How well do you know your Oldies? Can you name the songs that contain the following colorful phrases in their lyrics? Please only use Google Search as a last resort.

1.  He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole.

2. It’s heaven when you, find romance on your menu.

3. Snot running down his nose, greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.

4. Fame and fortune is a magnet, it can pull you far away from home.

5. I’m hanging on a hope, but I’m all right.

6. He used to carry his guitar in a gunnysack.

7. While Lennon read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park.

8. I’d sing like a violin, if I were in his arms.

8. They’re angling in Laguna in Cerro Azul.

9. Every form of refuge has its price.

10. Sont les mots qui vent tres bien ensemble.
