Late-night randomings

I’m headed to Maryland in something like nine or ten hours. (It’s my sister’s birthday this weekend.) Because I plan on spending at least seven or eight of the hours before that asleep, I won’t have time to post this in the morning. But since I’m, for some reason, still awake, this qualifies as Friday, right?

  1. “Do You Think It’s Alright?” by the Who, guessed (sort of) by Betty
    He’s had a few too many
  2. “Alabama Song” by Lotte Lenya (also the Doors), guessed by Eric
    I tell you we must die
  3. “Fit But You Know it” by the Streets
    Maybe even 9 and a half in four beers time
  4. “Low Rider” by War, guessed by Betty
    Take a little trip and see
  5. “Christmas” by the Who, guessed by Betty
    He doesn’t know who Jesus was or what praying is
  6. “Velvet Divorce” by Sneaker Pimps
    You let this scandal in
  7. “I Hate Myself for Loving You” by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, guessed by Eric
    You said you’d meet me, now it’s quarter to two
  8. “Sinnerman” by Nina Simone
    Don’t you see I need you, rock?
  9. “Secret Heart” by Feist
    This loneliness, few can bear it
  10. “Ready to Die” by the Unicorns
    I woke up thirsty on an island in the sea

As always, guess the lyric, win no prize. And, as always, best of luck.

I will post the remaining answers to last week’s, but it’ll have to wait until I get back on Sunday, I’m afraid.

  1. It’s Friday by my clock! Let’s see…

    Is #1 “Uncle Ernie” by the Who?

    #4 is “Low Rider” by, uh, War?

    #5 is “Christmas” by the Who, so either I’m wrong about #1 or your music machine is on something of a Tommy kick.

    #7 looks familiar, but isn’t dredging anything up out of my brain.

  2. #2 – The Doors, “Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)”
    #7 – Joan Jett, “I Hate Myself for Loving You”

    The Who… War… The Doors… Joan Jett… Did Generik write this quiz for you?

  3. The Who… War… The Doors… Joan Jett… Did Generik write this quiz for you?

    I didn’t, but I’d be happy to listen to the songs on it!

    I actually knew two and a half this week (2 and 4, and I know 5 is from “Tommy,” but I couldn’t remember the actual song title), which is at least two better than most weeks. And a hell of a lot better than anyone did on my quiz last week!

  4. No guess, but wanted to mention that WordPress should allow you to post date your posts. Then, they auto-publish on that date. Great feature if you go on vacation or if you write something, but don’t want it to show up until a certain date.
