Based on the songs they post in the "Song Title Game," I suspect this will appeal to GarySL, John in VA, Esteban and hopefully a few others.

Game is simple, I post a snippet of lyrics (I try to avoid the title, the chorus, and the first line but a few of those may creep in), you name the song and artist (no Googling, obviously). I'll post a few theme sets throughout the holiday weekend (assuming folks seem to be playing along and enjoying), before it's back to the real world on Monday.

These will mostly be classic rock, early rock & roll, or standards, but not entirely, because that's what I know. Sorry to all the hip-hop and Taylor Swift fans out there.

And since we are on Bimmerpost, the first theme is cars/roads/gas:

1. I can't give it away on 7th Avenue
2. Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue
3. I don't know when that road turned in to the road I'm on
4. Is there gas in the car? Yes there's gas in the car
5. The door's open but the ride it ain't free
6. My Maserati does 185
7. A custom plate that says I-E-A-T Z28
8. Brakes are good, tires fair
9. Nothin' outrun my V8 Ford
10. Four-speed, dual-quad, positraction
11. '48 Cadillac with Thunderbird wings
12. Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected
13. V8 motor and this modern design
14. She pulls back onto Main Street in her new Mercedes-Benz
15. Fill up and you don't have to pay
16. Wipe the windows, check the tires, check the oil, dollar gas
17. Well my buddy Jim Bass he's a workin' pumpin' gas
18. Fill me up with 5-Star gasoline

Good luck and enjoy!

Do we have to name them all to play. A few jump out at me with me having to think about it -

1. I can't give it away on 7th Avenue -Shattered - Rolling Stones
6. My Maserati does 185 - Life's Been Good to Me So Far - Joe Walsh
12. Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected - Born to Run - Bruce

EDIT - Damn - I hate brain freeze. I knew this one it just took a while for the needle to hit that place on the record in my brain!

Adding 15. Fill up and you don't have to pay - Car Wash - Rose Royce

You absolutely do NOT have to name them all to play. Thanks for being the first to give it a go!

Great job on these, all three are correct!

Correctamundo!

[GarySL]

3. "I don't know when that road turned in to the road I'm on" Running on Empty - Jackson Browne

[GarySL]

8. "Brakes are good, tires fair" (all time fav) Hot Rod Lincoln - Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen

[Vindicator3]

Three more correct!

(though minor nits so far - "Life's Been Good" is the full title of 6 and at least originally Simon & Garfunkel rather than Paul Simon is the artist for 2).

Keep those guesses coming! Longer snippets tomorrow for any that remain unsolved, and maybe some new ones as well, assuming folks like the game.

[GarySL]

All correct above!

Finally get to relax, attend the granddaughter at the lagoon, while my wife swam her two miles, get our farm share for the week, chase three deer out of the garden, call the pest control guy to address an ant breakout in the upstairs bedroom and stop for lunch:

4. Just get it all out of here. Is there gas in the car? Yes, there's gas in the car – Kid Charlemagne - Steely Dan

We are down to just three:

13. V8 motor and this modern design
16. Wipe the windows, check the tires, check the oil, dollar gas
17. Well my buddy Jim Bass he's a workin' pumpin' gas

Which earns you all some new ones:

CLOTHING

19. The man in the suit has just bought a new car from the profit he made on your dreams.
20. Anyone who tries to deny it wears a tie and gets paid to lie
21. I'd like to meet his tailor
22. Dribble off those Bobby Brooks slacks
23. My cleanest dirty shirt
24. I stashed the bill in my shirt

HEADS

25. There's somone in my head, but it's not me
26. You shoulda heard just what I seen
27. Meanwhile, I was still thinkin' (bonus for getting both the original plus the deep cut classic that quoted this line)
