    Why do you keep a coming around
    Playing with my heart?
    Why don't you get out of my life
    And let me make a new start?


    Original artist please.

    I know the artist(s), but can't remember the title....

    The original is the best.

    Edit: Just for Blades ... my mother had this album and used to play it every Saturday while cleaning the house (along with Nancy Sinatra and Elvis -- they mopped).

    That would be the lyrics of the bridge in The Supremes' "You keep me hangin' on". I love these chicks! :D This is the kind of 60s (along with the 70s) that really get me enthusiastic. You know, Otis Redding, Bill Withers, The Temptations and far too many more.

    Mmmh. Haven't really thought of what to post until now. I think I'll just post what's coming out of my speakers now. (People who know my musical interest can expect exactly that)

    Ain't I clean, bad machine.
    Super cool, super mean.

    Mmh... Usually it takes a member of the BoM about 38 minutes to come up with a guess. It's been 38 hours now, so reason is telling me that a hint might be appreciated. :D

    The singer, with an intentional high and slightly soft voice, became paralysed from the neck down after a set of lighting equipment fell on him. He also suffered from diabetes and had one of his legs amputated. He didn't live long after the amputation.
    The song is from a blacksploitation movie/album. And no, I don't mean Shaft. (That singer doesn't have a high voice at all)

    I guess so. I don't know about the others, but I have no clue and need a hint.

    Is the answer "Sonic Youth", Ragusa? ;)

    No, that's not fair, either Ragusa should do another one or he should open the floor, IIRC it's his pick after a stumper.

    Edit: Oh, looks like today I'm holding the idiot ball, the song title is still unknown. Sadly, I don't listen to that kind of music, so no help from LKD.

    Ok, the song was "Quest For The Cup", by Sonic Youth.

    Actually, ever since I heard them first I liked them. They really strike a chord with me. Great band.

    Now something else:

    Day after day
    I will work, and I will play
    But the day, after today
    I will stop, and I will start

    OK, it was "Add It Up", by the Pixies.

    I fear my contributions unduly slow down this thread :D I yield my time.

    Blue-blooded men, they fell from grace,
    Piranhas eating their own,
    They sacrificed at the altar of lies,
    So fate took its course [...]

    (The bit I omitted would have given away the song's name.)

    :D I thought it to be very refreshing, actually. :)
    Btw: I googled that song. I can only find Add it up by Violent Femmes (And that Gucci Mane guy, but the lyrics don't correspond :p). Can't find any info on it being a cover either. Did you make a mistake there or was my search that crappy?

    Oh yes, it WAS the Violent Femmes. Sort of embarassing I'd write something so obviously silly like that. When I wrote that my morning coffee had not yet taken effect (just look at the time).

    Highly recommended band:
