Snagged from Snailbones. It's a Sunday, so... *shrugs as if that explains everything*
Some of these are quite embarassing... in my defense I can only say that some of these songs were acquired for and by other people. lol  I'd forgotten some of them were still in my library....

I am really truly terrible with lyrics, but I recognize two songs!!

#9 Kinks: Dedicated Follower of Fashion. I love the Kinks & have seen them a number of time (long ago).

#8 is Windmills of your Mind but I wonder which version you're listing to :) There are versions and there are versions...

[spotsycool]

Yay! :)
I have two songs by the Kinks... that one is my favorite, actually. It's hilarious!
Mm, I have three versions of that song, but that one was the Sting version. I prefer Noel Harrison's version, though.

[elmey]

I haven't heard the Noel Harrison version. I have a CD of Dusty Springfield's greatest hits that I listen to in the car and Windmills is on there. Wasn't it the theme to the Steve McQueen's
Thomas Crown Affair movie?

[spotsycool]

They have it on YT. Here's the link if you'd like to listen to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEhS9Y9HYjU

Yes, it was. :) Good movie, although the ending kind of left you hanging.

I barely recognized 8-9-10 and haven't a clue who sang them. I'm stuck in my genre of music. eheheee

[spotsycool]

hehehe Some of these songs aren't very common songs so I'll be surprised if anyone guesses them.
I'm surprised no one has guessed #5 yet... I thought everybody was going to guess it. lol

[mrua7]

haven't a clue, but that's me. I don't know the names to songs even from when I was growing up, except for some Beatles. Can sing along with the lyrics if a song is played, but that's about it. :D

[snailbones]

Grrr! I'm sure I should know #1.

Is #4 something by Gerry Rafferty? Bring It Home, maybe?

You've got me on the others though!

[spotsycool]

Maybe it will come to you later. :)
Yep, it sure is! Wow, I didn't think anyone was going to guess that one. *beams*

Heh, some of the others are a bit... uncommon. ;)

[snailbones]

Blimey! Though I didn't remember it quite correctly - but it's been a million years since I listened to Gerry Rafferty, and then only for Baker's Street... isn't it weird the things that stay in your brain? *g*

[spotsycool]

hehe It is indeed. Just the other day I was singing a song that I haven't heard since I was like five. No clue where that came from... lol

Btw, there are more songs on the list now... I didn't read the directions properly (I do that a lot, sadly... my teachers are always at their wits end with me for that very reason) and only posted the lyrics for 12 songs instead of 15. Oop's...

[svetlanacat4]

Is 14 a song called Hush Hush? I have it by The Corries...

[spotsycool]

Yes, it is, but I have the version by North Sea Gas.

[spotsycool]

Ooh, that's lovely... thank you!
I'd send you the North Sea Gas version, but I can't find it on YT.

Is #10 "I Got A Woman" by Ray Charles? or is it "Gold Digger" by Kanye West? LOL :P

[spotsycool]

LOL Yes, it's I Got a Woman by Ray Charles. :D
