I have seen this with movie quotes, so let’s try song lyrics. Do not cheat. Do not Google the lyrics. Also, you must name song and artist/band title that made the song popular. You can add one if you guess one right. I have broke mine into difficulty levels. Good luck **Hard** 1. Hey…girl Take out the dagger And let’s have a stab at the sexual revolution Hey girl 2. We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP A big ol’ jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV 3. Go there now, but I hear they sung Their f\*ck me and marry me young Some wild idea and a big white bed, now 4. Gives a special interpretation to the grand old hymn “The Old Rugged Cross” Chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web they weave as they reveal their Innermost selves with the outpouring of their hearts 5. Look around you All around you Can’t you hear them? Cries of the innocent \*\*Medium \*\* 6) There’s nothing wrong with Ohio Except the snow and the rain I really like Drew Carey And I’d love to see the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame 7) You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are. And when your hand is on your heart, You’re nearly a good laugh,Almost a joker, With your head down in the pig bin, 8) Now don’t let it convince you, don’t take it to heart Compromise and realize you can never really run everything you start You can’t deal me the aces and think I wouldn’t play 9) Sippin bud, gettin perved and getting dubbed Gats and hugs, mean mugs and shoulder shrugs And it’s all because, I accumulated enough stress Just to navigate it, fully decorated on chrome 10) And I don’t know where I’m going. I just want to be left alone. Well, when this train ends I’ll try again, But I’m leaving my woman at home **Easy** 1. Beginning to think that I’m wasting time I don’t understand the things I do The world outside looks so unkind Now I’m counting on you To carry me through 2. Did you write the book of love, And do you have faith in God above, If the Bible tells you so? Do you believe in rock ’n roll, Can music save your mortal soul, And can you teach me how to dance real slow? 3. People always told me be careful of what you do And don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts And mother always told me be careful of who you love And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth 4. seesaw swingin’ with the boys in the school and your feet flyin’ up in the air singin’ “hey diddle diddle” with your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn’t care so I took a big chance 5. Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Good luck to all SSG Schwartz ---

I just wanted to add that I don’t know any of those. I can continue the lyrics to the easy ones, but couldn’t tell you a title, and sure as hell can’t name the artist. Even myself, the band nerd for the last 10 years (omg I’m so old!) couldn’t think of the author of the SSB. ---
