Ok. I'll come up with something. In the meantime, just out of curiosity, why do you note some people as x + x, instead of just the sum?

A + B
A = score total from last update
B = points accumulated since last update

(gives you an idea who has been playing in the past round)

1.
Mm ba ba de
Um bum ba de
Um bu bu bum da de
[...] pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
[...] that brings a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da - that's okay

2.
Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

3.
[...]
The girl who once had me down
[...]
The girl who once pushed me around

It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come,
She's [...]

4. (Bonus song - popular band, obscure song, same theme)
Brooding in the tower
Watching o'er his land
Holding ev'ry creature
Helplessly they stand
Gaze into his prisms
Knowing they are near
Lead them to the dungeons
Spectres numb with fear
They bow defeated

* Only 1 point. The title is not "blah."

** Correct. Going for a sweep?

Always... but in this case, doubtful...

If anyone has a chance, you do. I' know you've heard all 4.

Now I remember... "Under the Bridge" is the name of the song... theme is "UNDER" ?

** Two more. You're more than half way there.

Since when is "I'know" a contraction?

**...demolishing TT's hopes of a clean sweep. TT already got the theme, though.

Sorry. They don't even have a song called that. I think you're thinking of the bridge for Once in a Lifetime:

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

 

[kbomb106]

Only the bonus song remains, and it's an obscure one, but I have faith in you guys.

Yep... that is indeed what was rattling around in the ol' noggin...

Next clue for #4 (pretty please)

Instrumental continues.

Sorry, red; those are all the words. I figure that either you or Tt should get this one. Tt should know it because we talked about the album it's on just last week.

Would it help if I posted the tablature?

CLUE: It's part 2 of a 3 part song.
CLUE: It's from 1975.

Its by Rush... Carress of Steel...

Remember the theme. *, nonetheless.

The start of Armageddon, it was just another day
We all saw the news nothing to say
So many friends are missing, our family members gone
So we all pray that God help them be strong
And now we stand together, remembering that day
The lives we live will never be the same

We don't know why, the innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change
And we don't know why, but we know it's not right
Don't know why so many had to die
I don't know why so many had to die

Hate is turned to others, for their religion or their skin
But hate can't solve the problem it began
Everyone is angry, people are afraid
And no one knows what decisions will be made

We don't know why, the innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change
And we don't know why, but we know it's not right
Don't know why so many had to die
I don't know why so many had to die

We don't know why, the innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change
And we don't know why, but we know it's not right
Will any of us ever be the same
Will any of this ever be the same
We don't know why, the innocent die
Will any of us ever be the same
Will any of this ever be the same
