Subject: FB Mixed Decades Unusual Lyrics Quiz (COMPLETE)

#4 may be "Goody Two Shoes" by Adam Ant. (The word was plural in the song, maybe this isn't the correct answer?)
#5 is "Creeque Alley" by the Mamas & the Papas. (The word "Creeque" is a homonym (or as Alex Trebek of "Jeopardy!" likes to call them, "homophones") of "creaky.")

2 could be "AWOL" by Exodus - but maybe you weren't thinking of that :o ;D

1. Ventura Highway -- America

Hey Fuss, 'ancestry' isn't from 'The Dead Heart' by Midnight Oil is it?
Subject: Re: FB Mixed Decades Unusual Lyrics Quiz
#4 could also be "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley
We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing.
Quoting:

# 5 is correct, Crazydon.
# 4 wasn't the one I'm looking for, and your plural observation is spot on)

Hi Chris
Gotta admit to not being familiar re AWOL by Exodus, so can't say !
I have expanded on the lyrics, so unless Exodus were into plagiarism in a big way, it probably isn't correct.
Further, the name Exodus conjures up a stereotype (which of course may be WAY off) of a certain style of music.
When you see the answer to the song, and if you know it, you'll probably think it funny to think of Exodus doing a cover of it !
FB ;D

Seriously, the song you were thinking of is the one I thought you were thinking of. The updated line is all I can remember. No Artist, no title, no year, no clue at all. :-/

Honestly ?
I was only kidding myself. Exodus to me sounded like a heavy metal/ thrashy type band, so I thought "Nah, couldn't be the same song..."
Oops !

Metal bands do the most unusual covers at times FB. Nevermore did a cover of 'Sounds of Silence' on their last album that, compared to the original, sounds like a war going on. The German metal label Nuclear Blast commissioned an album last year of ABBA covers, done by heavy metal bands. It's interesting, to say the least. ;D
