Black Friday 10

I need a Veg-O-Matic! I need a Garden Weasel!

Whew. And we’re back, just in time for Black Friday! Well, the tail end of Black Friday anyway. In celebration of retailers raising their prices and arguing that it’s really a price cut, here are fifteen lyrics for you to identify for the low, low price of ten.

If you’ve been playing awhile, you’ll notice that things have changed back to the way they used to be, sort of. About which more later also, but at least now you have the option of registering — but can still play if you want to post anonymously. Sorry for the back-and-forth on this, but getting comments right while keeping everything I like about blogging intact is a bit of a hassle.

Enough! Start guessing!

Update, December 3: OK, we are almost through the week and there are still quite a few left. Here’s an experiment: I’ve expanded the lyrics a bit to see if it jogs anything else loose. I’ve also added the release year… just to help you get your head in the right decade.

The Rules

  1. No searchin’
  2. Give me both artist and title
  3. Covers OK as long as I can find them
  4. No money down, four easy payments

Need your assistance on the double!
