Jay-Z "Can't knock the hustle" (off of his best album BTW)

Genre: Rra and B

And now I find myself
Taken over by the feeling
And I know within my heart
It's too late to say goodbye now
There's a place in me
That belongs to you, baby
So relax and be mine

Love's takin Over by Chante Moore


Genre: old school r&b

I'm been so many places
seen so many things
but none quite as lovely as you
more beautiful than the Mona Lisa
worth more than gold
and my eyes have pleasure to behold

Song for You by Donny Hathaway :D

R&B
The day you held me in your arms
I still smell da scent of you
On my dress unbelievable
And you was so masculine
The way I felt your chest up next to mine
I felt you in my heart
Now I breathe love
You are so amazing
Unbelievable baby
It's you that make me smile
When everything gets crazy

That's not correct.

...Bill Clinton and the Oval Office jam?

I know I'm wrong for that.

Latest, Greatest Inspiration - Teddy Pendergrass (my husband and I danced our first dance to that song :D )

Genre: old school rap
Hey sport, here's a thought from the old school crew
A serious situation we all go through
It deals with your feelings, so hear what I say
It's like a day, but nothing seems to go your way
Bust this, two people, they really like each other
He says there's no one else
And she claims there is no other
The feelings are same, and you receive a notion
To reveal your inner thoughts and deeply hidden emotions

Slick Rick...A Teenage Love

Here's one...old school rap

Must I say it again, I said it before
Move out the way when I'm comin' through the door
Me, heavy? Light as a rock
Guys watch, even some of the girls clock.

slight hijack but it's sorta on point
 

There is this great kids/rap song that I hear on the radio and my daughters love it and I want to get it for them. It's got an AfAm history theme to it, how civilization started in Africa, we're Kings/Queens, etc..

the hook says:

I know I can
(chorus: I know I can)
Be what I wanna be
(chorus: be what I wanna be)

If I work hard at it, I can do anything...

if anybody knows the artist, album title, I'd apprecate it.

**end of hijack**

Light as a Rock - MC Lyte


Here's another one...old school R&B

All I know
When I'm with you
You make me feel so good
through and through
The way you walk
and the way you talk
You always look so good
You make me forget my thoughts


BTW...TonyB06 the name of the song is I Can by Nas (it's on his God's Son CD)

Thanks, Deltagyrl13. ...good lookin' out.

Candy Girl-New Edition


Genre: Old School R&B

Early in the morning I put breakfast on the table
and make sure that your coffee has its sugar and cream
your eggs are over easy
your toast done lightly
all that's missing is your morning kiss that used to greet me
now you say the juice is sour
it used to be so sweet

Is that Superwoman by Karen White (?)


ol' school "r & b"

I'll give you all the love I wanted to
But half a love is all I fell
Well it's too bad, it's just too sad
You don't want me
But I want to change your mind
Some ways, somehow

Yes.

Can I get another verse or sumpin?!!?!? :p

I Want You...Marvin Gaye :)

Genre: Gospel

The agony of being alone
Fear of doing things on my own
The tests and trials that come
To make me strong....

I need you now by Snokie Norful


Gospel

Jesus You are my cornerstone
You are my friend when I'm alone
You're the convictor when I'm wrong
Jesus You are yeah
You're the peace within my storm
You are the shelter from all harm
I love it when You hold me in Your arms
Everything I need You are

Kirk Franklin... I think the name of the song was "You Are"

Here goes:

If I had a wish
Baby I wish
He never left you feeling like this
'Cause I can feel your pain
But if you just could get over here
Maybe some wine will empty your mind

Now can we dim the lights
Let's make a toast that it will be alright

Cheers 2 u By Playa

Genre: R&B

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The night are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Unbreak my heart- Toni Braxton

Category- Modern R&B/Hip-Hop
When I talk to my friends so quietly,
Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me,
Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress,
If you ain't there ain't nobody else to impress,
The way that you know what I thought I knew,
It's the beat my heart skips when I'm with you,
But I still don't understand,
Just how the love your doing no one else can.

finally one i know...
 

beyonce---crazy in love

r&b:

sometimes at night, i call your name
and i catch myself from falling
where there is love, sometimes there's pain
still my love is growing....
i'm in a daze, i'm so confused
since you have s topped running
i'll take my time, i'll wait for you
'cause i know you'll be coming

Re: finally one i know...
 

*crickets*

Soror, can we get another clue?

Someone has to figure this one out.

Re: finally one i know...
 

OMG I know this. .. . I went to school with his daughter and the woman in the song was a member of my church, RIP.

Gentle by Frederick. . .classic tune.



Hmmmmm let me see

I never knew love could be so sweet
It never made a difference to me
But ever since the day that you appeared
I'm telling you made the difference
Now love is so clear

R&B

Re: Re: finally one i know...
 

Can't Stop by After 7


Two people take a vow to be together
and live and love each other forever.
They promise to love a lifetime
funny thing then they change their minds.
They both go their seperate ways and love is just a memory.
But a young heart doesn't stay sad long another love soon comes along.

genre: Old School House

Re: Re: Re: finally one i know...
 

That's the way love is - Billy Crawford (This one threw me for a loop for a second! :) )

Genre: R & B

Six on a Thursday night 'n you be jonesin' baby
For a brother to hold you tight 'n keep on going
Last lover came 'n went didn't even hug 'n kiss
'n caress you
Gimme a call it's cool
the M's all open
I'm open wider than oceans
I'll be your lotion
If it's alright

Maxwell "Til the Cops Come Knockin"

I know I may have made mistakes before
but now i understand what those mistakes were for
throughout my travels girl I've realized
what you see, what you get don't always coincide
a bird in the hand beats two in a bush
but just one look was all it took
could it be that you're the only one that I'm thinking of
harmony, ecstasy there's something about this love

R & B

the crack head and the king of rb also known as -

WHITNEY HOUSTON and BOBBY BROWN
We Have Somethin in Common.

This song dates back to like 1993 when she still had good talent, and when he, well he was still Bobby!

OK here's another RB/HIP HOP

Life can be only what you make it
When you're feeling down you should never fake it
Say what's on your mind
And you'll find in time
That all the negative energy - it will all decease
Any you'll be at peace with yourself
You won't really need no one else
Except for the man of your life
Because he'll bring you love

My Life by Mary Blige

Funny I was going to post this one!

Smooth R&B

You keep holding on, to your thoughts of rejection
If you're with me, I'm secured
You keep telling me that your time is always taken
But I keep seeing you out alone

Pretty Brown Eyes "Mint Condition"

Okay, I will take a break from posting in this thread, but I love music and this is such a fun thread

R & B

Early one morning when you were asleep
I received a letter but there was no addressee
So I paid it no mind, and packed
I wanted to send it back
But something that I was feel said open it
It said dear reader once close friend of mine
Hope that this letter finds you in time
Cause your love is ending
And my life's just beginning
With a woman that I know you hold dear to you
