Guess ten, fool-ass ladder edition.

Date March 9, 2007

Here is this week’s guess ten: I give you ten lyrics, you tell me the name of the song and who performed it.

  1. The Decemberists, “Sporting Life” [ fredline ] There’s my girlfriend arm in arm with the captain of the other team.
  2. “Weird Al” Yankovic, “Happy Birthday” [ Karan ] When they drop the big one, we all get fried.
  3. Barenaked Ladies, “Easy” [ Jess ] You can obfuscate and manipulate, but it’s only at your own expense.
  4. James McMurtry, “Levelland” So they sunk some roots down in the dirt to keep from blowing off the Earth.
  5. Modest Mouse, “Perfect Disguise” I don’t give a damn about you or this town no more.
  6. Fountains of Wayne, “Lost in Space” She walks the earth, but she’s not from the human race.
  7. Led Zeppelin, “Out on the Tiles” [ "Laundro":http://olympus-mons.com/ ] -A ray of sunshine melts the clouds and blows my blues away.-
  8. Ice Cube, “Down for Whatever” She’s flying in the Blazer like “Go, Speed Racer” — but I ain’t gonna chase her.
  9. Simon and Garfunkel, “Bridge over Troubled Water” [ Dad ] Sail on, silver girl.
  10. Indigo Girls, “Secure Yourself” [ Karan ] Now we all are chosen ones.
