Music Meme - It's That Time of Year Again
Ganked from all over.
- Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
- Record the first few lines of the first thirty songs that come up that do not give away the name of the song. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
- Make hapless LJ denizens guess the song names and artists. Google is cheating. For musical songs, the name of the musical is acceptable in place of the artist.
- Least hapless LJ denizen wins admiration. That's right; the points are something you'll never see, just like Pat Buchanan in the White House!
01. All those beautiful people
I want to have them
I want to have them all
All those porcelain models
If only I could make them fall
- "Swanheart", Nightwish (guessed by nuitsongeur)
02. You can rent your blues
And photograph your soul
You can even dig some diamonds out of rock and roll

We are pushed into little forms
No one asks how we like to be

04. I was a-walking in the north country
Down by Kirby Steven I happened for to be
(song alone is good for this one)
05. Now this hot girl
(hot)
She's not your average girl
She's a morpharotic dream from a magazine
06. Peeking through the embers
Stirring up a storm
07. Long as I remember the rain been comin' down
Clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground
- "Who'll Stop the Rain?", Creedance Clearwater Revival (guessed by nuitsongeur)
08. I'll take it to the wire now
Until every race is won
I'll wade into the fire now
Until every day is done

09. Down by the bay
Where the moonlit water falls
I stood alone while the minstrel sang his song
So afraid I'd lost my soul
10. The telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
Anticipating fun

My mind being bent on rambling, to Ireland I did fly

To the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend
Come inside, come inside

Reaching a fever-pitch that's bringing me out the dark

14. Sane man don't go mad all on their own
(Oh, no, no) (Uh-uh)
They don't just stumble on the road to hell
No, sometimes they gotta be shown
15. Reflects in the sky, warn you you're gonna die
Storm coming, you better hide from the atomic tide
16. Well I'm a weapon of mass destruction
Got no apologies for a hyper concussion
I might swipe your identity
Take your love and turn it into obscenity

17. Whoa, thought it was a nightmare, lo, it's all so true
They told me don't go walkin' slow, the devil's on the loose

I met you a long, long time ago
But you're still a stranger
There's so much I don't know

19. If I were a human being
I'd head straight for New Orleans
And I'd blow this horn so hot and strong
Like no one they'd ever seen

He used to steal, gamble, and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy around

Why you let the things you did get so out-of-hand?

Work your rites
Burn your little candles day and night
24. Hanging by a thread, problems in my head
Don't know what I said, living to be dead on the run
25. Mine friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never meet here again

26. You know the way that things go
When what you fight for starts to fall
And in that fuzzy picture
The writing stands out on the wall
So clearly on the wall

That was written long ago
About a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley far below
- "One Tin Soldier" (guessed by arinye)
28. Young child with dreams
Dream every dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
29. End of passion play
Crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
- "Master of Puppets", Metallica (guessed by fierynotes)
30. This is the place where we belong
Up at the top, riding on a song
