"Name That Tune" - Reno Jones, 2000
This morning, on my way to work, my iPod Nano shuffled through 10 of the songs within a playlist I created called (very imaginatively) "Favorites". And I had an idea...somewhat inspired by a contest called "PopMaster" that BBC Radio 2 runs every weekday morning on Ken Bruce's show.
I'm going to give you either a phrase or a full sentence from the lyrics of each of the 10 songs I listened to this morning. Can any of you identify any of them? I'll warn you that a few of them might be a bit tricky!
Song #1: "...a lady suffragette."
Song #2: "You let my love fly free."
Song #3: "You cannot hold a lover that is gone."
Song #4: "It doesn't matter where you've been as long as it was deep."
Song #5: "...and I won't be a fool no more."
Song #6: "In fact, it's cold as hell."
Song #7: "...when the sidewalks are safe for the little guy."
Song #8: "But when it comes to being happy, we are."
Song #9: "I was spreading my life too thin."
Song #10: "The cars below my street take me away piece by piece."
Let me know if you have any ideas!

Blimey! Those are tricky. Is #1 "Jet" by Paul McCartney and Wings from the Band on the Run album?
Yes, Gavin -- good! Now ONLY 9 more to go!
Janet
Here goes nothing!
Song #1: Jet, Paul McCartney & Wings
Song #2: Caught Up In The Rapture, Anita Baker
Song #3: Snowin' on Raton, Townes Van Zandt
Song #4: Just What I Needed, The Cars.. one of my favourites!
Song #5: The Very Last Time. Utopia
Song #6: Rocket Man, Elton John .. one of the best!
Song #7: Third World Man, Steely Dan
Song #8: My Guy, Mary Wells
Song #9: Hard Habit To Break, Chicago
Song #10: Get Miles, Gomez
That is some varied taste in music that you have there Janet.
The "Kid" gets the grand prize!!! I'll let it pass that it was actually the Robert Earl Keen version of "Snowin' On Raton" that I was listening to -- you would have had no way to know that!
Well done!
Should I do this again some time, folks?
Janet
Those were hard! I love Rocket Man...definitely do it again!
Those were tricky, I only knew #8, My Guy.
I'm pretty good at naming a song if I hear the tune, but definitely harder when it's just the lyrics.
