HaHaHa! You guys crack me up. Now for the answer --- RUSH is correct! The lyric is from one of my fave hard rock recordings of all time, "Tom Sawyer." Amazing that possibly the most proficient rock drummer alive, Neil Peart, write the lyrics for the band and doesn't sing a note!

What does Dave win --- Don Pardo?

Ern Eubanks 8-) :)

Billy has the artist, and the primary writer has been on the charts more times than I can remember. Come on, you can do it.

I can feel the hand, of a stranger,
And it's tightening, around my throat.

This was a hit during a good time in my life.

Great Song....

Thought I would jump in before Wayne on this one, since he used to hang out with the guy.

How about this one?

I can hear the bullfrog calling me
I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree

And...we have a winner. Congratz Jen. Check with Ern for your prize ;)

I met Don Brewer(Drums) & Terry Knight(Producer)

Made my day.

Very Cool! Can I get what's behind door number three?

I edited my post with a new lyric question the same time you posted this one in case you missed it.
