I'm gonna go with Bryan Ferry for E. I seem to remember the video for the song and it was Bryan.

Right on both, arse. I'm giving JL half points on her answers. =P

6 Relax - Frankie goes to Hollywood

Right on!

I have personally sung all those songs, so the artist is: Me.

posted by JanetLand 03 April | 13:11

I hate whoever sings 7 just on principle.

Ha ha... leesh, if it's any consolation, the way it's sung, it sounds like the author didn't quite think out the line and then, embarrassed to have nearly admitted being until recently a virgin (oh no!), tacked on the "with you" at the end. Like, "oops!"

F is Toad the Wet Sprocket. I think it's "Walk on the Ocean".

8 is Pearl Jam, Effin' [sic] Up

posted by bearwife 03 April | 14:42

F is correct, 8 is not the original artist (or the proper, un-bowdlerized name) ;)

posted by Eideteker 03 April | 14:57

Well, OK, original artist is Neil Young. Given my constraints -- only do the four letter word thing in person -- the title is right. Note that the title is F'in Up, not F'ing Up.

posted by bearwife 03 April | 15:25

Also, A is Whitney Houston's So Emotional.

Given my constraints -- only do the four letter word thing in person -- the title is right.

I count at least three four-letter words in that sentence alone. But yes, it's Neil Young's Fuckin' Up. And A is also correct.
