Subject: Lester's Quiz-o-rama -- Now Complete
Ok folks, I guess I might as well get into the quiz business too. These are mostly 80s, but other decades may have crept in. Artist and song title. Original artist if it's a cover.
dagwood 1. "I want to love you but I better not touch"
Zella 2. "And the lesson today is how to die"
Zella 3. "He's got crazy flipper fingers"
Goldie 4. "Every minute of the future is a memory of the best"
dagwood 5. "Now everytime I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down"
Zella 6. "So you walk into this restaurant strung out from the road"
Criz 7. "Then one day she came back, I was so happy that I didn't ask"
J.C. 8. "We carry in our hearts the true country"
J.C. 9. "The politicians are now DJ's"
Goldie 10. "I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine"
Karen_M 11."I thought I heard your voice yesterday"
J.C. 12. "Though my views may be wrong, they may even be perverted"
J.C. 13. "I spent the evening with the radio"
Zella 14. "Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand"
Zella 15. "Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat right outside of Delacroix"
Goldie 16. "I'm not hiding the remedy to cure this old heart of mine"
Zella 17. "Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere"
Goldie 18. "We all need the clowns to make us smile"
J.C. 19. "Hey, Mr. Dinosaur, you really couldn't ask for more"
J.C. 20. "Philosophers and ploughmen each must know his part"

#3 is the right song, wrong artist... Elton's version is a cover. :(
#6 - Yep
#14 - Ah, but which one? ;D

You said 80's so I figure you wanted the later version. Okay, The Who
Quoting:#14 - Ah, but which one? ;D

I'll go with Mott. As a Kiss fan, I suspect you like that version better. It's more glam. :)
I think #17 is Bowie's "Young Americans" ??? It is certainly familiar... :(
Subject: Re: Lester's Quiz-o-rama
No! Wait! #17 is "Golden Years" by Bowie. :)

The Who was the version I was looking for.
Mott v. Lou Reed/Velvet Underground... remember, it's the original artist I'm looking for. ;)
#17. Not right, but you're on the right track.
