Subject: A little lyrics quiz - f f f finished
Written By: karen on 02/06/09 at 9:52 am
I started collecting songs for this quiz a while ago. The quiz has a theme that I thought would have lots of songs in it, but in the end I only found this many!
Extra points to Paul for spotting the link - all these songs have some stuttering in them.
Limit = 2 (because there's so few questions!)
1. Is that all you get for your money? Billy Joel - Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) Paul
2. You know I read it in a magazine Elton John - Benny and the Jets snozberries
3. Keeping it a mystery The Knack - My Sharona Tam
4. She took me to her doctor Bachman Turner Overdrive - Ain't Seen Nothing Yet nally
5. They tell me to fight it The Feeling - Never Be Lonely loki
6. Because we get around The Who - My Generation Paul
7. How the others must see the faker David Bowie - Changes Gaylon
8. Kings and queens step aside George Thorogood and the Destroyers - Bad to the Bone Username Deleted
9. But it’s the price you pay Guns N Roses - Welcome to the Jungle CF
10. And I was hip, and I was cool Morris Minor and the Majors - Stutter Rap maddog
11. I knew she wouldn’t do Beach Boys - Barbara Ann nally

#2....(Ba-Ba-) Benny and the Jets Elton John
Just a stab in the dark here...but Four Word Song Titles for the commonality?

#4: "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by Bachman Turner Overdrive?

well if Jeff is right then I take back my guess on the thing the songs all share...

There must be something else that they all share...I can't figure it out either. :-\\
Meanwhile, I just figured out one other song on the list...#11, "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys.
And if my guess for this one and #4 are both right, then all I know is that it would use up my limit of 2.

The song is right but the 'theme' guess is incorrect.

Another one right, Jeff and that's your limit (for now). You can still guess at the theme though.

Nice hard quiz Karen!!! 8)
I think #3 could be My Sharona by The Knack
But it could also be another song I am hearing in my head... but I can't get the tune exactly right so I don't know if the lyrics are right. ;D

Thanks Karen!
The link: the only thing I can think of is that they all have the word "Baby" in their lyrics somewhere?

Good guess, but that's not the link I was looking for.

Hi karen...
#1, 'Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) - Billy Joel
#6. 'My Generation' - Who
Reading through one or two, I'll guess that they have some kind of s-s-s-stammering in the lyric!

#7 is Changes by David Bowie

Hi, karen! :)
I'm rather late on this, but I think I recognize #9...
Is it 'Welcome To The Jungle' by Guns 'N Roses?
Subject: Re: A little lyrics quiz
Written By: maddog on 02/06/09 at 5:26 pm
Well that leaves #10 as possibly the quintessential stuttering song of all time...
#10 "Stutter Rap" by Morris Minor and the Majors
a pseudonym for the great Tony Hawks. I thoroughly recommend his book "Around Ireland With A Fridge" to anyone who's looking for a good laugh, and his website replies to teenage skateboarding fans who've mistakenly emailed him thinking he was Tony Hawk are fantastically hilarious.

Well spotted Graham. And I agree with you about the book. I've owned two copies!

I found that song when searching for potential ones to put in but I didn't know it and wasn't sure how popular it was. :-\\

That isn't the last song, and I didn't forget it as such. Just decided the stuttering wasn't as obvious as in the other songs. I suppose it's a bit like Barbara Ann in that it repeats the first part of the word rather than just the beginning letter. I nearly didn't include Barbara Ann for that reason. :-\\
