Short-subject lyrics quiz

[purchasemonkey]

   Here is the promised lyrics quiz. It is both a lyrics quiz and a puzzle; there is a theme and a specific answer suggested by that theme. This one is audience participation; you get to post your own snippet for others to guess once you think you know the answer! Wow, what fun! It's pretty short (they can't all be 90 entries long).

I think that's Nickelback, and I think the song's called "Love Me When I'm Gone", but that may just be the chorus.

Re: #3

No, not quite. You have a slightly-wrong title and a completely wrong artist.

When I'm Gone by Three Doors Down

Re: #3

Correct!

1. Don McLean, American Pie

10 ??

[robyngoodfelloe]

"Life is demanding without understanding/ I saw the sign...."

Re: 10 ??

[purchasemonkey]

I don't think so.

How about:

10. "I've done a lot / God knows I've tried / to find the truth"

Sorry, but no.

[purchasemonkey]

I'm fairly sure you're off-track here.

Re: Sorry, but no.

[eriktdahl]

No?

I think 4 is "Lady in Red" and it's about a certain cheerleader.
Number 7 is a time-tested classic in Japan...

Re: Sorry, but no.

You're wrong about #4. I believe you're reaching for a theme here, and it's not the television show in question.

[shoutingboy]

Um, I know #1 and #8. And I don't know the artist for #8. And other people have already got 'em.

So I have absolutely no fricking idea.

For that reason:

#10: "She said 'there's something about you that really reminds me of money'..."

[ophymirage]

I love that song! :-)

Well, you get points for sincerity...

...and I had to Google your snippet, but no, it's not an acceptable answer.
