Lyrics quiz - the extremely evil version

[ckd]

Random? Shuffle? First lines? Bah.

It's time for a themed lyrics quiz. The theme? You'll see. Bwahahaha!

Okay, some of them will be easy. Some of them were sure a pain in the butt to transcribe, though.

I think Dave Barry once wrote that the reason they play that "Hey, hey, goodbye" song at ballparks is that most of the crowd can remember most of the words.

I recognize more than I can name, but I think the following are right:
9. "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da", The Police
10. "The Witch Doctor", David Seville
12. "Mrs. Robinson", Simon and Garfunkel
13. "I Am The Walrus", The Beatles
15. "Get A Job", Sha Na Na (?)

A number of years ago, a friend made me a CD that he called "Aphasia." It contains such songs as "Who Put the Bomp (In the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)" and "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm."

4. Land of 1000 Dances
10. Witch Doctor
11. Kiss Her Goodbye
12. Mrs. Robinson
13. I Am the Walrus
14. Theme from the Great White North

I probably should know more, but I'm hindered by the cold medication.

The first one sounds rather like the beginning of Beethoven's 5th, but I rather assume not.

5: Prince - "Jungle Love"

Friends of mine came up with something similar for just Yes songs, nothing else. They called it the profound lyrics quiz. Heh.

8. "Dreams" by the Cranberries?

#2 is "1,000 Miles" by The Proclaimers, yes?

Where's:
Too rah loh rah too rah loo rah ayyye!
I can hear 7 but I can't put the rest of the words to it. Which is very irritating.

But I had a question for you, so I'm going to post anyway. How do you feel about card games?

3. Mhna-mhna. The only version I know is on Sesame Street.
