"Killing Me Softly"

Winner! Winner! Softly killing a chicken for dinner!

Originally sung by Lori Lieberman (who was inspired by seeing Don McLean sing "Empty Chairs"), "Killing Me Softly" would become a #1 hit for Roberta Flack in '73 and hit #1 again (in the UK) for the Fugees in '96. The way the chips fell sucks for Lori, but I do prefer her version.

Math problem in play....

Four points are chosen at random on the surface of a sphere. What is the probability that the center of the sphere lies inside the tetrahedron whose vertices are at the four points? (It is understood that each point is independently chosen relative to a uniform distribution on the sphere.)

It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

Ruh-roh, time to pop in a new mix tape!

I didn't even realize it when I answered Dog Hand's query above, but Gialmere's song engaged my memory. We've seen these two before. Oddly enough, I referenced them both in a single post!

Funny how I had an idea that it was The Coasters back then, but had no clue today!

'Cause all you women is low down gamblers

Baby, got no flavor, fever in the funk house now

either an expanded, or a new, version of the Mickey Mouse Club theme

I am only familiar with the first two (1950s and 1970s), and don't remember those lyrics.

I was channel surfing and stumbled upon one of the original Godzilla movies a few weeks back and started to sing some of the lyrics. The wife and kid looked at me like I had 3 heads, so I played the song for them!

The Man in Black's first signature song is so popular it's hard to pick out any line that won't be instantly recognized. The 1968 version recorded live at Folsom is considered definitive.

The theme to The Sopranos...but it wasn't written for the show.

Back when it existed, Entertainment Weekly Radio had a single-elimination tournament to find the best TV theme song, but it was limited to songs written specifically for the show, and the Sopranos theme was disqualified because of it.

Well, I guess I stumped the board.

These lines are from "El Paso City", by the late, great Marty Robbins. What's funny about the line "I don't recall who sang the song" is that the "story" he references is "El Paso", which he himself wrote and sang. Perhaps he was just being modest ;-)

Well I ain't afraid of dying it's the thought of being dead

The classic song that made the highway a legend, "Route 66" has been recorded by a diverse group of artists ranging from the Rolling Stones' debut album to the soundtrack for the Pixar film "Cars". The original recording, however, was the 1946 version by Nat King Cole.

The Chantays were the only rock band to ever appear on The Lawrence Welk Show. They performed their classic surfer instrumental hit. Name that song!

Pipeline! There was that, Wipe Out, and Miserlou, that I remember. (The Surfaris, Dick Dale.)

Winner! Winner! Surf and turf for dinner!

Very good! Being essentially a one-hit wonder band, the question is really if you've ever heard of The Chantays. If you have, then "Pipeline" will be the only song that comes to mind. Here is the band's wunnerful wunnerful 1963 performance...

...or you might prefer a more traditional setting...

And now, in the category Vegas Connection, name that song...

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in the fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

Have you tried 22 tonight? I said 22.

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2. IIRC, the video was shot on Fremont St., thus the Vegas connection.

Winner! Winner! Joeman found a chicken for dinner!!

That is indeed "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" from U2's monster hit album The Joshua Tree. And yes, the connection was the music video filmed in Glitter Gulch before Fremont St became an "experience"...

And now, in the category TV Themes, name that song...

I'm the instrumental theme from a 70's TV show that charted for two weeks as a top10 song. I feature the Minimoog synthesizer and am one of the first hit songs to use the (then new) instrument. Who am I?

WAG.

Welcome Back? I have no idea if it�s right, just that I remember hearing it on the radio, and it�s a 70s TV show.

Edit: Wrong, not an instrumental.

Ooh sorry. A good guess though since the "Theme from SWAT" actually reached #1 on the Billboard charts. It did not, however, feature a synthesizer.

I think this is the only song lyric with a word that rhymes with purple ?

They say roses are red and violets are purple
And sugar's sweet and so is maple syrple
