Subject: The New Name Game THAT NOBODY FINISHED! Winner: Whitewolf
Written By: Doc Brown on 02/20/05 at 12:27 pm
Every song has a name in the title. Again, not necessarily a first or proper name, and this time in one case the answer's the same as one in the last quiz! I'll give an extra point to whoever figures it out! Limit's now 5, and the usual rules apply.
1. "Just a few more hours,"
Indy - KISS, 'Beth'
2. "Got this fever that I can't control."
AB - Miami Sound Machine, 'Dr. Beat'
3. "When everything feels like the movies,"
Indy - Goo Goo Dolls, 'Iris'
4. "She's lookin'at you." (the trickster!)
nally - Counting Crows, 'Mr. Jones'
5. "When lover's hearts catch fire."
whitewolf - ABC, 'When Smokey Sings'
6. "Thinking about women and glasses of beer"
Gaylon - James Taylor, 'Sweet Baby James'
7. "But when I’m surrounded I just can’t stop."
AB - Barenaked Ladies, 'Brian Wilson'
8. "she goes out with other guys!"
Gaylon - 'Runaround Sue' (from a 1983 movie)
9. "I don't have to fight to prove I'm right."
Gaylon - The Who, 'Baba O'Reilly'
10. "And may God's love be with you."
Indy - David Bowie, 'Ground Control To Major Tom'
11. "Danger, in the game when the stakes are high."
whitewolf - Starship, 'Sara'
12. "I lift my gaze to empty skies above."
whitewolf - Sting, 'Desert Rose'(from 1999's Brand New Day)
13. "Just like that old story,"
Faces, "Cut Across Shorty"
14. "We are far too young and clever."
whitewolf - Save Ferris, 'Come On Eileen' (Also by Dexy's Midnight Runners!)
15. "guns and gates no longer hold you in,"
gemini - Elton John, 'Nikita'
Current Score: Gaylon - 2 1/2, whitewolf - 5, nally - 2, Indy - 3, gemini - 1, AB - 2
Leader: whitewolf
Good luck all!
Your Pal,
Doc

ok The only other singer I can think of is Lief Garrett, but I think that was in the 70s. Personally I didn't like his singing.

Come on, you guys! I know I've put other quizzes on the board, but why didn't you finish this one? You can't even think of songs with names in them? I guess it's time for me to kick butt and take names! >:(
Nah, just kidding. :D OK, one hd to be changed since no one would get it, but the new one's by the same artist. Keep trying!
Your Pal,
Doc
