The ClubHouse: Archives: Need some help with Lyrics!!
Spygirl | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 08:33 pm     I just got a call from a friend who has been trying to think of a particular song for hours now. It is driving her nuts. This is what she remembers: It was a song in the 80s (maybe) that was about freedom sang by a man, woman, and a child. The snipets she can remember of the lyrics are: I want a world just like America, just like the USA Cause even though perfect it's not, it's the best thing this world's got. There were also some things about "Voice of Freedom" and "United we stand" and "voice of America" Any takers so this poor girl can sleep? |
Gail | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 09:10 pm     I'm usually pretty good at looking up stuff like this but I can't find it. |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 10:52 pm     There was music in the 80's? I think I must have missed the 80's. |

Spygirl | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 07:03 am     She can even sing part of the darn song...but still can't place it or find it. She said the man starts out singing first, then the woman, and finally the child. And the child also sings at the very end of the song, too. She said she thinks it came out about the same time as "we are the world". They sang both in choir. |
Mssilhouette | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 11:14 am     Maybe it was for Farm Aid |
Ladybug007 | Thursday, June 06, 2002 - 10:08 pm     I think it came out during the Gulf War. |
Spygirl | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 07:38 am     hmmm....why can't I find it anywhere on the Net? Strange. |
Bracken | Monday, June 10, 2002 - 04:07 pm     There is a website called sing365.com where you can get the lyrics to almost any song ever recorded. Unfortunately, you must have the artist name, album name, or song title. I just searched for song title -- Voice of America and Voice of Freedom and didn't find anything reflecting the partial lyrics you posted. Often you can extrapolate from the lyrics you know to find the title, and then, there are those song titles that have nothing to do with the song content. She might try different combinations of the lyrics that she knows and get lucky. Sorry, this is the best advice I have to offer. I, too, go nuts when I can't remember things like this, or author names, etc. Good luck. |
Seamonkey | Monday, June 10, 2002 - 04:44 pm     I also forget the 80s, er, the music, I mean and I'm nuts already, so I won't even go there to that site, that is.  |
