I'm afraid of Americans....I'm afraid I can't help it.

[raybear]

In case anyone is curious, here are the answers to last Friday's lyrics poll.

1. Yesterday's a dream, I face the morning crying on a breeze, the pain is calling

Barry Manilow's Mandy

2. She is like a cat in the dark and then she is the darkness. She rules her life like a fine skylark, and when the sky is starless...

Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon

3. What should I do? Grab a blunt or a brew? Grab a .22 and run out there and put this fcking violence in you?

Wu-Tang Clan's I Can't Go to Sleep

4. I only tell you this cause I'm easy to get rid of, but not if you fall in love

Magnetic Fields's Absolutely Cuckoo

5. In the corners of my mind, I just can't seem to find a reason to believe that I can break free

Mary Mary's Shackles (Praise You)

Well, I didn't know anything but 'Mandy' [shush] so I didn't participate but I enjoyed reading it a lot so please do it again. =)
And my question for The Troll From Dallas, 'What exactly is wrong with displaying one's own knowledge and knack for recall?' Twerp.

I didn't participate because I didn't recognize any - but I know the song you're quoting today!

David Bowie and NIN "I'm Afraid of Americans"!

Sorry, just had to get that out there.

I am happy that you like that song - or it's in your head. A good one for Mondays...

Well, the name of the Costa song was in the lyric, which I'm sure is why it got the most votes. Everyone thought you would throw a freebie in there.

Frighteningly enough, I did not cheat. :-)
