- 3. I am human and I need to be loved, just like everybody else does
- 4. They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills
- 5. Watching the world wake up from history
- 6. To avoid complications, she never kept the same address, in conversation she spoke just like a baroness
- 7. Dance all night and keep the beat, don't you worry 'bout two left feet
- 8. It's a nice day to start again

- 15. I was wasted, and I was wastin' time
- 16. I don't know if you are lovin' some body, I only know it isn't mine

- 26. Traveling in a fried-out combie, on a hippie train, head full of zombie
- 27. I asked her for a date, she reluctantly agreed, then we went to my place and she never did leave
- 28. A beam of light comes shining down on you, shining down on you
- 29. You don't know me, but you make me so happy
- 30. You drop your drink, and then they bring you more
- 31. Can you see them, see right through them?, they have a shield, no secrets to reveal
- 32. Your long sweet body layin next to mine could certainly raise my spirits
- 33. No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women, no fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
- 34. We'll take your car, yes we will, we'll take your car and drive it

- 54. Oh I've tried to resist, being last on your list, but I'd rather be home feeling blue
- 55. He's a rebel and a runner, he's a signal turning green, he's a restless young man that wants to run a big machine
- 56. Now these fine ladies, they had a plan, they was out to meet the boys in the band

- 72. Come on, baby, do you do more than dance?
- 73. Time to play 'B' sides
- 74. Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
- 75. Some people claim that there's a woman to blame

- 99. All I can manage to push through my lips is a stream of absurdity, every word I intended to speak winds up locked in
- the circuitry
- 100. But where will he be tomorrow?
Author Comments:
This is a list that I received in an e-mail one day a few years back. It's known as the Ultimate Song Line Final.
All lyrics listedare popular songs from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Your job is to provide song title and artist.
- No two songs are by the same artist.
- Included are alternative, retro 80's, pop, rap, classic rock, etc. (no country)
- Music fans should be familiar with all of the songs (says the original writer . . . . )
- Not responsible for any typos (I tried to fix all the ones I saw)
- There is no answer key but I'll be posting my guesses in a few days, so be sure to guess as many as you can, because there are a few I'm not sure about.
Ok, here we go...I know a lot of these, but these are the ones that came to me right away...here are my guesses:
4. Life in the Fast Lane--The Eagles
8. White Wedding--Billy Idol
13. Lithium--Nirvana
19. Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town--Pearl Jam
23. Sweet Child Of Mine--Guns & Roses
25. Hurts so Good--John Cougar Mellencamp (or whatever he was calling himself in those days!)
36. Two Princes--Spin Doctors
48. Big Time--Peter Gabriel
50. Tiny Dancer--Elton John
53. Head Like a Hole--Nine Inch Nails
60. Get Back--Beatles
61. More than a Feeling--Boston
69. You Shook Me All Night Long--AC/DC
75. Margaritaville--Jimmy Buffett
77. Sister Christian--Night Ranger
82. Hey Jealousy--Gin Blossoms
85. Afternoon Delight--Starland Vocal Band
92. Ironic--Alanis Morrissette
I admit, I'm a child of the 80's. Now the ones that I couldn't quite put my finger on are going to bug me--thanks a lot! :-) Great list!
Finally, a lyric list with songs I know! Here goes:
#43-Pour Some Sugar on Me/Def Lepard;
#45-Bust a Move/Young MC (and I think it's "ladies look pretty");
#54-Saving All My Love For You/Whitney Houston;
#59-Summer of '69/Bryan Adams;
#74-Love in an Elevator/Aerosmith;
#81-Venus/Bananarama.
Great list. There are still a few that I know I know but will have to think about first. And Min beat me to a few of them.
You're right about #45. I fixed the line. Thanks.
Here's what they left me to get:
3. How Soon is Now? The Smiths
6. Killer Queen QUEEN (one of my favorite bands!)
8. White Wedding BILLY IDOL
10. Every Little Thing She Does is Magic THE POLICE
21. It's the End of the World as We Know It REM
30. Walk Like an Egyptian THE BANGLES
31. Our Lips are Sealed THE GO-GO'S
33. Turning Japanese THE VAPORS
39. Copacabana BARRY MANILOW
66. Someone to Dance With MICHAEL PENN
(nice selections, by the way...)
Which leaves me with:
5. Right Here, Right Now - Jesus Jones
34. Centerfold - J. Geils Band
37. Old Time Rock N' Roll - Bob Segar
62. Livin' On a Prayer - Bon Jovi
63. Scenes From An Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel
71. Boys of Summer - Don Henley
72. Hot Blooded - Foreigner
98. Voices Carry - Til Tuesday
This is a good list for me, too
1. Java Jive-- The Ink Spots (or Manhatten Transfer)
20. River-- Joni Mitchell
59. Summer of '69-- Bryan Adams
80. (You Can) Call me Al-- Paul Simon
97. Red, Red, Wine-- UB40
thanks. That was one I couldn't figure out!
Just realized the song I was thinking of has the line "I LOVE coffee and I LOVe tea-- so number one is really Run-Around by Blues Traveler.
here are my guesses:
9. just like heaven-the cure
54. saving all my love for you-whitney houston
83. hold me now-the thompson twins
84. rio-duran duran
fun list!
no.6 killer queen by oueen no.14 refugee by tom petty and the heartbreakers no.26 downunder by men at work no.33 turning japanese by the vapours no33is she really going out with him by?no37 old time rock and roll by bob seger no.49 the pretender by jackson browne no59 summer of 69 by bryan adams no.86 rock and roll all nite by kiss no91 heart of glass by blondie no63 scenes from an italian restaurant by billy joel
just rememberd no.35 is she really going out with him was by joe jackson no99 the logical song by supertramp no65 sultans of swing by dire straits no69 you shook me all night long by acdc
And #88 is All I want to Do-- Sheryl Crow
first, my guesses:
38 - life during wartime by talking heads; 64 - dizz knee land by dada; 87 - bizarre love triangle by new order; 89 - big country by big country; 95 - safety dance by men without hats; and 96 - under the bridge by red hot chili peppers.
and now a suggestion, if that's ok: it might be somewhat easier to tell what's been guessed and what hasn't if you marked them off up there somehow. also, it's kinda fun to keep score, too--but i'm not saying that out of any competitive nature... i came to this list waaaay too late for that. :) great list, btw!
Actually, I was going to make a list with all the answers I have thus far in about another week or so. I've figured out about 85% of them myself, so I don't know if I should post those, or just put the answers that everyone else has supplied. Or maybe I'll put the answers everyone has supplied, then add one of mine each week. What do the rest of you think?
i got it! it was killing me, but i believe #68 is Seeds of Love by Tears for Fears.
