Ani DiFranco did the original, Alana Davis did the cover - 32 Flavors
“So needless to say
I’m odds and ends again
But it’s me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is O.K.”
Can I offer bonus points here?
Name the band that covered the song with their label “Tooth and Nail Records.”
Pish posh! This is easy. The song was originally recorded by A-Ha. The song is entitled “Take On Me.” Reel Big Fish did a cover of the song for the soundtrack of the movie BASEketball in 1998. BASEketball was written and directed by, and also starred Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the ever-famous “South Park”
How’s that for bonus points??
“Now we’re back at the homestead
Where the air makes you choke
and people don’t know you
and trust is a joke”
Bonus points if you can name the lead singer of the band.

“Who’s got the funk
When you’re feeling low down
Who’s going to love you
When there’s no one else around”

Thin Lizzy – She Knows
This city desert makes you feel so cold,
It’s got so many people but it’s got no soul,
And it’s taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty
Am I only dreaming?
Am I only scheming?
Stars above me, shining brightly.

Tubas in the Moonlight by The Bonzo Dog Band
Don’t eat red berries, they might be poison
Try to keep a fire going, use your coat to collect water when it rains
Build your shelter facing away from the prevailing winds
Use a mirror to try to signal boats or planes
You’re shitting me.
What was the RIGHT answer then?
I just saw a CD on the Tooth and Nail label, but I don’t remember what band…fuck.
You stumped me!
MxPx would have been the correct answer 
Ooooh oooooh, so whats my prize for stumping you? 
Heh. First, are you male or female? LOL
Hehehe, guy’s gotta love any question that starts like that…
Has everyone been stumped? I have no clue what song this is…
I too, am stumped.
As for you, Tezmac, what do I get if I guess that your name is Joseph? Ha. Am I right?
welp… I suppose I [italic]COULD[/italic] cheat…
Please, go ahead and cheat verbenabeast.
Or Tezmac can cough up the answer and put up some new lyrics.
Or the game can die, which would be a shame.
Okay. I will admit mine was a tad on the obscure side, but I figured there had to be some Andy Breckman fans out there.
The song is A Desperate Attempt to Make the Critics’ List of the Ten Records They’d Bring to a Desert Island
Here is a much easier one
I live, I breath, I let it rain on me
I sleep, I wake, I try hard not to break
I crave, I love , I’ve waited long enough
I try as hard as I can
Not Pretty Enough --Kasey Chambers
A life is time, they teach us growing up
The seconds ticking killed us all
A million years before the fall
Yes you were right Marla…you must have found my resume… :O)

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, “Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?”

I come to you with empty hands
I guess I just forgot again
I only have my love to send…

I wants to know what you’re doin’ tonight
Wish I could see if everything is all right
Hold you long in my arms until it’s light
Your smilin’ face would make a wonderful sight
