#8 is "Take Good Care Of My Baby" by Bobby Vee.

#12 is "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister.

#15 is "Take Me Home Tonight" by Eddie Money.

That's all I can figure out for now.

31. The KKK Took My Baby Away - Ramones

Subject: Re: Take This Lyrics Quiz! (more lyrics/hints added - limit removed)

Written By: FaultyDog on 02/19/06 at 5:09 pm

Only from your hints and clues I gathered the following:

#13 is a song by Jefferson, but the only one I know (by title) is The colour of my love which I know is incorrect.

#18: I guess the title must be You Can't Take The Honky Tonk Out Of The Girl, but I've no idea who the artist may be.

#19: A guess on the title: Take Me Away, Cowboy   ??? Again, no clue about the artist.

#25: Stumped on the artist. Guess the title must be Take a Walk.

#27: It's Bonnie Tyler, and though I don't know the song I'm guessing it's called Take Me Home.

#38: I know it must be Supremes for the artist, but the title isn't quite clear yet. It's not a song I know for sure.


Am I any good? ???

Written By: FaultyDog on 02/19/06 at 5:56 pm


#13 - That is the artist!
#18 - Yep! Correct title there
#19 - It's actually "Cowboy, Take Me Away" but four for four on the words, so I'll take that
#25 - One word missing from the front of that
#27 - It is Bonnie Tyler! First two words are right in that title, last one needs a switch (and it isn't front)
#30 - It is The Supremes!

For #13: here's a cryptiquiz component: Infant, Hold Me
For #30: The first word is "A" ... the second word (6) is the product of respiration... the third (6) is a form of the theme word... and the fourth is a synonym of man (3)

PS: Who is that picture on the right in your signature? She looks quite familiar (and attractive)


Addenda:

for #13: is it Baby, Take Me  :-\\
for #25: is the missing word Just ???
#27: should be Take Me Back
#30: should be A Breath Taking Boy, then

PS I don't think you know the girl in my sig line. Her name is Annette Barlo, and she's a Dutch actress/tv host (currently taking care of her first born).

#25 - Nope, sorry. It's of the form  _ _ _ ' _
#27 - Yes!
#30 - So close. The first two letters of your last word need to change.
