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?
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*
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 ;-)

#20 is an Australian band, if that helps.

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?!
