THIS WEEK'S CATEGORY: WE'RE "BACK"!
On-air questions: It's been a few weeks since we've had a show, but we're back! And to celebrate our return, we're going to listen to some music. Specifically, I'll give you some lyrics from a song with the word "back" in the title and the year it was released, and you name the song.
1. 1969: "Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner / But he knew it couldn't last / Jo Jo left his home in Tucson, Arizona / For some California grass"
2. 1989: "I'd take back those words that hurt you / And you'd stay / If I could reach the stars / I'd give 'em all to you"
3. 1969: "Oh, baby, all I need is one more chance (To show you that I love you) / Won't you please let me (Back in your heart) / Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go"
4. 1970: "Tambourines and elephants are playin' in the band / Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? / Wond'rous apparition provided by magician"
5. 2012: "I remember when we broke up the first time / Saying, 'This is it, I've had enough,' 'cause like / We hadn't seen each other in a month / When you said you needed 'space'"
