Guess song title and artist. No can Google!


1. Lyrics are arranged as complete sentences and are not separated by verse breaks.
2. Title does not appear in printed lyrics.
3. Clue is not the first line of the song. (With one exception).
3. No duplicate artists.

And yes, I geeked out and did more than 30 songs. Deal.

I think I listen to more music now than I ever did as a kid. Before, what I heard was whatever was playing on the radio, and I couldn't afford to buy albums and cds very often.

33 is 'Currucucucu Paloma' (aka 'La Paloma' over here) about the artists...well in Italy there were dozens of versions going around in the '70, I think every other singer in Spain and Spanish-speaking Latin America has recorded it at some point.

Date: 2009-02-12 07:36 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] nekosensei.livejournal.com
Yep. The version I have is by Joan Baez, but I know that Caetano Veloso also recorded a version of it for the movie, "Hable con ella" or "Talk to Her."

More than thirty?

I'm just about done compiling my final list of over 250. Obviously, I can't post them all at once.

Honestly, I don't know any of the songs beyond the ones that were guessed already, and I've never heard most of the guessed songs. I knew only eight of them.
