[Official] What song am I thinking of? [DONE]

In case I'm right, can someone tutor me on how to paste an image I find on google?

I think hop's cryptic reply indicated that you were right...

damn those koreans.
nice one.

In Firefox I use a two-step procedure to post pics.

First, just to be clear, it is possible to do it in one step, but leads to more errors. The one-step method is to right click on an image, select "Copy Image Location", and then come to your post and CTRL-V the image inside an Img and /Img bracket. The only trouble is that a lot of images you find have problems. Either they're encrypted or they're dynamically generated or they're in some weird proprietary format, all of which prevents them from posting properly.

To avoid those problems, I insert a preliminary step before the final step. First I right-click on the image and select "View Image". This isolates the image in its own tab. You can now look at the address bar for that tab, and the file name of the image should be clearly visible. The file name should end in .jpg or .png or .svg or .gif. If it doesn't end in one of those, it almost certainly will not display properly when you repost it. Don't even try, just go find something better. The SECOND step, assuming you have a good file, is to CTRL-C the file name from the address bar and CTRL-V it into your post (again, inside Img tags.) The forum editor has an Img button which creates the tags for you -- you just have to position your cursor inside the tags.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

Thanks Duk,

In Chrome, it's Copy Image Address.

I swear I did all that last night and couldn't get it to work. But, it worked like a charm this morning. Huh...

Friends in Low Places - Garth Brooks

Friends in Low Places - Garth Brooks

Damn, I suspect you're right.

Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in

And by Cheesy, I was referring to Ed Sheeran, NOT the Immortal Garth Brooks!

Darn it...I actually knew that one! Too fast for me MudPuppy.

Funny thing about Ed Sheeran. I saw him a couple months ago on Saturday Night Live and thought, "a bit sappy but overall pretty talented" so I Googled him to see who he was (figuring this was one of SNL's attempts to support promising new talent). Found out that not only does he already have a whole bunch of records out, but he was actually the highest-paid artist of 2017. How the f*ck does someone become the highest-paid artist on the planet without me having heard of them before? Partly it's because I don't listen to girly stations, but still....

I have a teen age daughter and wind up listening to tons of stuff I would not normally pick.

I actually don't mind Ed Sheeran overall, I just hate the song MudPuppy picked.

I debated on whether to include the text "Black Tie Affair". I decided to make it easier to keep the game rolling. Maybe, I should have kept it more challenging.

Was challenging enough for me. I was thinking of Poco -- Puttin' On the Ritz, and also of ZZ Top -- Sharp Dressed Man, but I couldn't make the other 2 clues fit.

Song #5:

[MudPuppy]

Let me know if anyone is having issues with seeing the last image... I can see it fine from home but apparently the firewall at work is blocking just that one. I'll plan to post an additional clue later today/tonight if nobody gets it by then... but want to make sure you can see all of the initial clues.

EDIT: Just to be sure, I uploaded a version to tinypic & changed the url.

[Dukasaur]

Persistence pays off! You had me stumped for a long time, but I think I got it!

You're listening to White Man in Hammersmith Palais by the Clash!

Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and Leroy Smart
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator

Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae
With backing bands sound systems
And if they've got anything to say
There's many black ears here to listen

But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right
Charging from the bass knives to the treble
But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
Onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel

Dress back jump back, this is a bluebeat attack
'Cause it won't get you anywhere
Fooling with the guns
The British Army is waiting out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons

White youth, black youth
Better find another solution
Why not phone up Robin Hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution

Punk rockers in the UK
They won't notice anyway
They're all too busy fighting
For a good place under the lighting

The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned
They got Burton suits, ha, you think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money

All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway

I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf
Who looks so sick in the sun
I'm the white man in the Palais
Just lookin' for fun

I'm only
Looking for fun

I'm only
Looking for fun

[MudPuppy]

You're Correct... and you're up.

Saves me from posting a British Army pic.

[TX AG 90]

Holy Crap,

That's Robin Hood? I was guessing Cupid, LOL.

Bob Dylan -- "House Of The Risin' Sun"

There is a house down in New Orleans they call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl and me, oh God, I'm one

My mother was a tailor, she sewed these new blue jeans
My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord, down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time when he's satisfied is when he's on a drunk

He fills his glasses up to the brim and he'll pass the cards around
And the only pleasure he gets out of life is rambling from town to town

Oh tell my baby sister not to do what I have done
But shun that house in New Orleans they call the rising sun

Well with one foot on the platform and the other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain

I'm going back to New Orleans, my race is almost run
I'm going back to end my life down in the rising sun

There is a house in New Orleans they call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl and me, oh God, I'm one

The latter... I don't know any of these songs well... I only listen to Japanese music... I assume Googling is cool since it doesn't say otherwise in rules... it's still fun trying to figure out from the pics... but without searching for 'em, I'd largely be clueless.
