When I read this quiz of lyrics in alphabetical order, I remarked to Chad that some of the songs were given away by single words. Combined with a dim recollection of Izzle Pfaff's 2003 two-word lyrics quiz, this set me off on yet another cat-vacuuming project, to wit:
The Very Short Lyrics Quiz
(Some of these are or could be two words, but I decided not to limit myself because I couldn't get any of Izzle Pfaff's.)
I tried to play fair, picking phrases that struck me as distinctive from songs well-known generally or among likely readers. I will add hints later if necessary. In alphabetical order:
- a suicide rap
- an Italian poet
- angels in the architecture
- as vicious as Roman rule
- eighteen to one
- got suits and cases
- play-doh spine
- shotgun shine
- stories and cigarettes
Edit: this was a poor choice. Have a full line: "stories and cigarettes ruined lives of lesser girls."
- the baffled king
Updated April 1 with a better clue to the one unguessed lyric.
