Guess Ten - Piece Of Cake Answers

Humpday, 17 Promise 2006

It appears that some of the lyrics I put in the last quiz are still too puzzling for many puzzlers out there. So it's time to fill in the blanks for the rest of the songs in question:

1. there's an iron fist in a glove full of vaseline
- Dissident by Thomas Dolby off of the album The Flat Earth

2. the smoke from flux is filling his lungs
- American Life by Primus off of the album Sailing the Seas of Cheese

3. we all need a big reduction in amount of tears
- Dear God by XTC off of the album Skylarking

4. don't punish me with brutality
- What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
correctly identified by Susie the Suburban Guerrilla

5. and that's after buying his way into school
- Idiot Son Of An A$$hole by NOFX off of the album The War On Errorism

6. one nation controlled by the media
- American Idiot by Green Day
correctly identified by joules at Surreal 'R' Us

7. it was a fifty-four with a mashed up door
- Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa
correctly identified by Susie the Suburban Guerrilla

8. thought I heard a rumbling calling to my name
- Run Through The Jungle by Credence Clearwater Revival off of the album Cosmo's Factory

9. your mind's stuck in reverse
- Prey by Timbuk3 off of the album A Hundred Lovers

10. lend a hand to help your brother do his best
- Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson off of the album 1814/Rhythm Nation

The Primus and NOFX tunes were the only ones from relatively obscure artists (and one could argue that they're not all that obscure - the NOFX song was fairly well known in certain circles a few years ago, and the band who does the South Park theme song isn't exactly unknown, either - especially if one was trying to make the argument that one put together a relatively easy set of tunes this time around), and the rest ended up fairly high in the billboard charts. Not necessarily at number one, but still within the realm of notoriety.

I'm gonna have to rethink my strategery here...
