With only one entrant in the last Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge, Neepheid wins by default, having correctly identified Blur's Beetlebum.
Here are the latest tunes to spot, courtesy of the Magic Tune Box set to shuffle. Just identify the song and the artist, no Googling allowed.
1. Pride can hurt you too, apologise to her.
2. I'm looking over the wall and they're looking at me.
3. What a big black mask, what a hunk of love.
4. Watching him dash away, swinging an old bouquet.
5. You were the seven deadly sins, making sense in your "screw me" dress.

The Eighteenth Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge
A while back, I resurrected the game no-one seems interested in playing, The Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge.
Jack Deighton was the winner on that occasion, correctly identifying Money by Pink Floyd. Answers to all of those questions are now in the comments on that post.
Here are the latest songs for you to identify. Place your answers in the comments. No Googling.
1. When I hear that big black whistle they blow, I feel inside it's time for me to be going.
2. When I fully grow I'll outsize you, but I won't let you fall in love.
3. Gonna manage my time just like Johann Cruyff.
4. For what it's worth it was worth all the while.
5. And when she lets me slip away, she turns me on, all my violence is gone.

The Seventeenth Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge
My blogging has been very erratic over the past couple of years, for a multitude of reasons.
So erratic in fact that the last time we had a Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge was back in September 2009.
Way back then, Cedric M. Kippers (now no longer wandering the blogosphere) identified three of the five tracks and Kenfitlike spotted one.
The answers are now in the comments on that post.
So without any further ado, here is the Seventeenth Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge. Simply name the artist and track, post your answers in the comments, no Googling.
1. I don't know if I'm up or down, Whether black is white or blue is brown.
2. Take off your disguise, I know that underneath it's me.
3. Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
4. I can see that light surrounds me, I want you to show me round.
5. Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God.

The Sixteenth Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge
It's been a VERY long time (eight months to be exact) since the last instalment of the Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge.
Neepheid was the winner on that occasion, correctly identifying two of the tracks. Answers are now on the comments on that post.
So now, here are the five mystery lyrics for you to identify. Simply name the artist and track - answers in the comments, no Googling!
1. Well your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it.
2. "Look out the left," the captain said, "The lights down there, that's where we'll land."
3. I got the pulsating rhythmical remedy.
4. Temperature's rising, fever is high, can't see no future, can't see no sky.
5. The pack on my back is aching, the straps seem to cut me like a knife.

The Thirteenth Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge
It may be a new year, but there are loose ends to tie up.
The Twelfth Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge took place more than a month ago, and answers are now in the comments on that post. The winners from that challenge were Rab (at least I'm presuming he's the mystery anonymous commenter), Stu Who? and The Tomahawk Kid.
However, time marches on, and we've hit unlucky 13 in the challenge that I shamelessly stole from TK himself. The rules are simple - lyrical snippets from five random offerings from The Magic Tune Box are printed below - simply name the artist and song without resorting to Google or other means of cheating.
1. How old are you? Are you old enough? Should you be in here watching that?
2. You love blow and I love puff, And life is like a pipe.
3. My man is smooth like Barry, and his voice got bass, A body like Arnold with a Denzel face.
4. When there's northerners and southerners, And westenders in Eastenders.
5. DJ, gonna burn this goddamn house right down.

The Ninth Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge
Answers to The Eighth Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge are now in the comments on that post. We had a three-way tie for winners this time around, Old Man, Ali and OestreBunny all correctly identifying one song apiece (actually, OestreBunny spotted two, but one was already picked out by Ali).
Here are this week's mystery tunes. Answers in the comments, no Googling.
1: Bring you a tale from the pastel fields where we ran when we were young.
2: Honey you are a rock upon which I stand, And I come here to talk, I hope you understand.
3: Train I ride, sixteen coaches long.
4: Here comes that panic attack, my heart stops... and then it starts.
5: If you smile then that should set the tone, just be limber.

1: We'll do it all, everything on our own, we don't need anything, or anyone.

4: I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss, well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross.

The Seventh Groanin' Jock Lyrical Challenge
It's been quite a while since the last Groanin' Jock lyrical challenge, so I thought I'd revive the game that no-one's talking about.
The object of the game is to identify the artists and tracks plucked at random from the Magic Tune Box. Answers in the comments. No Googling.
1: Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
2: Though I ain't got a bean, 'cause I've nothing to dream. So if you're waiting for nothing, do something for me.
3: He left no time to regret, kept his dick wet, with his same old safe bet.
4: Left alone with just a memory, life seems dead and so unreal. All that's left is loneliness, there's nothing left to feel.
5: Riding through the city on my bike all day 'cause the filth took away my licence.
