It’s another Friday, and another 10 lyrics to guess! As always, a few rules before we get started.
- No Searchin’.
- Get somewhat close to the title.
- I’ll give you credit for a cover version, but only if I can find it.
Of course, last week’s answers are posted, so you can check those out here if you’re interested! And if you want more lyrics to guess, there’s still some over at Thudfactor’s joint!

Get in the comments and get to guessin’!
First one is I Heard it Thru the Grapevine (Marvin Gaye is my pick for recordings)
Five is Radar Love by Golden Earring
Seven is Friend Like Me from Aladdin (and yes I know every word to that entire movie)
And nine is Somebody to Love by Jefferson Airplane
2 is King of Pain, the Police
10 Me and My Shadow, Harry Nilsson
You’ve got #2 — I’m invoking “Um, Actually” rules on #10. You’re close to the title, but off. If nobody gets closer, I’ll give it to you.
Me and my *Arrow*. ‘Cause it’s from _The Point_.
That’s it!
