what song is that from

oh, oh, oh, oh... I know 10). straight away...

10). Dido - I Don't Want To Wait
(Dawsons Creek Theme - I love it!)

and 4). Avril Lavigne - Complicated

Thats as good as I can do until I eat my Easter egg.

Number 5 is "Across The Universe" by the Beatles

Repost here so ou are not jumping back and forth

1) All day staring at the ceiling, making friends with shadows on my wall.

2) Workin' like a dog for the boss man, Workin' for the company, I'm bettin' on the dice I'm tossin' I'm gonna have a fantasy

3) If you see me walking down the street, Staring at the sky dragging my two feet

4) Chill out, What you yellin for? Lay back, It's all been done before.

5) Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup

6) It's been a long time since I Rock and Rolled, It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.

7) I Am Jeremiah Dixon, I Am A Geordie Boy, A Glass Of Wine With You, Sir, And The Ladies I'll Enjoy

Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind

9) You and I in a little toy shop, Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got

10) So open up your morning light, And say a little prayer for I. You know that if we are to stay alive. Then see the peace in every eye.

Wow. I was feelin' pretty down on myself after the last set, until I saw the answers. Never heard of Johnny Wakelin, William Shakespear, Daryl Braithwaite, Gene Pitney, or Bob Hudson. Yikes.

But thankfully this latest set is a bit easier, although I don't know the song name on #1 and I'm totally stumped on #3. Dammit Darkie, you always get me on at least one. And sorry Mozzie, I need to correct you just a little on #10, because -- again -- RM knows Chick-Rock, and Paula Cole is total Chick-Rock (so is Dido for that matter).

#1 -- song is by Matchbox 20, but I don't remember the title. They had their 15 minutes of fame, and its over, thank gawd.

#2 -- Aerosmith, Love in an Elevator. Livin' it up when I'm going down -- on Dayanna.

#3 -- ???????? !#%&@%$&

#4 -- Good one Mozzie. Vectra would be pleased.

#5 -- Good one Dionysus. I'll also add that its been well covered by Fiona Apple (chick-rock ) and even better by a Canadian guy named Rufus Wainwright -- son of Louden W and Kate McGarrigle, now that's pedigree.

#6 -- Funslover reprezentin'! Fuckin' A right Led Zep!

#7 -- Mark Knopfler, Sailing to Philadelphia. Dire Straits front-man, with James Taylor doing guest vocals (thankfully, cuz Mark's voice ain't all that great). Never did understand the reference to the Mason Dixon line in that song -- MK must have been smokin' a little sumtin' sumtin'. If you ever want a real treat, check out a song called "The Last Laugh" on that same album, with Van Morrison doing vocals -- really powerful.

#8 -- furry rodentia got it.

#9 -- Mole war bereit und aufwartung.

#10 -- I Don't Want to Wait, by Paula Cole (my chickie from Boston). Saw her in SF in one of the best concerts in my short life. Unbelievably intense. Also, practically every person in the audience loved women, and some of us were even men. And yes, the song used in Dawson's Creek, the show that proved what a pussy James Van-der-geek really was ... I mean ... how could you be lying in bed with a teen-age Katie Holmes and NOT be bustin' a move???? My God, I'd have a hard-on the size of Florida.

BTW, I promise no chick-rock if you want to take a break! Oh, SD, if you want Kate Beckinsale you'll have to go through me and pry her out of my cold, dead, claw-like hands!

well done everyone on the last one. ok heres the next one.

1) you sucked me in and played my mind, just like a toy you would crank and wind.

3) ****_ren behave, thats what they say when we're together

4) Well you can give me all you love and anything else you got too

5) You and me, we come from different worlds You like to laugh at me when I look at other girls

6) Pizza party at your house, I went, just to check it out, 19 extra larg-es, what a shame, no one came.

7) Ah its been getting so hard, living with the things you do to me

8) Yeah I can see it now, the distant red neon shivered in the heat, I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land, you know where people play games with the night, God it was to hot to sleep.

9) Your here with me now but your saying you dont want me anymore, Your holding me now but your saying you cant see me no no more.

10) I will come for you at night time, I will raise you from your sleep ,I will
kiss you in four places, As I go running along your street.

ok there are the next ones, Im sorry I have taken so long. good luck

Sir D

Well, I think I know the title for #3, but since artist is making me draw a blank, I am not even going to try...yet. You should know that the damn song is running through my mind "I think were ----- ---"

For #5 the artist popped right away, however the title I am not sure about, but what the heck, I am going for it...

5) Hootie and the Blowfish "I Only Want To Be With You"

Thanks for the half point, SD, I'm inspired now!

For the new lot...
1 ) LeAnn Rimes - Life Goes On
6 ) Led Zeppelin - Rock And Roll
8 ) Men Without Hats - Safety dance

Can I help you mole? Does Nuclear Pussy help?

Just to digress...

I can't help but notice that several of you appear to enjoy the challenges that SD sets in this thread. I know I do.

Are you aware that SD has his own Forum, and that he has more of this style of quiz in his Q&A Forum?

More than that, given that the Forum is essentially a Music forum (accessible by the Guitar at the bottom of SD'd posts), there is a growing selection of music as well... Worth Checking out!

While you're there, SD has allowed me to run a quiz thread as well - the first of which is now awaiting you. It can also be found in the Q&A Forum.

I know it's sometimes difficult to drag yourself away from this wonderful place, and what it offers - I'm the same, but I'm diversified enough to enjoy participating in SD's Music Forum as well. Come and check it out.

Written, spoken and authorised by Mozzie. No payment nor privelege is being received, and no animals were harmed in the making of this commercial.

Wow, Atomic Kitten. And SD, no offense on the Matchbox 20 comment. They were just a little too "poppy" for me. I do love Paula Cole, and I hope she comes back to recording and releasing -- her last album was 1999, but she changed companies, started a family, etc. I've never seen anyone GIVE as much as she did in a concert ... complete disregard for herself and total regard for her fans. Trust me, time stopped for a while.

Latest set very good, and I'm stumped by several. Argh.

#2. Suzi Quatro -- If you can't give me love

#3. Tommy James and the Shondells -- I think we're alone now. Covered by Veruca Salt and probably a few others. C'mon Mole, sing with me again -- I think we're alone now, the beating of our hearts is the only sound.

#6. That's a friggin' Weird Al Yankovic song! But fuck-all if I know the title...

#7. Sweet -- Ballroom Blitz. It was like LIGHTning, everybody was FRIGHTening, and the music was SOOthing, and they all started GROOving...

#8. Robbie Robertson, Somewhere down the crazy river. It was him singing, but not sure if its him solo or The Band.

Stumped by #4, #6-title, #9, #10. Peoples?

Mozzie, I think you got some of the old songs mixed up with the new. And I've love to spend more time in SD's forum, just don't have the time. I'm off work today so checking in a little earlier than normal. By the way ... "nuclear pussy"?? Huh?

Solo, 1987, self-titled album. Also has Showdown at Big Sky. Nice album.

I'm stumped on the rest too.

Hey guys, I'm not wrong... just not 100% correct! You may have noticed I go for half points - which I get for the newly released versions...

My bad -- I meant that some of your most recent song IDs were from SD's previous list (Led Zep, MWH). Sorry, I said it in an ambiguous way.

RM

dont hassle Mozzie, RM its called 20/20, and you can always get the right answer with hindsight.
