Music Lyrics Trivia (google users will feel shame)

Wine or honey, depending on whether you’re listening to Jimmy Rogers or Marvin Gaye. <BZZZT> Five yard penalty for improper questioning. :wally

EASY LISTENING: Why can’t I see my black boyfriend any more? [1]

IT’S TRICKY - TRICKY, TRICKY, TRICKY: For what would a woman share a lot of beautiful sights and fresh wonderful feelings (and the joy they bring)?

IT’S HARD TO EXPLAIN: If I was small and vulnerable, what were you?

[1] No, I don’t have a black boyfriend, or any other kind of boyfriend - it’s first person lyrics. Now hush, already, and answer the damn question.

Because you’re only Society’s Child.

Damn, Evil Death, that’s right! feels shame

a cup of coffee and your wedding ring - Cowboy Junkies

You load this, and all you get is another day older and deeper in debt

16 tons?

When I numb, there’s no telling what I’ll do when I’m what?

And let me fix that line:

When I’m numb, natural one, there’s no telling what we’ll do when we’re what?

Close enough. Still the stinky hard one to get if you want to impress me, though.

Well, Evil Death, she’ll share them all for a cup of coffee
and to wear your ring.

So, why did the people in the village call the kids away?

When we’re free (and you may as well crash with me).

New ones:

  • Take care of everything, I’m leaving this.

  • Praising our leaders, we’re getting in tune, the music’s played by the madmen. What do I want to be?

I want to be Forever Young.
New:
If a friend in need’s a friend indeed, what is better?

A friend with weed. But what keeps me alive and what makes my back burn?

The fire in my eyes.

Here is another clue for the first one I posed. It is your baby and B.B. King who are drowning, who is it going to be?

An easier one. Whose lover is a farming man and an African man?

I’ll give this one a repost, in my own attempt to keep the thread alive a little longer.
[sub]Yeah, I’m a sucker for trivia games.[/sub]

“It’s a rainy night in Paris, and I’m sitting by the Sienne. It’s a pleasure to be…” what?

And an easy one, just 'cause:
“Here we are, born to be kings…”
What are we now?

Bump…because I know y’all know this song.

Hint: I also left a note on his dresser.

Me too, Skeezix. :slight_smile:

Your wedding ring

I’m leaving only these in my little town…

Some of mine from the first page never did get answered, so just in case you were wondering:

Wake him up and shake his hand; whose hand? James Ensor. (“Meet James Ensor”, They Might Be Giants)
It isn’t love that makes the world go 'round, you see; what is it and who shouldn’t I tell? The power of gravity, but please, don’t tell Mary Jean. (“Gravity” (from Schoolhouse Rock), The Tokens)
Beef is king, mom’s queen, and kids go free; where? The family restaurant. (“Family Restaurant”, Uncle Bonsai)

and a couple new ones:

Hurricane Bob is petering out, and Charlotte’s on the way. What am I doing?
Under what circumstances would I buy you an exotic pet, like a llama or an emu?

Under what circumstances would I buy you an exotic pet, like a llama or an emu?
If you had a million dollars?

how about…

Who will flash you a smile and take your teeth as deposit?

Who blew up the bus and started World War III?

Where’s the fire?

Where do they have the best computers and coffee and smack?

The princes of the universe.

It’s a pleasure to be soaking in the European rain. And despite the band’s name, we are in fact “princes of the universe”.

Here’s another one: I know a place in which, despite the fact that nobody is crying or worrying there, certain types of smiling faces are conspicuous by their absence. Which ones?

And to rephrase a previous unanswered one: I’ve got myself a place in a boxcar, and I’ve taken my guitar to pass some time. Where am I, and how’s the weather?

Oops – beaten to the punch on the Queen song. Oh, and Skeezix: it’s spelled “Seine”.
