Sir Isaac New 10
It’s time for another radom 10! The answers to the last 10 are now posted.
So you know the rules. I post 10 lyrics. You know the artist and the title, drop it in the comments. Partial credit will be awarded. If it’s a song that has been covered, just name any of the artists who have done it.
- “I Beg Your Pardon,” by Kon Kan – “You say that you do, but I think it’s you just don’t care – why do I feel you’re using me?”
- “Pirate Jenny,” by Nina Simone (from Threepenny Opera) – “But I’m counting your heads as I make up the beds!”
- “The Workout,” by Utada – “I was talking with a born-again Christian – ‘So what’s it like to start life all over?’”
- “Ohio,” by Bowling For Soup – “I really like Drew Carey and I’d love to see the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame.”
- “The World Before Later On,” by They Might Be Giants – “Where’s the fount of acquired wisdom that eludes me now?”
- “Humble Me,” by Norah Jones – “Heard you kicked the bottle and helped to build the church.”
- “Fiddle With Volume,” by Lady Sovereign – “Where’s my debit card? NOBODY MOVE!”
- “Once Upon a Time in the Projects,” by Ice Cube – “First he tried to wrap me up, slap me up, rough me up – they couldn’t do it so they cuffed me up.”
- “Zombie Me,” by No More Kings – “Now I speak with all the eloquence of livestock.”
- “You Never Give Me Your Money,” by The Beatles [artist guessed by Thud – “All the money’s gone, nowhere to go.”

#10 is “Carry that Weight” by the Beatles. The rest pretty much escape me.

Oo. Right band. But it’s one of those cases where you’re never quite sure where the divide in the song is. By which I mean – different song.
