Just another former infatuation junkie

Okay. So I post these every week and usually wind up with only one line guessed.

This time I’ve decided to hit a special edition of the 10 lines. Welcome to “It’s the 80’s!” Prepare the synth and the “clap” sound effect, ‘cause we’re off!

1. Huey Lewis and the News, “It’s Hip to Be Square” – “I like my bands in business suits, I watch them on TV.”
2. New Kids on the Block, “Hangin’ Tough” – “Don’t worry ‘bout nothing ‘cause it won’t take long, we’re gonna put you in a trance with a funky song.”
3. Whitesnake, “Here I Go Again” [Fred] – “I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.”
4. Peter Gabriel, “Sledgehammer” [Fred] – “Open up your fruitcage where the fruit is as sweet as can be.”
5. Ultravox, “Dancing With Tears in my Eyes” – “The man on the wireless cries again, it’s over, it’s over.”
6. Cameo, “Word Up” [Thud] – “We don’t have that time for psychological romance.”
7. Rick Springfield, “Jesse’s Girl” [Fred] – “You know I feel so dirty when they start talkin’ cute.”
8. Culture Club, “Karma Chameleon” [Fred] – “I’m a man who doesn’t know how to sell a contradiction.”
9. Poison, “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” [Thud and Fred] – “Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song.”
10. Soft Cell, “Tainted Love” [Fred] – “I’m sorry, I don’t pray that way.”
11. Bonus points to Thud for recognizing the title of the entry as a reference to The Ramones’ “I Wanna Be Sedated.”

If you know the song and artist, drop it into the comments. Once you’ve guessed these, you can go and guess the nine lyrics left over from last week’s set. As for the week before, answers are now posted. I’m sorry, but two weeks really is the limit.

Meanwhile, because sanity is a precious commodity, I have decided today to participate in the “24 Hour RPG” project by trying to create my own RPG in 24 hours. So why am I taking the time to post these lines? Geez, man. Procrastination’s a pain.
