Well, I’m stumped on this one, Tezmac. Actually, what I did is I typed “Tezmac” as a username on ICQ. From there I found a website. Once I noticed that there were Reel Big Fish songs on the site, I knew it was you. Yes, I am good. 😃 ---

You people are kidding me, right? There is no way at least half of you aren’t cheating, googling bastards! I got exactly _three_ of these - Rush, Gordon Lightfoot, and Bob Marley. I can’t be this out of touch, can I? Could I be that much of a pop culture ignoramus? :eek: ---

I have a good taste in music, I like variety, so I basically listen to everything. Tezmac, however, you’ve stumped even me. I even tried to cheat and came up with nothing. 😕 Save this thread!!! Don’t let it end! ---

Christmas Song, Dave Matthews Band. Yeah, I cheated. The fact that people here didn’t know a DMB tune is just a testament to their good taste. 😉 NEW LYRIC: “Well I asked my friend where is that black smoke comin’ from ? He just coughed and changed the subject and said oh wa I think it might snow some So I left him sippin’ his tea an’ I jumped in my chariot And rode off to see just why and who could it be this time.” ---

_L.A. Freeway_ – Jerry Jeff Walker Ironically, I am a HUGE DMB fan…I guess I just had a brain fart? Well, you started off with nothing, And you’re proud that you’re a self-made man. And your friends they all come crawlin’, Slap you on the back and say, “Please, please.” Yes, Tezmac, if we were keeping points, you’d be winning. ---

Stuck in the Middle With You - Stealers Wheel Slight nitpick - L.A. Freeway is a Guy Clark song. Stick up your hands, you must stand and deliver My stomach’s empty, my clothes are all torn Open your heart to the joys of the giver Only your pockets are terribly worn ---

_Her Ghost in the Fog_ – Cradle of Filth Slight nitpick–the song “L.A. Freeway” was ALSO done by Jerry Jeff Walker. “Drink Sangria in the park, And then later, when it gets dark, We go home.” What movie is THIS from??? 😉 ---
