Lyrics!

Because I feel like it. No looking them up! (I didn't.)

Guess the songs*:

1. I could become a frying pan or a brand new Chevrolet. - guessed by etakyma

2. So if you care to find me, look to the western skies. - guessed by sylke (and etakyma, but she didn't post because she's sitting right here) and by many others (the most guessed so far!)

3. My intuition told me you'd come on the scene. - guessed by etakyma

4. Come saddle my horses and call out my men!

5. That's it! That's right! I've found myself a partner who knows my style.

6. Near a soldier, an ex-marine with a tattooed dagger and an eagle trembling....

7. Let loose from the noose that's kept me hangin' about-- - guessed by roguebitch

8. Destiny beckons; I never reckoned second best.... - guessed by etakyma

9. Wide as a mile--the Shieldwall.... - guessed by sylke

10. Do not fear! We'll be here! Courageous are we.


*I really highly doubt any one person will get *all* of these, especially since there's a...broad range of songs represented here. And some are really obscure. But hey, why not?


Can you guess that I have a fondness for internal rhyme?

I'm a really bad person to try and guess these because you could give me the entire chorus of a lot of songs I know and I still wouldn't know what the name of the song is. Plus I'm always more of a melody than a lyrics person, so that doesn't really help me either. :) That said...

#1: rings a bell, a bit, but no idea where or what.
#2 took me a minute. I could hear it, but I couldn't place it or finish the song. I know it's from Wicked, I know it's Elphaba, at the end. It's probably the best known song from there, gimme a minute, the title will come to me when my mental iTunes finally stops skipping and gets to the chorus.
#7, I can sing that line, but I can't even tell you whether it's a pop song or movie soundtrack or musical, much less finish the next line. It's something I hear a lot, which makes me think modern radio song since I haven't had Broadway in rotation in ages...
#8, that's not Wicked again, is it? It took me until now to remember "Defying Gravity", there's no way I'm going to remember what that one is.
#9, ooh ooh, that one I can do! :D "Scarlet".
#10 I think is another SCA song? Or a musical.

It's official, I suck at lyrics. ;) Did I ever mention I'm really bad with names, too?

I'm really bad at names, too.

2 and 9 are correct!

I'm glad *someone* else recognizes 9....
