Good work, Saulaac - I would've never guessed Toto - "Africa".

I've been banging my head against the wall on Song #6 also. Ouch. :confused:

I believe Mastercard and Visa are widely accepted in Ireland. TH, any more lines for us?

Yeah it’s a toughie, ribbons.

“Surely there must be a chivalrous person riding a horse breathing fire?” I can't tell who is breathing the fire? The cavalier/knight or the horse :laughing:

Kinda gives a Return to Forever ‘Romantic Warrior’ vibe, but that’s an instrumental album. Oh well, TH please help us with another snippet!

Well done. Didn't think anyone would get that. Can't add any more lines to the last one though, as it's the chorus and that would give it away. I suppose I can do another verse but I doubt it will help, probably make it tougher. If you want a hint I can give you that.
Look at the line about gods and demigods and see if that clicks with ya. You're the one who always gets it from one line and I think that might be the one to clinch it for you.

Do you guys want to give up on the last song so I can post the next round? Or are you still working on it?

"Holding Out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler!

That was a close one, TH. I almost threw the towel in. "Late at night, I toss and I turn" was the clincher.

Ribbons and y'all, prepare for Trollheart's fiercest round yet! :shycouch:

Hey well done! Thought the "streetwise Hercules" would give it away, but nice. You see why I couldn't do the next line.

Okay, round 8 coming up shortly.

Haha. “streetwise Hercules” is original and hilarious, as was your take on it. I can just imagine “streetwise Hercules” being said in the voice of Pauline Calf, followed by “ooh, wasn't he was a naughty bugger” :rolleyes:

Well done, Saulaac! :beer: No way I would have guessed that one.

Thanks for dreaming up all these lyrics, TH - not easy to do!

Fearing the next round. :eek:

Round 8

Song 1

Refrain from altering yourself in order to gain my approval:
You have always been very dependable up to nowm
And dream not of becoming commonplace to the extent that I wish no longer to lay eyes upon you.
Arriving where we are would have been impossible had I departed from you when things got rough;
For better, for worse, I accept you for what you are.

Answer: "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel

Song 2

At the beginning terror took hold of me, i was figuratively turned to stone as I wondered how I would go on alone.
However, after I had passed many nights considering your crimes my resolved strengthened and I discovered the power to exist without you.
And you have returned from beyond the stars;
I merely entered to encounter you here with an expression of remorse on your countenance.
Why did I not take appropriate security measures?
Why did I not demand back your method of ingress?
I would have done, had I been aware for even one moment you would return and be a nuisance to me.

Answer: "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor

Song 3

The highway is deserted, as is the strand;
It's palpable; autumn is on the way.
A lake that is vacant, as are the streets:
Sunset is unattended.
Passing your residence in my car despite the fact that I am aware you are not there.

Answer: "The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley

Song 4

Considering all that has passed between us you should be better attuned to my feelings, as I am to yours.
I am aware that good and evil are not at all the same thing.
But I have no intention of being a homewrecker.
Settle down if I walk in after my usual time,
For conflict between us makes us look like immature people of a younger age than we are.

Answer: "If You Don't Know Me By Now" by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes

Song 5

It's probably come as something of a surprise to you that I'm aware of your intentions to leave me
For another man of your past acquaintance, but you know I have more affection for you than he has;
I confess I was shocked myself when just recently the news was made known to me.

Answer: "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye

Song 6

Ah, existence exceeds your size and we are not the same.
How far I will take things, the measurement of space in your gaze.
Oh dear, I have spoken more than I had expected to:
I have arranged it.

Answer: "Losing My Religion" by REM
