Name these two dozen tunes!
Dec. 14th, 2004 02:12 amMost of you know this meme already (I got it from
chaiya, who totally stumped me):
Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play!
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play!
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from!
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly! No cheating and pasting the lyrics into a search engine!
I have about 5000 songs on my iPod. It kept getting stuck with tunes with, like, four lines. I had to carve a lot. Still, let's start where the Winchester read-head started its hover... err, where the needle dropped:
1) Soul Coughing - "Suzy Snowflake"
If you wanna build a snowman, I'll help you make one 1-2-3.
2) Simon & Garfunkel - "Blessed"
Blessed are the sat upon, spat upon, ratted on.
3) The Who - "Pictures of Lilly"
I used to wake up in the morning, I used to feel so bad.
I got so sick of having sleepless nights. I went and told my dad.
4) Where pelagra makes you scrawny
5) All I wanna do is to tune in, radio L.A. New York.
Then I hit a bunch more songs I don't like. Screw the rules.
6)
Well you were the one that made me feel so natural
Right between your teeth just like a piece of toast.
And you treated me as more than just an animal
Cuz you knew that I could only be your ghost.
And you were the one that understood the tennis ball
And you were the one that came to me in flames
Cuz you wanted to be stuffed with something magical
And the cucumber was growing in my frame.
(Same song, amazing line): A police car with its tongue out in the dark.
7) Wilco - "I am trying to break your heart."
I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue.
I'm hidin' out in the big city blinkin'.
What was I thinkin' when I let go of you?
( If you're getting into it, you won't mind this cut-tag. I hope you don't mind. )
