All 10 And We’ll Watch Them Fall

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.
