QUIZ XL

So, rather than work, I'll present to you a long-overdue QUIZ! Yes, yes, you thought that they were gone, and they certainly are endangered, but I did collect a couple of names of tunes, so hey! Why not!

I warn you - these may be all over the place, and I've collected more than the usual clump, so rather than save them all up and dole them out sensibly in small chunks, I'll blow them all today. :)

1
My mind's such a sweet thing
I wanna do everything
What a beautiful feeling
2
Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I’m an early morning lover
And I must be moving on
3
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
4
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
5
What's your name?
Who's your daddy?
Is he rich like me?
6
It was a night like this forty million years ago
I lit a cigarette picked up a monkey start to go.
The sun was spitting fire
the sky was blue as ice
I felt a little tired so I watched "Miami Vice."
7
New York, London, Paris, Munich
Everybody talk about...
8
I’ve given up, stop. I ’ve given up, stop.
I’ve given up, stop. on waiting any longer
I’ve given up, on this love getting stronger
9
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up
10
Suzy was in pig tails,
I know I loved her even then.
You know my papa disapproved it,
My mama boohooed it
11
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
12
Well I've been afraid of changin'
because I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I'm getting older too
13
If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin',
I'm gonna tell you all what my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'.
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams,
So I'll propose... on Halloween.
14
I understand just a little
No comprende, it's a riddle
15
Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean

2. Goodbye Stranger ~ Supertramp
4. Never Tear Us Apart ~
7. Everybody Have Fun Tonight
15. We Belong ~ generally known by Pat Benetar, but Lowen & Navarro wrote it, and I actually like their version better.

5 & 12. I know them, but can't quite place the tune -- which means I can't think of the name.

#5 Time of the Season by the Zombies
#9 The Things We Do for Love by 10CC (I think?)
#12 Landslide by Fleetwood Mac

I have #6 in my head, it's a groovy tune, but I have no idea what it's called or who it's by.

allison said...

You used my favourite lyric of all time!!! But someone has already guessed it. (Don't Dream It's Over)

#10 is Spooky but I don't know the artist.

14 is Mexican Radio by Warren Zevon.

zerodoll said...

I thought Mexican Radio was Wall of Voodoo?

Camera Obscura said...

Really? Nobody got 13?

"Spooky" -- Classics IV

#1 - "Crimson and Clover" Tommy James

Ooh, I shoulda known #6. Great tune.

"Pop Music" -- talk about framing my senior year of high school. That and "My Sharrona". Tsk. I'm old.
