There's a few I'm stumped on.
When everyone posts the titles and artists, I can start singing the songs. I just can't do it in reverse.
Mad props to everyone else who is good at this for easing my brain that knows it should know these lyrics!
i can't get the theme song to Simon & Simon out of my head, so i'm of no use today.
Oooh! I finally got some stumpers! (Unless a bunch of regulars were out begging for candy...).
Anyway, here are the answers:
1. I can't help recalling how it felt to kiss and hold you tight
(Always something there to remind me/ Naked Eyes)

rebound?(Gloria/Laura Branigan)

7. When I'm dancing close to her, I can smell the chemicals (Blinded Me With
Science/Thomas Dolby)
8. She told me to come but I was already there (You shook me all night
long/ AC-DC)
9. Streetlight people, living just to find emotion (Don't stop
Believin'/Journey)
10. It belongs to them, lets give it back (Beds are Burning / Midnight Oil)
11. Everything you do is quite angelicate (Why Can't I Be You / Cure)
12. Rolling like thunder under the covers (I guess that's why they call
it the blues/Elton John)
