THURSDAY THIRTEEN #57 -- Pop Goes the iPod


QUIZ! CAN YOU NAME
THESE 13 TUNES?

I have exactly 2,310 songs on my iPod and most of them are classified as “pop.” Here’s a sampling, and (to make it look like I put more work into this than just setting it on “shuffle” and skipping over the Christmas carols), it’s in the form of a quiz.

It’s a pretty eclectic collection, covering 40 years. I must give my iPod credit for putting 12 and 13 back to back because they really sound great together.

The answers are in the comments section.

1. So now you’re back from outer space. I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face.

2. I’m 45 for a moment. The sea is high and I’m heading into a crisis, chasing the years of my life.


3. I’ll be alright, one way or another. So let me go, or make me want to stay.


4. May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true. May you always know the truth and see the light surrounding you.


5. She married when she was 20. She thought she was ready. Now she’s not so sure.


6. The rain is falling on my window pane, but we are hiding in a safer place.


7. Everybody needs a place to rest, everybody wants to have a home. Ain’t no difference what nobody says – ain’t nobody like to be alone.


8. Woke up, got out of bed. Dragged a comb across my head.


9. I dream of moments we share, but you’re not there. I’m living in a fantasy.


10. Seven lonely days and a dozen times ago, I reached out one night and you were gone.


11. I’ll be your baby, I’ll be your score. I’ll run the gun for you and so much more.


12. I don’t mind spending every day, out on the corner in the pouring rain.


13. Little darling, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter.

  4. I recognized 8, 10, and 13 right off the bat. The outer space reference in "I Will Survive" didn't register for me at all.

    Btw, I wonder if I beat you to the punch this week.

    I automatically assumed I wouldn't know any of them, but then I saw 8 and 13!

    2310 songs on your iPod? I'm amazed! I doubt that here are that many songs in existence that I'd want to hear.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oh dear. I'd have to sit here for a while and figure them out; however, now I see you've given away the answers. Great post idea!

    Happy TT :)

  30. Great idea for a TT! I love downloading tunes too! I missed Kentucky Rain and well, a few others, but I loved trying to guess.

    ReplyDelete
  31. #13 does it for me. George Harrison's Here Comes the Sun.
    Marvellous song.

    ReplyDelete
  32. This was so much fun! I missed 11 and 6, but got most of them (though I admit, I had to sing a couple of them before I remembered, so maybe that doesn't count.)

    ReplyDelete

  35. That was fun!
    I was supposed to sing #4 at my first child's baby dedication (kinda like baptism, only...not.)but I got laryngitis. Bummer.
    Remembering the song made me all mushy though, as he's seventeen now!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wow, I am really bad at this game....I only got #9!! Great idea for your T13 though.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I thought I'd do pretty well. But sadly, there were several that I just couldn't place.

    Ack!

    Great list! Happy T13

    Blessings,

  38. wow I only got 4 :( But I am not good at knowing names of songs!

  41. I'm terrible with the names of songs. I can usually sing the next line of any song, but the names allude me! Fun idea for a game!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I know most of those songs, but I didn't get a single one right!
