Meet the New 10

The answers are up for last week’s 10 so you can further educate yourself. This time, four tracks got guessed – I think that qualifies as a new record.

So here’s this week’s 10. If you know the artist and the title, drop it in the comments!

  1. “Rider in the Rain,” by Randy Newman“I’m the son of the prairie and the wind that sweeps the plain.”
  2. “Beat on the Brat,” by The Ramones“With a brat like this always on your back…”
  3. “Popeye the Sailor Man,” performed by Robin Williams [guessed by Fred] – “I’m one tough gazookas which hates all palookas wot ain’t on the up and square.” [multiple artists possible]
  4. “Unworthy of Your Love,” by Stephen Sondheim“Let me feel fire, let me drink poison – tell me to tear my heart in two.”
  5. “Easy Come Easy Go,” by Cinderella“He said, ‘Today you may be rich, but tomorrow you’ll be poor, and the next day you could die.’”
  6. “Straight Through the Heart,” by Dio“Never tell a secret with your eyes – it’s the eyes that let you down.”
  7. “Space Oddity,” by David Bowie [guessed by Fred] – “Your circuit says there’s something wrong.”
  8. “A Watcher’s Point of View,” by PM Dawn“I’m so great I amaze myself, explains just how vain is vanity.”
  9. “Ring of Fire,” by Johnny Cash [guessed by Carl] – “I fell for you like a child.”
  10. “Hollaback Girl,” by Gwen Stefani“That’s right – put your pom-poms down.”
