Here's another bunch for your Friday pleasure:
1 - everything feels like the movies
2 - familiar, like last life's nursery rhymes
3 - just like a rainbow you know you set me free
4 - like a circus wheel, it's changing all the time
5 - like a rolling thunder chasing the wind
6 - like a ship on the ocean
7 - like my head against a board
8 - like Strawberry Fields
9 - like you're the only person sitting in the audience
10 - wavy hair like Liberace
11 - years gone by like so many summer fields
12 - you treat me like I was your ocean
note a couple of these have rarely been heard on KFOG, but most of you have them on the radio somewhere. I think the hardest will be 2 & 8.

> 8 - like Strawberry Fields
Bush, "Glycerine"
:P

:P
see, I am always wrong about who finds stuff difficult. Watch the highest charting song take the longest to identify.

5 - bob seger?
7 - fiona apple?
nope, 5 is not nearly old enough to be Seger, and 7 is too old (although not that old) to be Ms. Apple.

RGMike is 3 fer 3.

> 7 - like my head against a board
Indigo Girls, "Closer to Fine"
"twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before, when I went in seeking clarity ..."
-
> 6 - like a ship on the ocean
See, I've got to know where you got the notion to put the Hues Corporation's "Rock The Boat" in this quiz.

Ha ha! In fact I got the notion to quote Kansas:
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
but Hues Corporation also works!

I think John Denver does too, but I can't remember the name of the song, so I'm having trouble with verification.

Never mind. In Annie's Song, it's "like a sleepy blue ocean." Which is really a crappy lyric.

it's not the size of the boat
it's the motion of then ocean

yeah, thanks to Gaz I can't get the Hues Corp out of my head all day!

Here's the list of remaindrs (with hints):
1 - everything feels like the movies
following line: "you bleed just to know you're alive"
2 - familiar, like last life's nursery rhymes
On the band's greatest hits CD & heard sometimes on 10@10, but not among their most prominent songs. Beej & I have BOS-ed it before in '84 sets
3 - just like a rainbow you know you set me free
not a KFOG song per se, but a staple in the 80's on New Wave stations, one of this future HoF band's earliest hits.
5 - like a rolling thunder chasing the wind
90's band from PA, occasionally gets KFOG airplay
9 - like you're the only person sitting in the audience
a prog rock god, didn't name the band after himself.
11 - years gone by like so many summer fields
I can't believe no one got this yet. The bustout song by a KFOG favorite, now a classic rock staple. Y'all have heard this song a MILLION TIMES!!!
-
> 1 - everything feels like the movies
Argh, I just heard this the other day, thanks for the hint.
Goo Goo Dolls, "Isis"

New Wave and HOF? Gotta be either Talking Heads or Blondie.
> 5 - like a rolling thunder chasing the wind

Your hint gave me this one. Live, "Lightning Crashes"

1 - yes, but 2nd best typo of the day, should be Iris, not Isis.
3 - no, it's a British band
5 - yep. I sure wish Ed could have put out a bunch more material of this quality. Ah well.
-
"Just like a rainbow, you know you set me free..."
and I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough of Depeche Mode.

Answers:
2 = BOC "Shooting Shark"
I know it's pretty obscure, but I just love the image
9 = Tull "Skating Away..."
11 = Jackson Browne "Running On Empty"
Come ON people, this one was easy.

I always heard that line as "so many sown fields". You can't wrap your mind around a mondegreen...
