Post a song lyric from an obscure rock & roll band and see if anyone knows the band and/or the song w/o using Google [View all]

Last edited Sat Feb 17, 2024, 04:03 PM - Edit history (4)

(By obscure, I mean a relatively little-known band, either still playing & recording, or played & recorded at least one album in the past)

"In their search, the whole wide world they roam, they roam.
Is there no place, for a girl and her dog?"

"Down by the train tracks you can hear a mournful sound
The chattering of teeth is heard for miles around, around"

(Both are lyrics from the same song)
