Sing along if you can…
Posted by Chris on 26 August, 2008
I’m sure that you’ve all been sitting around waiting with unbearable anticipation for the answers to last weeks music meme. Shirley from the now defunct (sob) Shirley Heezgay! got the most correct with 13 out of 20 correct. Good job Shirl!
1. Sun King – Beatles
Here comes the sun king
Here comes the sun king
Everybody’s laughing
Everybody’s happy
2. Jukebox Hero – Foreigner
Standing in the rain with his head hung low
Couldn’t get a ticket it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall then like a distant scream
3. Chickenman – Indigo Girls
I am an only child born of the wild
Riddled to spend my time defending the land
You are the only one born in the sun
Riddled to spend your time defending my plan
4. Your Only Friends Are Make Believe – Bloodhound Gang
Yea, well I sing like an amputee though
Why
Cuz can’t hold a note can’t carry a tune
Knock knock Mister Rogers it’s Mister McFeelie
5. Liberation – Pet Shop Boys
Take my hand
I’ve changed my mind again
Really I believed it true
That all who fell in love were foolish
6. Thief of Hearts – Madonna
Bitch
You’re a thief of hearts and now you’ll have to pay
How many licks does it take
You’re a thief of hearts and now you’ll have to pay
7. Heartbeat – Wham
Another summer
Another vacation is over
A September morning
With the sun and the smell of the clover
8. Smells Like Funk – Black Eyed Peas
Yeah, that’s funky funky
Yean that’s funky funky
Yeah that’s funky funky
If it smells like Funk it must be us
9. Kiss Him Goodbye – The Nylons
Oooh you know I love you
Oooh I’ll always love you
Oooh even though the tears are falling
Oooh from my eyes
10. Viva Las Vegas – ZZ Top
Y’all still want me to come with you
Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my sould on fire
There’s a whole lot of money that’s ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher
11. Get Right With Me – Depeche Mode
I will have faith in man
That is hard to understand
Show some humility
You have the ability
12. Move It – Great White
Sweet little sister
This scene’s getting’ old
Don’t you think it’s time we got to go
I got so twisted
13. Strong Enough – Cher
I don’t need your sympathy
There’s nothing you can say or do for me
And I don’t want a miracle
You’ll never change for no one
14. Freedom – Erasure
Freedom will come
To real love
Heaven will come
For real love
15. One Step Closer – Bon Jovi
I’ve seen the heart of darkness
Let’s just say I crossed over that line
Held hands with the hopeless
In too deep on that ride went around one more time
16. Operator – Manhattan Transfer
Operator
Give me information
Information
Give me long distance
17. Spit It Out – Whitesnake
I never knew what a kiss could mean
Until the first time I kissed you
You took my love in the palm of your hand
An’ showed me what a woman could do
18. Breakin’ Dishes – Rihanna
I don’t know who you think I am
I don’t know who you think I am
I don’t know who you think I am
I don’t know who you think I am
19. Shout at the Devil – Motley Crue
He’s the wolf screaming lonely in the night
He’s the blood stain on the stage
He’s the tear in your eye
Been tempted by his lie
20. Something in my House – Dead or Alive
I am being haunted
It’s four o’clock in the morning
And I’m sitting on my stairs
And there’s bangin’ round the bedroom

I only tried to fill in Shirley’s gaps since I knew most of the answers were right.
Chris said
Cb ~ well in that case you’re the big wiener, but is that any surprise to any of us?
Mike said
I got the only one that I guessed at. I love those odds.

Mike ~ I love the Manhattan Transfer
