Easier Quote Quiz
OK, due to the negative feedback from the quote quiz earlier this morning, here is a newer quote quiz. It’s easier than the one immediately below. In this one, I am using better-known songs.
No Googling. No peeking at other comments.
Here’s your first subject. Go!
1
It could be made into a monster2
Get on with the fascination3
Somebody told me
This is the place
Where everything’s better4
Remember I’ll always be true5
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight6
They say the point demons guard is
An ocean grave, for all the brave7
‘Cause you need to
Be back in the arms of a good friend8
Drunk in the gardens and the graves9
There’s a small boat made of china
Going nowhere on the mantelpiece10
Listen you
Take your hands from her head
Good luck. You should do better on this one.
#3: Walk on the Ocean.
#8: a Gin Blossoms song whose name I can’t remember because, to be honest, the entire album is blurred together in my memory.

Man, with a Floyd/Rush intro Im thinking “I so own this quiz”…..sadly I dont, Damn
Comment by D-lo — 2/15/2008 @ 5:27 pm
I knew #1 was PF’s Have a Cigar, but that was it.
#10’s lyric sounds intriguing.

#10:”Is she really going out w/him?” (Joe Jackson)
One of the most underrated musicians of the past thirty years. Couldn’t be categorized, always creative, always thoughtful, frequently hilarious. I wish I had gotten a recording contract and then cut “On Your Radio”:
See me, hear me
Don’t you know you can’t get near me
You can only hope to hear me
On your radio, on your radio, yeah
You’re gonna hear me on your radio

No better 2nd time around. I only got the first one, “Have a Cigar” by Pink Floyd.

Ha! Steve is wrong!
Comment by otcconan — 2/16/2008 @ 8:36 am
And I should have known #2 since I used to play that song in a band.
Comment by otcconan — 2/16/2008 @ 8:37 am
Now…post sound clips of the songs’ main guitar riff, and I’ll own you ALL.
