The Film Optimist

Last week’s 10 wound up with four lyrics identified! Two were grabbed by Fred, One by Frodis Caper, and one by HL. Among the unidentified songs was “Cry Little Sister” from The Lost Boys — the classic “It’s hard to be a teenager and also maybe kinda sorta a vampire” film. And now it’s time…

The week is almost over, so it’s time for a new Friday 10! Last week we got 4 out of 10 with Frodis Caper identifying 3 and Fred identifying 1! One of the unidentified tracks was Run DMC’s “My Adidas,” which I’m fairly sure has gone unidentified twice now since I started doing this game…

Last week’s Friday 10 wound up with three lyrics identified — two by Fred, and one by John! This week, a new 10 are up for grabs! Merrill Bainbridge’s “Mouth” was one of the unidentified lyrics last week, and I was honestly surprised when I learned it was from 1994. In my mind, it’s a…

Last week we identified three out of ten with Fred picking up two, Frodis Caper grabbing one, and John coming oh-so-close to picking up one, as well. Among the ones that went unidentified was Blackalicious’ “Chemical Calisthenics,” one of the tracks (along with “A to G” and “Alphabet Aerobics”) that impresses the Hell out of…

Last week we managed five lyrics — not a bad showing on this blog! Fred locked down two of them, as did John — and HL swung in to identify one more! The answers, as always, can be heard (and some seen) in this handy YouTube playlist. One of the songs that didn’t get identified…

Last week’s Friday 10 had one, single lyric identified by the inimitable, inevitable Fred. This week, how many will we see identified? Among the lyrics that went unidentified was “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears — a personal favorite that also happens to be central to Curt Smith’s appearance in the…

It’s time to get into this week’s Friday 10! Posting a little bit late because y’person spent the entire day thinking it was Thursday for some reason. Anyway, let’s take a look at this 10, shall we? Remember, if you know the title and the artist, get in the comments. Edit: Answers are now posted…

Last week’s Friday 10 answers have been posted, both at the original entry and in this week’s brand new YouTube playlist! Y’know, for all of you visual/auditory learners an’ stuff. Among the entries was the literal first time I ever heard Cher on a track, “Just Like Jesse James.” It was a chart success for…

It’s Friday, and time for a new Friday 10! Last week’s post was a little less extravagant, a little less verbose, just a little less in general, so we’re going to do this week’s in the reverse of the usual order — lyrics first, then jabbering about the previous two weeks. Except, of course, to…
