tuesday iPod random ten thank god tomorrow's the solstice lyrics game

You know how it works, boys and girls, I give you the lyrics, and you give me the titles and artist.  Remember, googlers make the polar bears drown.

1) Mango ladies, vendedoras, at a bus stop sing a Banda Macho chorus
2) I'm yelling at the kids in the back 'cause they're banging like Charlie Watts
3)You raise my hopes then you raise the odds, you tell me that I dream too much, now I'm spending time in disillusionment
4) I've seen some hot hot blazes burn down to smoke and ash
5) I bought you that ring 'cause I never was cool
6) She bold as a street light, dark and sweet as hash
7) I heard you let that little friend of mine take off your party dress
8) I don't care if you don't want me, I'm yours right now
9) To walk to school, she has to get up early.  Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty
10) There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder

And for all you badass chingón cabrones out there, a bonus:
Y pensar que te adoraba ciegamente
A tu lado como nunca me sentí
Y por esas cosas raras de la vida
Sin el beso de tu boca yo me ví

7. Alison (Elvis Costello)
9. Living Just Enough for the City (Stevie Wonder)
10. Girls Talk (Elvis Costello again)

i only knew no.7. 9.and i am sure no.10 is nick lowe not elvis costello?

My version of number ten is actually by Dave Edmunds. I know Elvis does it, too, and I wouldn't be surprised if Nick Lowe had one as well. I love Nick Lowe! I haven't listened to him in so long.

I got 7 and 9, but the rest of it? I'm drawing a complete blank.

I like the idea of sticking in a few lyrics from my Random Tens. May just try it myself...with an appropriate hat tip, of course!

I think that Nick Lowe may actually be playing on that Dave Edmunds version, but I'd have to use Google to look it up. (Why do I have such a random particle of info in my head?)

Sadly, aside from the ones already guessed, 'I got nothing'.
