Well, last week’s entry was only what I’d call a very modest success. Here are all ten songs, those guessed and un-guessed:
Let’s try this again. The rules are simple: below are 10 random lyrics. Guess the song and artist in the comments if you know them. Don’t cheat by looking them up.
“Well, I don’t want no Abba Zabba, don’t want no Almond Joy”
“Chocolate Jesus” by Tom Waits, guessed by Glen- “You gotta be like Bush and take preemptive strikes”
“Dreamer” by K’naan - “He laughed at accidental sirens that broke the evening gloom”
“Panic in Detroit” by David Bowie - “Hail to your vast hegemony”
“My Beautiful Enemy” by Dar Williams - “If the sky was synthesized you’d probably know”
“Brian Eno” by MGMT - “Whistle past the graveyard, even the dead deserve a song”
“Back to You” by Twin Forks “Our love got fractured in the echo and sway”
“(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes” by Elvis Costello, guessed by Glen- “I notice what matters”
“Got Nuffin” by Spoon “There’ll be no strings to bind your hands”
“Angel of the Morning” by the Pretenders, guessed by Bill- “This baby’s bored and here’s your warning sign”
“Summer of ’93” by the Good Graces
Good luck!
I am *so* annoyed that I missed “Cruel to be Kind” in the last list — that’s one of my favorite songs, and I totally didn’t catch that that was the very first line.
#1 – Chocolate Jesus, by Tom Waits
#7 – The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes, by Elvis Costello
Yes! I was nervous about getting #7. The main character in my old webcomic always wore red shoes because of this song.
#9 – “Angel of the Morning” by Merrilee Rush (among others)
