A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye

"I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You" -- Evita

Ding!

4) Alanis Morrisette - "Not The Doctor"
5) "Too Many Fish In The Sea," but I have no idea who it's by
15) Talking Heads - "The Days Go By"?

A lot of these I could swear I know...

[cnoocy]

A lot of these you probably do.
"The Days Go By" isn't actually the title of the song.

[fuldu.livejournal.com]

I believe the actual title is "Once in a Lifetime".

[cnoocy]

Ding!

[joxn.livejournal.com]

I don't know any of them. But, I have no ear for lyrics.

I want to see Rikchik translations of the best 5.

[cnoocy]

I'll probably do a reduced version of the meme in Latin, then in Rikchik, in the near future.

You are safe in the daylight at last.

"I Will Stand Fast," Fred Small

Ding!

[cnoocy]

I was thinking when I typed it "I bet Colorwheel will get this one."

#13- "Call Me" Blondie

[tablesaw]

Three is "The Ballad of Itchy and Scratchy."

[cnoocy]

Nice guess, but no.

[cnoocy]

Ding!

8. "Get Back", the Beatles
9. "Don't Stop", Fleetwood Mac
10. "The Ballad of Eddie Praeger", Paul and Storm
20. "Sad Hindu Diamonds", I think is the technical title, from "Moulin Rouge"

[cnoocy]

Ding ding ding dign! (Actually, it's "Hindi Sad Diamonds" which is close enough)

7. Night winds whisper to me

it's "Walking After Midnight" and i am going to go classic and say Patsy Cline

14. I met a little boy named Billy Joe

this one i am iffy on, but i think it's "Mama Said" by the Shirelles. i am less iffy on the lyric and more iffy on who did it. i sometimes get my girl groups mixed up. it could be the crystals.

[cnoocy]

Ding! for 7. For 14, you have the right song, but not the title or the artist, but the title is completely absurd.
There's another one on the list that you're the best hope for.

[aspartaimee.livejournal.com]

uh oh! i will take a look after my meeting and see what's up.

ping me?

[lemurtanis.livejournal.com]

Re: ping me?

[cnoocy]

Yes, I have them. I'll send them to you in the next 24 hours.
