Cafe Society

Don’t mind atoll Spoons. Yall gonna have to quote the snippet you’re guessing though. The numbering scheme has gone whacky.

22

Oh wait-- the numbering scheme is alive and well! I dunno what I’m talking about.

19 is Piano Man.
21 is Rapture

Correct on number 19, Biggirl, but not on number 21. Unless there are two songs with that phrase, of course.

I’ll add a few more words to number 8; perhaps they will jog someone’s memory:

18-Nights in white satin: The Moody Blues
20-Killing me softly with his song

25

And Threadkiller is correct with numbers 18 and 19.

26

Guess on #8:
Time Passages
