Lyrics Quiz: As Seen on TV 2010 Edition


As we wind down the television season, I am going to run down the best music placement of the past twelve months and as an added twist, I am going to do it in Lyrics Quiz form so you have to guess to see the actual list. As usual, place your guesses in the comment (or e-mail me), both artist and song title, and if you are correct I will un-bold the lyric. You can also get a bonus point is you correctly guess which show the song was featured on and double bonus points if you correctly guess the character how sang the song on the show if it was not performed by the original artist (you can steal the bonus point if and only if someone correctly guesses the lyrics).


1. Maybe I can feel you, heal you on the inside. Underneath the willow tree, wearing nothing else but me.
2. I bought a ticket to the world, but now I've come back again. Why do I find it hard to write the next line?

3. She just can’t be chained to a life where nothing’s gained and nothings lost at such a cost.  (Ruby Tuesday - Rolling Stones;  guessed by Anonymous;  Bonus Not Guessed)
4. A licky boom-boom down. (Informer - Snow; guessed by Doug; Bonus Not Guessed)
5. I’ve been alone with you inside my mind. And in my dreams I’ve kissed your lips a thousand times. (Hello - Lionel Richie; guessed by Doug; Bonus Not Guessed)
6. All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go. I’m standing here outside your door. I hate to wake you up to say goodbye. (Leaving on a Jet Plane - John Denver; Bonus - Jeffster on Chuck; both guessed buy Anonymous)
7. Don’t come knocking around my door. Don’t wanna see your shadow no more. Colored lights can hypnotize. Sparkle someone else’s eyes. (American Woman - The Guess Who; guessed by Anonymous; Bonus Not Guessed)
8. Get a shoe at me by a mean old man; get my dinner from a garbage can.9. These girls are really sleazy, all they just say is please me or spend some time and rock a rhyme; I said “It's not that easy.”  (It's Tricky - Run-DMC;  guessed by Rose;  Bonus Not Guessed)
10. I’m a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb. I am the world’s forgotten boy.
11. You got the blues. Yes you ain’t got no one else to use. There’s an open road that leads nowhere. So just make some miles between here and there.
12. She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes and points all her own, sitting way up high. Way up firm and high.
13. Our mothers cried and sang along and who’d blame them. Now you’re grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever.
14. Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand. Lord, don’t they help themselves. But when the taxmen come to the door, Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale.

15. Hold on little girl, show me what he’s done to you. Stand up little girl, a broken heart can’t be that bad. (To Be with You - Mr. Big; guessed by Doug; Bonus Not Guessed)
16. Just like the prodigal son I’ve returned. Anyone stepping to me you’ll get burned. (Jump Around - House of Pain; guessed by Doug; Bonus Not Guessed)
17. Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past; you must fight just to keep them alive.
18. Oh my love, my darling, I’ve hungered for your touch a long, lovely time. (Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers; guessed by Doug; Bonus Not Guessed)
19. Ohhhh, she got a way with the boys in the place. Treat ‘em like they don’t stand a chance.
20. Forget about that, let’s go into the story about a girl named Blah Blah Blah that adore me.
21. You’re talking to a tourist whose ever move’s among the purest. I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine.
22. Excuse me while I tend to how I feel. These things return to me that still seem real.
23. I wanna love somebody. I hear you’re looking for someone to love.
24. Take a little trip, take a little trip, take a little trip with me.
25. If I told you things I did before, told you who I used to be, would you go along with someone like me?  (Young Folks - Peter Bjorn and John;  guessed by Rose;  Bonus Not Guessed)

Bonus: This song wasn’t actually on television, but an internet tie in with a television show. But it was so awesome; I thought I would add it.
I look for trouble and I find it. It’s such a rush I think I mind it. What am I looking her for. I put the bottle to my lips now. I want to stop but I don’t know how.
