Music Quiz - "F"
Jul. 20th, 2009 02:07 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
shinydanAll the following lyrics come from songs in the UK Top 10 singles chart, from its inception in 1952 to the present day, as referred to on www.everyhit.com.
Ignoring silly words like "The" and "A", nine of the songs come from artists beginning with the letter "F". The tenth and last song on the list has a title beginning with the letter "F".
Name the artist of each song for one point, and get another for naming the song. Please note that Question 5 is a duet, and only the first billed artist's name starts with an "F". Please don't use internet search services to look these details up.
Answers will be screened until Friday afternoon, when I'll post the answers and the scores!
1) Just one wish will be granted, one heart will wear a Valentine. Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine!
2) Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me, she was everything I dreamed she'd be, sweet surrender
3) There she stood, in the street, smiling from her head to her feet.
4) "I'll be over at ten" you told me time and again, but you're late, I wait around and then, I run to the door
5) I had this perfect dream, Un sueño me envolvió, This dream was me and you, Tal vez estás aquí
6) Live those dreams, scheme those schemes, hit me, hit me, hit me with your laserbeams
7) Dream of making mad love on the heath, tearing off tights with my teeth
8) I'm a leading man, and the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
9) What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
10) I'm the bitch you hated, filth infatuated - yeah! I'm the pain you tasted, well intoxicated.
