Way back on December 13th, I did one of those standard random lyrics memes that was the genesis of this lyrics game, but I never posted the answers to that one. I'm actually ashamed that no one got Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue". That's just sad, people.
So they are here behind the cut, if you care.
