Match the Themes of Songs

[Candy O]

Here you can match songs with their themes! They can range from heartbreak, to seasons, places, and food! Let's do this!!!

[60s Fan]

I just discovered this song today! It's called "Summertime", but it's not yet another cover of the old standard one! lol!

I am learning so many other Troggs songs, their singer recently died and that inspired me to get into them more... I only knew "Wild Thing", "Love Is All Around", and "With A Girl Like You" until now! They have so many other good songs! No idea why they never became more popular in the 60s! They were a great band! :)

[BeatleBob]

Off topic: when I logged on there is NO Shout Box on the front page??? :-(((

Could be Charlie Parker? Let me know. ;-)

Hey Beatlebob! I thought I was the only one who remembered that August is Shea Stadium anniversary month!

I briefly mentioned it on the shoutbox over at the BeatlesAbbeyRoad site, but I didn't think anyone cared. LOL!

I enjoyed all the new pictures you recently posted over there!

I actually considered a "sun" theme too, but I thought it would be too similar to the "summer" songs theme we already had! Which I thought of one more song for...

Abba - Our Last Summer

and "Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie" by Eddie Cochran for "name" theme.

The Doors - Waiting For The Sun

The Who - Sunrise

The Zombies - Walking In The Sun

Paul Revere & The Raiders - Mr. Sun, Mr. Moon

Queen - Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon

Spanky & Our Gang - Sunday Will Never Be The Same, Sunday Mornin'

The Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning (It's a different song lol they also have a song called "Who Loves The Sun")

U2 - Sunday, Bloody Sunday  (John & Yoko's The Plastic Ono Band also has a song by the same name, but it's different)

There's also an obscure 60s band called The Pyramids which only released one single... both the A and B side songs have "summer" in the title.

"Summer Of Last Year" and "Summer Evening".

:-)

[60s Fan]

While we're on the topic of weather, how about a new theme? "Rain" songs! LOL!

Rain - The Beatles

Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow - Strawberry Alarm Clock

I Wish It Would Rain - Mama Cass Elliot (solo)

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head - B.J. Thomas

Rainy Jane - Davy Jones (solo)

Purple Rain - Prince

Who'll Stop The Rain and Have You Ever Seen The Rain by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Rhythm Of The Rain - The Cascades

The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin

Rainy Day Women and A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall by Bob Dylan

 

And that's about all I can think of for now!

Hope you can think of at least one more "Rain" song to add to this list!

Talk to you later, Beatlebob! :-)

[60s Fan]

Oh yeah, and how could I forget Rainy Days and Mondays by The Carpenters?

I also thought of "Patches" by Clarence Carter for the name theme (It's a different song from the Dickey Lee one)

"It's a Sunshine Day" by The Brady Bunch Kids (LMAO! I like them, but I like the Partridge Family more! Lmfao!!!!)

"In The Sun" by She & Him (A modern band, but they're not bad.)

"Love In An Elevator" by Aerosmith

"Love In A Trashcan" by The Raveonettes (Also a modern band, but not bad.)

[Sorry if I'm breaking the rules of this site a bit by mentioning a few newer songs. I know everything on here is supposed to be "retro". But I noticed Beatlebob has mentioned some songs by Nirvana and Soundgarden, LOL so it's okay! Most of the songs we mention are oldies anyway. And at least the modern songs I mention sound retro!)

I thought of good ideas for some more song themes!

But since Beatlebob and BeatleGirl aren't here, I'll save them for later!

Come back soon, everyone! :-)

[BeatleBob]

Hey Sadie! Actually it was You that reminded me August is the Shea Stadium anniversary month!!! LOL! ;-) When I saw that you mentioned it in the Shout Box over at BAR!!! LOL!  :-) That's why I posted those Pics! So Glad you enjoyed them!! :-))) Yeah, it seems that it was only You and I that cared! LOL!

I Wonder where Candy O / BeatleGirl is??? :-((( I Hope she's Alright!!! And Hope we see her back soon at Both Sites!!! Does BeatleNut9 know about THIS site?? I wonder if she would be interested in joining Retro Sugar? I have'nt seen Kipp Buffy Hanks here for a good while too??? Well, at least in the meanwhile we are enjoying this site! ;-)

Yeah, I guess the "Sun" theme is too similar to the "Summer" theme? But, I knew there were a lot of songs out there that had Sun or Sunshine etc in the title. ;-) LOL!

Cool! Thanks for adding the Abba song!

And thanks for adding the songs with "Sun"!!  Some Great Songs!!! I like Spanky & Our Gang - Sunday Will Never Be The Same!! I was watching my DVD about The Turtles the other day. And Spanky & Our Gang used to hang out with them a lot! It's a Good Video about The Turtles! Thanks for All the info too!! You Sure know You're Stuff!!! :-) Have a FAB Day!  :-D
