Number 2 is 'Run for your Life' by The Beatles.

Number 3- is that 'I am a Rock' by Simon and Garfunkel?

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Right on both counts!

[anzubird.livejournal.com]

3 is Simon and Garfunkel, the name will come to me soon

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

It is, but Angel beat you to it with both, alas.

You should know a couple of these others, I think.

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

Theme: coming of age?

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Nope, although it might be a secret hidden theme. I'd have to think about it.

[anzubird.livejournal.com]

7- the cars, you might think

[peachespig.livejournal.com]

I'm a little late... did no one get e: Don McLean, American Pie?

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

They did not. That's all yours.

[ratgrl.livejournal.com]

8. The Psychic, Crash Test Dummies.

[madlori.livejournal.com]

Hey. e could also be "The Saga Begins" by Weird Al.

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

It could, but that doesn't fit the theme.

[peachespig.livejournal.com]

I like the theme, because I can't figure it out... very tricksy.

This isn't a "Songs my a capella group sang" or other theme I'll never get, is it?

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

No, I think anyone should be able to get this one. It doesn't require any inside knowledge, anyway.

[grue23.livejournal.com]

theme - coming of age

[peachespig.livejournal.com]

luvmoose tried that a while ago :)

I was thinking along that line, but I don't see how King of Pain fits anyway....

[grue23.livejournal.com]

theme: Catholic mythology. the King, the Virgin, the Spirit.. and.. um.. the pie.

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Father, Son, and Holy Sharona?

No.

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

Theme: best known hit for each artist?

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

Although I'd argue that didn't fit for The Police. That would be either Don't Stand So Close to Me or Every Breath You Take.

[plantgirl.livejournal.com]

#9 Even the Losers, Tom Petty

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Yes indeedy. :)

Thanks for voting in my little poll! If you want to point your FL to it, that would be very cool -- I'm trying to get a broad sample.

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

I have to guess that #1 is called Wedding Day?

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Close. Not quite.

You own this album, btw. At least I think you do.

[peachespig.livejournal.com]

Ahh! 4 is "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" from South Park!

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

:)

I once saw someone wearing a t-shirt that said "WWBBD?"
