I can name that pop tune in 10 words

Cafe Society
281
  1. “eyes sealed shut in a slumber, till we hear someone mumble, could you spare from the tumbler, a new drink for the old drunk.”

That’s called “New drink for the old drunk” by a band called Crooked Fingers. I figured nobody would get it, but I was hoping to find a kindred musical spirit.

282

funny, I didn’t think 112 would be so hard…

…but the answer is:

Turn It On Again by Genesis.

“You’re just another face
that I know from the TV show
I have known you for so very long
You feel like a friend”

283

Will do:
87. I’m gonna slip into the field like Han Solo

This is from Rolling by Soul Coughing.

  1. His eyes go funny, you can’t place why

This is from Misinformed by Soul Coughing, the very next song on the same album. (El Oso, which should have been on my top 10 albums list if it wasn’t).

284
  1. Your mother and your children they are not your biggest your biggest fans.
    This is Dramarama’s “No Regrets.” I thought somebody might recognize it. Everytime in the past that I thought I had a stumper, somebody proved me wrong.
  2. It’s love and darkness and my sidearm - Moby “Southside”
285

#118… Sun comes up, another day begins… Good Day, Sunshine… Beatles… boy, have I been asleep!

286

I thought 112 might be Genesis, but I didn’t remember the lyrics at the beginning - only the “can I touch you for awhile” bit.

287

I guess I should have posted the part I didn’t remember.
“112. I can see another face, I can see another face”

Where in the song is this?

288
  1. I see your face I get all choked up inside.

Can’t Help Myself (Sugarpie Honeybun) by…The O’Jays? The Temptations? I can’t remember!

289

Can’t Help Myself (Sugerpie Honeybunch) by The Four Tops.

290

It’s the countermelody at the end – You hear it and “Turn it on, turn it on again” at the same time.

Yeah, it was too obscure. Sorry…:smack:

291

guess I went too obscure… so here are the answers:

  1. My darling left me this morning and I didn’t know…
    125a. what to say. She left me there drinking my coffee…

was from Thanks to Gravity’s version of Palchelbel’s Canon.

and

  1. …Beijing flu, and you choose then not to come home
    127a. A week later I caught you kissing a girl who…

was from Moment of Weakness by Bif Naked

292

Actually, you’re completely wrong ;). #118 is “Never Understand” by the Jesus and Mary Chain. (“Sun comes up, another day begins, and I don’t even worry bout the state I’m in” was the full quote.)

My other unguessed ones:
195) “Now you ain’t got a number, you just want to” is Three Girl Rhumba by Wire
203) “So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways” is Your Woman by Whitetown.

I think that’s all for me. Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I’ve been out for a week.
