Is one hanging? I don’t know. But I got another one. I don’t think anyone would get it without a clue. “Lose my soul, feed my head …” Spoilered clue: Foo Fighter’s song … comes right after the title of the song. I didn’t even know the real words until I just looked them up a few minutes ago. ---

Biggirl, you are correct. It was “Undercover Angel.” The line goes “Undercover angel, midnight fantasy. I’ve never had a dream that made sweet love to me.” I could never convince my sister and cousin that Tennessee had no context in that line, but that fantasy made perfect sense. ---

**Cuckoorex** , I gotta pass…I’m stumped. Okay, this one is hard, so I’ll tell you right off, it’s an Elton John song. I really thought I heard it this way, but my excuse is, Elton’s got some _really_ funky inflections on some of his tunes… “_Baby doll, an’ she’s so blendin’_” ---

> [@Biggirl](#): > > Dirty Deeds by AC/DC. I know this is right because thunder genie is what he really says according to my ears. I always heard “dunder chief”. I don’t know what I thought dunder was supposed to mean. How about this one? “Gimme the Beach Boys and free my soul” My dad had a good laugh at me over that one. I tried to play it off like I was singing it wrong on purpose, as a joke, but that’s really what I thought it was. I just thought the singer was a big fan of the Beach Boys. ---
