Alright, following yesturday's competition, which was none, I will host an other.

Rules:
One guess, no more.

Winner Gets:
The title in the next Guess the Title and Artist Contests.

Handicap:
None, although last time I gave hints on the artists. There is one word however, if you can figrue it out fomr there.

How to enter:
Quote the whole thing, or break it up, what ever. Say which song is who, and its title.
The only problem is, you only have about four lines worth.

[Song One]
[Government]
There's a Gulf War vet, dying a slow, cold death
And the government says, "We don't know the source of his sickness."
But don't believe what they say, because your government is lying
They've done it before and don't you know they'll do it again


[Song Two]
[Capitalist]
'Cause I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned


[Song Three]
[1700's]
On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages



Past Winners:
(1A) BAAWA

Next Competition: Sunday or Monday (Tommarow, or after that)

LOL... there needs to be a no Google rule for this.

Or maybe a summary of the sentiment of the song? Something where you can't just search it.

Hard to enforce a no Google rule ...

Perhaps play small segments of the song via mp3 file or somethin'.
