It’s all over when I go out drinkin’
Same as it ever was. Good luck!
#1 – REM, “Pop Song ’89”
#2 – Cream, “I Feel Free”
#7 – Jimi Hendrix Experience, “Crosstown Traffic”
#9 – U2, “One”
Hmm. I don’t think I’ve ever even heard “Crosstown Traffic,” but a quick Google shows you aren’t wrong — though that’s not the song I had in mind by a long shot. Half credit maybe?
4. “Young at Heart” by Frank Sinatra
Really? Cool.
Oooh! Got another one!
3. “Can You Picture That?” by The Muppets (Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem)
7. Epistle to Dippy by Donovan
10. Hmm, I can relate to this one at the moment. It is Carnival, you know. I think this is Insane in the Brain?
Wow! I actually know one! I think. #6 could definitely be Ani DiFranco’s “Freakshow.”
