73. Pink Houses

84. Synchronicity II

85. Switch Into Glide

87. Breakfast in America

88. What I Say

 

PlaySumFnJurny brings the class grade up to a very respectable 88%. #84 is one of those songs everybody knows but the lyrics can be hard to recognize out of context. The Answer to #85 is marginally correct (The target lyrics are actually from the

"This Beat Goes On" half of the This Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide tandem set

) but I'll accept it because I wasn't sure if anybody would recognize that one. The cult status of this song among Chicagoans around my age is totally due to Jonathon Brandmeier picking up on the obscure song and making it a sort of party anthem.

 

I will post 10 Bonus Questions once Team Soxtalk hits 90 correct answers and earns their "A" for the class.

I'm dropping this class for something easier. The prof is kind of a jerk too.

The billion year old carbon line is one of my favorite song lyrics ever.

 

One more correct response gets the Bonus Songs unlocked. Sort of like a really low rent version of Guitar Hero. :D

Only 80s German songs, because all Guitar Hero bonus tracks are ridiculous obscure deep cuts

First three answers correct, but you were second in. #108 is incorrect but Big Ed got it above.

 

Wow, y'all were all over that set. Six of ten knocked out in 5 minutes flat.
