Lyric Game - I Can't Believe The News Today (Final)

[xthread]

There are still three entirely unrecognized songs on the list, but I'm guessing people aren't going to get them, so here's the final list, with scores!

I think next time around, I'll have to grant additional points for songs identified later. People who don't see the post in the first day are being a bit unfairly penalized for not responding early enough.

1. What You Feel, Buffy Musical soundtrack
   corpsefairy, melissa_actress
   Why'd you run away? Don't you like my style?
   
2. One Thing Leads To Another, The Fixx
   vvvexation, hydrolagus, malabar
   The deception with tact, just what are you trying to say?
   
3. I Do Both Jay and Jane, Larissa
   tacky_tramp, feyandstrange
   I met a boy, his name was Jay, he was so fine
      I met a girl, her name was Jane, she wants to be mine
   
4. Living in the Plastic Age, The Buggles
   hydrolagus, ragani
   Every day my metal friend, shakes my bed at 6am
   
5. Sunday Bloody Sunday, U2
   blue_estro, kest, shoutingboy, vvvexation, michiexile, mangosteen, tronpublic, malabar, plymouth, rikibeth
   I can't believe the news today
   
6. Waiting on a Friend, The Rolling Stones
   tronpublic, bloodredrosev - This was the least recognized Major Pop Hit on the list.
   Watching girls, passin' by, it ain't the latest thing
      I'm just standin' in a doorway
   
7. I'm on Fire, Bruce Springsteen
   shoutingboy, mangosteen, hydrolagus, anthologie, malabar, corpsefairy, jeffpaulsen, zunger, rikibeth
   Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
   
8. Born to Run, Bruce Springsteen, was looking for the cover by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
   shoutingboy, 3diff, tronpublic, rikibeth
   In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway american dream
   
9. The Waiting, Tom Petty
   shoutingboy
   Oh, Baby, don't it feel like heaven right now
   
10. Hell, Squirrel Nut Zippers
    mangosteen, hydrolagus, 3diff, ratontheroad, ragani, anthologie, malabar, corpsefairy, jessicac, zunger, rikibeth
    In the afterlife, you could be headed for the serious strife
    
11. Boy in the Bubble, Paul Simon
    shoutingboy, src, hydrolagus, tronpublic, corpsefairy
    It was a slow day, and the sun was beating
    
12. Eleanor Rigby, The Beatles, was looking for the Industrial cover by Godhead
    blue_estro, kest, shoutingboy, vvvexation, michiexile, solan_t, src, hydrolagus, 3diff, ragani, anthologie, tronpublic, malabar, corpsefairy, jessicac, zunger, plymouth, rikibeth
    Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
    
13. Blinded by the Light, Bruce Springsteen, although I was looking for the Mannfred Mann cover.
    src, tronpublic, jeffpaulsen, rikibeth
    Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
    
14. Hold on Tight, ELO. I didn't realize this was originally a Springsteen song when I put it on the disc.
    mangosteen, src, 3diff
    Hold on tight to your dream
    
15. Fever, performed by LA artist Devil Doll
    vvvexation, src, malabar. Most people don't realize that Peggy Lee was actually covering an earlier, quite successful, hit.
    Never know how much i love you
    
16. Rich Girl, Hall and Oates, was looking for the cover artist Bird and the Bee
    src, tronpublic, malabar, jeffpaulsen. It's really interesting how people misremember the lyrics to this song, too.
    You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
    
17. Rapture, by the artist known as Vaio until Sony threatened to sue her into a neighboring plane of existence, thereafter known as Iio. Because that's not confusing.
    The night I laid my eyes on you
       Felt everything around me move
    
18. Dirty Laundry, by Bitter:Sweet
    Tasty, tasty torchy badness
    I've got a bad boy and that's alright with me
       His dirty laundry's nothing that I can't keep clean
    
19. Surrender, by Lunascape
    A lovely, lovely breakup song
    The daylight, cried for a cure
       I will wake over you
    
20. Pure Imagination, originally performed by Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. I was actually looking for a recent techno mix performed by the band Ford
    vvvexation, mangosteen, corpsefairy, jeffpaulsen, rmd, iamradar, blooderedrosev, darthsunshine, noirrosaleen
    Hold your breath, make a wish, count to three
       Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure imagination
