Song name?

[IDLEchild]

This song is played at the end of Simpsons episode; The one where Lisa overloads Springfield's power grid causing a blackout so she can see the meteor shower.

The lyrics, whatever little you can hear, went like this

Stary stary night, paint your pallate blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day...... etc etc" The song is sung in a soft voice over slow, gentle acoustic guitar. Its a beautiful song.

It sounds like Simon and Garfunkel but only one voice is singing it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Vincent was the song that had people wondering the sexual orientation of Don Mclean...till they figured out it was about VanGogh...

here's a visual aid for anyone that happens to be listening to the song

 

[Squiggy]

I'm listening to 'Sit on my face and tell me you love me' by Monty Python. Got any visual aids for that one?

I can only deliver that image in person.... www.travelocity.com

But then you'll want me to sing it myself...

 

[Ms Ann Thrope]

not sure anyone would hear the song over the moaning...

on the other hand, I've been told that there are adult images available on the internet.... and some of them even move, and have sound, and everything!

of course, I wouldn't know anything about that sort of thing
