ANSWERS/POINTS LS WACKY WEDNESDAY March 19

Not sure what was so wacky about these. Although come to think of it, some of the bands were a little wacky and some of the songs were as well. So I suppose I started with a couple songs I wanted and a theme kind of grew out of it. So keep the theme in mind when you give the artist, you'll only get half credit if you use someone who obviously is not like the others. Except for #10, which doesn't really fit the wackiness nor the theme, so I have no idea why I used it.

1. Well, you're built like a car
You got a hubcap diamond star halo
You're built like a car
Oh yeah
2. And brother's back at home
With his Beatles and his Stones
We never got it off on that revolution stuff
What a drag
3. Can you still recall in the Jukebox Hall when the music played
And the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days
In their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout
As they sang the blues let it all hang out
4. Oh, I see a man at the back
As a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one
5. When I woke up and my head started to clear
I had a strange feeling I was cooking gear
I smelled something cooking and I looked to see
That's when I found out they was cookin' me
Great googly moogly, let me outta here!
Meanwhile, back in the States …
6. I don't want to drink my whisky like you do
I don't need to spend my money but still do
Don't stop now a-c'mon
Another drop now a-c'mon
I wanna lot now so c'mon
That's right, that's right
7. So where were the spiders
While the fly tried to break our balls
Just a beer light to guide us
So we bitched about his fans
And should we crush his sweet hands
8. Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile
She loves him, she loves him but just for a short while
She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his hand
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
9. To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
10. Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Bonus Instrumental: A sequel to #3 above, this has become a staple for virtually every sports franchise in the country. However, it was first used by two Denver teams, the Nuggets and the Rockies. Like Tequila earlier this month, it might not technically be an instrumental although there's only 1/3 of the syllables in this one.
(2008 Note: I think it's been supplanted by hip hop and rap in some cases. I'll have a story about this in the eagerly anticipated answers!)
Bonus Bonus: The #4 song above enjoyed renewed popularity when it was used in this 1992 movie.
Super Bonus: Another song by the group in #2 was (and still is, as far as I know) used as the theme music for an ABC sitcom. I don’t think the show really gets the lyrics. Name the song and the television show.
(2008 Note: Obviously this was a popular tv show in 2002. It is no longer on the air. First run, anyway.)
