low_delta | friday fun - guess the songs 2

Give me the title of each song. Bonus points for guessing the artist or source that did the song on my playlist.

1.X You blow a fuse/The devil cuts loose/What's the use/Of falling in love

2.X I've had my fill of love/From below and above

3. I am woman, hear me roar - if you don't open my door

4.X
Plethora
Macadamia
Gazebo

5.X
He conquered fear and he conquered hate
He turned dark night into day

6.X
The Kid, he rolls his superbomb that would paralyze a moose
Pearl takes one hit with her famous lungs and *whoosh* that bomb's defused

7. Everybody says I've got great balls of fire

8.X You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile

9. Come on try and move those feet along/Fifty million Frenchmen can’t be wrong

10.
Next day she woke up rosy, and she snuggled up so cozy
when she asked me how I liked it it hurt me to admit...

11.X
I look to the sea
Reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had

12.
Babies sailing down the Nile
A recipe for locust pie

13.
There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers

14.
You might as well be walking on the sun
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
I get knocked down, but I get up again

6. The Great Smoke-Off? Last I heard that, it was on the Dr. Demento Show.
"flicking out his bones and teeth.. like so many stems and seeds."

11. Cartman would have to stop and complete this one.

Styx, "I'm Sailing Away" - from The Grand Illusion.

11: What's your final answer?

Come Sail Away, by Styx. (but that's a cheat 'cause someone else already said "Come Sail Away".) It is off of the Grand Illusion album.

Title but not artist.

Yes, it is "The Smoke-Off."

3. Helen Reddy: "I Am Woman?"

7. Jerry Lee Lewis: "Great Balls of Fire?" (I'm just guessing here)

9. "Battle of New Orleans?" I don't think that's right, but it sounds good...

Nope. You did much better when we were in the classic rock genre.

Well, I resisted the urge to google - obviously - lol

:-D

1.
2.
3. I Am Woman--Helen Reddy
4. Bulbous Bouffant (One of the funniest things in the world)

6. The Smoke Off or the Great Smoke Off or summach. I know for a fact it's my uncle Shelby.
7. (I've Got) Big Balls--AC/DC
8.
9.
10.
11. Come Sail Away--Styx

14. Intergalactic--Those guys, what are they called? The Beastie Boys

4. yes.
6. Yes.
7 & 11. Title but not Artist.

I am sooooo confused.

You got the original artist, but not the one who plays the version that I'm listening to. Sorry, I should have explained that a little better. I copied down the lyrics to several songs on one of my Winamp playlists.

You're still in the lead so far, though. :-)

2 I'm Tired...
Lilly Von Shtupp! From the musical sceene, Blazing Saddles.
"Anosser shnitzengrooben?"
I know I've heard 9, but I can't place it.

No thank you. Fifteen is my limit on Schnitzengruben.

I never knew how Schnitzengruben was spelled before!

How could I get #5 and not get "I'm tired"?!

> 1. You blow a fuse/The devil cuts loose/What's the use/Of falling in love
It's Bjork but I don't know the title

> 3. I'm a woman, hear me roar - if you don't open my door
Is it Sania Twain?

> 9. Come on try and move those feet along/Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong
This is an anoying one because I saw this quoted in the newspaper yesterday and I can't remember who they said it was.

> 14.
> You might as well be walking on the sun
> Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
> I get knocked down, but I get up again
Tubthumping by Chumbawumba

1. Yes, it's Bjork. "It's so Quiet."

9. I suspect the song I have stole it from somewhere else.

1) It's Oh So Quiet - Bjork
4) Bulbous Bouffant - Radio Free Vestibule (or The Vestibules, depending on when it was released)
8) You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch - How the Grinch Stole Christmas, sung by one Mr. Tony the Tiger.
14) Ooooh. Tricky tricky. Clearly a medley of some kind, as it has bits from Walking on the Sun by Smash Mouth, Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys, and Tubthumping by Chumbawamba. I'm pretty sure that it's The Alternative Polka by Weird Al Yankovic.

1. Yes!
2. Yes!
3. Yes! Is it really the same guy who voices the tiger?
4. Your powers of deduction are inscrutable, but that's not the title.

3) Yes, it is. His name is... damn it! Thurl Ravenscroft is his name, methinks. It took me a couple of minutes of braincombing to remember it, though.

4) D'oh!

4. Inscrutable means "mysterious." D'oh!

11 - styx - come sail away, album - grand illusion

Title but not artist.

bleagh. i don't know any bands cheesy enough to cover that, unless it's the brown derbies ;)

5. The theme to the movie, Blazing Saddles
11. "Seasons in the sun"?

You're the only one who's gotten number 5. For bonus points, can you name who sang it?

Unfortunately, you didn't get 11. Three people have gotten it, but none nailed the artist.

Yay! Especially b/c that line bothered me all the way through my shower this morning.

I wouldn't know who sang it unless I resorted to IMDb, or the video. It's someone surprising, i remember. Cleavon Little, as a guess? [doubt it] :)

Wasn't Cleavon Little. I'll let you know if someone else gets it.

(Whoops, forgot Cyn was logged in.)

Ah! That explains my inbox! I thought at first, "Wow! They really are close--they're psychically able to answer the exact same way!"

I know nothin from nothin about rock....but I did recognize Helen Reddy's "I Am woman".

Nope, sorry.

1. Bjork ~ It's Oh So Quiet
2. Madeline Kahn ~ I'm Tired (from Blazing Saddles)
3. Helen Redding ~ I am Woman
5. Theme to Blazing Saddles
11. Styx ~ Come Sail Away
14. Beastie Boys ~ Intergalactic

I'm sure you looked at the answers and comments already, but...

Yes: 1, 2, 5
No: 3, 14 (others answered the same as you)
Close enough: 11

Thanks for playing!
