Hope things are going smoothly for you!

Lyrics: The last one was Bob Dylan's Rainy Day Women #12 and 35 from Blonde on Blonde in 1966, spotted immediately by a_t_rain. (I tried Googling around to find out what it was actually about. Since this is Dylan, though, no-one was quite sure ...)

As it was modestyrabnott who gave me the idea for this with her 1980s lyrics quizzes, I think a classic of the era is in order:

Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio, he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
And sang along, who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever ... (1980s)

I think that one's "Come On, Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners. But I'm not positive, because the only words I've ever understood of that song are "Come on Eileen". But it's a fun song regardless!

That's the one! I actually played it to make sure -- I remembered 'poor old Johnnie Ray', but the scanning on the rest is weird. :)

That's the line that I recognised. Dungarees, yay!

As always, I have pretty much no clue when it comes to lyrics :).

OT-wise, is there something wrong with this weird age function LJ seems to have acquired, or did you put an adult content warning on this on purpose?

Just wondering - the function annoys me to no end per se (it feels like people are whispering at the back of a room in a kindergarten), but this felt strange...

I flagged the journal en bloc with the first-level warning 'adult content' as a preemptive CYA measure (because I wouldn't claim that it was entirely suitable for 13 year olds), which has the unfortunate side-effect of tripping people up if they haven't specified an age. (I hadn't, but I've subsequently stuck an age of *cough* 18 on the profile page to avoid these warnings. Since it's set not to display birth year, that doesn't change anything.)

I might reconsider this if it annoys people.

Sorry - figured it out now, and the annoying part is gone. I still dislike the function like whoa... Risky.
