Friday 10 #3

Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age.

Friday already? It’s not just any Friday, it’s Bandcamp Friday and time to empty my wishlist again.

The answers from last week’s game are posted. Yet again, five of you guessed seven. There are matching videos for all the songs, but I try to find interesting versions where possible. With one of the songs just a month or two old, though, I didn’t have much to choose from there.

Update: It’s Saturday morning and we have a record nine correct guesses! If you’re disappointed, try the set over at The Film Optimist.

Let’s go back, Jack, and do it again.

Remember:

1. No searching (not that search even works anymore)
2. Provide the artist and the song title, or at least near enough to both that I know what you’re talking about.
3. I’ll accept (some) cover versions, depending on how well known those covers are. It’s a judgment call.

This week's lyrics:

1. Run-around — Blues Traveler
   When you're feeling open I'll still be here, but not without a certain degree of fear
   

2. Hard to Handle — Otis Redding (covered by the Black Crowes)
   When I get through throwing it on you, you got to come back for more

3. Ring of Fire — Anita Carter (covered by Johnny Cash, covered by Social Distortion)
   I fell for you like a child; oh -- but the fire went wild
   Guessed by: Glen

4. Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos (_AKA_ Black Steel) — Public Enemy (covered by Tricky & Martina Topley-Bird)
   I wasn't with it but just that very minute it occured to me the suckers had authority
