Friday 10
I give you the lyrics, you tell me the artist and song.
The real reason I wanted to bring comments back is to play this commenting game I used to do back in the days before Facebook. Here's how it works: every week I list ten lyrics. You tell me in the comments the artist and the song.
These lyrics are hand-picked by me, so the songs can span several decades and come from many different genres. In the past I've been surprised by how quickly some of the lyrics I thought were hard ended up being guessed, so I make no claims about any of this being hard. I also make no claims about it being fair.
Update: My brother The Film Optimist has posted his ten! I guessed zero of them!
The rules are:
- No searching.
- I need something reasonably close to the song name.
- I'll accept cover versions… sometimes.
Good luck, and thanks for playing!
