Wow, you guys really ran through the classic rock! This next mix feels very much like the time I made it—the early 90s—and since there isn't a ton of that music that's come back into vogue in the way that 80s music has I'm not betting on this meme getting all that far. Consider it a challenge! I made this as a sort of "cleaning the house" mix for my college roommate and good friend S____, back when she was living in Prague. the title is a phrase of hers.

    Futzting Around
  1. I can't stand it for another day when you live so many miles away
  2. […] I will drive past your house, and if the lights are all down, I'll see who's around Blondie | One Way or Another
  3. Wake up, got another day to get through now, got another man to see
  4. You talked me into the game of chance / It was '39, before the music started
  5. I don't remember quite how I met you, wasn't long ago Duran Duran | Last Chance on the Stairway
  6. And if I die today I'll be the […] and I'll go chasing the nuns out in the yard Tori Amos | Happy Phantom
  7. They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known Billy Joel | Summer, Highland Falls
  8. Streetlight on the bowery, a cool hand from the lower east
  9. Cities, buildings falling down, satellites come crashing down
  10. Even if I am in love with you, all this to say, what's it to you? Suzanne Vega | Marlene on the Wall
  11. […] Chronic town, poster torn, reaping wheel, stranger, stranger to these parts REM | Carnival of Sorts (Boxcars)
  12. […] head was on the block / the crime was looking up the truth Indigo Girls | Galileo
  13. Starting a landslide in my ego, look from the outside to the world I left behind U2 | A Day Without Me
  14. […] I feel the sky tumbling down, I feel my heart start trembling whenever you're around Carole King | I Feel the Earth Move
  15. Why do I kid myself? Why do I scream for pleasure? Crowded House | Can't Carry On
  16. Don't go for second best, baby. Put your love to the test Madonna | Express Yourself


There are still a few left on Monday and Tuesday's lists!

#14 is 'I feel the Earth move', which has been covered by a lot of singers, but perhaps Martika for this one, given the time?

#16 is 'Express Yourself' by Madonna.

Don't recognise the others! ♥

Most of them I got by just saying the lines in my head, and then see if they led me to a musical version of them. Then repeated it over over until I got the gist of the song, and then the rest of the lyrics. Usually the artist came first before the song title!

The artist totally comes first because you can hear them singing. That's exactly how I do it when I'm the guesser.

7 is a Billy Joel song whose name I don't really know, but I can hear his voice in my head singing this so I'm pretty sure it is his. :)

I was thinking much the same s:) I usually suck at this, but if we're both thinking it's him, that ups the odds, right?
