Last week was a light week when it comes to successful identifications — Fred got off to an early lead by identifying Peter, Paul & Mary’s “I Dig Rock and Roll Music” and… that was it. The one lyric identified. Answers are posted now, and you can even check them out at this handy YouTube playlist!
And watching this video of Peter, Paul & Mary performing live, I’m now convinced that the rumors are true and Janice of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem was 100% based on Mary Travers.
It’s time to get in the comments and idenitify a completely new set of 10 lyrics for this Friday! Edit: The answers are now posted below and on YouTube! Remember, don’t go Googling for the answers, and don’t bother asking ChatGPT or Claude or any of those guys because they’ll just tell you every lyric is from Insane Clown Posse’s “Bugz on my Nugz” (1994).
