Guess Ten, foggy foggy dew edition
2007 August 24
Today is the kind of weather that puts the “bleak” in “Bleaksburg.” So here’s ten lyrics: you tell me the artist and the song.
Last week’s two unanswered lyrics were MC Chris’s “Illy Oy” and Molly Hatchet’s “Flirtin’ With Disaster.”
- Paul Simon, “Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes” [
Kim ]
And then she slipped into my pocket with my car keys. - Pharcyde, “Ya Mama” [
Laundro ]
Your mother’s got an afro with a chin strap. - Beastie Boys, “Shake Your Rump” [
Jess ]
And when the mic is in my mouth I turn it out y’all - Chicago, “Saturday in the Park” [
Scott ]
A bronze man still can tell stories his own way - Turn everything red and the dream is complete
- Dead Milkmen, “I Tripped Over the Ottoman” [
GLS]
Morey Amsterdam can make a sane man crazy - Warren Zevon, “Excitable Boy” [
Kim ]
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones - INXS, “Meditate” [
Scott ]
A one world state as human freight - John Mellencamp, “Cherry Bomb” [
Tiffany ]
Seventeen has turned thirty-five. I’m surprised that were still living. - Lovin’ Spoonful, “Jug Band Music” [
Karan ]
We gave him little water, a little bit of wine. He opened up his eyes but they didn’t seem to shine.
