nce again, I’m a week late in posting a new Friday 10 — and this time I don’t even have a show to blame for it! But I’m back with another 10 songs after the last set pulled three identifications. That was Fred with two, and Frodis Caper with one!

Here’s a new set of lyrics. Hop into the comments and identify the song and the artist! Remember, I’m looking for you to answer off the top of your head, and I’ll give you credit if you identify a different cover than I was listening to — but only if I can find it!
