Entertainment For The Masses

Hi Everyone!

Sorry I have been gone so long. I really do have things to write you all, but I have been lazy this week. So maybe next week I will get all of the more serious posts out. (Who am I kidding, none of my posts are ever serious.) But in any regard, today, in honour of Friday, I thought I would entertain you with a two part musical blog, of sorts.

PART TWO: My “family” has been entertaining me on Facebook with this little game for the past couple of weeks. I have posted the first lines to twenty songs, and you have to guess the song.

To make it a little easier, I decided to only post Beatles songs. (Maybe that isn’t any easier for you.) I realized a few songs in, that I have just too many obscure Canadian bands on my ipod that I am sure no one would get the song. (I know, only a handful of us know who Hey Ocean is.)

I have added both well known as well as some less known Beatles songs for you super fans. So there is no reason you shouldn’t play along.

If by some odd chance you don’t know any of the songs listed. Please, please, please, use the Google to find out the title and look up the song on YouTube. Don’t you think you should know a little about The Beatles? They are kinda famous. It’s not like am asking you know the discography of Soul Decision. (Although take my word on it, they are pretty awesome too.)

In any regard, please leave a comment or two with your answers. Come on! It will be fun.

1. Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
2. Who knows how long I've loved you
3. When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me
4. In the town where I was born, lived a man who sailed the sea
5. To lead a better life I need my love to be here
6. Your day breaks, your mind aches
7. Try to see it my way; do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
8. Born a poor young country boy
9. I listen for your footsteps coming up the drive
10. I read the news today, oh boy
11. Baby's good to me, you know
12. You say it's your birthday
13. I think I'm gonna be sad
14. Once there was a way to get back homeward
15. Picture yourself in a boat on a river
16. Here come old flattop
17. Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
18. One day you'll look to see I've gone
19. Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
20. Here I stand, head in hand

So here’s to finally Friday, although, I don’t know why I care so much. Everyday is Friday in my life.

Good luck to us all.
As Always,
