Can you believe it’s been another week in our long, national “It Only Tuesday?”
We could use a break, so it’s Friday and it’s time to try your hand at guessing a new set of 10 lyrics! The previous set has had all of its answers published if you want to check it out. Last week’s list included Janelle Monáe’s “Q.U.E.E.N.” featuring Erykah Badu, which was my introduction to Monáe’s music.
Da Rules
- No Googling. This also applies to Bing, Ask, or any other search engine, and if you ask ChatGPT I will find you.
- You’ve got to get close to the title and the artist.
- Covers count, but I have to be able to find them.
Da Lyrics
- Well, I’d like to be with you — and you know it’s Friday, too.
- You need a man who’s either rich or losing a screw.
- Hoops, spurs, boots — to the floor now.
- Walks on the beach and stuff, you know.
- They’ll give you a condom and a shot of Binaca and say you’re the bomb.
- Please don’t ask me for my ID if I’m in your iTunes library.
- I’m in love, I’m alive, intoxicated, flying high.
- A wrinkle in my sail, I know that air ain’t free.
- You drift through the years and life seems tame.
- Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose it’s very nice.
My brother plays this game every week on his blog, too, but as I write this he’s currently down to only four lyrics left — so you better move fast!
