Next up...


Just when I stopped
Opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted,
was yours

Yes, very easy...Space Oddity by David Bowie. Have one for you in a bit...

Okay, here we go, an appropriate one for me:

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

Game on,

Fleetwood Mac and Go Your Own Way

Here's an appropriate one Scott,

That would be Blinded By the Light, originally written and performed by Bruce Springsteen on his first album, but popularized by Mannfred Mann's Earth Band. I'm surprised you didn't quote the part that confuses everyone.

And I knew that Fleetwood Mac one...I was trying to sing it to myself but it just wouldn't come to me...argh, it was so frustrating, but it was also 3 in the morning so it's okay.

Anyway, here's my quote:

She's precocious
And she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got ________________

Had to give the blank because the verse needs to be complete. Might make it too easy, but that's okay.

It's a pretty obscure more or less one-hit wonder. Go ahead and name the song, Google the artist. Make sure you get the original one though and not a cover.

Bette Davis Eyes. Kim Carnes?

The Earth Band version uses slightly different lyrics so I picked a line that showed it was the Earth Band version and not the original.

Yes, but you forgot to say what the song name was...and so it goes to...

Okay, I'm not going to remember them that clearly, but since there was a big argument a few pages back about cover songs it's not worth getting into again. And even so it's come back full circle to you, so no worries!

Didn't want to give anyone else a leg-up in case it was recorded prior to 1981

Ah well, no worries. Bring it on, bandit!

You know, sometimes I need to keep my metaphorical stupid mouth shut (my real one too, but I don't use it to post on the forums). Now I need to come up with a lyric... I'll let you know as soon as I think of one (by tomorrow evening at the latest, I promise)

Nah, I gladly turn over the reigns, even though it's retroactive - I enjoy the "figure out the lyric" part, but not the "think of a lyric to post" part...

If I Had $1000000 by Barenaked Ladies

Awesome song, one of my favorites. My favorite line is "I'd buy you some art (a Picasso or a Garfunkel)".

Okay, here is a really obscure one...just like everyone else said. Of course it is so strange that if someone's heard it they probably remember it.

Yo ye pharoahs, let us walk
Through this barren desert, in search of truth
And some pointy boots, and maybe a few snack crackers.

Game on,

Had to look that one up and I doubt I would have ever have even heard of them over here if it wasn't for usenet. Strange lyrics, but no stranger than some I guess.

It's an amusing song, got a bit of airplay for a short time over here. I especially like the band's name.
