Opening Lyrics Quiz

Last months Opening Narration Quiz was a minor success, so here is the sequel, this time with the lyrics to opening (or closing) theme songs. Guesses in the comments, no cheating.

  1. It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear,
    Well, it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
  2. All the world’s waiting for you, and the power you possess.
    In your satin tights, fighting for your rights
    And the old Red, White and Blue.
  3. What a cocky, saucy (something) this one is. All the Gods were angry and they punished him.
  4. It’s been a long road – getting from there to here.
    It’s been a long time, but my time is finally near
    And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
    And they’re not gonna hold me down no more
    No, they’re not gonna change my mind
  5. (someone) leads, (someone) does machines.
    (someone) is cool but crude, (someone) is a party dude.
  6. We never thought we’d find a place where we belong.
    Don’t have to stand alone, we’ll never let you fall.
    Don’t need permission to decide what you believe.
    I said JUMP…
  7. It’s time to put on makeup. It’s time to dress up right.
    It’s time to raise the curtain…
  8. Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage,
    It’s an institute you can’t disparage,
    Ask the local gentry, and they will say is element’ry.
  9. Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
    I never thought I could feel so free.
    Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
    Who could it be?
  10. Somebody save me. Let your warm hand break right through me
  11. I want to lie, shipwrecked and comatose,
    Drinking fresh mango juice,
    Goldfish shoals, nibbling at my toes,
    Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun.
  12. Just a friendly wave each morning, helps to make a better day.
    (Some people) need to get to know each other, next day is only a footstep away.
  13. It seems today that all you see;
    Is violence in movies and sex on TV.
    But where are those good old-fashioned values;
    On which we use to rely?
  14. Dance your cares away, (clap clap) worry’s for another day.
    Let the music play, down at (some place).
  15. Take me out to the black.
    Tell ‘em I ain’t comin’ back.
    Burn the land and boil the sea.
    You can’t take the sky from me.
  16. I’m gonna live forever. I’m gonna learn how to fly (high!)
    I feel it coming together, People will see me and cry.
  17. He’s the greatest! He’s fantastic!
    Wherever there is danger, he’ll be there!
    He’s the ace! He’s amazing!
    He’s the strongest, he’s the quickest, he’s the best!
  18. Everybody’s got a special kind of story. Everybody finds a way to shine,
    It don’t matter that you got not alot. So what,
    They’ll have theirs, and you’ll have yours, and I’ll have mine.
    And together we’ll be fine…
  19. Straightnin’ the curve,
    Flatnin’ the hills.
    Someday the mountain might get ‘em,
    But the law never will.
  20. Is it you or is it me?
    Lately I’ve been lost it seems.
    I think a change is what I need.

  4. Not a bad team effort. I am particularly impressed you guys got 21 Jump Street and Smallville, I thought those were particularly hard.

    That just leaves 2, 3 (nice guess, but wrong) and 4 to go. 2 and 3 might be a little too old/obscure but 4 is pretty easy.
