[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

er grue23

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

theme: aging

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[grue23.livejournal.com]

is #2 "Really Heavy Thing" or perhaps "Mobster With Concrete Feet"?

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Um, that would be a no. ;) Thanks for the laugh, though.

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

It occurs to me that "Really Heavy Thing" might make a good TMBG song.

[letters-to-ed.livejournal.com]

8. Eurythmics "Sisters are doing it for themselves"

[letters-to-ed.livejournal.com]

2. Duran Duran "Drowning Man"

[grue23.livejournal.com]

Is (e) David Byrne? Or the Talking Heads?

[plantgirl.livejournal.com]

Is #9 by REM?

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

It surely is.

[i-iambe.livejournal.com]

a. My Sharona? - The Knack

[i-iambe.livejournal.com]

Nevermind. Doesn't fit the theme.

[peachespig.livejournal.com]

1 is "Take Me Home" by Phil Collins (I think it's him and not Genesis). Whoa!

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Correct (on both counts).

Not admitting that I own the Phil Collins greatest hits album, really I'm not.

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

a: has to be called "Older". Have no clue who it's by.

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

But by the same measure, I'd guess TMBG.
