It’s time for another Friday 10! Last week’s set got a few answers. John picked up one by identifying Digital Underground’s “The Humpty Dance,” while Fred picked up Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb,” but it was Frodis Caper who clinched the win with three lyrics correctly identified. You can see all the answers at the original…
