Friday 10: Just stay home and play synthesizers
You know you‘re not in high finance considering second-hand underpants.
Last week three people guessed six lyrics, and I guess the rest stumped y’all. Poor Bobby Darin.
Here’s one act that no one guessed last week backed by an act that no one guessed several weeks ago:
It’s been busy here and it’s not letting up, so let’s get right to it.
The rules:
- No searchin’
- I need both the song name and the artist
- If you give me a cover version and I can find it, that counts
I’m often surprised how many hits are covers. There’s at least one of those in this list, but maybe more.
Check your mind, how’d it get so bad?
Finished? Give the Film Optimist’s 10 a try!
This week's lyrics:
-
Disco Inferno — The Trammps
When the boogie started to explode, I heard somebody say…
-
I’m Coming Out — Diana Ross
I wanna give, I’m completely positive
-
I'm Not in Love — 10cc (Covered by Will to Power)
I keep your picture upon the wall. It hides a messy stain that’s lying there.

Tainted Love — Gloria Jones, covered by Soft Cell
Once I ran to you, now I’ll run from you

And you want her, and she wants you. We want everyone.

She got tricks in the stash, stacking up the cash

West End Girls — Pet Shop Boys
And which do you choose, a hard or soft option?

Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock, bathing in the city aqueduct
