I decided to give up on the other one and carry over the unguessed entries. Name the song title and artist. No cheating please.
I've separated the guessed from the unguessed.
Cloned From:
20. Joni Mitchell - Last Time I Saw Richard
23. Fountains of Wayne - Stacey's Mom
33. Wilco - Ashes of American Flags
10. Argh, I know the artist and the album but I know I'll never think of the song title...
Ah, I think 4 is from The Message by Grandmaster Flash. You haven't been getting ideas for this from my away messages have you...?
All four are right. Nice job!
3. Boris The Spider, The Who
15. Private Life, The Pretenders
21. It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), Bob Dylan
24. Down On The Corner, Creedence Clearwater Revival
25. Apeman, The Kinks (one of my favorite songs!)
30. Hard To Handle, Otis Redding (or Black Crowes)
34. All The Young Dudes, Mott the Hoople (another fave!)
38. Sex And Drugs And Rock And Roll, Ian Dury & the Blockheads
39. Werewolves Of London, (the late, great) Warren Zevon
26 is bugging me bad....
All correct! Good show!
Hey, who told you to steal all these from me? Ya punk!
:)
Good job!
Shalom, y'all!

I think that 6 is the Air Near My Fingers by The White Stripes, and that 13 is Career Opportunities by the Clash.
They are indeed!
A-ha!
C. Pretty Ballerina, The Left Banke
FINALLY someone got this one! Nice job!
8. Big Star - Holocaust
11. - Liz Phair - Canary (although I always hear the lyrics slightly otherwise; I may have just listen to too many years of that loud noise...)
16. I know this one. Let me think a bit more
17. Acrobat - U2 (my fave off of Achtung)
18. Lot 105 - Blur ( You cheeky little... Only line in the bloody song! :) )
19. Here - Pavement
26. Is this that SSSSudio song by Phil Collins
27. 20th Century Fox - The Doors
I think I'm close to a few more, but alas, I have to log off. Maybe I'll hit here later tonight.
Shalom, y'all!
L. Bangs
PS - I cheated and looked up number 16. I am so ashamed....
Quite right on all seven!
P.S. #18 - heh heh heh...
P.P.S. "Acrobat" is probably tied for my favorite with "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?"
1. Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye
10. Counting Crows - Rain King
14. Ice Cream Man - VH
jk
Three up, three down. Nice going!
#2-Wall of Death-Richard Thompson
#29-Hazy Jane-Nick Drake
#31-The Murder Mystery-Velvet Underground
#32-Catapult-REM
Nice job! The Nick Drake song is actually "Hazey Jane II", but hey, close enough.
16. Architects may come and architects may go (Frank Lloyd Wright-- Simon and Garfunkel)
Sorry I missed this post! You are correct!
12. Avenue Q - "The Internet is for Porn"!
Aha!
Indeed! Well done!
Hindsight is 20-20 - this line would definitely fit better on my "Next Line Game" (which came after this list). Of course, had I given away the next two words in the above lyric, it would be too easy.
