The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot (It was all I could come up with).

Name a song about moonshine.

Actually, that was the song I was thinking of, SMG.

-- and for yours:
Moonshine (Friend of Mine) - John Kay
(also was thinking of Thunder Road by Robert Mitchum)

Name a song about berries.

[Dawn]

Strawberries Mean Love - Strawberry Alarm Clock

Name a song that mentions a type of candy in the title.

[Laura--I wuv u all :)]

"The Big Rock Candy Mountain"-an old song, I don't know who recorded it, but I had it on some record when I was a kid

Name a song where the lyrics aren't about dancing, but there's a specific line dance that people do to it.

I LOVE The Big Rock Candy Mountain!!! I specifically remember it being sung by Burl Ives, but it came out in the 1920's originally. Great Tune!!


Strokin' by Clarence Carter.

Name a song about a a legendary creature.

The Unicorn - The Irish Rovers

Name a song that, if released today, would have a politically incorrect title.

I've never heard this song all the way through, but Bobby Goldsboro had one in the '60s called "Me Japanese Boy, I Love You". IIRC from what I've read, Burt Bacharach wrote it. I listened to part of it on amazon. com and it actually sounds like it might be a pretty good song--a lot better than its title, that's for sure!

Name a song with "na na na" vocals in it. (There are several.)

Na Na Na, Hey Hey, Kiss Him Good-bye-Steam

Relating back to Ed's question, name a song brave enough to use the "N" word in the lyrics.

[Laura--I wuv u all :)]

"Don't Call Me N-----, W-----"-Sly & the Family Stone

(I'm not sure if the "W" word would be banned by this board, but I'm not taking any chances...)

I've got a good one! This is about albums:

Name an album by a female artist whose picture does NOT appear on the album's front cover.

(most of 'em do appear on the covers of most of their albums--the better to sell 'em to guys, I guess! --but now and then you'll find one in which the woman is not pictured on the cover)

Emmylou Harris ~ Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town

Name an album that uses famous artwork on the album cover.

[Laura--I wuv u all :)]

Do you mean it was famous artwork even BEFORE it was an album cover--or that it was an album cover that became famous?

I _thought_ some of my classical CD's _might_ qualify--some of them have (apparently) old paintings on them. But I just looked at the credits, and the artists who did these paintings are people I've never heard of, so I guess they're not really "famous" artwork. Neat paintings, though...

I am going to interpret the question literally as meaning "famous artwork" as opposed to artwork by a famous artist. Thus" the artwork on the Beatles' "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club" band has certainly become famous. -- So that's my answer.

Name a song that has the sound of a siren in it.

[Laura--I wuv u all :)]

"Shootout at the Fantasy Factory"-Traffic

(the siren threw me for a loop the first time I heard it while driving )

Name an artist (you don't have to name any of their songs) that has the same first and last initials you do. (Leslie Uggams is the only person I can think of with mine!)

[kathyb]

I thought and thought about this, and for the longest time all I could come up with was Kix Brooks of Brooks and Dunn. I didn't like that, though, so after thinking some more, I finally thought of...Kate Bush! Yay!

Name a song that mentions a fruit or vegetable in the title.

[Laura--I wuv u all :)]

"Dance of the Cucumber" from "VeggieTales"

(this is one of their "Silly Songs with Larry", and it's one of my favorites)

Name a song in which the title is both spoken and sung in the same lyric.

[H2IZCOOL]

Still - The Commodores. The title is spoken right at the end of the song, after being sung earlier.

(I also thought of Yellow Submarine)

Name a song about a house.

BTW, without trying to be picky, I've noticed we've had questions recently in this thread about naming an album and naming an artist. This thread is called "Name a Song That ....", and I think the game should reflect that.

On the other hand, I think that "Name an Album that..." and "Name an Artist that ..." are great ideas for two new games!
