He plays Billy Bragg and a bit of Green Day, and I'm so bored of the USA

It's Thursday! That's, like, practically Friday and thus sounds like a good time for a lyrics quiz.

Simple scoring system: one point for every correct song-title. You can go for extra credit and add the artist if you want, but it will only gain you honour and glory. Please note: correct title. There is a link between all the songs in the quiz, I'm sure you'll work it out.

Responses from my stringent beta-testing and product-development team (or ChrisC, as he's also known) suggest the quiz has come out rather more difficult than intended, but we'll give it a whirl...

Er... Dr Mason here claiming 2/25. Please may I win a prize anyway? Chocolate will do just fine, thank you.

I don't see why not. Highest score by an entrant called Sam?

[sammason.livejournal.com]

Oh all right then.

Obviously we need to wait and see if sampiano comes out of the woodwork, but I reckon you're a shoe-in :)

You're doing wonders for my self-esteem. Natch. If sampiano is reading this, I can only hope that phe takes pity on this academic whose idea of culture is something that's done with cells in a containment lab.

Come on, we have to have a level playing field for people called Sam! You wouldn't just want to be given a prize would you?

(I dunno, maybe you would if it were suitably chocolatey ;)

Yes I would! Do you need to ask?
