Ugh. Papers done. Brain mushed. Grades were surprisingly good though – that’s nice.
Now I may actually get a chance to do a little bit of my own work – ha! Fat chance.
Well, the least I can do is give you good people a little lyric quiz, right?
Yesterdays results:
#2 was Kiss from a Rose, and it’s by Seal
#5 Oh! What a feeling, Lionel Ritchie is Dancing on the Ceiling!
Oh, and just to make sure we’re clear on this – There is no other version of the Rainbow Connection. There is only Kermit’s. :)
Now, on to the juicy stuff (and not the kind that’s printed on running shorts)
#1 – one of the best songs ever, as far as I’m concerned
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
#2 –
She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
#3 –
But I should've been gone
Long ago, far away
And you should've been gone
Now I know you'd lie
You'll stay
#4 –
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
#5 –
You see the world through your cynical eyes
You’re a troubled young man I can tell
You’ve got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand’s wet with sweat and your head needs a rest
#6 –
My baby, she’s alright,
My baby, she’s clean out-of-sight.
#7 – contender for the strangest lyrics award
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
#8 –
When I'm out walkin'
I strut my stuff man,
I'm so strung out
#9 –
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
#10 –
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning's sun
#11 –
Keeping my eyes open
I cannot afford to sleep
Giving away promises
I know that I can’t keep
Bonus!
Work your cares away,
Dancing's for another day.

Hey! How'd I get here first? Well, I'm going to squander my here-first advantage by being too tired to get full answers for anything.
#2, couldn't think of it and googled. So annoyed now. How did I not get this? I should go back to bed.
#4, Desperado (the Eagles?)
#6, Some Kind of Wonderful (????)
#7, Macarthur Park (rats, I can never remember this)
#8, Blister in the Sun (Violent Femmes)
#9, Carry on (my wayward son?)--Kansas
Gah.
#11 - Melissa Etheridge - Come to my Window
#2 is Killer Queen by Queen.
I know #3, I do, I do. But not to the extent that I can remember the title or artist. I will be kicking myself when someone gets it.
Oh damn, I KNOW I know #11, but it's not coming to me... Is it something by Sarah McLachlan? (which doesn't really fit with the rest...) and #5 is by Styx, right?
Sheesh...get here early enough to have a crack at something and that's all I can come up with!! (Although I knew nos. 2, 4, and 8, too!)
Ooh, wait, "Angry Young Man" by Styx? (Which I will be singing for the rest of the day now...)
bonus- Fraggle Rock Theme!!!
bonus- Fraggle Rock Theme!!!
#3 is Oh Sherry by Steve Perry -

Aarghh! Of COURSE that's #3. I knew I knew it.
#1 is James Taylor: Carolina in My Mind
