Funny story, I lost my music player before posting last week’s 10! So instead of hitting shuffle on my completely curated player full of tracks, I wound up hitting play on my Music YouTube library and wound up posting a ton of deep cuts. Which may explain why John walked away easily with a victory from guessing just one track after correctly identifying “Money” by Pink Floyd. You can check out last week’s answers here or in a YouTube playlist!
Now it’s time for this week’s 10! Get in the comments to identify the artist and song title for any of the 10 lyrics below. Edit: The time to identify is past — the answers are below and in this YouTube playlist! Remember: No searching for the answers, if you get close to the title and artist and nobody else gets closer then you get credit, and if you identify a cover that I can find then you get credit automatically! Let’s crack in!

2. More Than a Feeling – Boston
1 sounds like dishwalla to me. not the counting blue cars song, but the one after that.
Interesting! I just had to double-check to make sure Dishwalla hadn’t covered it. They haven’t, so I can confirm it’s not Dishwalla.
#3 is, I think, Head over Feet by Alanis Morrisette. I can sing bits of #2 but can’t name the song and I’m not sure about the artist.
5. “Jesus Was a Cross Maker” by Judee Sill
9. “Karma Chameleon” by Culture Club
#10 also sounds familiar.
