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!

This week's lyrics:

1. Freak on a Leash — Korn
   Sometimes I cannot take this place, sometimes it’s my life I can’t taste
   Guessed by: Mike Mirabella

   A man has gun; hey man, have fun
   Guessed by: Mike Mirabella

3. Royals — Lorde
   We don’t care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
   Guessed by: Glen

4. Feed the Tree — Belly
   This old man I used to be spins aroud, around the tree. Silver baby come to me, I’ll only hurt you in my dreams. (1993)
   

5. Chemicals — Halestorm
   I'm so A.D.D. it's killing me; turning 3-2-1 to 1-2-3. I need adderall to fix my mind; chase it down with hundred dollar wine. (2019)
   

6. Jeopardy — Greg Kihn Band
   Don’t be cute. Don't be funny, now. It’s later than you think. Oh, what's the use? Oh, save your money, now. It's hanging on the brink. (1983)
   

7. Jugband Blues — Pink Floyd
   And I’m wondering who could be writing this song
   Guessed by: Lazlo Hollyfeld

8. Nashville Cats — The Lovin’ Spoonful
   And the record man said, “every one is a Yellow Sun record from Nashville and up North there ain’t nobody buys them,” and I said, “But I will.” (1966)
   

9. Dead Skunk — Loudon Wainwright III
   Take a whiff on me, that ain’t no rose. Roll up your window and hold your nose. You don‘t have to look and you don‘t have to see, ’cause you can feel it in your olfactory. (1972)
   

10. The Sprawl — Sonic Youth
    To the extent that I wear skirts and cheap nylon slips, I’ve gone native. I wanted to know the exact dimensions of Hell. Does this sound simple? Fuck you. Are you for sale? (1988)
    

11. Flirtin’ with Disaster — Molly Hatchet
    I got the pedal to the floor, our lives are runnin’ faster. We got our sights set straight ahead, but I ain’t sure what we’re after (1979)
    

12. Somebody to Love — Jefferson Airplane
    Your friends, baby — they treat you like a guest
    Guessed by: Mac Webb

13. Somebody to Love — Queen
    I got no feel, I got no rhythm, I just keep losing my beat. I'm OK; I’m alright. I ain’t gonna face no defeat. I just gotta get out of this prison cell… (1976)
    

14. Pop Goes the Weasel — 3rd Bass
    You boosted the record, then you looped it — you looped it
    Guessed by: Glen

15. Smoke Two Joints — The Toyes
    Hard work good, and hard work fine. But first take care of head.
