As promised, below is my very own version of NAME THAT TUNE.
Except you don't actually have to name that tune, you just have to sing it really loud in public until you get to the line that is missing. You can still sing it but after that, shut the hell up and email your answers to
lifecorrection@gmail.com
Every song was a top 10 hit in the United States so there aren't any tricks involved. Just a good memory.
Winner will be announced Friday at 9am. Feel free to refer your friends. Please comment if you played. The one with the most correct answers, receives the CD and my undying respect and admiration. I am the sole judge and master so close enough is entirely at my discretion.
Ahhhh...the power...
Okay...get to it and good luck.

Holy Shit. It is 7 in the GD morning and CP just cracked me up so loud my kid wanted to know what was so funny.

Well, I've done it; didn't do great, but had a blast. I think we should do an "all Green Day" edition! I got excited when I saw that one. It embarrasses my kids that I listen to Cher and Hootie on one day and Green Day, All American Rejects and Billy Talent the next. But then again, isn't that my job?
I'll have to do this one from home, be back soon
Sorry! #15 should have said SINK not SICK.
man, i think the only songs i'm hot with are 80's songs (you know, back when i was single & life was nothing but fun!)...i give up already...but thanks for the game!!
