It’s time we all reach out to guess ten.
March 2, 2007
Answers for last week are up here: Four were unguessed — at least two of which I thought folks would get! Maybe I am getting out of practice. Oh, well, I never wanted to be your weekend lover…
- Prince, “Purple Rain” [
Laundro" ]
I only wanted to be some kind of friend. - Spandau Ballet, “Gold” [
(: Tom :) ]
You’ve got the power to know, you’re indestructible. - Motley Crue, “Doctor Feelgood” [
(: Tom :) ]
Jigsaw Jimmy he’s running a gang, but I hear he’s doing OK. - Talking Heads, “Girlfriend is Better” [
Laundro ]
She’s moving up going right through my heart. We might not ever get caught. - Concrete Blonde, “End of the Line”
Now’s the time to take a dive, take a magic carpet ride. - Rage Against the Machine, “Roll Right”
But now we’re alright — We’re all calm. - John Mellencamp, “Authority Song” [
Fred ]
But I think it’s a total disgrace. - Sinead Lohan, “Whether or Not”
All this fire in the air isn’t mine — not mine completely. - Soft Boys, “Pulse of my Heart”
You can set your watch by me, I’m a regular guy. - Guns ‘N’ Roses, “Welcome to the Jungle” [
Jess ]
You can taste the bright lights, but you won’t get them for free.

Dang, Laundro, you beat me to the Purple punch.
I’d hazard a guess that 5 is “Magic Carpet Ride” by Steppenwolf.

Very good, Laundro! I thought maybe #1 would be obvious enough you’d miss it. Guess not!
M E-L, you’re a quarter-century off.

Is #10 “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns n’ Roses?
March 2nd, 2007 at 5:52 pm
Indeed it is!

#7 is “Authority Song” by John Mellencamp (although I think he was still using the “Cougar” back then)

Dude! Your last guess ten (the knotty edition) is gone from your site. The link takes me nowhere; and I can’t find it anywhere on the site.
Perhaps it’s in draft mode, and needs to be published again?

Oh yeah -
number 2 is “Gold” by Spandau Ballet.
number 3 is “Dr. Feelgood” by Motley Crue.

Wow! Somehow that post got set to private. I wonder how that happened. Thanks, (: Tom :). You are of course right about your two answers.
Fred, I think he was going by “Cougar” at the time, but not by choice — have you heart him tell that tale?

I’ve heard him tell a version of it, yeah. Basically, the middle name was the invention of some idiot record producer.
