735.0. "Name That Tune!" by MTCLAY::DOUGLAS () Thu Oct 12 1995 15:06

    I need your help out there. I am trying to recall a song
    that was written about a year ago.
    
    I cannot remember the singer's name or the title of the song!
    I can only remember bits and pieces of the lyrics. If someone
    can tell me the singer/song I would appreciate it. This is
    somewhat of a nursery song. It is a song about Whinnie the Poo.
    
    I think it was sung by Kenny Loggins  ???
    
    So here goes: Name That Tune.....
    
    Back to the days of Christopher Robin....
    Got to get back to the house....
    Count all the bees in the hive....
    
    
    thanks, tina

	> "The House at Pooh Corner", on the first Loggins and Messina > album "Sittin In" And I'm pretty sure that Kenny Loggins wrote it, as well. -Hal

	Anyone know the story about that album? The cover says "Kenny Loggins, with Jim Messina Sittin' In". Didn't Messina produce it? I wonder if it was really a Loggins solo album but Messina did so much that they called it "Sittin' In". Btw, Anne Murray had a hit with her cover of Pooh. Tom

I wonder if it was really a > Loggins solo album but Messina did so much that they > called it "Sittin' In". Yes, that's pretty much what happened. If I'm not mistaken, that's similar to how Messina ended up in Buffalo Springfield after their original bass player was deported back to Canada. > Btw, Anne Murray had a hit with her cover of Pooh. Never heard that one, are you sure you're not thinking of "Danny's Song"? -Hal

735.7	I hope they get brighter...	HDLITE::COTE		`Tue Oct 17 1995 17:35`	21
	Well since we are on name that tune... I teach a drum corps and I am interested in a song, not sure if its a remake or the original. But it is starting to be played alot.. Start out like this... "Ohhh Ohhh child, things are going to get easier" "Ohhh Ohhh child, things will get brighter" Consider it to your advantage that I am writting it and not really singing it. 8*) Thanks Rick Cote
735.8		TEPTAE::WESTERVELT		`Tue Oct 17 1995 17:46`	11

735.12		HELIX::CLARK		`Wed Oct 18 1995 16:06`	7
	> put your hand in mine > we're gonna leave our troubles behind This is also a line from the Temptations classic, "Don't Look Back", circa '65 or so. (Covered by Jagger/Tosh, and others.) Every single line from the song is great, actually. Forget which Motown songwriter(s) actually wrote it... Jay
735.13		TEPTAE::WESTERVELT		`Wed Oct 18 1995 17:51`	5
	Thanks Jay! I betcha that's the one I heard on the radio that prompted me to post my inquiry. Tom

	P.S. on Don't Look Back I rediscovered this song on the 5-CD set of remastered Temps stuff. (Incidentally, 2-CD subsets of all the recent Motown 5-CD boxes -- Smokey, Temps, Marvin Gaye, Supremes -- are coming out now... For the less than rabid.) Maybe every line of "Don't Look Back" isn't great, but the vocal makes it seem that way -- one of those unbelievable R&B gems. (Like Hank Ballard's "Tore Up", 5 Royales "Women About to Make Me Go Crazy", so many Motown and Stax songs.) - Jay If it's love that you're running from... There's no hiding place. <Can't run, you can't hide, you can't run...> You have problems and <mumble mumble> problems... you just have to face. <Can't run etc.> And if you'll just put your hand in mine, We're gonna leave all our troubles behind... Keep on walking, don't look back... (repeat) <<mumble> will find you, there to remind you...> If your first lover broke your heart, There's something that can be done... Don't end your faith in love Because of what he's done... etc. Love can be such a beautiful thing Though your first love let you down... <mumble mumble... <mumble> the second time around... etc.

	ooh ooh child was done in the 70's by The Five Stairsteps. I think it has just been recently re-done by a better known group which I can't think of, it's a funkier version.
735.16	Thanks	HDLITE::COTE		`Thu Oct 19 1995 14:24`	9
	Thanks for the answers, The latest version is what I am looking for... Thanks Rick
