Wow I honestly have/had no idea. Even after I googled it, didn't ring a bell. LOL
Maybe a different song?
It was "Que Onda Guero?" by Beck. Awesome song!

Write the change you want to see in the world!
Writing exposition is like putting red pepper flakes on your pizza - the occasional burst adds depth and flavor, too much in a lump can burn the reader out.

Next line:
"...Well I know but that's no way to go..."
"...You can't resist the louder pull..."
Any takers?
I'd have to cheat, and I'm trying to be good.
(I did know the earlier lyrics post was from a Beck song, but I didn't know the title.)
"...and, having writ; Moves on..."

Loud Love - Soundgarden
Let's try something a bit easier:
"...The wolf is hungry, He runs the show
He's licking his lips, He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight, For love at first sting..."
Apparently I am recycling through my iTunes and it's missing songs, so I had to kick it in the arse to get a new schmear of tunes in my head. That's like 3 times apparently I've referenced Rock You Like A Hurricane by the Scorpions
Let's go with something completely different:
"...Heaven opens up a door where angels fear to tread..."
*****
As an aside, between weeding, trimming brush, mowing the lawn, and all the other weekend tasks, I compiled a list of all the songs we've referenced thus far in this thread. It makes for a great set list for a weekend of work!

I thought I knew something of the above lyrics, but upon verifying it… Nope, I was wrong. The interesting thing is this: On the way back from going for a run on the bridge this morning, “Shakedown” was playing on the radio and the DJ gave a factlet of it being on the soundtrack of Beverly Hills Cop II.

I don't know where the reference to a Bob Seger song comes from in your post. LOL
You're the music equivalent of a 'foodie'... so you're a 'songie'!

Heh I am something of a music buff... Maybe that's why I can remember song lyrics so easily but couldn't tell you what I had for breakfast today! lol
I got the singer (probably with some help from MS Wiggins' post). Now for the song . . . *argh!* I can't get the next lines in my mind!

Who's Bob Segar? Did he steal it from Bob Seger? LOL
Yup, you got it, your turn for lyrics
I tried three times to spell his name. Failed.
Next song (going waaaaaay back):
The record hops
And all the happy times we had
The soda shop
The walks to school now make me sad, oh
