Last week was a pretty good showing. Am I disappointed that no one got #8, which was on my “best of ’09” mix? Nah. These lyric quizzes can be surprisingly hard, even when you know the songs. Anyway, here’s this week’s version:
- “Girls Room” by Liz Phair
And we hear Terry say that Tricia’s okay - “Over the Rhine” by Born
Whatever you got I don’t mind - “Daniel” by Elton John, guessed by Clayton
They say Spain is pretty though I’ve never been - “Gloria” by Van Morrison w/ Them, guessed by Clayton
Just about five feet four from her head to the ground - “Unchain My Heart” by Ray Charles
Some fella tells me that you’re not at home - “Pressure” by Billy Joel, guessed by Clayton
I’m sure you’ll have some cosmic rationale - “Mickey Mouse” by Sparks
Basically, everything is easy - “My Dark Life” by Elvis Costello
They’re dining on rice paper scenery - “Nothing but Time” by Jackson Browne
Rolling down 295 out of Portland, Maine - “Wild Mountain Berries” by Kelly Hogan & the Pine Valley Cosmonauts (orig. Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty)
We didn’t go skinny dippin’ in a cement pond
Good luck!
3 – Daniel – Elton John
4 – Gloria – Them/Van Morrison, The Doors, and probably many others
6 – Pressure – Billy Joel
Clayton already got the two I knew right away. #5 looks very familiar, but I’m just not placing it at the moment.
Also, in re last week, thanks for giving me the Edith Piaf song even after I flubbed the title.
Billy Joel? Oh! You mean Mr. William Joel.
Heh… I guess he’s William now that he’s doing classical music?
That’s apparently what Gwyneth Paltrow calls him:

I actually have not yet listened to the 09 mix. In my defense, I packed it about as soon as it arrived and only got around to unpacking the CDs yesterday at around 1 am. But I am eager to dive in. As for today, I know 5 is Joe Cocker but for the life of me I can’t think of the song title. Maybe if I wasn’t drunk….
