Consider this one kind of a companion game to the short snippet theme. While brainstorming ideas for today's game, I recalled a lyrical Tangredi puzzle from a few years ago that involved putting together the opening lines to songs. So.... below are 15 lines that are the first words you'll hear in certain songs. I tried to only pick songs that are pretty well known, as I think this may be just a tad harder than regular short snippets due to the first line restriction. Well, let's see how you do with these!

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. Been working so hard

Footloose, Kenny Loggins

2. All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray grey

California Dreamin, Mamas and Papas

3. Is this the real life

Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen

4. I come home in the morning light

Girls just wanna have fun, Cyndi Lauper

5. A thumb goes up

Oh man -- when I get the first four, I should be able to get em all. I blame the meister.

6. Got on board a westbound 747

It never rains in southern California. . . . Eagles. I know that's not right.

7. As I was walking down the street one day

Does anybody know what time it is, Chicago

8. At first I was afraid

I will survive, Gloria Gaynor

9. Just got home from Illinois

Lookin out my back door, Creedence Clearwater Revival

10. Here's a little song I wrote

Don't worry, be happy. Bobby McFerrin

11. So you think you're a Romeo

Ugh! It's on the edge. Have to pass.

12. Well my friends the time has come

I did it my way, Frank Sinatra. I know that's not right.

13. I used to be a renegade

Hip to be square, Huey Lewis and the News

14. I must've dreamed a thousand dreams

All I have to do is dream, Everly Brothers. I know that's not right.

15. Raven hair

Nevermore, Edgar Allen Poe and the Crypt Kickers

Runaway, Del Shannon. As I walk along, I wonder

I think first lines are much easier than snippets, because everybody knows the first line of something, right? Like we're all in on the first verse of America the Beautiful or O Come, All Ye Faithful (or, as I like to call it, Adeste Fideles. My sister and I used to do this Christmas duet thing where she would sing the English and I would sing the Latin at the same time), but it gets a bit sketch after that first chorus....

1. Been working so hard

Footloose - Kenny Loggins

It's been a Loggins kinda Extravaganza, hasn't it?


2. All the leaves are brown

California Dreaming - Mamas and the Papas

3. Is this the real life

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Also known as the A side to I'm in Love with My Car....ha!

4. I come home in the morning light

Squirrels Just Want to Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

I think I'm batting 1.000 on Annie Bonuses this year (for the ones I've known....)

5. A thumb goes up

Hitchin' a Ride - Vanity Fair

Or Fare or Fayre or Faire or Favre, or however cute way they spelled it

6. Got on board a westbound 747

It Never Rains in Southern California - Thirsty WeHo Boys

7. As I was walking down the street one day

I'm hearing the New York Dolls, but I don't think that's it....

8. At first I was afraid

I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

9. Just got home from Illinois

Looking Out My Back Door - CCR

I used to love this song because my Dad would let me put my hand across the fretboard during the yug dug a dug part....

10. Here's a little song I wrote

Don't Worry, Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin

11. So you think you're a Romeo

Take the Long Way Home - Supertramp

12. Well my friends the time has come

13. I used to be a renegade

Hip to Be Square - Huey Lewis and the News

Nope, still haven't hit my favourite yet...

14. I must've dreamed a thousand dreams

15. Raven hair

Witchy Woman - Eagles

Hey! More Prescient Points for me (think back to the Cliff Richard game)

Patience - Guns n Roses - Shed a tear cause I'm missing you

On my way home today, I actually heard the Chris Cornell version on the radio! Although Patience is my favourite GnR song, I think I might have liked his version better, but not as much as the Slash & Myles Kennedy version...

Yes, this is what I've been reducted to....shilling squirrels in a vain attempt at an IBB. Although if a kitten in a banana blanket won't do it, I don't know what will. And I'll have you know I'm still getting bombarded with targeted ads and emails about Bee Gees and Andy Gibb memorabilia as a result of the Great Pink Pants Nuts Hunt...
