[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I'm sure everyone will get the band in a heartbeat, but what's the song called?

From a battle I've come, to a battle I ride

I've got no idea of the song, but is this Manowar?

 

[Perun]

is this Manowar?

Of course it is.

I hide myself inside the shadows of shame

Black Sabbath - Megalomania

Nobody's gonna take my car, I'm gonna race it to the ground

 

[Mega]

Highway star.

Well I've been lookin' real hard
And I'm tryin' to find a job

Well I've been lookin' real hard

Ever since I was a young boy,

...I played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton, I musta played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him, never seen him fall
That deaf dumb and blind boy sure plays a mean pinball

The Who, Pinball Wizard


"Wanna tell you a story 'bout a woman I know"

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

That sounds familiar.

Forty-two, thirty-nine, fifty-six
You could say she's got it all!

That would be a certain Rosie. Whole lotta Rosie.

[Perun]

...I played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton, I musta played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him, in any amusement hall
That deaf dumb and blind boy sure plays a mean pinball

 

[Shadow]

Since it's becoming clear that nobody will get this one, I'll give it away.

Spoiler

It's "Cymbaline". I thought you people knew your early Floyd better than that

 

[LooseCannon]

I do not.

 

[Wästed The Great]

Well, if no one else is going:

Those crazy nights, I do remember in my youth...
