Music Quiz: "G"

All 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 "G". The tenth and last song on the list has a title beginning with the letter "G".

Name the artist of each song for one point, and get another for naming the song. 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) When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high, and don't be afraid of the dark.

2) Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

3) I can show you, I can show you, some of the people in my life

4) Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty - oh, won't you please take me home?

5) Well, I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body, I know not everybody's got a body like you

6) But I was as confused, my heart's bruised - was I ever loved by you?

7) Well maybe I am the faggot America, I'm not part of a redneck agenda

8) Windmill, windmill for the land, turn forever, hand in hand

9) Your back's against the wall, there's no one home to call, you're forgetting who you are

10) Every time, just like the last, on her ship, tied to the mast


I'm also looking into ways to run a samples quiz in addition to this one, so [livejournal.com profile] scaree might just get their wish of two quizzes a week...
