Lyrics Quiz - At the Movies


Mission Impossible 3 started off the summer blockbuster season a couple weekends ago. Seems odd considering Memorial Day used to be the kickoff date. But as studio try to out do each other, soon St. Patrick’s Day will kick off the summer blockbusters. Well except the whole M:I:3 not doing as good as expected. But anyways. So movie soundtracks are the basis of this month quiz. As usual, leave the song title and artist in the comment section. As and added bonus, if you name the movie the song appeared in (as long as the title of the movie is not the same as the title of the song), you get an extra point. You can steal the bonus once the song has already been guessed. If you are right I will un-bold it and give you credit. Winner will join the Winner's List on the sidebar. Now on to the lyrics:

  1. #11 is by Goo Goo Dolls and it is in that movie with Meg Ryan and Kevin (I can never remember his last name) where he is a ghost and well... I hated the movie, so remembering the name of it is probably a waste of my brain cells.

  6. #11 is Goo Goo Dolls, but I need a song name and it was a Meg Ryan movie, but I don't know there was a Kevin in it.

    #21 is from St Elmo's Fire and I'll give you a hint, it's also the name of the song.

    #25 is from a Molly Ringwald movie.

  7. 11. is Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls,
    not sure which movie though

  8. #11, then, is Iris by Goo Goo Dolls, from City of Angels.

    And, very obviously, #18 is from Lose Yourself by Eminem, from (surprise surprise) 8 Mile.

    Another really obvious one (I'm slow today but I still know some popcult): #22 - Mrs. Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel (wo wo wo) from The Graduate.

    In case you were wondering, my jacket size is a 44 long, and my left arm is just a little longer than my right.

  9. #25 -- Pretty in Pink is the movie, the song is by OMD and I don't know the name of it. Maybe Touch me Once?

    #8 -- Dolly Pardon Working 9-5 from the movie 9-5 ?

    #12 -- I think is from Reality Bites. That was from my college days, I don't remember much from back then.

    I love all these 80's movie references. These just keep coming to me as I sit here and try to work!

    I stumbled onto your blog a few weeks ago, because of your love for Veronica Mars! (I love her!) You do a great job!

  16. #25, right movie, right band, wrong song title

    Against All Odds if from the movie Against All Odds, I think you are thinking of the Phil Collins song Groovy Kind of Love which was on the Buster Soundtrack.

    It' easy to put Huey Lewis with Back to the Future because he was in it (or was it the sequil?)
