Last week’s 10 wound up with four lyrics identified! Two were grabbed by Fred, One by Frodis Caper, and one by HL.
Among the unidentified songs was “Cry Little Sister” from The Lost Boys — the classic “It’s hard to be a teenager and also maybe kinda sorta a vampire” film.
And now it’s time for this week’s 10! If you know the artist and the title, get in the comments. Edit: The answers are now posted below and on YouTube 📺 for the blondest Friday 10 ever!
