Sesame Street Monday is brought to us by the letter O this time around. You should know the drill by now... the odd numbered songs have O titles and the even numbered songs are by O artists. Oh boy!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother
2. Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
3. Funny faces
Full of love and laughter
Funny places
Summer nights and streetcars
4. Can you hear me singin' a song, lovin' a song, singin' a song
Lovin' a song, laughin' a song, singin' a song
Sing a song, song a sing, song, song, song, sing
Sing, sing, sing song
5. I think that you're afraid to look in my eyes
You look a little sad boy, I wonder why
6. And backbeat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before, but you never really had a doubt
7. Reaching out for something to hold
Looking for a love where the climate is cold
Manic moves and drowsy dreams
Or living in the middle between the two extremes
8. I got my best suit and my tie
With shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to my door
He says there's room for maybe just one more
9. We walked the loneliest mile
We smile without any style
We kiss all together wrong
No intention
10. With eyes that look like heaven, lips like sherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
11. Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still, I can't escape the ghost of you
12. The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack
