Don't Forget The "17an" Lyrics

Unless you're a freak who exclusively uses the lunar calendar, you should've realized that it's August already. Before you know it, we'll once again celebrate the independence of Indonesia on August 17 or tujuhbelasan, colloquially. Uh-huh, it's that time of the year when you can go nuts with red and white everywhere. Don't forget to throw in some "nationalism" and "patriotism", bring back memories of the good ol' days, and open the great tujuhbelasan songbook -OK, Cokelat's album is fine if you don't feel like being old and tacky. Well, this is the first tujuhbelasan in my blog, and it's a nice season to write anything about Indonesia.

This first 17an post is most probably more suitable for fellow Indonesians, who make up the majority of this blog's readership. I just watched a game show called Missing Lyrics in TransTV: Indonesian version of Don't Forget the Lyrics. It inspired me to write this post. I put down some lyrics with blanks and let's see if you can complete them. The twist is that I'm giving you both 17an songs and some recent hits. Which one is easier for you?
