Last week proved unexpectedly difficult for everyone. Hopefully you’ll all fare much better this week:
- “The Legionnaire’s Lament” by the Decemberists
I am on reprieve, lacking my joie de vivre - “Does Anyone Else in This Room Want to Marry His or Her Own Grandmother?” by Atom and His Package
We’ll move you and your samples down to Philadelphia - “I Need a Lover” by Pat Benatar (orig. Johnny Cougar), guessed Clayton
Electricity runs through the video - “Losing My Religion” by Nina Persson (orig. R.E.M.), guessed by Eric B
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool - “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” by Gordon Lightfoot, guessed by Eric B
Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the words turn the minutes to hours - “Dignity” by Bob Dylan, guessed by Eric B
Somebody got murdered on New Year’s Eve - “The Littlest Birds” by the Be Good Tanyas
But I’m not too blue to fly - “JCB Song” by Nizlopi
And I wanna transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex - “Could’ve Gone Mad” by Poe, guessed by Eric B
If I decided to make you my religion, I think God would be kind - “Leave” by Glen Hansard
And the truth has a habit of falling out of your mouth
As always, guess the lyric, win no prize! I think some of these have even appeared here before — but no cheating! Good luck!
#4 – REM, “Losing My Religion”
#5 – Gordon Lightfoot, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”

Hmmm…. A lot of God on your playlist this week…
So there is. Do you think my iPod is trying to tell me something?
