1980's

When I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot
I made the teacher wanna dance

I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day

I really don't know who sings this, but radio station I listened to when I was a kid used to play this every Friday at 4 pm.

reply

I believe that's none other than Todd Rundgren, who had a few hits back in the 70s ("I Saw The Light," "Hello, It's Me"...what a great song that is, et.al.). I think the title is "Bang The Drum"

PS: "Hello, It's Me" is probably my favorite song of his, but he also came out with a song in the early 90s (if I remember correctly) called "The Want Of A Nail" that I loved.

reply

Cool! Thanks for that info. You are like a music encyclopedia!

reply

Thank you...you are too kind! Music is a big passion of mine and I love music trivia...I find it so fascinating!

I wish I had your music knowledge of 80s and 90s alternative....bands like Depeche Mode, The Smiths, etc. You have a lot of knowledge about those bands...I wish I were better at getting your lyrics here! 😃 A lot of the lyrics you post sound familiar, but I just can't place them. I really admire people who can sing and have musical ability/knowledge.

incorrect.

reply

Ugh! I thought this one may not have been right...I'll have to ponder this one some more. Hopefully, someone can guess this and put me out of my misery.

reply

Yeah, we all need someone we can dream on
And if you want it, baby, well you can dream on me

"Don't Think Twice (It's All Right)" - written and performed by Bob Dylan, but my favorite version is by Mike Ness (lead singer for Social Distortion) in the late 90s.

I don't really hate you

We were made for each other, me and you

Family Snapshot - Peter Gabriel.

You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you

Hopelessly devoted to you - Olivia Newton John

Suddenly came the dawn From the night
Suddenly, I was born Into light
How can it be real?

i feel the warmth of her hand in mine

I was going through some of the older unanswered ones this morning and this one just dawned on me...I can't believe I didn't get it first time around. I had just asked Alexa to play this song not too long ago! 😃

Great song..."Laughter In The Rain" by Neil Sedaka.

reply

yes

..............in the summer of his 22nd year

reply

Are you sure you don't mean 27th year on this one? 😃 I'm thinking that it's supposed to be "Rocky Mountain High" by the late, great John Denver...but that was "27th year" instead of "22nd year."

If it's supposed to be "22nd year," then carry on...my apologies! 😃

reply

you are correct. it is 27th.
