The Hereafter Lyric Game

Without You - Nillson but written and originally recorded by Badfinger

And now, the end is near

And now, the end is near

My Way - Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra
Good one clean!

I am continuing with the "double dead guys" theme:

They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely

Buck Owens and the Beatles

Comin' two ya, on a dusty road
Good lovin' I've got a truck load

Comin' two ya, on a dusty road
Good lovin' I've got a truck load

Soul Man - Sam and Dave and The Blues Brothers
Good one clean!

I will do another double dead guy song here but it is fine to open this thread back up to any single dead guys.
Where has the creator of this thread gone???


Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Told them how to do the bob and it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole

Rockin' Robin - Bobby Day and Michael Jackson

This song is predominantly based on two hits by deceased artists.

And we were trying different things, smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song

And we were trying different things, smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song

All Summer Long - Kid Rock

Great choice, clean!
With a nod to both Lynyrd Skynyrd and Warren Zevon

Here's a duet where both singers have since passed on:

I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me
And they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

Ain't Nothing But the Real Thing - Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

But the dawn is breakin' its early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's is blowin' his horn

But the dawn is breakin' its early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's is blowin' his horn

Leavin on a Jet Plane - Peter, Paul and Mary and John Denver

Very good choice, clean!

I am looking for two different artists here.
The one from 1968 will be obvious but the other one was from 1970 and the deceased member of the band was the brother of the lead singer.

You know that a man ain't supposed to cry, but these tears I can't hold inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see, 'cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself that you found someone else.

Heard It Through the Grapevine - Marvin Gaye and CCR, referring to Tom Fogerty

Taught me good Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well I grabbed that gold
And I left his dead ass by the side of the road 

Taught me good Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well I grabbed that gold
And I left his dead ass by the side of the road

Me and My Uncle
Looks like at least a triple because I found recordings by John Phillips, John Denver and the Grateful Dead

Well done, clean!

This one is most well known by the greatest voice in the history of music but was covered in 1999 by a guy who sang about a city that no one felt sorry for.

I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say hello
Oh, you wished me well, you couldn't tel

I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say hello
Oh, you wished me well, you couldn't tell

CRYING - ROY ORBISON   would be the voice who wrote and originally recorded this song.  It was also recorded by GENE PITNEY in 1999 on GENE PITNEY SINGS GREAT BALLADS.  Pitney passed on April 5, 2006.

NEXT LYRICS: This song may have been used, but there's an interesting story that goes with it. It was originally written by WILLIE DIXON and released as a single in 1961 by CHESS RECORDS by this famous bluesman. Now he was a favorite of the ROLLING STONES, who I'm a favorite of and I saw Bill Wyman tell a story that is verified by this passage from AMG.com.

At the height of the British Invasion, the Stones came to America in 1965 for an appearance on ABC-TV's rock music show, Shindig. Their main stipulation for appearing on the program was that _____________would be their special guest. With the Stones sitting worshipfully at his feet,________ performed a storming version of "How Many More Years," being seen on his network-TV debut by an audience of a few million.

The men don't know
But the little girls understand
All right, yeah
You men eat your dinner
Eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken
Than any man ever seen, yeah, yeah

The men don't know
But the little girls understand
All right, yeah
You men eat your dinner
Eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken
Than any man ever seen, yeah, yeah

Back Door Man - Howlin Wolf and The Doors

Great find, Fans!
And no, it has not been used before!

this one has been recorded by a few dead guys.
Just 2 is enough for the answer.

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh,
whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner

Mack the Knife - Boby Darin and Frank Sinatra


Looking for lead singer and the background singer

If you ever change your mind
