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...

Hmm, I started the poll but realised that while I love the feeling of matching the out-of-context lyric up to the song, I really dislike the matching of song to songname (though the theme here is obviously quite cute for that). I just don't think of songtitles much I guess but remember them by album and position and stuff. I have a similar issue with the titles of novels - I tend to skim read them once at the beginning of reading the book and then forget them.

You could always fill in the band name and "the one that goes...." and claim a moral victory :)

(There are some answers of that sort of form already in there...)

I do that with some books - "The One With/Where..." is a relatively common book title in my head, and I blame Friends completely!

But not songs, for some reason.
