After a long delay, I am finally ready with the next edition of “What’s on My MP-3 Player?” This edition contains songs that all begin with the letter S. Here are the other clues and ules:
all songs are in alphabetical order
most, but not all, songs are popular hits from the 50s through the 90s
the title of the song will not appear in the lyrics given
please identify both the name of the song as well as the original artist
Good luck!
“Wind was blowing, time stood still”
“All across the nation, such a strange vibration”
“Believe me when I say that I got something for his punk-ass”
“You can spread the word in your Coupe de Ville”
“Fight the break of dawn”
“My kid’s in the backseat, got a graveyard cough”
“Just call Roseanne and its a hell of a show”
“Top coat, top hat, but I don’t worry 'cause my wallet’s fat”
“Because I can’t stop messing with the danger zone”
“When children play, seems like you end up alone”
“Sick of hauling your love around, wanna run the train alone”
“Time cast a spell on you, but you won’t forget me”
“I can’t help it; you’re so treacherous”
“Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?”
“Meanwhile back in the year one”
“Where depression’s just status quo”
“Sheriff John Stone, why don’t you leave me alone?”
“With the lights out, its less dangerous”
“Belinda was mine 'til the time that I found her, holding Jim, loving him.”
“I hear a song from another time, and fade away”
“Somebody fine will come along and make me forget about loving you”
“I pick up my friends and I hope we won’t die”
“Bullet holes in the cemetary walls”
“He ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirt”
“If you are confused, check with the sun”
“There’s a permanent crease in your right-and-wrong”
“Make a meal of some bright-eyed kid”
“When I’m throwing punches in the air”
“Be cool or be cast out”
“Twenty years of schooling and they put you on the day shift”
“This mellow fat chick just put my spine out of place”
“Yeah, we got friendly, down in the sand”
“Played it 'til my fingers bled”
“And the jukebox kept on playing Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”
“How long, how long must we sing this song”?
“I fell in love with you, before the second show”
“Before he married, mommy served in the WACs in the Philippines”
Wow! Over half of them solved in under an hour. Way to go!

Usually I’m pretty good at this, but all the ones I knew were figured out with the quickness.
Frosty:
“Make a meal of some bright-eyed kid”
Is it “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty?
#15 Skating Away, Jethro Tull
#34: Summer Rain, Johnny Rivers
#36 Superstar, can’t remember the artist but it’s playing in my mind right now.
I think #2 is San Francisco, but it’s out of order alphabetically so maybe the lyric was used elsewhere as well???
#22 is “South Side” by Moby#37 is “Surrender” by Cheap Trick
[QUOTE=Cub Mistress#36 Superstar, can’t remember the artist but it’s playing in my mind right now.

Superstar is by The Carpenters. (Hey, its a good song!)
And my bad. The correct answer to #1 should be “Salsbury Hill”, not “Solsbury Hill”, which would make San Francisco in alphabetical order for #2 .
7 more correct answers leaves only 10 unsolved lryics to go.

Okay, I’ll get the Springsteen. 6 is Seeds and 24 is Spirit In The Night.

I’ve always seen it “Solsbury.”
Well, all of the ones I know are already gone except -
Shooting Shark - Blue Oyster Cult
Neil Diamond - Solitary Man
is the only other one I know. I would have played earlier, but all the internet in town was out for nine or so hours today.

#16 is “Skid Row” from Little Shop of Horrors .
I always see these too late. I’ll just add two corrections: it is “Solsbury Hill” (not a misspelling of Salisbury; there really is a Solsbury Hill), and it’s “mellow-thighed chick” in “Suffragette City.”
I always see these too late as well. (Not that it would matter, I don’t know lyrics.) “Salisbury” is a song on the Uriah Heep album of the same name, but those aren’t the lyrics. Biffy is right; Peter Gabriel wrote “Solisbury Hill”.by Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell. The definitive version is Rita Coolidge’s on “Mad Dogs and Englishmen”. (I’m just sayin…)
Good catch, Snooooopy. That was a hard one. Four more to go.

You are absolutely correct regarding “Solsbury Hill”. It was mislabled in my MP-3 player. And thanks for the correction on Suffragette City (although I like my version better).
