Snagged from Snailbones. It's a Sunday, so... *shrugs as if that explains everything*
Some of these are quite embarassing... in my defense I can only say that some of these songs were acquired for and by other people. lol  I'd forgotten some of them were still in my library....

I am really truly terrible with lyrics, but I recognize two songs!!

#9 Kinks: Dedicated Follower of Fashion. I love the Kinks & have seen them a number of time (long ago).

#8 is Windmills of your Mind but I wonder which version you're listing to :) There are versions and there are versions...

Yay! :)
I have two songs by the Kinks... that one is my favorite, actually. It's hilarious!
Mm, I have three versions of that song, but that one was the Sting version. I prefer Noel Harrison's version, though.

I haven't heard the Noel Harrison version. I have a CD of Dusty Springfield's greatest hits that I listen to in the car and Windmills is on there. Wasn't it the theme to the Steve McQueen's
Thomas Crown Affair movie?

They have it on YT. Here's the link if you'd like to listen to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEhS9Y9HYjU

Yes, it was. :) Good movie, although the ending kind of left you hanging.

I like his version, he sings it like a chanson, makes it very personal.

Dusty's version is much different, but then she's got such an amazing voice she has to show it off :)

It is very different, but I like Dusty's version, too. After watching The Thomas Crown Affair, I looked it up and got the song. Sting's version is my least favorite, I think.
