[This game is now closed. Answers and winners will be posted shortly. :) Thanks for playing!]
This week we have a guest host/game-setter ;). I'm home for Spring Break and I mentioned to my father that I was running this community, and he immediately started naming songs he thought would be good in a game. So I let him pick out ten songs (I picked the bonus) and made the game per his instructions. ;) I'll admit, some of these I wouldn't be able to guess. But he had a lot of fun putting it together, so I hope you all enjoy. :)
The Rules:
- You get one point for the song title and one point for the artist. You get half a point for another artist who has recorded the song.
- You can enter more than once if you remember more answers later.
- By my count, there are 20 possible points, plus 2 bonus points.
- As always, please don't put the lyrics in a search engine.

The calliope crashed to the ground

Burned the place to the ground

Oh, oh, oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly
Any guesses? :)
