Bingo!
The doctor told me to try to have fun at all costs. Why do I think he’s an idiot?
You prefer to believe hat it has no effect on you, but it would be more accurate to say that you have an unhealthy dependency on this. What is it?
If I perish before tomorrow, I’ll be quite the joyous ghost. Who will I chase, and where?
You’re going to have to face it, you’re addicted to love…!
Both right. It’s after 3 AM. Why am I still up playing this game? Wait, don’t answer that. 
He’s a fool, 'cuz nothing compares 2 U.
I changed the tracks underneath the train. I also changed the name of this town.
Yes indeed.
Which demon has me in its sway?
(A softball if there ever was one…)
There may be no end to the things that you can do, but what one thing do you have to lay off of?
As your boogie man, what am I hear to do? And when?
What are the chances of anything coming from Mars?
My BLUE SUEDE SHOES!
A million to one, he said.
After you push the pineapple, what do you do? or ago do do do, as it were
Hi, all, I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
I can only stay a short while tonight. Gotta spend at least a LITTLE time in the real world once in a while. I’m in a bind, I’m way behind! (Who am I? 
Oh, wait, we already had a question about THAT song.)
But this brings up the subject of tormented souls. Here are two, by the same singer:
(1) My personal declaration of independence: I don’t care what you say anymore! What don’t I need you telling me? Whose life is this anyway?
(2) I lament the deficiencies of my education, finding it wondrous that I can think at all. What did I learn in high school? What better source of knowledge do I see now?
In other news:
Here’s a song about another supposedly real-life happening, sort of:
(3) The winter holiday season grows nigh! Once upon a time, my friends and I went to a Thanksgiving party at the living quarters of another friend (who, incidentally, runs a restaurant with anything you want on the menu). We helped her take out the garbage, only to get arrested later (just me, not my friends).
(a) What did I get arrested for?
(b) Why did the prosecution’s case collapse?
(c) Now, having an arrest record can really f. u. your life even if you aren’t convicted, but my arrest ultimately turned out to be a blessing. Why?
(d) What real-life person in this song later played himself in the movie? I mean, what other real-life person?
Speaking of people playing themselves in movies (okay, that’s just a little off-topic here, sorry): Marcel Marceau once played bit-part as himself in a movie, in which he actually spoke out loud! What did he say?
Back to holiday songs…
(4) I made myself a Jewish-holiday-themed toy, but had to wait for it to dry. What did I make it out of?
All right, another easy softball, even easier that Blue Suede Shoes:
(5) I rocked my baby to sleep with a lullaby, in what very exposed outdoor venue?
I’m here to do whatever I can. Be it early mornin’, late afternoon, or midnight, it’s never too soon.
Here’s another one that’s been stuck in my ear for the last few weeks, now maybe I’ll stick it in all your ears too, dear dopers:
(1) A smallish sinusoidal waveform unexpectedly appeared in an undisturbed liquid medium. The two most usual causes were notably absent, though. (Of course, that’s why the medium was undisturbed! ) What were those absent causes?
Hint:
Jerry Garcia
(2) This one borders on NSFW, maybe it really is, so I conceal it in a spoiler tag. Dear dopers, read if and only if you dare! The more genteel among you[sup][who?][/sup] will be shocked, SHOCKED!
This female singer once had love, but seems to have confused it with mere flatulence.
(a) Perhaps because her lover was apparently an alien silicon-based life form, having a heart made of what?
(b) Where was it painful? (Note: Many of this singer’s performances omit this line.)
CORRECTION
From a few posts above: These two are NOT by the same singer! (Oops.) Sorry about that.

Don’t know the first spoilered song, but the second is heart of glass, which can be a pain in the ass.
Maggenpye, you some smart!
The better source of knowledge in Kodachrome:
I can see the writing on the wall
The “first spoilered song” (miniature sinusoidal waveforms . . .)
“Ripple” by Jerry Garcia / Grateful Dead
“Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow”
Now go back a few pages and look at the “ornithology” quiz I posted yesteday. Somebody got the black bird and the blue bird, but nobody got the other three yet!
Do you know the (slightly off-topic) Marcel Marceau question?
I’m here to do whatever I can be it early morning, late afternoon or midnight it’s never too soon.
I see that Sodalite already answered this.:smack:
Bless you, tumbleddown, for getting this one right! I don’t wanna think about that centipede no more. sob
+1
What do I get? And why?
Marcel Marceau had the only speaking part in Silent Movie.
No-ne’s got the inapple question either.
Not a deadhead, never heard ripple.
