COINTEST: Guess the Name of the Newest Rock n Roll GeoDog

[+LadyBee4T]

For awhile now I have been looking for a playmate for Riley my English Springer Spaniel. Molly my sheltie herds Riley and doesn’t like the rough and tumble running play that Riley seems to want to do. A volunteer at a local shelter told me there was a nice English Springer Spaniel there so I went to check the dog out. The next day she was mine. She came home to her furever home 10 days ago. This petite little gal is a registered AKC purebred English Springer Spaniel and is 3 ½ years old.

 

I had a lot of fun in Riley’s cointest and I wanted to do one again to help me name her but I ran into some problems with the adoption and didn’t want to post her picture. Meanwhile I got her microchipped and had to have a name for her then. The problems haven’t completely resolved yet but I think I can safely run this cointest. (For those of you who weren’t here or don’t remember Riley’s cointest here is the link. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...95&hl=riley )

 

How do you win this cointest? Well I want you to guess what I named her! Most of my dogs have been named after classic rock and roll songs or LPs. (To me classic means late 50s, 60s and 70s.)

For example here are the names of some of my dogs and the format I would like to see the answers in:

 

My Sweet “Lady”---John Denver

Sgt “Pepper”---Beatles

“Abbey” Road---Beatles

“Rocky” Raccoon---Beatles

Good Golly Miss "Molly"---Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels

 

There are always rules so here they are

 

1. List the song with the call name in parentheses and after that who it was performed by. If you want to name her after a band member or performer you can list that too. If more than one performer did the song, name the one that you liked the best.

 

2. If you want to list some of the lyrics so I can sing while watching this cointest that is great too but not required. In fact the neighbors may not like my singing and the dog could howl!!!

 

3. Limit yourself to one post every half hour. Only 1 name guess per post. This gives time for a lot of people to try to guess.

 

4. As usual no editing of posts.

 

5. No whining—that is only for the dog to do.

 

What will you win? We live in Michigan so the winner will have their choice of a 2006 Michigan spring robin (nontrackable), a 2006 Michigan fall oak leaves (nontrackable) or a 2007 Michigan summer (trackable).

 

 

 

To get you in the right frame of mind to think of names here’s a great song by the Doors

 

Hello, I love you

Wont you tell me your name?

 

She holds her head so high

Like a statue in the sky

Her fur is soft and her legs are long

When she moves my brain screams out this song

 

Hello, I love you

Wont you tell me your name…….

 

Hello I love you

Wont you tell me your name……..

Ok are you ready?

Set

Go!!!

Good for you, adopting a shelter dog. She is beautiful! There are so many wonderful dogs in shelters, just waiting for folks to open their hearts. Moxie is a shelter dog too. They really are the best!

 

Ok, here's my first guess.

 

"Lucy" in the Sky with Diamonds - The Beatles

Name the person who sang it the best in your mind if more than one person sang it. I will add that to the rules.

SONG: Runaround Sue! (Sue as name or you can use the complete title!!! ) - Dion & the Belmonts

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq6_4qKnOJA

 

 

and the lyrics....

 

 

Here's my story, its sad but true

It's about a girl that I once knew

She took my love then ran around

With every single guy in town

 

Ah, I should have known it from the very start

This girl will leave me with a broken heart

Now listen people what I'm telling you

A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

 

I miss her lips and the smile on her face

The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace

So if you don't wanna cry like I do

A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

 

Ah, she likes to travel around

She'll love you but she'll put you down

Now people let me put you wise

Sue goes out with other guys

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows

I fell in love and my love still grows

Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say

Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

 

She likes to travel around

She'll love you but she'll put you down

Now people let me put you wise

Sue goes out with other guys

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows

I fell in love and my love still grows

Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say

Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

[+murphyrulez]

One of my favorites:

 

"Roxanne" - The Police

[Maine Family]

"Amanda" Boston

Babe, tomorrow's so far away

There's somethin' I just have to say

I don't think I could hide

What I'm feelin' inside

Another day

Knowin' I love you

 

And I -- I'm gettin' too close again

I don't wanna see it end

If I tell you tonight

Will you turn out the light

And walk away

Knowin' I love you?

 

CHORUS:

I'm gonna take you by surprise

And make you realize

Amanda

I'm gonna tell you right away

I can't wait another day

Amanda

I'm gonna say it like a man

And make you understand

Amanda

I love you

 

And, I feel like today's the day

I'm lookin' for the words to say

Do you wanna be free

Are you ready for me

To feel this way?

I don't wanna lose ya

 

So it may be too soon I know

The feelin' takes so long to grow

If I tell you today

Will you turn me away

And let me go?

I don't wanna lose you

 

CHORUS

 

You and I -- I know that we can't wait

And I swear -- I swear it's not a lie girl

Tomorrow may be too late

You -- you and I girl -- we can share a life together

It's now or never

And tomorrow may be too late

 

And, feelin' the way I do

I don't wanna wait my whole life through

To say I'm in love with you

Congrats Bev! She is absolutely adorable

 

Yes she is a beautiful dog and I am lucky to have her.

 

She was found running and dropped off at the shelter. I'm sure she would have been reunited with her original owner if she only had some type of ID on her--A tag, microchip or tattoo.

Eric had a son with another woman while married to Patty and he was in and out of rehab. She finally kicked him out but George was no longer available. He had married Olivia.
