That one's correct... I was only thinking of U2's rendition, since that one's the most popular. I had two U2 songs to choose from: this one and "Pride In The Name Of Love"...I decided on this. ;)

Subject: Re: Can you "Name" these songs? (A rather short lyrics quiz...7 LEFT!)

Written By: Windbreaker05 on 02/07/06 at 10:53 pm

Decided to take the opposite route and think of titles with name in the lyrics to see if I could find a match... there's one that I'm pretty sure would be here but I don't see it... but this one works:

4. Stop! In The Name of Love - The Supremes

Subject: Re: Can you "Name" these songs? (A rather short lyrics quiz...6 LEFT!)

That's correct! I sometimes use that strategy to figure out songs, with a common word, but I don't know all the lyrics sometimes so it doesn't often work for me. Good job on number four! O0

Bookmistress, those are both correct! However, I was unaware that TTD later recorded under a different name. :-\\

#12 What's Your Name? - Lynard Skynard
#14 You Don't Know My Name - Alicia Keys


Those are both correct, Tanya! However, it's actually spelled Lynyrd Skynyrd, but I'll give you full credit for identifying the band. ;)


#12 - What's Your Name - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Sorry, ragebass, but Tanya got to that one first! :-[

This is a total guess, but is #13 "My Name Is" by Eminem?

Sorry, NozmoKing, that is incorrect. :-\\ As an added hint, the band name has the number 6 in it (spelled out).

Written By: nally on 02/22/06 at 5:06 pm

I have modified the hint for the last item (#6).

6. And you move my mind from behind the wheel.
Additional lyrics: I'll view the list and take my pick/ I'll view my fate and make the choice/ Cause it's nobody else's but mine.
Hint: 2002 song, band name begins with the number six (spelled out), Leigh Nash is the group's lead vocalist. Unscramble these words to get the song title: erteabh ryuo nmea


Breathe Your Name - Sixpence None the Richer?
