Answers to the most recent lyrics game.

Fewer people guessed on this, probably because they were all a) so tired of the lyrics game by this point that they didn't even click; or b) my friends and therefore completely disconnected from any genre other than Traditional Folk Music. ;) (Yeah, right!)

I rarely know the first line of songs, especially in isolation. I more often know the choruses and then work back to a verse, but in fact I rarely remember any lyrics enough to recognise them as a particular song without the tune.

Of those above, I have heard #1, 13 and 17 definitely, I've possibly heard (i.e. I recognise the name of the song) but don't know 10, 15 and 19 and may have heard some of the others without knowing the name of the song or the artist.

So basically I'm penc at any of these quizzes...
