4. Next line is something like "C'mon pretty baby let me take you home," and I THINK it is something by Roy Orbison....

6. Take A Chance, ABBA

I love these things, even if I usually only know a few songs!

You got 6, 4 you *kinda* got but I can't give it to you. ;)

No prob re 4. When someone else gets it, I know I'll be all *headdesk* but them's the breaks. :)

Wait a sec. Brain just scootched a few millimeters forward in the song bank tapes. It's not Jerry Lee Lewis and Great Balls of Fire, is it?

4. Pretty little girl standing all alone - Tommy James and the Shondells, Hanky Panky well, maybe it's Tommy James. It could be someone else, I guess.

9. Radio relay towers lead me to my baby - State Trooper, Bruuuuce?

18. Sell your soul just to buy buy buy -- Stevie Ray Vaughn, Crossfire (I LOVE that)

You are *so* not wrong about Peter Jackson.

I'm inclined to throw him a party or something! Now, if he'd just get a haircut...

heh - I like the scraggly look.

Wow, you were right about the Peter Jackson thing. I clicked on the link not believing it was possible, but -- that's a really dramatic change. I didn't think he had it in him.

Totally - that's a complete "who knew?" picture.

3. Please step aside / the celebration's over -- "Fifth of July," Eddie from Ohio (*squee! EFO!*)

Also, 8 sounds very familiar. Thinking...

Yes! "Never meant to push and shove you, do you know how much I love you, no you don't..." -- "Past the Point of Rescue"! I only know the Mary Black version, which I...think? is a cover?

Date: 2004-12-18 08:24 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tzikeh.livejournal.com
Yup! You got both of 'em, and yes, her version is a cover of Hal Ketchum's song.

re: EFO

Do you have the Schoolhouse Rock Medley track? It's so much fun.

#5 is "Odd Man Out" by Lou and Peter Berryman. And, I'm guessing, it was the live version?

Date: 2004-12-19 09:53 am (UTC)

Indeed, it is!

#17 is Moxy Fruvous, "Michigan Militia." And is it "but"? I always heard it as "or."
