A few weeks back, I think Generik commented that he was only good at these weekly guess-the-lyrics things when it’s the opening line that’s quoted. Let’s put that to the test:
- “Lonesome Town” by Ricky Nelson, guessed by Kim
There’s a place where lovers go to cry their troubles away - “Don’t Bring Me Down” by Electric Light Orchestra, guessed by Betty
You got me runnin’ goin’ out of my mind - “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (orig. Tony Bennett), guessed by Kim
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay - “Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor (On the Bedpost Overnight)?” by Lonnie Donegan, guessed by Kim
Oh-me, oh-my, oh-you, whatever shall I do? - “Fortunate Son” by Creedence Clearwater Revival, guessed by Glen
Some folks are born made to wave the flag - “Iris” by Goo Goo Dolls, guessed by Glen
And I’d give up forever to touch you - “Walking With a Ghost” by Tegan and Sara
No matter which way you go - “A Brand New Song” by Brother Machine
And it ain’t so bad no more and - “Puddle of Grace” by Amy Jo Johnson
Have you seen yourself today? - “Alien Vacation” by Moon Boot Lover
Travelin’ from worlds so far away, just silver ships in the night
Same as always: guess the lyric, win no prize. Here’s what happened last week, with all the answers.
Good luck — to Generik and the rest of you!
