I don’t know if we’re going to match that this week. Among the lyrics that went unidentified was Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life,” It’s fascinating to think that a song from certified box office flop <em>Daredevil</em> (the version starring Ben Affleck) was pretty much an inescapable pop culture moment as MTV and the radio was quick to jump on the NĂŒ Metal single. Part of its signature sound is, infamously, the rap verse from Paul McCoy, which writer and lead vocalist Amy Lee added under protest after the label insisted on it following <em>ten demos</em>. </p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">…a couple of years later Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee revealed that her record label had refused to release it unless she agreed to make it a duet.<br>“It was presented to me as, ‘You’re a girl singing in a rock band, there’s nothing else like that out there, nobody’s going to listen to you,” she claimed. “‘You need a guy to come in and sing back-up for it to be successful.'”<br>—<a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2007/nov/22/captionherethepop?\">The Guardian</a></p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lee would also <a href=\"https://www.kerrang.com/evanescence-fallen-amy-lee-bring-me-to-life-going-under-my-immortal-interview-anniversary-cover-story\">tell George Garner of “Kerrang!”</a> that the addition of a male rapper to “Bring Me to Life” was a position she had to argue the label <em>down</em> to, saying that if the label had had its way, “then there would be a rap on, like, eight out of 11 songs on Fallen.” Lee has since re-recorded the song to reflect both how she would approach it now with years more experience in music production, <em>and</em> the way she originally wanted the song to sound without the male vocals.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EVANESCENCE - "Bring Me To Life (Synthesis)" (Official Audio - Synthesis)\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/HWFnlfDpnLE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n</div></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the week before, the two lyrics identified out of 10 is <em>a lot closer</em> to how this game usually goes. Among the lyrics left unidentified was one of my old favorites, “I’ve Got a Radio,” by The Coyote Sisters. The trio of Marty Gwinn Townsend, RenĂ©e Armand, and Leak Kunkel (who was Cass Elliot’s younger sister) had their biggest success with “Straight from the Heart (Into Your Life)” which topped out at 66 on the US Hot 100 and 16 on the Adult Contemporary chart. “I’ve Got a Radio” is their only other single, and it reached 39 on Adult Contemporary, but didn’t place on the Hot 100.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The below music video is really the best place I’ve been able to <em>find</em> the song, as it’s not officially available anywhere. It was produced for Michael Nesmith’s critically successful (but short-lived) TV series “Television Parts,” and as a kid I encountered it on the compilation video that was released to rental stores, <a href=\"https://archive.org/details/dr.-ducks-super-secret-all-purpose-sauce-full\"><em>Dr. Duck’s Super Secret All-Purpose Sauce</em>.</a> That was also the first place I ever encountered Jimmy Buffet, and it took me <em>years</em> to realize that the “Margaritaville” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise” guy was the same guy who did my <em>second</em> favorite video on that VHS tape, <a href=\"https://youtu.be/fmwqJ1F_kUA?si=cVy4lA21BklO2lDd\">“La Vie Dansante.”</a></p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Coyote Sisters - I&apos;ve Got A Radio\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/rMSClTZj9LQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n</div></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Featured Photo by <a href=\"https://www.pexels.com/photo/serene-sunset-over-calm-ocean-waters-35725878/\">Animesh Paul</a></p>"

Except, of course, to tell you that 7 lyrics were correctly identified last week! 4 by Fred, 2 by Frodis Caper, and 1 by John. Now, get in the comments and identify this weekâs lyrics! Edit: The answers are now posted below, as well as on this handy YouTube playlist! đș Remember, no searchinâ (and definitely no asking an LLM), and you get credit for identifying a different cover version than the one I list â but only if itâs a cover that I can actually find.

I donât know if weâre going to match that this week. Among the lyrics that went unidentified was Evanescenceâs âBring Me to Life,â Itâs fascinating to think that a song from certified box office flop Daredevil (the version starring Ben Affleck) was pretty much an inescapable pop culture moment as MTV and the radio was quick to jump on the NĂŒ Metal single. Part of its signature sound is, infamously, the rap verse from Paul McCoy, which writer and lead vocalist Amy Lee added under protest after the label insisted on it following ten demos. âŠa couple of years later Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee revealed that her record label had refused to release it unless she agreed to make it a duet.âIt was presented to me as, âYouâre a girl singing in a rock band, thereâs nothing else like that out there, nobodyâs going to listen to you,â she claimed. ââYou need a guy to come in and sing back-up for it to be successful.'ââThe Guardian Lee would also tell George Garner of âKerrang!â that the addition of a male rapper to âBring Me to Lifeâ was a position she had to argue the label down to, saying that if the label had had its way, âthen there would be a rap on, like, eight out of 11 songs on Fallen.â Lee has since re-recorded the song to reflect both how she would approach it now with years more experience in music production, and the way she originally wanted the song to sound without the male vocals. As for the week before, the two lyrics identified out of 10 is a lot closer to how this game usually goes. Among the lyrics left unidentified was one of my old favorites, âIâve Got a Radio,â by The Coyote Sisters. The trio of Marty Gwinn Townsend, RenĂ©e Armand, and Leak Kunkel (who was Cass Elliotâs younger sister) had their biggest success with âStraight from the Heart (Into Your Life)â which topped out at 66 on the US Hot 100 and 16 on the Adult Contemporary chart. âIâve Got a Radioâ is their only other single, and it reached 39 on Adult Contemporary, but didnât place on the Hot 100. The below music video is really the best place Iâve been able to find the song, as itâs not officially available anywhere. It was produced for Michael Nesmithâs critically successful (but short-lived) TV series âTelevision Parts,â and as a kid I encountered it on the compilation video that was released to rental stores, Dr. Duckâs Super Secret All-Purpose Sauce. That was also the first place I ever encountered Jimmy Buffet, and it took me years to realize that the âMargaritavilleâ and âCheeseburger in Paradiseâ guy was the same guy who did my second favorite video on that VHS tape, âLa Vie Dansante.â Featured Photo by Animesh Paul",
