Getting Closer

One of these days, I’ll actually get the Friday Random 10 posted on a Friday.

Answers for the last set have been posted. Now, here’s another ten.


  1. Sugarhill Gang, “8th Wonder” – “Gotta rap in the key of R-A-P”

  2. Mike Clem, “Doin’ Time Under the Lifeguard Stand” [guessed by Thud]“And now that I’m allowed, I wear my goggles proud”

  3. David Grisman & Jerry Garcia, “Russian Lullaby” – “Where the dreamy Volga flows, there’s a lovely Russian rose”

  4. Utada, “Let Me Give You My Love” – “Eastern, Western people get naughty – multilingual”

  5. Paul McCartney, “Bluebird” – “We’re living in the trees, and we’re flying in the breeze”

  6. Amy Winehouse – “Back to Black” – “We only said good-bye with words – I died a hundred times”

  7. Bob Marley, “Buffalo Soldier” – “Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival”

  8. The Hives, “Abra Cadaver” – “I was a target of a notion of submission”

  9. They Might Be Giants, “Experimental Film” – “It’s the part that makes your face implode”

  10. Flight of the Conchords, “It’s Business Time” [guessed by Thud]“When it’s with me you only need two minutes, ‘cause I’m so intense.”

You know the rules. If you know the artist and title, post it in the comments!

    #2 is Michael Clem of EFO doing time under the lifeguard stand.

    #10, I think, is Flight of the Conchords—it’s Business Time.
