everybody can join! take a short snippet of lyric from a song and see if people can guess what song it is.
i'll begin with an easy one

"how many roads must a man walk down
before he can call himself a man"

maybe folks can find some, video friendly lyrics here perhaps

The answer, my friend, is

"Blowing in the Wind"

But who sings it....gah! I'm gonna go out on a limb....Peter, Paul, and Mary?

Google confirms me. As well as listing Bob Dylan...huh. Never heard his version of it.

Anyway, here's something more modern (or is it?):

"Dodge Swinger, 1973
Top down, chassis low
Panel dim, light drive"

"...T-minus whenever it feels right, Galaxy 500"

Clutch- Spacegrass my friend

now what is this?

"Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much"

This one really threw me for a loop. But it is sooo simple.
I will give Sousaphonist a shot at it first.

Here's another one (less prolific though):

Sleep with one eye open
Grippin' your pillow tight
Exit light, enter night
Take my hand, off to never-never-land.

I <i>think</i> this is Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A.", but I'm not sure.

Pity that all anyone can understand of that song is the easily repeatable chorus, because as a result, they end up thinking that it's actually supposed to be a patriotic song.

Anyway, here's another one, from a recent Australian synthpop group...

"If I surrendered to your arms
Wasn't captured by your charms
There'd be nothing left to say
Nothing left to say"

I already tried Google for these lyrics, and they're nowhere to be found, so good luck.

that is teh Metallica with enter sandman

hmm

a classic

"I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die"

BTW. I really agree with the Springsteen comment, all to many see him as a flagwaving moron, everybody should listen to the record Nebraska then people would see ze truth!

Folsom Prison Blues by the man in black himself Johnny Cash R.I.P

here's one:
"I know her, used to follow everywhere we'd go
and it's so sweet, now she's sleeping with a boy I know
the boy I know, knows a pretty girl in every town
and the way they look, they were made to let each other down"
