An Evening Ten…
Yes, yes, it’s been a while since one was posted. But here it is now, and answers will be posted soon for the last few weeks, too.
For those who came in late, here’s the drill. If you know the artist and the song for the lyric, drop a comment. And after some confusion on the last list, comment moderation is turned off – so your answer should appear instantly.
- Serge Gainsbourg – “Qui est in qui est out” [no guesses] – “Je te renvoie à ta science-fiction.”
- Weezer, “Island in the Sun” [no guesses] – “And it makes me feel so fine I can’t control my brain.”
- Hair – “Easy to be Hard” [no guesses] – “Do you only care about the bleeding crowd?”
- Frank Zappa, “Zomby Woof” [no guesses] – “Three-hundred years ago, thought I might get some sleep.”
- Kate Bush, “Big Stripey Lie” [no guesses] – “Your name is being called by sacred things that are not addressed”
- Dropkick Murphys, “Barroom Hero” [no guesses] – “He’s a big, strong man with a child’s mind – don’t you take his booze away.”
- Jack Johnson, “Better Together” [no guesses] – “I believe in memories, they look so, so pretty when I sleep.”
- Queen, “Bicycle Race” [Fred] – “You say Coke, I say caine. You say John, I say Wayne.”
- Iggy Pop, “Nazi Girlfriend” [no guesses] – “Her French is perfect, so’s her butt.”
- Johnny Cash, “Delia’s Gone” [Thud] – “Found her in her parlor and I tied her to her chair.”

Indeed it is. Now I know the other nine tracks aren’t that obscure….

Well, maybe not. It took all week, though, for me to remember that #8 is Queen; something from A Night at the Opera I think, but I can’t remember which cut.
