At least if I had to get sick this week, it's given me the opportunity to watch the Tigers' home opener on TV, as well as the men's world curling championships. (Yes, I like curling, you got a problem with that, eh?)
Anyway, I was happy to actually get some answers to my latest round of Name That Tune, although I'm shocked that some of these went unanswered. Anyway, here are the answers ...
1. Only twenty-four hours in a day, only twelve notes a man can play.
- Beastie Boys, "Shadrach" (Don got this, but it was meant for him, really)
- Björk, "Harm of Will"
3. Some say it's like a beautiful flower, some say it is a terrible power.
- Helium, "Pat's Trick" (you all need more Helium in your life)
4. Maybe I'm just the horizon you run to when she has left you and me here alone on the floor.
- Tori Amos, "Here in My Head" (how did you people miss this?)
5. You were the brightest light that burned too soon in vain.
- Sarah McLachlan, "Ben's Song" (Penny got this one)
6. Hey, there's Carol Fango before she sliced her wrists.
- Jill Sobule, "Super 8"
7. I want to be brave, I want to live without fear, but it's hard to navigate when I can't even hear.
- Jewel, "Under the Water" (the song that proves that, yes, Jewel can rap.)
8. And the bouncer is a sumo wrestler, creampuff casper milquetoast, and the owner is a mental midget with the IQ of a fencepost.
- Tom Waits, "The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)" (if this isn't in your music collection yet, get it ASAP)
9. I use public toilets and I piss on the seat, I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?"
- Denis Leary, "Asshole" (Don got this one too)
10. I wish I was someone else, then it'd be harder to hurt myself.
- Sister Machine Gun, "Automaton"
