Lyrics Quiz: Redo


For three years now I have tested your musical knowledge with a monthly Lyrics Quiz and for that anniversary here is your second chance of song that when unguessed their first time around. As always you need to put both artist and title in the comments section (or you can e-mail me) and if you are correct I will un-bold it and give you credit. The Lyrics Quiz is for entertainment purposes only so please do not use anything besides your own meandering mind to help you up with the answers. Feel free to go through the archives or use the Lyrics Quiz Label to check out some of the previous hints (the list starts from the oldest quiz to the latest). Now onto the quiz:


1. She couldn’t afford a car so she named her daughter Alexis.
2. She said her name was Donnie but her shirt said Marie.
3. Why, why you slap me in my face? I didn’t say it was okay.
4. Exactly how many days you got last, you laughing? We passing, passing away.
5. Natural fact is, honey, that I can’t pay my taxes.
6. I love in a place where there’s no space or time, I love you for my life, you’re a friend of mine.
7. Tryin’ to get my hands on some Grants like Horace. Yeah livin’ the raw deal three course meals.
8. It’s been too hard living but I’m afraid to die because I don’t know what’s up there beyond the sky.
9. I’m not along because the TV’s on, yeah. I’m not crazy because I take the right pills everyday.
10. Wherever there's somebody fightin’ for a place to stand or decent job or a helpin’ hand. Wherever somebody's strugglin’ to be free, look in their eyes Mom you'll see me. (Ghost of Tom Joad - Bruce Springsteen; guess by Rebekah)
11. No prints can come from fingers if machines become our hands. And then our feet become the wheels, and then the wheels become the cars, then the rigs begin to drill until the drilling goes too far.
12. So go ahead and get gone. Call up that chick and see if she’s home. Oops. I bet you though that I didn’t know. What do you think I was putting you out for? (Irreplaceable - Beyonce; guessed by Rebekah)
13. I got a letterman’s sweater with a letter in front I got for football and track. I’m proud to wear it now. When I cruise around the other parts of the town I got my decal in back.
14. I’ll tap into the water try and bring my share. Try to bring more, more then I can handle. Bring it to the table, bring what I am able.
15. I was a starling, nobody’s darling. Lying in perfect circles just for company.
16. Yeah here we go for the hundredth time. Hand grenade pins in every line. Throw ‘em up and let something shine.
17. She was the type to watch Oprah and the Today Show. Be on the treadmill, uh, like OK-Go.
18. Sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window when we’re on the phone and you talk real slow ‘cause it’s late and your mama don’t know. (Our Song - Taylor Swift; guessed by Rebekah)
19. My body’s longing to hold you so bad it hurts inside. Time is precious and it’s ticking away and I’ve been waiting for you all of my life.
20. Let’s go back, back to the beginning, back to when the Earth, the sun, the stars all aligned.
21. There was blood and a single gun shot. But just who shot who? (Copacabana - Barry Manalow; guessed by Rebekah)
22. Secret lovers is what you wanna be. While making love to him, girl, you’re silently calling on me.
23. All the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone they make no difference, no difference in the end. Still hear the woman say “you’re daddy died a hero.”
24. So you think my singing’s out of time: it makes me money. I don’t know why. (Cum on Feel the Noize - Quiet Riot; guessed by Rebekah)
25. Your bark was loud, but your bite wasn't vicious and them rhymes you were kicking were quite bootylicious.

  2. Yay me! And I guess I would get some of these IF I had known them the first time around. :)

    Hope all is well, Scoot! I haven't been around much lately.
