Guess Ten, Oldies Edition (12-23-05)

December 23, 2005

One of the songs that came up as I was putting today’s quiz together was Madonna’s “Frozen” from _Ray of Light_. It’s hard to pick a lyric for people to guess when every line comes from six dozen other songs. “Give yourself to me, you hold the key”? Gag.

I’m not entirely sure, but I don’t think there’s a song in this list younger than ten years old.

I give you the lyric, you give me the title and artist.
