Once more, unto the breach...
Ten first lines from my iTunes playlist right now. Guess the songs. Bonus points for guessing the artist and album, or guessing the version that I have (if it's been covered), where applicable. Play fair now, no Googling.
None of these artists/bands come from the United States. For additional satisfaction, identify country of origin.
1. If you twist and turn away.
2. Well, my heart knows me better than I know myself.
3. Making your move, you come down as fast as lightning.
4. She's a loaded gun.
5. It's four in the morning, the end of December.
6. I was alone thinking I was just fine.
7. The lights on the west way go on.
8. I woke up, you left me — you know I'm hurting for you.
9. We got it together, didn't we?
10. You told me tales of love and glory.

(Anonymous) 2007-11-17 02:07 am (UTC)(link)This is an interesting one - wasn't aware of this song until I attended a friend's wedding last year. Her husband was a Kiwi and I found that the exponents (earlier dance exponents) were a New Zealand institution.
Don't ask me why - but they sing along to this one at rugby matches - I gather that its a part of tradition - like the haka. Look it up on Youtube to see snatches of NZ crowd grooving to this song at rugby matches ...

It's like the mystery of why they play Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" at Red Sox home games. There's a distinctive trumpet bit after the first line of the chorus where the spectators can go "pah pah pah" and the second line goes "Good times never seemed so good" and everyone shouts back, "So good, so good, so good" in the pause before the third line. Absolutely bloody nothing to do with baseball or Boston, but it's become de rigeur.
