Ten to the bar (+1)

This time around I let the player run for eleven songs instead of ten – but I’d already typed up the eleven lines. So there’s one extra on the list today!

Answers for the previous two lists will be posted later today.

  1. Indigo Girls, “Closer to Fine” [Thud] – “I woke up with a headache like my head against a board.”
  2. Kunal Ganjawala and Vasundhara Das, “Salaam Namaste” [no guesses] – “Aa mil jaa phir gale, haste haste”
  3. Jewel, “Little Sister” [no guesses] – “We spill the pills and sweep them under the rug.”
  4. Mike Nesmith, “Little Red Rider” [no guesses] – “Nobody was home in the town I called home.”
  5. Tori Amos, “Father Lucifer” – “You always did prefer the drizzle to the rain.”
  6. Talking Heads, “Psycho Killer” [Fred] – “I hate people when they’re not polite.”
  7. Jill Sobule, “Merry Christmas from the Family” [no guesses] – “It’s margaritas when the eggnog’s gone.”
  8. U2, “Vertigo” [no guesses] – “There’s bullets ripping sky of ink with gold”
  9. Jonathan Coulton, “My Monkey” [no guesses] – “Every monkey needs alone time.”
  10. Momus, “Tamagotchi Press Officer” [no guesses] – “We are dismayed by your attempts to invade his privacy – please, go away.”
  11. Poe, “Control” [Fred] – “You may be King for the moment…”
