Shuffle Along (aka Name That Tune) – week of 8/23/10
OK kids, I’ll be pretty busy this week so to pass the time I’m going to throw out more lyrics for you. It’s simple: name the song and the band, and win nothing! And no cheating please, there’s enough dishonesty in the world today.
1. “In the thirteen months I’ve spent here / with my manuscript and rhymes / I’ve paid in case for foolish pleasures / mother dear you’d call them crimes”
2. “Like a gangster / on the run / you will stagger homeward / to your precious one”
3. “Don’t give us none of your aggravation / We had it with your discipline” – Elton John, “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting” (via Facebook comment)
4. “Fifteen years in the academy / he was like no cadet they’d ever seen” – Anthrax, “I Am the Law” (Raiden2332)
5. “Don’t be afraid / I didn’t mean to scare you / so help me, Jesus” – Toadies, “Possum Kingdom” (Thom)
6. “Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends / we’re so glad you could attend / Come inside! Come inside!” – Emerson, Lake & Palmer, “Karn Evil 9, 1st Impression Part II” (Mizerychik)
7. “Took my chances on a big jet plane / never let them tell you that they’re all are the same”
8. “Sergeant O’Leary is walkin’ the beat / at night he becomes a bartender” – Billy Joel, “Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song)” (Mizerychik)
9. “In the night, call you up and wanna know when you’re coming home / don’t deny me, call me back I’m so alone”
10. “I ain’t blind and I don’t like what I think I see”
