  1. If wishes were trees the trees would be falling
    Stand

    Little Pink Houses

I’m still thinking about the other two

(renumbered) 44. “I’m hiding in Honduras/I’m a desperate man.”
Lawyers, Guns and Money Warren Zevon

  1. Served out his time, became a circus clown

I agree, Google is cheating. We need the honor system.

  1. the time was unfair to a woman her age
  2. and we never liked disco
  3. I was all by myself, no one was looking
  4. coffee black and egg white
  5. the Telex machine was kept so clean
66

Justin, number 50 is “I Don’t Like Mondays” by the Boomtown Rats.

I agree also that Google is cheating, by the way. I’m having more fun with these on their own than I am searching for them. Some of them just sound so familiar.

67
  1. Down the highway through the cradle of the civil war
    Graceland–Paul Simon

  3. This dance ain’t for everybody, only the sexy people
  4. A super-dope homeboy from the Oak-town, and I’m known

Okay, I’d bet money that 14 is 19-2000 by Gorillaz, not “In da Club” by 50 Cent.

35 is “Try Again” by Aaliyah.

  1. See my name see my name on the wall
  2. Kiss me please kiss me kiss me out of desire

No one knows my other two (28 and 29)?

72

25: “Home at Last”, Steely Dan (from the “Aja” album)

73

This is Sir Mix A Lot’s Posse on Broadway.

I don’t know the name of the song, but it is the secret song at the end of Green Day’s Dookie. Isn’t it from Sesame Street?

74
  1. Carolina in My Mind - James Taylor

Right on my “31” - The Stand by the Alarm. In my head all day today.

And for the record, “Sunshine on My Shoulders’” real title is “Annie’s Song.”

  1. Under blue moon I saw you. So soon you’ll take
75
  1. In '84 he’ll be a little faster . . .
76

“The Secert Song” is the name of the song. And it wasn’t from Sesame Street, as far as I know, Green Day wrote it but I don’t have the liner notes handy.

77

I think you’re wrong about that. “Annie’s Song” is the one that goes, “You fill up my senses, like a night in the forest, like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain…”

“Sunshine on My Shoulders” is, well, “Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy.”

Let me find a cite…

“Sunshine” vs “Annie”

78

Everyone pop over to the “Greatest Lyricist” thread and make your opinions known. But not until someone has answered

  1. Served out his time, became a circus clown

'cause it’s one of my faves, cited in that thread. And I’ll add

  1. Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis

by the same artist.

79

Oh, you’re so totally right Lisa Go Blind!!!

OK, so I’ll answer another in penance.

58 is Jeff Buckley, “Last Goodbye.” Great song - I haven’t heard that one in years!!

Ellen Cherry, if it’s any consolation I think the Talking Heads were referencing the Joni Mitchell song.

80

That’s Downeaster Alexa by Billy Joel.

I am hella fast.
