#3 You Belong To the City – The Eagles
#4 I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight – Cutting Crew (and some others?)
#6 Englishman in New York – Sting (hehe – tricky me)
Bonus – Cabaret from the musical Cabaret!
#1 – In checking the lyrics, I found out there is a new version of this one. Ick.
It's love it's love love get busy#2 –
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Now now why don't they just let me live
Sometimes I feel I've got to#3 – Ugh. It looks like this one was remade too…
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
I saw him dancing there by the record machine#4 –
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was going strong
Playing my favorite song
How can I explain#5 –
When there are few words
I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken
Put on a little makeup makeup#6 –
Make sure they get your good side good side
You’ve been thinking#7 –
And I’ve been drinking
We both know that it’s just not right
Even while we sleep#8 –
We will find you
Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
I've packed my bags#9 –
I've cleaned the floor.
Watch me walking.
Walking out the door.
I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah#10 –
and what he know you ain't had time to learn.
It was a beautiful songBonus – One of my favoritest songs ever
But it ran too long
If you're gonna have a hit
You gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05
Tonight I’ll sing my songs again
I’ll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity

2. Tainted Love by ... someone.
10. The Entertainer ... Billy Joel (It only took me probably fifteen and two gazillion times of singing through those lines over and over again before I could get the next chunk ... NARGH!)
ARGH ... just googled #4 b/c I knew it but couldn't think of it; same with the bonus. I'm MUCH better at giving lyrics if I've got the tune than putting the tune to the lyrics. But at least I'm trying, right?
#6 sounds like some stereotypical country song ... #7 is the stalker song (or Santa's song -- but for the same stalkish reasons) .... #9 is the arson song. I get it -- it's Role Model Day!
Thanks for the fun!
Did the google on #1 ... am SO with you on the "Ick." And she's the redo of #3 too? Is nothing sacred? And now, as I continue the google, I continue to kick myself for my lack of brain connections for what now seems so obvious ...
Ok, not that I'm stalking your comments ... but do I get bonus points for thinking the song of #9 was the answer for #8?
I'll quit now .... and send folks from my place over --- all two of them!
#2 Tainted Love - Soft Cell
#3 I Love Rock and Roll - um... grrrr...
#4 Chains of Love - Erasure
#8 Would I Lie to You - Eurythmics (or was it just annie?)
poo.
#5 Goody Two Shoes - Adam Ant
#3 I Love Rock and Roll - Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
whew!
i'm finally using some of those brain cells ma!
#7 is "Everybody wants to rule the world," by...Tears for Fears, I think?
Bonus:
...like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound, I wish I was
Homeward bound
A-ha! The Jayfish strikes again :)
Steph gets 1.5 points for #10 and half of #2
Jayfish in a monster rush gets numbers 2,3,4,5 and 8.
Luckybuzz hits #7
And P/H is rapidly gaining a big fan in me by getting #10
So we're still missing numbers 1,6 and 9?
Kudos to one and all!
#6 Huey Lewis and the News -- If This Is It.
# 1 Bobby Brown -- My Prerogative
Sigh. Why are all these songs taking up valuable space in my brain?
