Code Monkey Likes You - And the Weekly 10

The answers to the last weekly 10 are now posted! Does anybody actually bother to check those?

Here’s this week’s 10. For those who came in late, here’s the deal. I set my mp3 player to shuffle and post 10 lines. If you know the artist and the title, drop it in the comments. Partial credit is awarded for guessing the artist. If the song is heavily covered, credit is given for identifying at least one artist who has performed it or the original artist.

  1. “Incense and Peppermints,” by Strawberry Alarm Clock [guessed by Thud] – “Beatniks and politics – nothing is new.”
  2. “Anyone Can See I Love You,” by Marilyn Monroe – “The way I hold your hand and smile in your direction, tells the world my heart is full of nothing but affection.”
  3. “Time,” by Pink Floyd [guessed by Thud] – “No one told you when to run – you missed the starting gun.”
  4. “Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon,” by Queen – “I’ll be back again before it’s time for sunnydown.”
  5. “It’s All Too Much,” by The Beatles – “Floating down the stream of time from life to life with me…”
  6. “Cocaine Blues,” by Johnny Cash – “If you’ve got a warrant, just read it to me.”
  7. “The Ballad of Serenity (Theme From Firefly)” [song guessed by Fred] by Sonny Rhodes – “Burn the land and boil the sea, you can’t take the sky from me.”
  8. “Imagine,” by John Lennon [guessed by Carl] – “I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.”
  9. “I’m All Bloody Inside,” by Liam Lynch – “If you want to get to know me, then I suggest you start on the outside.”
  10. “All I Want To Be (Is By Your Side)” by Peter Frampton – “Don’t stand alone, you might turn to stone – I wish there was a pill for that.”
