Guess Again
My, there's been a flurry of blogging around here today! My blogging process is, like the Internet, a series of tubes. When one post that I perceive as particularly serious or long (like the one about Madeleine L'Engle) is in the works, it clogs everything else up. I don't want to blog anything else before I got that done, so a lot of things just hang around in the idea-stage until I finish.
Anyway, here's a little meme I got from pesky'apostrophe and then it's off to bed with me!¹
Here are the [adapted] rules for the meme:
- Put your mp3 player or music player on your computer on random.
- Post the first four lines from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (Skip repeat artists).
- Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Leave your guesses in the comments. Some will be super easy, but try not to cheat by Googling.
They are in the extension below! I have only altered the list by skipping covers and mashups and songs in foreign languages.
- [spoken introduction that I ignored for the purpose of this meme because I didn't know how many lines it counted as]
Come along with us!
Come along to Awesometown!
Come along with us!
And wipe away your frown ✔ The Lonely Island, "Awesometown Theme Song" - [spoken lines, intro]
I call you up whenever things go wrong.
You're always there, you are my shoulder to cry on
I can't believe it took me quite so long.
To take the forbidden step - is this something that I might regret? - Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me
I could honestly say that things can only get better ✔ Elton John, "I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues" - One and one-half wandering Jews,
Free to wander wherever they choose
Are travelling together in the Sangre de Cristo
The Blood of Christ mountains of New Mexico [I know who'll get this one!] ✔ Paul Simon, "Hearts and Bones" - I don't want to hear it,
No more fussin' and fightin' baby, hold me tight.
Let's let bygones be bygones,
Let's think about tomorrow girl, our future's bright. - Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin' [God, I hope this is the most embarrassing song that will come up in this.] ✔ Captain and Tennille, "Muskrat Love" - It's in her head
It's in her mind
She can't believe it
Can't believe she's running out of time [I think this is the hardest one so far.] - Don't stray
Don't ever go away
I should be much to smart for this
You know it gets the better of me sometimes - Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles
God took a Daniel once again
Stood by his side and miracle of miracles
Walked him through the lion's den ✔ Fiddler on the Roof, "Miracle of Miracles" - You say
That we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart ✔ Deep Blue Something, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" - Suddenly before my eyes
Hues of indigo arise
With them how my spirit sighs
Paint the sky with stars ✔ Enya, "Paint the Sky With Stars" - Werewolves are dogs, vampires are cats
This ancient war is where I'm at
I'm the perfect killing machine
Killed every vampire that I've seen [Ha!] ✔ Lestrat, "Your Rock is Too Hard" - In a little while from now,
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower ✔ Gilbert O'Sullivan, "Alone Again, Naturally" - Any time tomorrow I will lie and say I'm fine
I'll say yes when I mean no
And any time tomorrow the sun will cease to shine
There's a shadowman who told me so ✔ K's Choice, "Shadowman" - The lonesome Texas sun was setting low
And in the rearview mirror I watched it go
I can still see the wind in her golden hair
I close my eyes for a moment, I'm still there ✔ Nina Persson, "The Bluest Eyes in Texas" - I was alone, I found love
Now I got some (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You came along, right on time
With a new song (yeah yeah yeah yeah) - Once my lover, now my friend.
What a cruel thing to pretend.
What a cunning way to condescend.
Once my lover, now my friend. ✔ Fiona Apple, "Shadowboxer" - I drink good coffee every morning
Comes from a place that's far away
And when I'm done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say ✔ Colin Hay, "I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You" - I had visions, I was in them,
I was looking into the mirror
To see a little bit clearer
The rottenness and evil in me ✔ Harvey Danger, "Flagpole Sitta" - Some people stay far away from the door
If there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that it just passes by ✔ Billy Joel, "An Innocent Man"
