Hell of a week, isn’t it? It’s time for a new Friday 10! Last week we saw 5 of the 10 identified as well as the extra special bonus point! Frodis Caper and Fred each claimed two, and Thud pulled out one lyric and the bonus point to claim a three-way tie! The answers are now posted on the original entry, and on YouTube as a playlist!
Among the songs last week — and, as the first one, the one that set the theme for the blondest Friday 10 ever — was comedy diva Julie Brown with “‘Cause I’m a Blonde.”
Let’s get into this week’s 10! The lyrics are below, get in the comments and identify the songs and artists! Edit: Answers are now posted below and on a YouTube playlist! Remember, the answer should come from your own brain (not Google, Bing, Kagi, and definitely not ChatGPT or Claude), and if you identify any artist that has performed the song (and that I can find evidence of online), I’ll give you credit even if it’s not the artist I was listening to. Let’s go!
- Does she love me for who I am? Or does she want to put my brain in a can?
Max Modem, “Alien Heart” 📺 (from Phineas & Ferb) I’d kick it with who I wanted, and I’d never get confronted for it

Drawing a complete blank this week.
I’m not sure of #9’s title, but I want to call 9 “I’m Tired,” Madeline Kahn, from Blazing Saddles.
I suspect the headline is “Coat of Many Colors” by Dolly Parton.
That is, in fact, the title of the song!
8’s a banger: Miley Cyrus, Party in the USA.
You are correct!
#2- if i was a boy – beyonce
You got it!
Ok wild guess time from pretty confident to not at all:
Pretty confident #3 is Tim Curry – maybe from Rocky Horror but only song title I know from that is Time Warp
#6 I get low confidence Linda Ronstadt vibes
The West LA in #10 is ringing too many bells in wildly different songs/artists combinations so I’m not at all confident in saying maybe Bob Seger?
All about to be answered, of course, but: #3, you’re right about Curry. Not Rocky Horror, though. #6 — yup, that’s Ronstadt. And #10, as far as I know, has never been recorded by Bob Seger.
