Quiz-o-riffic!

(Pardon the delay- the internets are fickle)

Very well done O, quizzical testers (Beware dangerous spoonerisms!) Bonus points indeed to knightjorge for picking up Mr. Lehrer’s Tango, and a special Whoopee! to steph who was able to bridge the 90’s Pop/Classic Rock Divide - but no less praise is due to everyone.

Missing tunes were: #2 CSN&Y, Love The One You’re With, #5 Lemon Pipers, Green Tambourine (told you it was tough :) ), #6 The Cardigans, Lovefool and #10 MC Hammer, Can’t Touch This.

Now, be honest. Someone out there knew the MC Hammer one, but just didn’t want to admit it, right?

But, now, there is new work to be done back in the 80s:

#1

Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

#2

Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands

#3

I know you
Were expecting a one night stand
When I refused
I knew you wouldn't understand

#4

Well can’t you see me standing here,
I’ve got my back against the record machine
I ain’t the worst that you’ve seen.
Oh can’t you see what I mean ?

#5

One that won't make me talk too much
Or make my face freak out

#6

He wants me
but only part of the time
He wants me
if he can keep me in line

#7

Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break
every time she runs away

#8

I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me

#9

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn
I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that

#10

Don't you try and pretend
It's my beginning
We'll win in the end
I won't harm you
Or touch your defenses
