World's Least Obscure Song Quiz

1. Walk on your tip toes, don't try No Doz



2. Hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least



3. Three nights and days we sailed the sea
   me think of girl constantly



4. We are vain and we are blind
   I hate people when they're not polite



5. 'Cause all the children know
   They're all slidin' down into the valley
   They're all slipping on the same snow



6. I'll shout and scream, I'll kill the king, I'll rail at all his servants



7. And I forget just why I taste
   Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile

You're right; I know all except #6.

[sjo.livejournal.com]

#6 is "Street Fightin' Man" by the Rolling Stones.

Well, you're not exactly the median case.

But yes, they're all songs that virtually everyone on my friends list ought to be familiar with.

Then I probably shouldn't admit that I only recognized no. 3.
Oops.

Well, I didn't say the majority of my friends ought to recognize the songs from those lyrics...

is it bad that i don't recognize a single oen of these?

I had to Google #5 (which I shoud've known) and #7 (which I'm not ashamed to say I didn't know). #2 bugged me for a long time. I could recite the lyrics that surrounded it, but not place the song. Eventually got it.

I was convinced that #3 was The Banana Boat song for a while. ;-)

Do I know all these songs? Sure. Did I recognize any of them from their lyrics? Only #6. Ah well.

I am an outlyer who lives in a cave. I recognized none of these. With Google's help, I found out I've heard #2, 3, 4 but never heard any of these lyrics (largely through not glomming onto more than a word or two at a time in any of them); recognized the name of the artist for #1, 6, and 7 but can't say I've ever heard them; and know neither the artist nor the song for #5. Should I get sound into my cave?
