I will try to mix in some more modern tunes. Remember - looking for original artist and song title.

1. "Should I fly to Los Angeles?
Find my a--hole brother"

2. "Man in a silk suit hurries by
Catches the poor old lady's eye
Just for fun he says 'Get a job'"

3. " The first of December was covered with snow
So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston"

4. "I'd like to get some sleep before I travel,
But if you've got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in"

5. "Frustrated Women. Frustrated women have to be in by 12 o'clock"

6. "And he's talking to Davy,
Who's still in the Navy.
And probabaly will be for life"

7. "He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day
When the NY Times said 'God is Dead'"

8. "Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait"

9. "Some people born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves"

10. "Half my life's in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and from sages"

This should keep you busy for a while.

You continue to shine. Next:

11. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"

12. "Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass.
Seven years bad luck, the good things in your past"

13. " Hey, man I gotta straighten my face.
This mellow-thighed chick just put my spine out of place"

14. "Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job,
But I get no offers.
Just a 'Come on' from the whores on 7th Avenue"

15. "Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say"

16. "Alimony, Alimony payin' your bills"

17. "I'm coming to liberate you, confiscate you.
I want to be your man"

18. "And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality"

19. "Everybody here is out of sight.
They don't bark and they don't bite"

20. "Just get me to the airport And put me in a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane. I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain"

Jim,
Thats right,
Joe Walsh song name Ordinary average guy
Joe's got some great/ funny lines in his songs, especially if you see him in concert and they have the giant video screens with his home movies!

I'm not sure if folks are stumped or getting bored with this. I hope it's the former, so I will add a little info on the ones that haven't been fully guessed:

12. Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass.
Seven years bad luck, the good things in your past
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer"

15. "Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way"

17 . We got Springsteen, but need the song title
"I'm coming to liberate you, confiscate you.
I want to be your man
Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny
But now your sad, your mama's mad
And your papa says he know that I don't have any money"

19. "Everybody here is out of sight.
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everbody was ____________"

And for those who have stumped us - don't keep us in suspense. We give up (at least I do). The Who song is bugging me!

19. King Harvest:Dancin' in the Moonliight
