Ten for Now
I want to start posting the weekly ten, but once you’re out of the habit you’re kind of… out of it.
So here’s the deal. The answers to last week have been posted. Congrats to Fred who got the only song that was guessed, and “boo” to another of my friends who guessed all except for one on another site, but used admitted to looking every single one of them up in Google.
And until Friday, here’s ten random lyrics. If you know ‘em, post ‘em. You have until I post the 10 on Friday to complete them.
- “Happiness is a Warm Gun” by Tori Amos (Beatles Cover) [Song and original artist answered by Fred] –
“Down to the bits that I left uptown” - “D’yer Maker” by Led Zeppelin [Answered by Fred] –
“When I read the letter you wrote me it made me mad, mad, mad” - “Hi-Definition” by Lupe Fiasco –
“My other hand throwing ‘We’ without the ‘e’ up” - “Brian Wilson” by Barenaked Ladies [Answered by Fred] –
“Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane” - “Blue Christmas” by Elvis Presley [Answered by Carl] –
“Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree” - “Fruited Plain” by Eddie From Ohio [answered by Thud] –
