Subject: Looking for song titel and lyrics...
It's a song from around '70. Give and take a few years.
And it's someone saying/singing a lot of names of other singers.
Does anyone know the titel and the artist?
thanks

This could be a number of songs...since its around 1970, Ill take a guess and say "American pie" by Don Mclean....if this was later (like late 80s) Id say maybe "we didnt start the fire" by Billy Joel or "Its the end of the world as we know it" by REM....or actlly, in the 70s I got more: "Give peace a chance" by John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band....um....Ill try and think of some more

Actually, I HATE that tune, (although I like J.M.), it just happened to fit the description of what mmhansen was looking for. :)

It could be Hands Across The Water by Paul McCartney.
"Sister Susie (trumpet) Brother John (trumpet) Martin Luther (trumpet) Phil and Don (trumpet) Uncle Ernie (trumpet) Uncle Ian (trumpet) Open the door and let 'em in......yeah"
How about that?

My bad - you're right. But I think it's Halsey, not Hassey. ;)
