End of Summer Lyrics Challenge! [More:]

1. Stick it in the fridge stick it in the fridge stick it in the fridge
2. And if it looks like this then you're doing it right
3. I'm spunky. I like my oatmeal lumpy.
4. You had to wait but you could hear it
5. And as you wipe off beads of sweat slowly you say I'm not there yet
6. I can't hide you from the government
7. Walk without rhythm, you won't attract the worm
8. Carved your name across three counties
9. I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine
10. And I stepped outside to smoke myself a j

I hope these are super easy!
Does #7 have something to do with Dune?

Other than that, I haven't got a clue.

7 MUST have to do with Dune.

The #7 lyrics were probably inspired by Dune, but the song is from 2001.

Yes it is! BP you got one! VSOB too.

#8 is by my next girlfriend, Neko Case. It's from This Tornado Love You and, really, wouldn't it be WICKED if a tornado could carve your name across three counties? WHOA.

Oh, and I missed #1 first time through! That's G. Love and Special Sauce doing Cold Beverage! My recently departed friend LOVED G. Love.

Also, #2 is haunting me...I can almost hear it.

There you are richat! Yes you are more than correct.

Halfway. Remaining:

2, 4, 5, 6, 9

Expanded lyrics/hints soon.

#6 - I hid my yo-yo in the garden/I can't hide you from the government

#2 - Clap your hands once clap your hands twice and if it looks like this then you're doing it right. Huge earworm song.

#4 & #5 - American pop acts that hit in this decade. #4 was a big hit, #5 is a deeper cut from a huge album, and is probably the hardest to get. It has a slow tempo.

#4 - You had to wait but you could hear it on the

Getting ready to leave, so:

#4 - AM Radio, Everclear
#5 - Secret, Maroon 5
