469.0. "What's my 1st line?" by BAHTAT::STURROCK (Times tide will smother me...) Wed Aug 09 1989 17:56

    
    Hows about this...maybe, maybe not...
    
    Name a record and band and someone out there has to come up with
    it's 1st line.
    
    So if I said... Everyday is like Sunday by Morrissey....
    The answer would be... 'Trudging slowly over wet sand'
    
    Same rules apply as for normal 1st liners...if this is a bad idea
    forget it.
    
    Here goes:
    
    Dominion - Sisters of Mercy

469.6Sixteen, Clumsy and Shy......AYOV16::LGRAYMon Aug 14 1989 20:289
    
    Actually you were, but watch out in future!!!!!! Just 'cause you're
    taking about "alternative" music does not automatically mean there are
    no female fans.
    And by the way I ain't meaning to start a debate only stating a point.

469.15FYC -funny how love isYUPPY::WILDERDThe Wild ThingTue Aug 15 1989 21:149
    Me again. Sorry this track is an album track so it may not be all
    that well known.  It's on the 1st album
      The thing to do is somehow listen to the track, which is a good
    way of hearing new music.!
      I must confess , although a Mode fan I had to go home and dig
    out the album the track was on for yours Linda!
      If you get bored I'll tell you.
    
    David  hum hum.,hummmhumhummdehum.
469.16Will nature make a man of me yet?BAHTAT::STURROCKTimes tide will smother me...Tue Aug 15 1989 21:5311
    AHa one problem...I did say: Same rules apply as for normal first
    liners.
    
    See note 22.447 for an explanation as to what I meant...specially
    when it's harder to drop hints in this topic.
    
    A sides of singles that made the top 40 please!
    
    See if anyone can get the FYC one first tho' (s'only fair)

    a clue as I can give you.
    
    
    
    Michael
