Rules are simple.

1. Individual posts lyric.

2. Another individual guesses the song.

3. He who guesses the correct song goes next.

Google is discouraged.

Perhaps this should go in Cafe Society. I couldn’t decide which forum was most appropriate.

First lyric:

_“Six is having problems  
Adjusting to his clone status”_

No, I’m not.

Oh, n/m.

You probably intended for players to make their guesses from personal knowledge, rather than a search of teh Interwebs, right (I checked, and it was trivially easy to get the answer)? If so, you may need to find an easier lyric, given over 100 views and no guesses so far!

Okay, here’s an easier one:

_Welcome to the jungle  
We got your fun and games_

“Welcome to the Jungle,” Guns n’ Roses

Next one:

Go insane, go insane  
Throw some glitter  
Make it rain on 'em  
Let me see them hands  
Let me, let me see them hands

Note: “hands” sounds an awful lot like “Hanes” when it’s sung here.

Hm…not playing at the moment, but need answer fast. A co-worker just threw out the lyric ‘Venture a guess, in the sunshine’ expecting I could ‘get it’, but I have no idea.

Google wasn’t my friend, either. Help?

Either you misheard him, or he’s making a pun.

The first line of the chorus to America’s “Ventura Highway” goes “Ventura Highway in the sunshine”

Ahhhhh, yes, that’s exactly what he’s getting at. Now I feel really silly for not picking up on it.
