Survive The LYRICS

[jp liz v1]

Did Crash Test Dummies release anything else worldwide main stream, are they still around?

[Homer J. Fong]

Sorry Kol, am away at the moment and have no data (relying on WiFi) so only saw this now and couldn't guarantee I'd be able to participate each day.

Fwiw I would have got 7/8 in that first round, I didn't know the Richard Marx one

[RSOAPS]

Did Crash Test Dummies release anything else worldwide main stream, are they still around?

They're still knocking about touring yeah, and this was probably their other biggest song

[Necro]

That was the one I didn't know.

I'm disappointed Necro, would've put money on you knowing that one.

Wouldn't have the greatest knowledge of Spice Girls lyrics tbh. I know the songs but they wouldn't be in my regular rotation 🤣

Round 2

1. "Woah, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch"

2. "Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand"

3. "In the day we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream"

4. Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you

5. I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy

6. "Been working so hard
I'm punching my card"

7. "Some say that we are players
Some say that we are pawns"

8. "I wanna know
Whoever told you I was letting go"

[Necro]

That was fun! Head wreckingly so but fun nonetheless! Not sure on a couple today...

[HildaSilvioOgden]

Oh yeah cause you're such a winner! That's why you can't enter the winners game and came last in the losers game!

....

I'm just gonna bend down here and pick up my lunch box......ohhhhhh I just felt a sharp pain in my back 




*pulls out arrow *


Oh buile I believe I this is yours! I see you've joined allegiance with the other two back stabbers @Mam of 4 and @HildaSilvioOgden 

I see my name being taken in vain here. 🤣
Oy seph here's a lyric for ya...

[ShaneU]

I hate when you know that you know them but you don't know them

[Mam of 4]

Running the lyrics through your h ad , over and over until the rest of the lyrics click !
(Not for all the songs obviously 😅)

Or somehow singing to the tune of a totally different song

[Irish Aris]

Struggled big time to day, and I feel I know a couple of them, but just can't place them. . .
Might be the first one out - or just survive by the skin of my teeth

[RSOAPS]

Or somehow singing to the tune of a totally different song

Yeah, that's been my biggest struggle, had to keep trying different styles and tempos before it clicked with some of them

[Leg End Reject]

I hate when you know that you know them but you don't know them

Yep, or when you get to a chorus with the name of a song but you're not sure it's the chorus and song.

[ShaneU]

Yep, or when you get to a chorus with the name of a song but you're not sure it's the chorus and song.

My head is wrecked, I actually hate you Kol

ONE of these songs I've been convinced at different stages throughout the day was sang by Britney Spears, Ricky Martin, Gareth Gates, George Michael, Tom Jones and Mariah Carey

Race you to the bottom

[Declan A Walsh]

I hate when you know that you know them but you don't know them

Yep, or when you get to a chorus with the name of a song but you're not sure it's the chorus and song.

It can be particularly tricky if the song title is not in the chorus, and even more so if the song title is not actually mentioned at all in the song!

[Jluv]

I'm so glad to read the comments above because I've had all the issues you've had with these today. There's one in particular that I know,I know but can't figure out. Driving me demented but too stubborn to give up on it..

[E.N.]

Driving me demented but too stubborn to give up on it..

..I've gone the other way - saving my sanity by not thinking too much once I think I've done enough to scrape through. Hopefully I'm right

[Leg End Reject]

One of these is driving me insane. I think I know it and that I know the melody the lyrics given are sung to, but I can't get beyond that.

This was my strategy today too. Decided to save my tokens and just hope I've done enough.
