The lyric list

[caddyman]

Given the ephemeral nature of Livejournal, I doubt anyone will be trawling back through reams of friends' entries to see if they can fill in the missing answers to yesterday's post on the selection of lyrics picked from the random outpourings of mu MP3 player.

Here then, is the full list of tracks mined for wordage. The three not picked up by anyone were numbers 6, 8 and 9. To be honest, even I didn't know I had Up Where We Belong on the player; this is what happens when you just rip entire CDs without checking.

1. Space Oddity, David Bowie
2. Good Morning Judge, 10cc
3. Not My Idea, Garbage
4. Anything But Ordinary, Avril Lavigne
5. Stand By Me, John Lennon
6. Up Where We Belong, Joe Cocker/Jennifer Warnes
7. Bring It On Home to Me, Sam Cooke
8. Never Get Over You, George Harrison
9. My Affair, Kirsty MacColl
10. Afraid, David Bowie

Crap. I should have got the MacColl, I've sung along to it often enough...

I'm rubbish at lyrics, too.

Unless they are startlingly obvious, anyway.

Ditto.

5. Stand By Me, John Lennon.

Please could we change that to Ben E king? John Lennon's version stinks, it's like some bad karaoke rendition.

I quite like it meself, but I agree that Bern E King's is far superior.

May have come off harsh there but it was quite early and Stand By Me is a favourite of mine. I've never understood why Mr. Lennon felt the need to cover it : )
