music redux
The thing I posted Friday was the McDonald's Menu Song. Not only was it (if I remember correctly) in a commercial, but it was this giveaway thing: You could somehow get a record (yes, record) of the song, and if your record featured the entire "crowd" singing the song correctly, you won some sort of big prize. This video seems to have been created using the recording on a losing record.
Also, I never did post the results of my lyrics quiz, did I?
1. I am just a poor boy and my story's seldom told.
Simon and Garfunkel - The Boxer. 7.5 correct guesses.
2. Winter's cold, spring erases, and the calm away by the storm is chasing.
Dave Matthews Band - Satellite. No one got it!
3. The crime was looking up for truth. And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode, I try to trace them to my youth.
Indigo Girls - Galileo. 8 correct guesses.
4. Don't wanna wait 'til tomorrow. Why put it off another day?
Van Halen - Right Now. No one got it.
5. Slip inside the eye of your mind. Don't you know you might find a better place to play.
