Wait — today’s Friday, isn’t it? I’ve already lost track. Anyway, here’s the Random Guess 10:

  1. “Carry On Wayward Son” by the Oak Ridge Boys (orig. Kansas), guessed by Betty
    Once I rose above the noise and confusion
  2. “New York City” by They Might Be Giants
    We met in the springtime at a rock and roll show
  3. “Leaving on a Jet Plane” by Peter, Paul and Mary, guessed by Kim
    There’s so many times I’ve let you down
  4. “Dreaming My Dreams” by the Cranberries
    And there’s no other place that I’d lay down my face
  5. “Ballad of Ira Hayes” by Johnny Cash
    And their land grew crops of weeds
  6. “When Doves Cry” by the Be Good Tanyas (orig. Prince), guessed by wormbrain
    Maybe you’re just like my mother
  7. “Long Black Veil” by New Riders of the Purple Sage (orig. Johnny Cash), guessed by Betty
    Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity’s near
  8. “The Soldiering Life” by the Decemberists
    The call to arms you liken to a whisper, I liken to a radio
  9. “I Feel Fine” by the Beatles, guessed by Eric
    Baby says she’s mine, you know
  10. “The Chimbley Sweep” by the Decemberists
    “O lonely urchin!” the widow cried

If you don’t know how it works, just watch how others do it and you’ll figure it out.

I know I haven’t been terrific lately about posting answers, but I will get around to it, hopefully sometime tomorrow. It’s just…well, it’s a little bit of tedious copy-and-pasting. And that’s always assuming I can remember where I saved the right answers…

Anyway, for now, and as always, good luck!

Update: Okay, at long last, here are last week’s answers. And here are the answers from the week before that. I think I’m all caught up now.

  1. #1 is “Carry On, Wayward Son” by Kansas.

    #7 is “The Long Black Veil.” I don’t know who did it originally. The version I have is by the Chieftains and Mick Jagger.

    I’m sure some of those others are familiar, but I’m equally sure they’re not going to come to me.

    And I want to see the answers! 🙂

  2. 3. Leaving on a Jet Plane. Well, the version I have is Drivin N Cryin but I would guess John Denver or Peter,Paul and Mary or one of the many other artists that have covered it…
