6. MLK - U2
8. No Cars Go - Arcade Fire
11. ...oh goddamn, it's Fall Out Boy but do you think I can remember the song name? I want to say What a Catch, Donnie but I think that's wrong.
12. Is DEFINITELY Counting Crows. Omaha? Maybe?
19. The theme from Firefly. No idea who the artist is.
And oh man, I know 20 but cannot place it. Is it REM?

#6, #8 and #19 are right. I knew you'd get MLK even if nobody else did - and there were at least 3 other U2 songs that I left out (I was using my 5-star playlist, and unsurprisingly I have a lot of U2 songs rated as 5 stars!).

#11 and #12 are the right artist, but the wrong song. That's the thing about FOB: if the song titles don't relate to the lyrics, how the hell are you supposed to remember them?

#20 is an Australian band, if that helps.

Hooray! That's way more than I usually get on these things full stop. And aww, FAIR. :D How'd you find the show? You still got to come up, yeah?

And okay, I will have to put on my thinking cap! That is SO TRUE about FOB, too - I have mnemonics for some of the song/title matchups, but... seriously, guys! Hee.

And that may well do, hrm. *goes to take another look*

#1 and #20 are right, but #14 is (possibly) even more cheesy than Tubthumping.

Damn, someone beat me to 1, and that's the only one I had any chance with. /o\ \manics/

You didn't leave out all the NZ artists 'cause no.5 is "Weather with You" by Crowded House! ;)

Heh, well, they really were two-thirds Australian. And I figured overseas people had a reasonable chance of knowing one of their big hits.

Ooooh oooh, I love this meme!

3- Zombie, The Cranberries! Love that song!

9- Angel, Sarah McLachlan

Aaaaand...that's all I know! I know the Arcade Fire ones, of course, but someone's got there first. Terrible music geek, huh?!

Go you!

It's funny, because I spend all day listening to music - and these are all songs from my 5-star playlist, so they're among my absolute favourites. And yet I had to google the lyrics of a surprising number of them, to double-check! So either I don't listen to the words as closely as I thought, or the singers really mumble ;-)
