August 29, 2025: Friday 10

Let’s take another week to set my music player on shuffle and see if you guys can guess the artists and titles! There’s lots of great stuff in the list today, so here are the rules:

1. No Searching.
2. You only have to be close to the title. (“Um, Actually” rules apply — you get the point if you’re close, unless someone gets closer)
3. I give credit for cover versions, but they have to be easy to find. “The San Jose Skillet-Lickers covered it once at a live concert in 1987 I have on audiocassette somewhere” is an awesome deep cut, but I won’t count it.

As with last time, you have until next Friday to guess. Then I’ll post the answers, and that’s it!

And if you want to see the answers for last week, they’re over on their own post!
