Quiz-- Rock Lyrics in Guitar Songs
I feel so guilty about my apparent lack of television knowledge that I have decided to post one of those fun and slightly annoying quizzes about music. The following lyrics are contained in a reputable critical source's review of the best guitar songs of all time. Especially since Guitar Hero is so popular now, an interest factor certainly must exist for these tunes. The list is rock based and spans all time frames and subdivisions of the form. Your job is to identify the lyrics in the guitar songs and name the title of the song. Good luck. Answers will follow at a later date. E-mail entries or put them on the site to compete.

1. Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
2. You've been learnin', baby, I bean learnin',
All them good times, baby, baby, I've been yearnin',
3. I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
4. Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin' out over the line
Oh, Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
5. I'm going to Wichita Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
6. Hello woman of my dreams
This is not
the way it seems
Purple words
on a grey background
To be a woman
and to be turned down
7. I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend,
hey Baby, I could never steal U from another
It's such a shame our friendship had 2 end
8. A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay
9. I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild
10. And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call rock and roll
11. You got your spell on me, baby.
You got your spell on me, baby.
Yes, you got your spell on me, baby,
Turnin' my heart into stone;
12. Actin' funny but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky.
13. I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
Tried to grow a little wiser
Little better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Bread and butter for a smile
14. Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
15. The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river.
16. When the chimes ring five, six, and seven,
We'll be right in seventh heaven.
17. There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
18. Sold in a market down in New Orleans.
Scarred old slaver know he's doin' alright.
Hear him whip the women just around midnight.
