Lyrics Quiz 1 - Winner gets a PRIZE!

I'm all about the trivia lately. Remember the Totally Bitchin' Contest?

I saw some fun lyrics quizzes on Ramble Strip and hey freak recently, so I decided to resurrect an old quiz of mine that I posted on another website. Here's the deal:

You have a week to guess. After a week, the person with the most correct guesses (song, artist, or both) will win a song of your choice from iTunes! And NO GOOGLING! That's cheating, and if you cheat, I will throw a dodgeball at your head and tell the rest of the kids not to pick you for their team. Just kidding. I'll only throw the dodgeball at you.

Leave your answers in the comments or you can email them to me at joeparadox AT gmail DOT com.

THEME: Get to Know Danielle's Taste In Music

1
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows

2
And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
That this is not your dream
But you always believed in me

3
Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream

4
And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

5
This is a song to all my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears

6
Whatcha’ doin’ tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
Are you really alone
Who's stealin' your dreams
Why can't I bring you into my life
What would it take to make you see that I'm alive

7
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

8
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.

9
Well I don't have as many friends because
I'm not as pretty as I was
I've kicked myself at times because I've lied
So I will have to learn to stand my ground
I'll tell 'em I won't be around
I'll move on over to your town and hide

10
We've got stars directing our fate
And we're praying it's not too late
'Cause we know we're falling from grace

Have fun!

Answers:

1 - MMMBop - Hanson
2 - Home - Michael Buble
3 - Bablyon - David Gray
4 - I'll Be - Edwin McCain
5 - New Song - Howard Jones
6 - Invisible - Clay Aiken
7 - People are People - Depeche Mode
8 - The Remedy - Jason Mraz
9 - The Captain - Kasey Chambers
10 - Millenium- Robbie Williams

I saw the first one and was all smug. Like, "Oh ha ha, Danielle. I can read you like a book! This delightful little challenge is MINE!" Then I got to #2. And stopped dead in my tracks. Insert your own poop joke here.

Hm. I had Hanson and Edwin McCain. Clay was obviouser than obvious. "It all amounts to nothing in the end" was familiar but I couldn't quite place it. And "I'm not as pretty as I was" made me think of Kasey Chambers, but I don't know "The Captain" well enough to recognize it. So I give myself a total score of 4. I stink.

Jeez, the new quiz is even harder. I know #9, but that's about it . . .
