I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Of course that’s Waterloo by Abba from Sweden (to quote Terry Wogan)! Yay [livejournal.com profile] gfrancie and [livejournal.com profile] unclemike

I shot my mouth off and you showed me what that hole was for
That would be Precious from The Pretenders’ eponymous debut. Trust Chrissie Hynde to not ever mince words . . .good job [livejournal.com profile] cornekopia; close one [livejournal.com profile] unclemike

the time has come for closing books and long last looks
Hard to believe that Lulu didn’t hit #1 in the UK with To Sir With Love, though she topped the charts nearly everywhere else, including the US (she had her first UK #1 in the 1990s with Relight My Fire (with Take That). Woo hoo for [livejournal.com profile] unclemike[livejournal.com profile] chefxh[livejournal.com profile] davomatic

Mary, why you buggin?
Mary Mary by Run-DMC. I was afraid that It’s tricky; apparently not for [livejournal.com profile] unclemike[livejournal.com profile] schillerium[livejournal.com profile] notitleyet[livejournal.com profile] davomatic

All that you fashion, all that you make
I’m suprised no one got this . . . Walk On by U2 (from All That You Can’t Leave Behind)

Me and crazy Janey were making love in the dirt, singing our birthday song
Yay ! It is indeeed Spirits in the Night from Bruce Springsteen’s debut album Greetings from Asbury Park. I recommend his early stuff--truly poetic. [livejournal.com profile] logisticslad is my new best friend for getting what was the hardest of the lot! And, for the record I did briefly date a girl named Janey in high school . . .

I drew a map of Canada. O Canada
Yup, her Sunshiney Coast (BC, not Queensland) goodness Joni Mitchell and A Case of You. A strong Canucklehead prescence here: [livejournal.com profile] bitterlawngnome & [livejournal.com profile] schillerium, though [livejournal.com profile] stivalineri & [livejournal.com profile] logisticslad also got it good

you played me, you even gave him head
Wow this was a toughie so woot for ! It’s by a current no-talent named Eamon (from Staten Island), Fuck it (I Don’t Want You Back). Personally Frankie’s response track (Fuck You Right Back) is more clever. Ouch! [livejournal.com profile] notitleyet got it right, though [livejournal.com profile] gfrancie had what is perhaps the best answer given on this quiz . . .” sounds like me about the age of 19”

Give me my profits when you get home
RESPECT by Aretha. OK I never wholly understood what she sang on this one. Sorry I forgot the G in give. Yay to [livejournal.com profile] cornekopia!

Two hearts in need of one another--give me wings to fly
The first international hit (en anglais) for The Chin that Wins, Céline Dion: Where Does My Heart Beat Now. Still one my favourites, and apparently [livejournal.com profile] logisticslad and [livejournal.com profile] notitleyet like it too! Hey Mikey
