1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....
1. Check with the sun
Stand -- REM
2. A love bipolar
3. Thirty-five sweet goodbyes
My Old School -- Steely Dan
4. Sweet green icing
Hah. Mondegreen for me, if I'm right. Always thought it was "sweet cream icing" Who the hell puts green icing on a cake? Macarthur Park -- Richard Harris
5. Moving sidewalks
Didn't come to me until I stumbled on the right tempo while singing it out loud. It would probably be really entertaining to film myself playing LS. I Can Dream About You -- Dan Hartman
6. Singing for Spuds
7. Maggot on your sleeve
8. Cup of laughter
9. First junk to Soho
No Myth -- Michael Penn
10. Shania karaoke
Before he Cheats -- Carrie Underwood
11. Triple X throwdown

12. Brother John Birch
Uneasy Rider -- Charlie Daniels
13. Dead poets and drum machines
14. Cold coffins hang
15. The Tastee Freeze

17. Hurricane of frowns
18. Boy Mercury
Roam -- B-52s
19. Hip hop marmalade
20. My Les Paul's beat

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains a short phrase that is virtually unique to that song, and give the short phrase for an extra point. Near the end of "Catch all the Fish," Brad Paisley turns around the chorus, so it comes out "we drank all the fish, and we caught all the beer." I guess "drank all the fish" is short enough to qualify.
Mecca Bonus: Five of the songs above have been on one of the Mecca CD's. Which numbers? (15 possible points) #1, 4, 10, 14, 19
5 Point Bonus: Why did I use this particular Merry Man to host today's game? Yeah, no idea. Pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with Steve Brown's love life, though.

Mecca Bonus: Five of the songs above have been on one of the Mecca CD's. Which numbers? (15 possible points) - There were actually 6!!! I totally whiffed on "Stand" until I starting typing up the answers... so you had an extra chance at points since I accepted any of these six songs...
#1 - Stand (Fall CD, third to last song)
#8 - The Finer Things (Winter and Fall CD's)
#13 - These Words (Fall CD)
#15 - Jack and Diane (Fall CD)
#17 - Safe & Sound (Winter, Fall, and current CD! The only CD it hasn't appeared on is the Summer CD I used to compile Mecca Mondays games)
#18 - Roam (Current CD)
5 Point Bonus: Why did I use this particular Merry Man to host today's game?
On January 31, 2001, Ace made one of his typical smartass comments that he took note of the contestant sitting in Seat 9, who was brightly lit up and visible (something that somehow got "fixed" when the shows went to reruns on GSN), over Regis' shoulder all night licking his ear. That contestant, of course, was me... and the ear licking story stuck with me for a long time.... though apparently it has gone by the wayside since nobody who played the game was able to make the connection that it had been the anniversary of my WWTBAM airdate. One person did know, but though she intended to play this game, apparently got distracted, forgot, or maybe both....
