6. beach boys – god only knows (one of my favorite songs ever)
9. ani difranco – 32 flavors (or, alternatively, that girl who covere the song in the late 90’s, but hell if i can remember her name)
-marisa (the random person who came across your blog about three years ago and has been following it since – in case you were wondering.)
3 is No One is to Blame, which is on my CTY Classics tape (dubbed from a dub from a dub from…). I’ve never known the artist.
5 is the Indigo Girls. Tried to be True? I dunno, I have 3 or 4 of their albums, and it’s on one of those.
“No One to Blame” is by Howard Jones.
If the Indigo Girls did #5, it was a cover — and a surprising one — that I can’t find any record of. I think I have all of two Indigo Girls songs in my playlist — one another cover, the other the obligatory “Closer to Fine” — and this ain’t one of ’em.
Nice guess, though.
#1 Patterns by Simon and Garfunkel
Gahr! I know #5. I can hear words on either side of it. I just can’t play it forward far enough to get to a refrain.
Oh, wait! Is it No Doubt? So… Spiderwebs, then, eh?
Well, it’s not “Spiderwebs”…
Same album, though…
Damn it!
I had to get out iTunes. So I have now cheated, and will keep mum.
Stupid lyric challenge.
