All of the answers have been posted for the last Friday 10 (which was actually 2 weeks ago — whoops!), so you can check them out to see what the 9 that weren’t guessed were!
The one that was guessed was identified by John — R.E.M.’s “Stand.”
For those who haven’t played before the idea is that I hit shuffle on my music player (an actual, stand-alone music player) and you comment if you can identify the artist and song. The rules beyond that are simple:
- No searchin’ for the answers
- Covers get credit (but I have to be able to find them)
- If you’re close and nobody gets closer, you get credit.
This Week’s Lyrics
- It’s my town, my crown, and my hitlist
Maisie Peters, “Smile” 📺 - If I had a box just for wishes and dreams that would never come true…
Jim Croce, “Time in a Bottle” 📺 Identified by John - They’ll all imply that I might not last the day
Dido, “Thank You” 📺 - I got the clothes, but not the face
Tom Waits, “Big in Japan” 📺 - His sister had another one, she paid it for a lime
Harry Nilsson, “Coconut” 📺 Identified by John - You sewed a button on my shirt one day
The Monkees, “Every Step of the Way” 📺 - They found so many scorpions inside (his lungs)
Lemon Demon, “When He Died” 📺 - Almost busted in Laredo, but for reasons that I’d rather not disclose
Willie Nelson, “Me and Paul” 📺 - Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
David Bowie, “Oh! You Pretty Things” 📺 - What was whole comes apart, what was broke heals again
Karen & The Sorrows, “Guaranteed Broken Heart” 📺
Also, Thudfactor runs this game, too — so you can stop by and take a crack at identifying his Friday 10 when you’re done here!
2 – Time in a Bottle, Jim Croche, or Robin the Frog if you’re a muppets fan.
5 – The Coconut Song, Harry Nilsson. A favorite MST3K reference.
