Evidence of My Nerdiness And Possibly Yours

Since the last couple of posts have been all Deep and Thought Provoking, I thought I might spice things up a bit with a very special version of "Name That Tune." I will provide a lyric (or two or three, depending on the level of dorkiness--er, difficulty) from ten of my very favorite songs--it's up to you to guess the name of the song and the artist. Participating in this exercise will not only give you an in-depth look into Frema's musical tastes but also provide you with an opportunity for meaningful self-discovery. In other words, if you know even half of these bad boys, you need just as much help as I do.

I'll leave this game "open" until Sunday; on Monday, I'll post the answers and the name of the person with the highest score. That person gets...I don't know what. An answer to a burning Frema question? A pen from my employer? Tell me what you want when you play, and if it doesn't cost any money, I'll probably give it a whirl. Just be sure to send all guesses to my e-mail (unless you know of a better way to avoid copying), but also be sure to still leave a comment, because my self-worth is directly related to how many of those things I get per entry.

Let the games begin!

Songs That Bring Frema To Her Happy Place, Especially When Commuting Long Distances And She's About To Pass Out At The Wheel

1) "Feels like sunshine, feels like rain / Lord it feels like love finally called my name"

2) "My heart is achin' for that special girl / To come on in and to share my world / Someone to love and someone to hold / Let me be the one"

3) "Now my love is somewhere / Lost in your kiss / When I'm all alone it's you that I miss / Girl a love like yours / Is hard to resist"

4) "Squeeze her knees underneath a book /You know a real good shakin's all it took / Cause my baby's hooked on me / And as you can see I'm wild about her"

5) "All summer long we've been together / And I never felt so good / Cuz when I'm with you / It's such a good time (yes it is)"

6) "My weary mind is rested / And I feel as if my home is in your arms / Fears are all gone, I like the sound of your song / And I think I wanna sing it forever"

7) "It's drivin' me outta my mind / That's why it's hard for me to find"

8) "Show me that smile again / Don't waste another minute on your cryin'"

9) "It felt like springtime on this February morning / In the courtyard birds were singing your praise"

10) "Plant a seed plant a flower plant a rose / You can plant any one of those / Keep planting to find out which one grows / It's a secret no one knows"

Anonymous--I edited this entry slightly after you commented to lay down some ground rules. I only deleted your comment because I didn't want nobody rippin' off yo' dope answers. I still love you, though! Please come back and offer new words of wisdom!

$W%^*, I didn't know any of these! Not a single '80s song in the bunch.

[Frema]

That's not true...!

[bdogg_mcgee]

"you never trust a big butt and a smile!" ;)

I'm so excited that I know the answers to number 8 and 9! The fact that I lived with you 3/4 of my life and I don't know the other 8 songs hurts my heart! But then again, I always did have the better taste in music!! ;)

I can not guess not one of them.

#7 Is the only one I know right away. But I think some of the others will come to me!

[PaintingChef]

No..wait...I know #9 also, well, I can sing those lines but the name of the song AND the artist are both escaping me...

I will exclude myself from the competition since I have too many cheating tools at my librarian disposal... ;-)
