Subject: Tom Petty lyrics quiz. 20 (Limit 2 per person).

Written By: Marty McFly on 12/27/05 at 6:51 pm

Alright, time for a new poll (haven't done this in awhile). Instead of a bunch of 80's artists, I decided to just go with one. An all Tom Petty quiz (as far as entire catalogues go, he's one of my alltime faves). :)

Hint: Most of these partial phrases are from his 80's hits.

1. Out the window of a 747
2. Worth more than the minimum wage
3. Too drunk to follow
4. Good nights don't ever seem to last
5. Boris Karloff
6. Partied and mingled (Badfinger Fan)
7. When an angel cries
8. You would bury me (IndyGent)
9. You better say so (Maddog)
10. A cage without a key
11. The same s**t goes down
12. Take my breaks underneath the stars
13. I don't understand the world today
14. Wasn't no way to live
15. Stand back from me honey
16. Watchin' Jerry Falwell
17. Let that sucker blast
18. It was nearly summer
19. Waves crashin' on the beach (Maddog)
20. Angry slander

Aha!

Of course, #19 is the great American Girl (which I can play, badly, on my guitar).

...and I think #9 might be I Need To Know  :-\\.

Good going so far. :)

I purposely tried to pick songs that aren't huge hits. If it gets too hard, I can expand the lyrics a teeny bit, though.

Nice seeing you do a quiz again, Marty. :) Unfortunately, I don't know any of the songs (my bad!). :(

You did a good job of that McFly, and even though I've seen Tom close to a half dozen times, I only remember the hits so I may only get the one, but I'll keep trying, and i won't even cheat.  ;)

Do any of these songs contain lyrics from the Travelling Wilburies or are they all Tom Petty on his own ????
