Guess that Title and Artist (TT #30 )

I have nothing better to do, so here you go. Another musical guessing game. Guess the title and or artist of each song and win...absolutely nothing! But hey, I'll think you're smart. I'll try to make it as easy as possible by using phrases from the chorus of each song. These are randomly selected from the music I have on my work PC. A couple of these are so easy-- I might hunt you down and beat you if you don't know them. Oh! And the blanks are where the actual title of the song is embedded in the song. I didn't want to make it too easy. If you're a regular and know who my favorites are, you can randomly guess and get some of them right.

1. You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I could have another you in a minute
matter fact he'll be here in a minute

(and my boyfriend's already throwing up a little bit in his mouth after reading #1)
My BFF Elaine was the first to guess this one correctly. It's Irreplacable by Beyonce. But since her blog is privateish, I'll give the link love to the next person who guessed it correctly, Samantha K!

2. There's no need to point the finger
We understand who takes the blame
Delinquents caught
Red-handed in the act
Crooks disguised as you and I

We've got to find another way
To make the ______ __ _____.

3. she gives me love love love love ______ ______
she gives me love love love love ______ ______...

She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come home to her when the sun goes down

Takes away my heartache in the night like a thief.

Malcolm guessed this correctly! Crazy Love--the version I have is by Brian McKnight. He's my future husband.

5. ___ __ _______,

And if the world's at stage,

Oh, if only you _____ __ __
Yeah, yeah

7. You've got your ball,
You've got your chain
Tied to me tight, tie me up again.
Who's got their claws
In you my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock,
And sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost for you

My BFF Elaine was the first to guess this one correctly. It's Crash Into Me by Dave Matthews Band. But since her blog is privateish, I'll give the link love to the next person who guessed it correctly, Samantha K!

Heaven shine a light down on me.

Cajunvegan guessed this one as The Only One by Evanescence.

9. It hasn't always been this way

Fighting voices in my head
Hoping someone hears me crying in the night

and melt your ____, ____ heart?

Samantha K guessed this one correctly as Norah Jones' version of Cold, Cold Heart.


12. My _____ are small, I know

someday I'll be so damn much more

Samantha K--she's a guessing fool! guessed this one correctly. It's Bigger than My Body by John Mayer.



So...some of them are hard, but I tried to pick a few songs more than 3 people would have heard of. You'll get extra credit if you get the hard ones right. And again, by "extra credit", I mean absolutely nothing! --Well, I will include a link to your blog if you are the first to get a title and artist correct.
