Musical Monday #134
Welcome to the 134th edition of Musical Monday, the weekly quiz that Soccer Dad and I alternate hosting. As always, the challenge is to identify the title and artist of each song quote below, as well as the common theme of the entire set of songs.
The division this week consists of two groups of songs as well as two individual songs each in their own "group". This arrangement is significant, as is the order of the sets and number of songs in each, as will become clear once the theme is fully solved.
1) "There is no one compares with you"
2) "Freeze all your expressions into words"
3) "Play in sports and skin dive"
4) "All I want for you to do is take my body home"
5) "It's all been a pack of lies"
6) "But you could've said it better"
7) "Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside"
8) "Desert rose, dreamed I saw a desert rose"
9) "Nothing grows and life ain't very pretty"
10) "Do my crying and my sighing, laugh at yesterday"
11) "And his hunger burns, so he starts to roam the streets at night"
12) "When there's no one else around, I'm gonna take you girl and hold you"
13) "Three lullabies in an ancient tongue"
14) "Life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy"
15) "You won't find a thing to chew"
16) "And the grand facade, so soon will burn"
17) "Don't you know that I'll always be true?"
18) "I'm looking for a woman, but the girl don't come"
19) "But nothin' is real, and no one can feel like you"
20) "Near the village, the peaceful village"
21) "Broken ice still melts in the sun"
22) "I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes"
23) "You can't come back and think you are still mine"
24) "Light a candle, lay flowers at the door"
25) "You left me cold and I'm standin' here freezin"
26) "I've pulled the trigger right at you on billboards and movie screens"
27) "Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime"
28) "Sometimes I feel like I am drunk behind the wheel"
29) "And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along"
30) "You got your high-heeled sneakers on, slip-in mules"
31) "The all-night watchmen have had their fun"
Good luck and enjoy!

1) In My Life, John Lennon
Oooooh, I think I've got it.
31 is a Genesis song, right?
So then 2) is (I see you) In a different light.
And I think I just figured out 31)
The lamb lies down on Broadway by Genesis.
Very clever.
March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb.
March has 31 days, the first 20 of which belong to the end of winter while the remaining 11 belong to the beginning of spring.
12) In the midnight hour - Wilson Pickett
14 - In the Summertime - Mungo Jerry
27 is by Three Dog Night. I want to say it is called "Out in the Country," but I could be wrong.
8.In God's Country-U2
12.The Midnight Hour-
20.The Lion Sleeps Tonight-
22.Out in the Street-Bruce Springsteen
1.In My Life-The Beatles
"In my time of dying" was also done by Bob Dylan. And Dylan and Zeppelin were probably both inspired by the Blind Willie Johnson version.
15 - In the Year 2525 - Zager & Evans
Is 10)
In your wildest dreams by the Moody Blues?
Are Out of my head by Little Anthony and the Imperials (maybe it's Going out of my head) or Out of the Blue by Neil Young (though that might be My my Hey Hey.) included?
Whoops, 10) is
In My Room by the Beach Boys
So is "In your wildest dreams" out there?
"Out of Time" by the Rolling Stones and "Out in the Street" by the Who would also fit the theme.
Would the meter and tone of 23 fit "Out of time?" Or is the title "You're out of time?"
Running a bit late, but let's see what we have:
1) In My Life - The Beatles
2) In a Different Light - The Bangles

31) The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis
17. Wow, nobody got this. In-a-gadda-da-vida by Iron Butterfly.
30. Might be called "Out of sight." By James Brown and also recorded by Them (Van Morrison).
March sure had a lot of ruach this year. What a clever and well-constructed theme this was!
Thanks, Soccer Dad, Clayton, TRN, Yitzchak, and Laura! The four sub-topics were songs with "In", "Lion", "Out", and "Lamb" respectively, alluding to the folkism, "March goes like a lion and out like a lamb" - appropitae for my last MM of that month. TRN also caught the fact that the number of songs in each group lined up with the number of winter/spring days in the month. Nice job!
