I didn’t meme to - redux

Filed under: — jen

There are three songs left unsolved, any takers?

Step 1: Put your media player on random.
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 20 songs that play. [Or any line, as I did]
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

Yeah, yeah, we all know how to Google, but let’s not.

Hint: Mark asked if number 9 is that “singy talky guy”. Yes, yes it is.

4)
How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?
Who gets to say?
Who gets to work and who gets to play?
I was always told at school, everybody should get the same.

9)
You know, ladies and gentlemen, I’ve already been to Paris,
I already been to Rome
And what did I do but miss my home?

17)
Everything will be just like you remember
Today won’t look as bad as it seemed
And though love’s become a dying ember
It will burn brighter than you ever dreamed

    I believe that No. 4 is Always the Sun by The Stranglers.
    It was very popular when I was living in Dublin, and I loved hearing it.
    Thanks for bringing back memories. Great blog! :-)

    Bugger… got on board too late… knew the “Hunnas” and the “PK” tunes… and the Femmes, oh and the Kenny Rogers one… nice selection, I’m impressed by the Aussie tunes… It’s such a fun game.

    9 - Johnathan Richman . Also reminded by of a lou bega song :
    ~Got a Girl in Paris, Got girl in rome. I even got a girl in the vatican dome~
