Name this old tune #4

Edited on Mon Apr-25-05 09:59 PM by Seabiscuit

G G E E D D B A

This one's too easy, folks. If you listened to "Whiter Shade Of Pale" (see Floogledy's original "Name this old tune" thread) you listened to this one too.

Sheeit, mon -

It's so easy you'll kick yourself if you don't get it in the next minute or so.

And no, it's not the organ riff in "My Little Runaway". :0)~

:party: :bounce: :headbang: :hippie: :toast:

1967 - the same year "Whiter Shade of Pale" was playing on the radio and on the jukebox.

I figured if anyone would get it you would, Floog.

After your "Whiter Shade of Pale" thread, that's the first song that popped in my mind because at the time I used to have breakfast every morning at an outdoor cafe in Paris and listened to those songs plus several Mama's and Papa's (John Phillips, et. al. - "Go Where You Wanna Go", "California Dreamin'" etc.) songs playing on the jukebox - the French seemed to love them.

9. Paris? 1967?

What the . . . ?

I'd like to have a beer with you. I think I was in 8th or 9th grade. I'm glad to read that you and the Parisians listened to that music at the time.

Do another one!

I was 21-22 at the time. And a student at the Sorbonne.

Man, I miss that cafe - in the Latin Quarter across the Seine from Notre Dame, sipping cafe au lait and eating a baquette, and listing to that MUSIC! What a way to wake up!

Sure I'll have a beer with you. Any preferences?

My all time faves are French Alsatian and Belgian beer (part of my Francophile/Gallomaniac heritage). :)
