Pop Culture 2

I can see clearly now the rain has gone. Gone, like yesterday is gone. Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Somewhere over the rainbow. Somewhere out there. Somewhere.

The young and the hopeless girls and boys - gotta tell you: breathe. Breathe in now. Climb every mountain. She's so high, high above me...Can you take me higher? I keep on fallin', falling like rain. Take my breath away, the wind beneath my wings smells like teen spirit. It's getting harder and harder to breathe.

Hey now, you're an all star, some kind of superstar. Quicker than a ray of light, a champagne supernova. From a distance, lifestyles of the rich and famous shimmer. Some might say: hello, welcome to my life, goodbye. Hollywood. So predictable.

Let it be. Good riddance, american idiot. Time after time, you're forgiven not forgotten. I will remember you. Memories: stuck. Can't get you out of my head. Addicted. Just like a pill.

Tomorrow - so yesterday. If only I could turn back time, rock around the clock. Clocks: Tick tock tick tock....

What you waiting for? What would you do? That's all I ask of you.

more challenging than pop ciulture 1... but i see alot of oasis...

Vivian said...

:) More challenging in what way? in terms of working out what songs are in there?

well some of them are song lines and some are song titles...i kinda cheated...it's also more challenging to write second time round.

But consistent with the spirit of pop culture: the sequel is rarely as fun as the original...

I say Pun, this isn't meant to be some sort of test or anything, it's just for entertainment. but if you find this sort of puzzle-solving entertaining, so be it.

Please note there may be more than one correct answer for each non-existent question. Please attempt all questions. No marks will be deducted for incorrect answers.

(And who on earth are Berlin?)

Minerva said...

Yes I knwo its not a test, I was bored.

*jaw drops to ground* Berlin sings Take my breath away, the theme song from Top Gun, Tom Cruise in it. Come now, I'm not that old.

Vivian said...
