The Cryptic Song Titles Game
I've tried this before on another message board, let's see if it works here. Try and guess the song from the clue... They're all popular music, from a range of genres. Some I think are easy, others are rather tough.
1. The bucket, we hear, is getting lighter in colour
2. Mr Scrooge and Johnny B
3. Hi, I'm a member of this board too
4. Never in the wrong place am I
5. Informally greet the green-eyed monster
6. Ambulating towards the 4th president's lower extremities
7. Am I permitted to...?
8. Keeping an eye on Christie's creations
9. Pose your question to someone else
10. In London: Without the modern-day Clink

Re: The Cryptic Song Titles Game
Nope, that's not the one I'm looking for for #7.

Re: The Cryptic Song Titles Game
OK, clues for the three unsolved ones:
3. What different names have posters here at Domebo discussed calling ourselves (i.e. instead of 'Dopers')?
7. You might find the Sixties band responsible for this one in one of Domebo's subforums...
10. The clue refers to one of the Clink's modern-day equivalents...

Re: The Cryptic Song Titles Game
jali: One of the guesses in the above list is really close. The song is from the noughties - It was a big hit in the UK, used on an advert, I'm not sure if it crossed over the Atlantic or not.
I'll give this one more day then post the answers. Next time I'll try and make sure the songs I choose are well-known in the US as well as here. #10, though, I know for a fact was a huge hit in the US - but the clue isn't really Yank-friendly!

Re: The Cryptic Song Titles Game
Even though I can't seem to get this one right, I love this game and hope you keep the clues coming.

3.We Are Bohemians
3. Hello Bohemian Road

Re: The Cryptic Song Titles Game
I can conclude that you probably aren't familiar with the song, rather than not getting the clue.
Here's the missing answers.
3. 'Bohemian Like You' - The Dandy Warhols
7. 'Have I The Right' - The Honeycombs
10. 'No Scrubs' - TLC
-
Re: The Cryptic Song Titles Game
#10 - I don't get it and I know the song.
Please, more!
-
Re: The Cryptic Song Titles Game
#10 - I suspected it probably wouldn't be got by anyone who's not British. The Scrubs (Wormwood Scrubs) is one of the most famous prisons in the country that is currently in use, it's in West London. So, it's not unreasonable to describe it as the modern-day Clink, hence the clue.
