Ding! You're Free To Move About The Web.
I'm not a big fan of memes, but I have to admit some of them can be fun and interesting. I don't know if this idea is original or not, but I thought I'd try to create a meme of my own. The idea was to find some images, post them, and then assign a song title(s) that best describe them. I tried to choose funny pictures, a little out of character for me don't you think?
Drive My Car - Beatles
These Eyes - Guess Who
Hot Rod Lincoln - Commander Cody & the Lost Planet Airmen
Every Breath You Take - Police
The first thing that popped up, well the first thing that popped into my mind with this one was:
Sugar, Sugar - the Archies
(You are my candy girl, and you got me wanting you.)
9 To 5 - Dolly Parton
(Any Dolly Parton song works.)
Whole Lot of Shakin' - Jerry Lee lewis
(Nuff said?)
Red Rubber Ball - the Cyrcle
Cross dressing reminds me of one song. So this one had to be:
Lola - the Kinks
(Then again, this one works too.)
The Lumberjack Song - Monty Python
(What reference to snakes would be complete without Jim Morrison?)
Crawlin' King Sn
ake - the DoorsThe first thought here is rather obvious:
Mona Lisa - Nat King Cole
(I think another one will work here too:)
One Toke Over The Line - Brewer and Shipley
Smile A Little Smile - The Flying Machine
(Smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie,
Rosemarie.)Lastly, this lovely lady conjures up:
Little Old Lady From Pasadena - Beach Boys
(How about a rather obscure one from an equally obscure group?)
Hey Grandma - Moby Grape
(Maybe I can sneak I can sneak in another?)
Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles
Well, there is an attempt at this idea using 5 images. Maybe some of you Meme Masters out there can take this idea and run with it?
Maybe you can come up with some better songs for the pics I chose. Come on, you know you want to take up the challenge.

Your choices were great.
I've got one for each picture:
#1 - I only have eyes for you (Art Garfunkle ... don't remember who did the original)
#2 - Pour Some Sugar On Me (Def Leppard) or CandyMan (James Taylor).
#3 - Any song from the movie The Crying Game, or Dude Look Like A Lady (Aerosmith) (hard to top L-O-L-A!)
#4 - Smoke gets in your eyes (The Platters)
#5 - Grandma Got Runover By a Reindeer ...
That's all I got! Brilliant idea for a post, Mike.
That is an excellent meme game. If I knew the names to songs.. or who sang them I'd participate. I'm a total music nerd.. I know nothing but I sure do try to sing along. Most people remind me when I do that to never quit my day job. :) thanks for visiting me via ivy.
String - Excellent choices yourself. "I Only Have Eyes For You" was originally done by The Flamingos - way back in 1959. It has staaying power and is a classic "first dance" song at many weddings.
Da Gal - All you need is titles. Who did them really isn't important unless the name is the tie-in with the picture. (I used Dolly Parton and Police.)
Good pics and idea Mike, but I'm not breakin' my no memes rule!!
I figured you'd know who sang it. You are encyclopedic in that period of music, for sure.
