Backlog update!

1. Everbody’s doin’ it  
Please don’t let them ruin it om

2. Face facts/James Brown was old/Til Eric and Rak did ‘I Know You Got Soul’

3. Well, you should try to smile, dear  
Get yourself a pet deer,  
Dog,  
Cat,  
Bird,  
Pig,  
Lamb,  
Horse,  
Cow  
Fish,  
a Goldfish  
a Mouse!

4. “I love my house and car/I love my house and car/I love my house and car”

5. I just wish my life could be  
as strange as a conspiracy  
I hold out hope but there’s no way  
of being what I want to be

6. “Bullshit is bullshit/It just goes by different names”

147:  
I tell you I love you  
But you won’t believe it’s true  
More precious than silver  
More precious than diamond rings or anything that I could give you

159: Cigarette smoke was annoying and my mood was fit for a bath

201: No sleepin’, she waits tables late, tryin’ to stay tough  
Never ending, however long she waits, it’s just not enough

203). My favorite she-wolf  
knocking on my door  
she likes to roll the rug up  
and get down on the floor

1. I will never love again the way I loved you  
And I will never cry again like I did when I left you

211: Lost in a dream…I don’t know which way to go.

216: He had an old standby…not your average Betty  
She told me things that I guess I always knew  
(That one might be 1990…if it is, sorry)

218: Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves  
Get in our way, we’ll put you on your shelf

Ticket to Syria

Yup.

And since I sent the post before I could add this - you are in no way a pile of suck Hamadryad. I’ve just turned 33 and I’ve heard of very little of these… as is apparent I spend my youth listening to different stuff. So I’m way behind the rest of the class on this test.

1. Well you’ve got a lot of nerve to call yourselves a pioneer  
when you’re too god-damned conservative to take real chances

2. The panda club has an odds on bet  
Mr. music man needs a string quartet  
on the planet where the alphabet starts with Z

1. Oh Mickey You’re so Fine, You’re so Fine you blow my mind, **Hey Mickey**! Toni Basil

2. Some are like summer, coming back every year,  
Got your baby, got your blanket got your bucket of bear.  
I break into a grin from ear to ear and suddenly it’s perfectly clear.

3. There were times when I could have murdered her. But you know I would hate anything to happen to her. No I don’t want to see her.

Hey y’all, this thread finally dropped to page 2. Are we all played out? If so, can we get some answers to the unfinished questions, either from the original posters or from Google? I can’t stand to let these things hang out there!

Oh, and 223 is bucket of BEER, not bucket of BEAR. Sort of different.

I’m not letting this thread die, no sir…  
I don’t know any of the (still) unanswered ones, but I’ll throw a few more into the mix…

**226** :  
Hug me like a monkey-see, monkey-do

**227** :  
And so the conversation turned until the sun went down.

**228** :  
Words as weapons sharper than knives  
Makes you wonder how the other half dies

**229** :  
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile  
We’ll be there in just a while if you follow me

**230** :  
Neon lights, Nobel prize  
When a leader speaks that leader dies

#230: **Cult of Personality** by Living Colour  
231)Beside defying media too fast  
Instead of pushing palaces to fall  
Put that, put that, put that before all  
That this isn’t fortunate at all  
232)Money’s scarce, but family honor  
Brings it home brings it home  
And down the shop, the tongues they snicker  
TV dinners, beer and liquor…oh yeah  
Skeletons fall out of cupboards  
Curtains drawn fall open to allow  
The light shows up the dust  
That plays around your face
