Okay, having walloped some more music, of varying obscurity onto my hard drive, here's another twenty. No repeated artists or songs from the last one, and no repeated artists within this meme.


1)To make the best of the situation, before I finally go insane
2)Then later, when it gets dark, we'd go home.
3)It's not a matter of you versus me.
4)Spend my evenings down at the drive-in, and that's where I met you, yeah.
5)My mother was a tailor- she sewed my new blue jeans.
6)I'll never grow so old and flabby- that could never be.
7)They took the credit for your second symphony (rewritten by machine on new technology)
8)Triple breasted women, swimming around town, totally naked.
9)All I wanted was a lousy letter or a call- I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off my wall.
10)It's not that they're wicked, or naturally bad. It's knowing they're....
11)Someone always playing corporation games- who cares they're always changing corporation names.
12)It gets dark. It gets lonely, on the other side from you.
13)This morning I woke up from a deep unquiet sleep, with ashtray clothes,
14)We get together- oh we get together, but seperate's always better, when there's feelings involved
15)A lady divorcee in New York City- I had to put up some kind of a fight,
16)There ain't no more- you've taken everything, from my belief in Mother Earth.
17)Alone in the night as the daylight brings a cool empty silence
18)Everyone knows about it- from the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell
19)No-one bites back on their anger, none of my pain and woe can show through.
20)You'll find work, and I'll get promoted, and we'll move out of the shelter.

1. Clapton. Layla. nuf said.

4. Summer of '69? Bryan Adams.

Isn't 19 "No one bites back as hard on their anger, none of my pain & woe can show through"?
(The Who, Behind Blue Eyes)

15. I'm not sure the lyrics are right, but Honky Tonk Woman from the Rolling Stones...

Yup, all right. I may well have typo'd in the making of 19. Pretty sure I got 15 right tho', Mick does enunciate so nicely ;)

7. Video Killed The Radio Star, The Buggles

I had to Google 12 because the tune was running through my head without being quite enough to ID the song. Now I'm kicking myself, which is only a slight improvement!

All correct, tho' you only get half marks for 2. On the _other_ hand, I'd _love_ to hear your Karaoke version of the House of the Rising Sun :)

I thought 2 sounded familiar. I think Perfect Day is a Lou Read song, though there was also the "various artists including Lou Read" version which the BBC used as a promo a few years back. I have no doubt it's also been covered by other people.

I was going to put Lou Reed but didn't have the courage of my conviction. Should have.

Actually, either would do, as I have both.

You mean the same way I had the courage to go with the wrong spelling of his surname? ;-)

I cheated and looked up the spelling. ;-)

17)Alone in the night as the daylight brings a cool empty silence


Interesting. I hadn't thought this mix was particularly easier, but clearly it is ;)
