Ten! Guess Ten! Ten, I say!

I’ve done two “Guess Ten” entries, and each one has had only one line guessed. So, off we go again to see who can name the songs in my collection.

  1. Randy Newman, “Cowboy” – “Wind that once blew free now scatters dust to the sky.”
  2. Roy Orbison, “In the Real World” – “If only we could live in dreams.”
  3. Dance Hall Crashers, “Lady Luck” – “Lucky charms and one-eyed Jacks won’t bring it back, the writing’s on the wall.”
  4. Jekyll & Hyde Original Cast, “It’s a Dangerous Game” – “It’s a sin with a name, like a hand in a flame.”
  5. Al Jolson, “Ragging the Baby to Sleep” – “Broke the bottle filled with milk. You’re feeling sad, that makes you mad.”
  6. Blackalicious, First in Flight” – “Just put the pedal to the metal, see what you find.”
  7. The Donnas, “Dirty Denim” – “I wonder why you’re so moody. Is it ‘cause you’ve got no booty?”
  8. M.C. Chris, “DQ Blizzard” [Guessed by Thud] – “You could call me a mint, ‘cuz I make the green.”
  9. Harry Nilsson, “One” [Co-guess by Fred and Thud] – “Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday.”
  10. Guns ‘n’ Roses, “Mr. Brownstone” – “I used to do a little but a little wouldn’t do, so the little got more and more.”

You should know the rules by now – if you know the song and artist, drop it in the comments.

And, if you’re interested, the answers for last week’s Friday 10 are posted.

    I know one. “One,” actually. Which is to say I know #9. The version by Three Dog Night?

    I suspect I know #6, too, but it’s just not coming to me.

  2. Glen Says:

    You’ve got the right title, but it’s not Three Dog Night – I guess that one would have been a good one to say “multiple artists possible” on, though, wouldn’t it?

  3. John Says:

    Must be Harry Nillson, then, although there were a lot of artists that covered “One.”

    #8 is “DQ Blizzard” by MC Chris, the better than average rapper with the have to have it habit.

    I am not sure, but I think #7 is “Big Fat Funky Booty” by the Spin Doctors.

    #1 is driving me nuts, because I know the lyric but can’t place it.

  4. Glen Says:

    #8 is, indeed, correct.

    #7, however, is not. Considering my musical taste, however, that was a very good guess.

    And your artist name is correct on #9.
