Friday 10: What if the cure is worse than the disease?
Serve me up some pretty, pretty people
The answers for last week’s set are up. Five people guessed eight lyrics. On they high side, so congratulations! The two missing songs were the most political of the set, Depeche Mode’s Everything Counts and CAKE’s late 2010s single Sinking Ship.
That’s a live video of Depeche Mode above. I found a few live videos from when the song was first released, but they all look like they’re twelve. So I’m much more comfortable with these old dudes.
Speaking of “old dudes,” we have a few in this set.
The Rules:
- No googling
- Post both the name and the artist in the comments
- I’ll except covers, assuming I can find them
Once you’re done, give Glen’s a shot!
